Abstract excerpt
Background: Epithelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR TKI) revolutionize the standard of care for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring sensitive EGFR mutation.

Here the relationship between the elevation of transaminase and progression-free survival (PFS) was explored. Methods:...
