Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Brain metastases (BM) are a life-threatening complication. We aimed to analyse gene mutations in lung adenocarcinoma BM. METHODS: We performed next generation sequencing (NGS) of a pre-defined set of 48 cancer-related genes in a cohort of 76 neurosurgical lung adenocarcinoma BM specimens using a cancer specific gene panel on the MiSeq platform (Illumina, San Diego, CA). NGS results were statistically...
