What Types of Cancers are Associated with EGFR Mutations?
EGFR mutations are predominantly found in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), making up about 10-15% of cases in Caucasian populations and up to 50% in Asian populations. These mutations are also seen in certain types of glioblastoma, and colorectal cancer. In addition, EGFR overexpression or amplification has been documented in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) and some breast cancers.
