Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The role of serum tumor markers (STMs) in the modern management of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutations in lung cancer remains poorly described. In this study, we investigated whether STMs could be a valuable noninvasive tool to predict EGFR mutations and ALK positivity in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We...
