Peptide Nucleic Acid Clamping Versus Direct Sequencing for the Detection of <i>EGFR</i> Gene Mutation in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
23 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Direct sequencing (DS) is the standard method for detection of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, low detection sensitivity is a problem. The aim of this study is to demonstrate higher detection rate of EGFR gene mutation with peptide nucleic acid (PNA) clamping compared with DS. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a single arm, prospective...
