Abstract excerpt
This study aimed to investigate the association of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene polymorphism and AKT1 polymorphism with the clinical outcomes in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). The clinical outcome and the survival of NSCLC of 230 patients after treatment with EGFR-TKIs were measured. The rs712829, rs1468727 of the EGFR...
