EP103-32 Prevalence of EGFR and ALK Mutations in Non Small Cell Lung Cancer in Viet Nam National Cancer Hospital

The prospective study of formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues from patients diagnosed with NSCLC was performed to assess the prevalence of EGFR and ALK mutations in NSCLC in Viet Nam National Cancer Hospital. Patients with NSCLC in Viet Nam National Cancer Hospital were prospectively enrolled. FFPE tissue samples were tested for EGFR mutation by PCR and for EML4-ALK translocation by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). In this sudy investigating the prevalence of EGFR and ALK mutations in non small cell lung cancer in Vietnam National Cancer Hospital, 26.2% had EGFR mutation and 10.7% had ALK translocation mutations, as compared to 35% and 6.1%, respectively, in Asian READ ARTICLE
