Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to detect the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-activating mutations and other oncogene alterations in patients with non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC) who experienced a treatment failure in response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) with a next generation sequencer. METHODS: Fifteen patients with advanced NSCLC previously treated with EGFR-TKIs were examined...
