Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: To assess whether polymorphisms of genes related to estrogen biosynthesis and metabolism are associated with EGFR mutations. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We studied 617 patients with lung adenocarcinoma, including 302 never-smoking women. On the basis of multiple candidate genes approach, the effects of polymorphisms of CYP17, CYP19A1, ERα, and COMT in association with the occurrence of EGFR mutations were...
