Epidermal growth factor receptor mutations in East European non-small cell lung cancer patients

Conclusions Our data show that the overall frequency of EGFR gene mutations in lung adenocarcinomas in the East European cohort studied is within the range of that observed in North American and West European populations, but that its frequency in squamous cell carcinomas is higher than that in any population reported to date. All specimens appeared to be suitable for EGFR gene mutation analysis, irrespective nature or origin.
