OBJECTIVES: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations are important predictors of treatment response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, some patients with mutations do not respond and some patients without mutations show response. We therefore need additional biomarkers to improve the selection of these patients for treatment. A promising...
