Abstract

The co-expression of HER2 and EGFR L858R in a solitary nodule removed from the lung, whose mutation was not confirmed by molecular techniques, made us think about the possible existence of a cross-reaction between HER2 and the EGFR L858R-specific antibody. Our study was […]

Introducción:

Las mutaciones en el receptor del factor de crecimiento epidérmico (EGFR) se correlacionan con respuesta a inhibidores del dominio tirosina cinasa (TKIs) y aumento de la supervivencia. La necesidad de establecer con exactitud el estado mutacional de EGFR y el hecho de que en la gran mayoría de casos de cáncer […]
