Abstract
EGFR mutations and ALK gene rearrangement was found to be mutually exclusive. Incidence of EGFR mutations (35.5%) is much higher in Indian population than in Caucasians (13%) and is close to the incidence in East Asian countries. The 7.6% incidence of ALK fusion oncogene in Indian patients establishes the importance of molecular studies to give maximum benefit of targeted therapy to the patients.
