Abstract excerpt
Detection of driver gene mutations is important in advanced NSCLC. The cobas EGFR mutation test is a mutant allele-specific real-time PCR assay with limitation owing to its primer design. Next-generation sequencing-based assay has a higher mutation detection coverage; however, its clinical impact remains unclear. We retrospectively collected the records of stage IV NSCLC patients with wild-type EGFR tested by...
