When we list the infections brought to the New World from the Old, however, we find most of humanity's worst afflictions, among them smallpox, malaria, yellow fever, measles, cholera, typhoid, and bubonic plague. continued.
The present study was carried out to detect the prevalence of EGFR mutations and EML4-ALK fusions in EGFR mutation-negative cases of NSCLC (adenocarcinoma) as well as to evaluate the clinical characteristics of EGFR mutations and EML4-ALK fusions in EGFR mutation-negative cases of NSCLC.
Mutations in either the EGFR or KRAS gene lead to the production of a protein that is constantly turned on (constitutively activated). As a result, cells are signaled to constantly proliferate, leading to tumor formation. When these gene changes occur in cells in the lungs, lung cancer develops.
