Abstract excerpt
AIM: As a novel molecularly targeting agent for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), Gefitinib can block its tyrosine kinase activity of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Genetic variations in EGFR may affect its protein function or expression and lead to diverse outcomes in NSCLC patients after Gefitinib therapy. Therefore, this prospective study examined whether EGFR single nucleotide polymorphisms...
