Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a novel target for therapy in a subset of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Tumors with EGFR mutations showed good response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). We aimed to identify the discriminating capacity of immunohistochemistry (IHC) to detect EGFR L858R and del E746-A750 mutations in NSCLC patients and predict EGFR TKIs response. METHODS: We...
