Description
90 NSCLC patients with stage IIIB/IV chemotherapy-resistant tumors were treated with gefitinib, and exon 19 deletion of EGFR was associated with longer time to treatment failure than those with wild-type EGFR (median 8.9 versus 2.1). In multivariate analysis, exon 19 deletion was a significant predictive factor for TTF (HR = 0.0320; P < .0001).
