Assessment of EGFR mutation status in Tunisian patients with pulmonary adenocarcinoma

Frequency of EGFR mutations in pulmonary adenocarcinomas of our series is similar to that found in the European ones with some particularities. The mutations detected are uncommon. Whereas, we found a high frequency of positive ALK expression in our series compared to frequency reported in literature. Further studies with larger Tunisian series are required to obtain more conclusive results.
