Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to detect mutations in EGFR and KRAS and alterations of c-Met gene copy number (GCN) changes in primary and lymph node-metastatic NSCLCs. The data showed the concordant rate of EGFR genotype in primary and stage N2 lymph node-metastatic tumors was 95.45%. c-Met GCN in stage N2 lymph nodes was significantly higher than that of the primary tumors (P=0.038). The results suggest both primary and...
