- Abstract
Background: The presence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in gefitinib-naive lung cancer patients has been reported to be higher in females, in non-smokers, in Japanese, and in adenocarcinoma patients, especially in bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC). To further investigate the prevalence of EGFR mutations in relation to pathological factors, we evaluated EGFR mutations in series of Japanese adenocarcinoma patients who had never been treated with gefitinib.
