## 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 Recently, the authors identified molecular signatures and pathways associated with nonsmall cell lung carcinoma histology and lung development. They hypothesized that genetic classifiers of histology would provide insight into lung tumorigenesis and would be associated wi
## Abstract Mutations in the tumor suppressor gene transforming growth factor Ξ² (TGFB) Type II receptor (__TGFBR2__) are frequently found in many cancers with microsatellite instability, but are less common in lung cancer. In the present study, we looked for mutations in __TGFBR2__ in nonsmall cell
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The ISEL (Iressa Survival Evaluation in Lung Cancer) clinical trial evaluated the efficacy of gefitinib versus placebo in pretreated nonsmallβcell lung cancer patients. Two different antibodies, scoring systems, and cutoff points of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)
