Expression of Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor and the association with Demographic and Prognostic Factors in Patients with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer
Introduction: Growth, proliferation, survival, and differentiation are the prominent characteristics of cells, which are affected by cancer. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) plays a pivotal role in the effective control of these features. Given the significance of EGFR signaling pathway in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), EGFR expression is influential on these cell characteristics. I...

متن کاملEpidermal growth factor receptor mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
A year has passed since mutations of the tyrosine kinase domain of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) were discovered in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had dramatic clinical responses to treatment with gefitinib. Additional laboratory and clinical studies have provided further insight into the biological impact of EGFR mutations in cell culture experiments and in ...
متن کاملPeripheral Blood for Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation Detection in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients
OBJECTIVE It is important to analyze and track Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutation status for predicting efficacy and monitoring resistance throughout EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) treatment in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The objective of this study was to determine the feasibility and predictive utility of EGFR mutation detection in peripheral blood. ME...
متن کاملComparison of direct sequencing and amplification refractory mutation system for detecting epidermal growth factor receptor mutation in non-small-cell lung cancer patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis
BACKGROUND Direct sequencing and amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) are commonly used to detect epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer to inform the decision-making on tyrosine kinase inhibitors treatment. This study aimed to systematically compare the two methods in terms of the rate of detected mutations and the associa...
