Abstract excerpt
p53 and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are common genes involved in the pathogenesis of lung cancer, but their roles in lymphoepithelioma-like carcinomas (LELC) are unclear. In this study, we investigate the roles of p53 and EGFR in LELC carcinogenesis. Forty-six pulmonary LELCs were identified to evaluate p53 and EGFR aberrations. p53 mutations were identified in three patients, which all occurred in...
