Pulmonary adenocarcinoma with epidermal growth factor receptor-mutations in asbestos exposed non-smokers: A case series.

American journal of industrial medicine - 1 Mar 2017

Kradin Richard L, Iafrate John, Christiani David C

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Cigarette smoke and asbestos are recognized causes of lung carcinoma and together promote carcinogenesis. Adenocarcinoma is currently the most common cause of lung cancer in the USA and it has been linked to both smoking and asbestos exposure. Mutations in the epidermal growth factor gene receptor (EGFR) occur predominantly in non-smokers with adenocarcinoma. Methods Mutations in the EGFR gene were...
