Understanding EGFR Somatic Mutation (Exon 18-21) Analysis

EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor) is a protein in cells that helps them grow. The EGFR Mutation Test is a real-time PCR test that identifies mutations in exons 18, 19, 20, and 21 of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene, including the T790M resistance mutation. Most NSCLC & Colon cancer patients with mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain(exon 18‐21) of the EGFR gene may respond to anti‐EGFR therapies. The choice of a particular EGFR inhibitor depends on your oncologist’s preference, depending on...
