Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical value of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) detection in pleural effusion cell blocks among patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: From July 2016 to September 2018, EGFR gene mutations in 40 lung tumor tissue samples and pleural fluid samples from NSCLC patients in Jinhua Municipal Central Hospital were assessed by the amplification refractory mutation...
