Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIM: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling inhibitors are potent therapeutic agents for EGFR-mutant non-small-cell lung cancer, but the effects of such inhibitors on the localization of EGFR mutations in tumor tissues remain to be elucidated. Thus, a simple and efficient technology for the detection of mutations in tumor tissue specimens needs to be developed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using...
