<i>EGFR</i> Exon 19 Insertions: A New Family of Sensitizing <i>EGFR</i> Mutations in Lung Adenocarcinoma
21 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) genotyping is now standard in the management of advanced lung adenocarcinoma, as this biomarker predicts marked benefit from treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI). EGFR exon 19 insertions are a poorly described family of EGFR mutations, and their association with EGFR-TKI sensitivity in lung adenocarcinoma is uncertain. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Patients...
