The Relationship between Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutations and Clinicopathologic Features in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancers

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the relationship between EGFR mutation and clinicopathologic features and found that EGFR mutations were significantly related to histology and smoke exposure and were a strong predictive factor for gefitinib responsiveness in NSCLC.

Presence of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Gene T790M Mutation as a Minor Clone in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

TL;DR: The results indicate that the T790M mutation is sometimes present in a minor population of tumor cells during the development of NSCLC and suggest that the detection of small fractions of T790m mutant alleles may be useful for predicting gefitinib resistance of NSclCs with sensitive EGFR mutations.
