Abstract:
The present invention relates to mutations in Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) and methods of detecting such mutations as well as prognostic methods method for identifying a tumors that are susceptible to anticancer therapy such as chemotherapy and/or kinase inhibitor treatment. The methods involve determining the presence of a mutated EGFR gene or mutated EGFR protein in a tumor sample whereby the presence of a mutated EGFR gene or protein indicates the tumor is susceptible to treatment.

Nucleotide and amino acid variations associated with tumors are provided. Methods for detecting variations and for diagnosing and treating tumors are provided.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns somatic ErbB3 mutations in cancer including methods of identifying, diagnosing, and prognosing ErbB3 cancers, as well as methods of treating cancer, including certain subpopulations of patients.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to somatic ErbB2 mutations in cancer and provides methods of identifying, diagnosing, and prognosing ErbB2-positive cancers. The present disclosure further provides methods of treating cancer, including certain subpopulations of patients. The mutations are in the transmembrane domain or juxtamembrane domain of ErbB2.
