To date, lung cancer is one of the most well-understood cancers in terms of molecular mechanisms, with high incidence and mortality rates in the population. Detecting lung cancer-related gene mutations plays a vital role in offering targeted therapy, thereby improving the progression-free survival and overall survival rates of patients. This study aims to identify some clinical features and factors related to non-small cell lung cancer and detect some types of gene mutations related to non-small cell lung cancer by new-generation sequencing techniques on biopsy tissue samples of patients. 40 patients with non-small cell lung cancer who were tested to detect gene mutations in biopsy tissue samples by next-generation sequencing. Results showed the majority of patients were male (70%), over 60 years old (65%), in the late stage (100%), and have not received any treatment (85%). 26/40 patients have detected mutations, in which mutations are most frequently in EGFR (27.5%) and KRAS (20.0%), followed by ALK (12.5%), BRAF (5.0%), did not detect mutations on NRAS, ROS1, and PIK3CA. The rate of mutations related to the target drug susceptibility was quite high, no resistant mutants were detected.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
