Abstract:Aim: To determine ALK fusion protein and EGFR protein expression by Immunohistochemistry in lung adenocarcinoma.
Materials and Method:In this retrospective study, ALK and EGFR expression was evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 101 Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) tissues of lung adenocarcinoma.Results: In this study 11% patients showed ALK fusion protein expression. In relation to clinical parameters, a higher positive expression was observed in patients with age <59, in male gender and tobacco users. … Show more
