Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinomas (SC) are tumors characterized by poor prognosis and resistance to conventional platinum-based chemotherapy. This study sought to describe the mutational profile of SC using high-throughput genotyping technology. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We used mass spectrometry to test 114 surgical biopsies from 81 patients with SC for 214 mutations affecting 26 oncogenes and tumor...
