## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Because the investigation of epidermal growth factor receptor gene (__EGFR__) status as a predictor of gefitinib efficacy in Japanese patients has shown promise, the authors evaluated __EGFR__ mutations and gene amplification in biopsy specimens from Japanese patients wi
## Abstract ## Background and Objectives In this paper we examined the influence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations on EGFR expression, downstream mediators, and survival in patients with nonβsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ## Methods We retrospectively analyzed the tumors
