NON-SMALL-CELL LUNG CANCER
Conditions
Brief summary
The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate associations between EGFR and AKT DNA-polymorphisms involved in transcriptional regulation and overall survival in NSCLC patients treated with EGFR-TKIs.
Detailed description
DNA will be isolated from blood samples or paraffin-embedded tumor specimens and than a mutation analysis and SNPs genotyping will be done.
