Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Activating mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are strongly predictive of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) activity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, primary resistance to EGFR-TKIs occurs in approximately 20-30% of NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations. The goal of this study was to determine whether p16/CDKN2A homozygous deletion (HD) is associated with primary...
