Peripheral Blood for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation Detection in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients
OBJECTIVE It is important to analyze and track Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation status for predicting efficacy and monitoring resistance throughout EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) treatment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility and predictive utility of EGFR mutation detection in peripheral blood. ME...

متن کاملExpression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor and the association with Demographic and Prognostic Factors in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Introduction: Growth, proliferation, survival, and differentiation are the prominent characteristics of cells, which are affected by cancer. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a pivotal role in the effective control of these features. Given the significance of EGFR signaling pathway in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), EGFR expression is influential on these cell characteristics. I...
متن کاملBronchial Colonization in Patients with Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer
Lower airways are sterile, but many researchers have reported the existence of bronchial colonization with pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms in smokers and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer. The aim of this study was to determine the existence and type of bronchial colonization in patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), as well as to...
متن کاملSuitability of Surgical Tumor Tissues, Biopsy, or Cytology Samples for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation Testing in Non–Small Cell Lung Carcinoma Based on Chinese Population12
BACKGROUND Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status is crucial in treatment selection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients; however, the detection materials' availability remains challenging in clinical practice. In this study, we collected surgical resection tissues, lymph node biopsy, and cytological samples for EGFR mutation testing and investigated the associations...
