Early Multiple Primary Lung Cancer without Fluorodeoxyglucose Uptake on Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography and Displaying Different EGFR Molecular Profiles

To the Editor: Multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) refers to the synchronous or metachronous appearance of more than one primary lung cancer in a single patient. The diagnosis of MPLC is complicated and it is often difficult to differentiate MPLC from metastatic lung cancers based on radiologic and histopathologic criteria alone. Moreover, the therapeutic regimens and prognosis for early MPLC a...
