Survival analysis and pathological features of advanced non-small cell lung cancer with miliary pulmonary metastases in patients harboring epidermal growth factor receptor mutations.

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), indicating hematogenous dissemination, is more frequent in patients harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, who respond dramatically to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). METHODS: Based on the proposed association of miliary pulmonary metastasis and EGFR mutations in the previous studies, we conducted a retrospective study to...
