摘要
Non-small-cell lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in the US despite advances in therapy. The epidermal-growth-factor receptor has been investigated as a target for therapy using EGFR-specific tyrosine kinase inhibitors. This Viewpoint discusses the implications of the correlation of positive responses seen in patients harboringEGFRmutations.
