Abstract excerpt
The emergence of targeted therapies in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including inhibitors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase, has increased the need for robust companion diagnostic tests. Nowadays, detection of actionable variants in exons 18-21 of the EGFR gene by qPCR and direct DNA sequencing is often replaced by next-generation sequencing (NGS). In this study, we evaluated the...
