Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M mutation is associated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the tissue availability and technical feasibility limits the genotyping of EGFR T790M mutation in the clinical setting. The current study is, therefore, designed to develop a blood-based approach to detect the EGFR T790M mutation in...
