Abstract excerpt
Primary pulmonary mucinous adenocarcinoma (PPMA) is one of the important subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma. Detection of anaplastic lymphoma receptor tyrosine kinase (ALK) rearrangements and of KRAS and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations will help in diagnosing and predicting treatment outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathological significance of ALK rearrangements, KRAS...
