Abstract:Background: The treatment for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer relies on molecular diagnosis on tumor DNA for guiding systemic therapy. Liquid biopsy provides a timely and non-invasive way of detecting potential therapeutic targets and spares the need of performing a confirmatory biopsy procedure in patients with a positive result. Method: We report local experience on epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations detected by two platforms (droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) technique and… Show more
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.
