## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: A prognostic model based on clinical parameters for nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with gefitinib (250 mg/day) as a salvage therapy was devised. ## METHODS: Clinical data regarding a total of 316 metastatic or recurrent NSCLC patients who were treat

## 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 Recently, mutations in the __epidermal growth factor receptor__ (__EGFR__) gene in nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients were reported to correlate with gefitinib response. Less than 30% of NSCLC patients are surgically resectable; however, molecular analysis has to rely on nonsurg
