Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations affecting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are good predictors of clinical efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

This study analyzed the association between EGFR gene mutations and clinical...
