Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To confirm the predictive value of targeted therapies for oncogenic driver gene mutations detected in malignant pleural effusion (MPE) cell blocks from patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS: For patients with NSCLC whose tumor tissues could not be used to detect oncogenic driver gene status, molecular mutation status in 101 MPE cell blocks was tested using amplification...
