Abstract:Lung cancer is one of the cancers with the most cases occurring in both men and women. It was found that a number of patients with lung cancer had mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). The EGFR mutation is a somatic mutation associated with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which can be identified using real-time PCR or Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) in a sample obtained from formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue. The presence of EGFR mutation in lung cancer tissue has revealed an opp… Show more
