Frequent EGFR expression/EGFR amplification and lack of activating mutation in testicular choriocarcinoma.

Abstract excerpt

Choriocarcinoma (CC) is the rarest but most aggressive histological component of adult testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT). Although we previously reported a putative role of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) alterations in the progression of CC, little is known about the kinase-activating mutation status of EGFR, which predicts the response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors. In this study, we...
