Association of Merkel cell polyomavirus infection with EGFR mutation status in Chinese non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Female lung cancer patients with no smoking habit and non-mucinous adenocarcinoma have a higher rate of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations, which is related to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) sensitivity. Unfortunately the cause of EGFR gene mutations is still elusive. In this study, we search for the association between Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV) infection and EGFR gene...
