Significance of epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutations in squamous cell lung carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations have been reported to be clinically significant in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, because most previous studies focused only on adenocarcinomas, EGFR mutations in other histotypes are poorly investigated. We evaluated the frequency of EGFR gene mutations in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and its clinicopathological features. In total, 89 frozen...
