Comparative Study[Discordance of epidermal growth factor receptor mutations between primary and corresponding metastatic tumors in non-small cell lung cancer].
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation assay has been applied to select the chemosensitive patients for tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment widely. The aim of this study is to determine the discordance of EGFR mutations between primary and corresponding metastatic tumors in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ⋯ EGFR mutations were discordant between the primary tumor and the corresponding metastases in NSCLC.
