Validated markers are needed to identify operable lung cancer patients with poor prognosis. About one-half of nonsmall-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) carry a mutation in the p53 tumor-suppressor gene. We examined 101 NSCLC patients for surgical stage, completeness of resection, tobacco smoking, asbestos
The optimal management of patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) depends on the accuracy of appropriate staging strategies. The best approach for clinical staging, especially the evaluation of lymph node metastasis, continues to confound clinicians. A specific, less-invasive method to suppo
## Abstract Mounting evidence has suggested somatic mutations in the __EGFR__ gene are associated with better responsiveness to __EGFR__ tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with nonβsmallβcell lung cancer (NSCLC). Some, but not all, studies have reported that the mutations were more frequ
