Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is a receptor tyrosine kinase identified as being highly expressed in cancer cells including lung cancers. The aim of the study is to determine the EGFR mutation status in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients to investigate the association between the EGFR mutation status and clinicopathological characters of patients %K Lung cancer %K EGFR %K Immunohistochemistry %K Non-small cell lung carcinomas %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6279455/
