Abstract excerpt
AIM: The aim of this study is to evaluate the diagnostic value of PET-CT scan for the prediction of EGFR mutation status and the contribution of TTF-1 expression to PET-CT scan. METHODS: We retrospectively studied 218 cases with a diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma between 2012-2014 which underwent EGFR analysis, TTF-1 and PET-CT before treatment. RESULTS: The EGFR mutation was present in 28.9% (n= 63) of...
