Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Treatment for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is often determined by the presence of biomarkers that predict the response to agents targeting specific molecular pathways. Demands for multiplex analysis of the genes involved in the pathogenesis of NSCLC are increasing. METHODS: We validated the Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM) system using the Ion AmpliSeq Cancer...
