Abstract excerpt
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) might be useful predictive markers for EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment of intracranial metastatic tumors. In this retrospective study, amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS)-PCR assays were used to investigate the EGFR gene status in 30 lung adenocarcinoma patients with brain metastases. A total of 16 patients tested...
