Abstract excerpt
Though patients with EGFR mutations are initially responsive to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), most tumors ultimately acquire resistance to EGFR-TKIs. The most frequently reported mechanism is EGFR T790M mutation. In this study, using a droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) system, we assessed optimal conditions for a mutation detection assay for EGFR T790M obtained from circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in...
