Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) predict response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Mutations occur more commonly in never smokers and East Asians, but there are conflicting reports on the frequency of EGFR mutations in tumors from African Americans. METHODS: Tumors from 67 African American and 77 white participants in previous case-control studies...
