Diagnostic sub-classification of non-small cell lung cancer: Importance in clinical therapeutics and prognostication

M. J. Donovan, A. Kotsianti, A. Colomer, M. Verdú, M. Clayton, H. Pang, S. Hamann, C. Cordón-Cardó, X. Puig.

Background: The association of EGFR mutations with bronchoalveolar carcinoma (BAC) / non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the therapeutic and prognostic variability reported for lung cancer has reinforced the need for more accurate NSCLC sub-classification. The present […]
