Detection of EGFR gene mutation status from pleural effusions and other body fluid specimens in patients with lung adenocarcinoma

Abstract Background Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation status is essential to the optimal management of lung adenocarcinoma. Liquid biopsy has advantages such as noninvasiveness, speediness, and convenience. This study aimed to detect EGFR gene mutations using next‐generation sequ...
