## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Erlotinib, in combination with gemcitabine, has shown clinical benefits in pancreatic adenocarcinoma patients. The presence of __EGFR__ mutations and increased __EGFR__ copy numbers in pancreatic adenocarcinoma was explored. ## METHODS. Sixtyβsix pancreatic cancer pati
Somatic mutations in the tyrosine kinase (TK) domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene in lung cancers have generated enormous interest, because they predict for sensitivity to TK inhibitors (TKIs). While mutational status is of great importance in determining response to TKIs, it

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Somatic mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase domain are associated with sensitivity to EGFRβtyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFRβTKI) in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). ## METHODS: The authors tested the possibility that nucleoti
