Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation positivity in primary non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) may confer increased sensitivity to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy with improved progression-free survival over EGFR wild-type tumours. Some mutation subtypes may not confer such TKI sensitivity. The incidence of rare and compound subtypes in the Australian lung cancer population is...
