Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Our aim was to determine whether abundance of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in tumors predicts benefit from treatment with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS: We detected EGFR mutations in 100 lung cancer samples using direct DNA sequencing and amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS). Mutation-positive...
