Real-world evidence of the intrinsic limitations of PCR-based EGFR mutation assay in non-small cell lung cancer

Abstract Detection of driver gene mutations is important in advanced NSCLC. The cobas EGFR mutation test is a mutant allele-specific real-time PCR assay with limitation owing to its primer design. Next-generation sequencing-based assay has a higher mutation detection coverage; however, its clinical...
