Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: The EURTAC trial demonstrated the greater efficacy of erlotinib compared with chemotherapy for the first-line treatment of European patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring oncogenic epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations (exon 19 deletion or L858R mutation in exon 21) in tumor tissue. OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility of using circulating free DNA (cfDNA) from...
