Abstract excerpt

Primary lung cancer was suspected in three patients upon chest computed tomography (CT) and bronchoscopy. Wash cytology revealed that all patients had lesions categorized as class III or lower (Papanicolaou classification), and the wash solution was then subjected to an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation search. As a result, exon 19 deletion was found in two patients, whereas an exon 21 L858R...
