## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Somatic mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (__EGFR__) are present in βΌ10% of nonsmall cell lung cancers, and higher in neverβsmokers, women, and Asians. Small inβframe deletions in exon 19 (βΌ45%) and L858R mutation in exon 21 (βΌ40%) predict response to tre

The ability of computed tomography (CT) to detect metastatic lesions in adrenal glands was evaluated on 91 autopsied lung cancer patients who died in 11 hospitals in the eastern United States and Canada from January 1983 to February 1988. Abdominal CT scans within 90 days of death were reviewed twic
## Abstract ## Background The ability to objectively measure lung function in children is critical in the assessment and treatment of asthma in this age group. We thus determined the effectiveness of impulse oscillometry (IOS) as a nonβinvasive technique to assess lung function in children and in
