Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations are usually detected by direct sequencing to identify patients with advanced pulmonary adenocarcinomas as candidates for tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of EGFR mutation-specific antibodies in identifying EGFR-mutated adenocarcinomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-three consecutive cases of...
