Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We evaluated the distribution and clinical impact of EGFR, KRAS and HER2 copy number gains and EGFR, KRAS and BRAF activating mutations in resected non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) from 151 Polish patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Quantitative PCR and DNA sequencing were used for copy number evaluation and mutational analysis, respectively. RESULTS: An increased EGFR CN was found in 21.2% of the...
