Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Activating mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) could predict response to tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of performing EGFR mutation testing on...
