Epidemiology
Lung cancer has become the leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide, seriously threatening human health. Non-small cell lung cancer accounts for about 80% of lung cancer patients. EGFR is currently the most important molecular target for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. The phosphorylation of EGFR can promote tumor cell growth, differentiation, invasion, metastasis, anti-apoptosis, and promote tumor angiogenesis. This kit is only used for the detection of common mutations in the EGFR gene in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. The test results are for clinical reference only and should not be used as the sole basis for individualized treatment of patients. Clinicians should consider the patient's condition, drug indications, and treatment The reaction and other laboratory test indicators and other factors are used to comprehensively judge the test results.
Specimen Type - fresh tumor tissue, frozen pathological section, paraffin-embedded pathological tissue or section, plasma or serum
