Survival and prognostic factors in non-small cell lung cancer patients with mutation of the EGFR gene treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors in a peruvian hospital.

The identification of the epidermal growth factor mutation (EGFR) is a positive prognostic factor for survival and therapeutic response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). TKIs are considered first line treatment in Patients with stages IIIB and IV NSCLC.
