TY - JOUR T1 - Nomogram to predict the presence of <em>EGFR</em> activating mutation in lung adenocarcinoma JF - European Respiratory Journal JO - Eur Respir J SP - 1551 LP - 1551 DO - 10.1183/09031936.00042912 VL - 39 IS - 6 AU - Nicolas Girard Y1 - 2012/06/01 UR - http://erj.ersjournals.com/content/39/6/1551.abstract N2 - From the authors:We thank P. Mohapatra and co-workers for their interest in our article. Their comments highlight some of the current challenges in predicting response to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in lung cancer. We built our nomogram to predict the presence of EGFR activating mutations, as these alterations represent the best available predictive biomarker in this setting, at a time when data about tumour response to EGFR TKIs were not available from large cohorts of patients [1]. Once such … ER -
