Since then, several studies have demonstrated that the presence of an EGFR activating mutation identifies a different population of NSCLC patients, with a significantly better prognosis, provided EGFR inhibitors are one of the treatment lines. Thus, testing for such mutations is recommended as part of the initial workup of advanced NSCLC patients. UR - https://cco.amegroups.org/article/view/1302
