We found a significant association between EGFR mutation and risk of brain metastases at the time of diagnosis and follow-up after curative resection for pulmonary adenocarcinoma. This result indicates the distinct clinical features of EGFR-mutated tumors in terms of brain metastases.
Physicians should be familiar with unique features of lung cancer with metastasis to the gastrointestinal tract so as to render early and optimal management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
