Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Exon 19 deletion (Del19) and exon 21 L858R substitution (L858R), which account for 90% of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations as common mutations, are associated with favorable outcomes with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) compared with other uncommon EGFR mutations in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, whether there are differences in overall survival (OS) between...
