## Abstract Small molecule epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown promising activity in patients with non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Gefitinib has been the first of these drugs to be licensed for third‐line treatment of advanced NSCLC patients. Mor
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Somatic mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase domain are associated with sensitivity to EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR‐TKI) in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ## METHODS: The authors tested the possibility that nucleoti
## Abstract We investigated the relationships between genetic factors and clinical outcome in Japanese non‐small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with gefitinib. Ninety‐eight NSCLC patients who had been treated with gefitinib, were screened for mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor
