Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The development of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) T790M point mutation in exon 20 (T790M) is the most common mechanism of resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). The purpose of this study was to determine the association of (18)F-2-fluoro-2-deoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) metrics with T790M status after acquiring resitance to...
