Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase (HER2) transmembrane domain (TMD) mutations (HER2V659E, HER2G660D) have previously been identified in lung adenocarcinomas, but their frequency and clinical significance is unknown. METHODS: We prospectively analyzed 8551 consecutive lung adenocarcinomas using hybrid capture-based comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) at the request of the individual treating...
