IDENTIFYING OF EGFR MUTATION AND EML4-ALK FUSION GENE IN NON SMALL CELL LUNG CANCER
Main Article Content
Abstract
Targeted therapy is an effective method for treatment of non small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, not all of patients have good response with targeted drugs. Many previous studies demonstrated the close relationship between EGFR and EML4-ALK rearrangement mutation and the response of targeted drugs with tumor. Objectives: Identifying EGFR and EML4-ALK rearrangement mutations in NSCLC patients by realtime PCR and FISH methods. Methods: 95 NSCLC patients were selected for this study; realtime PCR and FISH methods were used to identify EGFR mutation and EML4-ALK rearrangement mutation Results: 48/95 (50,5%) of NSCLC patients have mutation in exon 19 and 21 of EGFR gene; 6/95 (6,3%) of NSCLC patients have EML4-ALK rearrangement mutation.
