Background: Biopsies obtained from lung cancers contain a mixture of cancerous and healthy tissues. The mutant-enriched polymerase chain reaction (ME-PCR) identifies low-level somatic DNA mutations within an excess wild-type sample.
Aims: This study aimed at comparing nonenriched PCR (NE-PCR) versus ME-PCR for the detection of two epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations among nonsmall cell lung cancer patients.
