Abstract excerpt
Tumors with certain mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) family genes dramatically respond to EGFR inhibitors. Therefore, these mutations are important factors that influence disease progression and patient survival. We previously studied the mutation status of EGFR in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). However, the mutation status of lymph node metastases and the...
