[Results of EGFR Mutations Detected in Pleural Effusion and Its 
Clinical Significance in 132 Patients with Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: 
A Retrospective Study in A Single Center].

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The lack of pathological quality control standard in detecting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation in malignant pleural effusion leads to confusion in the interpretation of detection results and the clinical use of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). Therefore, it is very important to propose quality control standards and guide the detection of EGFR mutation in pleural effusion....
