It has been suggested that human papillomavirus (HPV) could participate in the development of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). A higher HPV infection rate has been reported in the NSCLC samples from Asian non-smoker patients, with adenocarcinomas or responders to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI). We explored a potential relationship between EGFR mutation, response to EGFR-TKI and HPV infection in...
