Increased EGFR mRNA Expression Levels in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Objective In this study, we investigated the frequency of Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations, the level of EGFR mRNA and protein expressions in Turkish population for indicating substantial differences in the frequency of EGFR mutations, EGFR amplification and EGFR protein expression between populations and the effect of these parameters in response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
