Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene predict benefit from tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients suffering from non-small-cell lung cancer. In this study, we developed a fast, simple, cost-effective and highly sensitive assay for detection of five clinically important EGFR mutations in exon 19 (2235_2249del and 2236_2250del), exon 20 (C2369T) and exon 21...
