The significance of EGFR targeted therapy in the lung adenocarcinoma is paramount. Several controlled clinical trials have reported considerable survival of EGFR mutation positive patients on receiving the EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI). However, the real-world evidence of benefits of EGFR TKI would be further useful to understand how the designated therapeutic regimen benefits the patients.

In this study, we used the one-pot solvothermal method to synthesize the TiOnanospheres (NSs) and used them for non-volatile memory and neuromorphic computing applications. Several analytical tools were used to understand the structural, optical, morphological, and compositional characteristics of synthesized TiONSs. The tetragonal crystal structure of anatase TiOwas formed, according to the Rietveld refined x-ray diffraction results.

Lung cancer is the world's leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is one of the critical oncogenes and plays a significant role in tumor proliferation and metastasis. Patients with sensitizing mutations in the EGFR gene have better clinical outcomes when treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI).

The speed, accuracy, and increasing affordability of next-generation sequencing (NGS) have revolutionized the advent of precision medicine. To date, standardized validation criteria for diagnostic accreditation do not exist due to variability across the multitude of NGS platforms and within NGS processes. In molecular diagnostics, it is necessary to ensure that the primary material of the FFPE sample has good quality and optimum quantity for the analysis, otherwise the laborious and expensive NGS test may result in unreliable information.
