Abstract
EGFR is an important therapeutic target in lung adenocarcinoma.4 Oral tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) can be used in patients with driver mutations in EGFR.5 EGFR mutations were observed in ~1015% of NSCLC patients in Western populations and up to 50% in Asian populations.6,7 In a previous study, the EGFR mutation rate in adenocarcinomas was 33.9% for women and 9.4% for men in 499 cases, and the overall mutation rate was 14%.8 Also, EGFR mutations are more frequently detected in female patients and non-smokers.9
