NAACCR XML: Tumor.egfrMutationalAnalysis
Description
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutational analysis is performed for patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) to identify patients with certain activating mutations in the EGFR gene which are sensitive to tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
Rationale
EGFR mutational analysis is recommended by treatment guidelines for patients with advanced lung cancer as a prognostic marker and factor in determining appropriate therapy. It is a new data item for cases diagnosed 01/01/2021+.
