Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the EGFR gene are critical determinants of treatment with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. DNA isolation from tumor samples usually requires surgery; therefore, we wanted to isolate DNA from circulating tumor cells by using the serum of NSCLC patients. This protocol was recently published. DNA was isolated from the serum of 52 Turkish NSCLC...
