Plasma cell-free DNA methylation profile before afatinib treatment is associated with progression-free and overall survival of patients with epidermal growth factor receptor gene mutation-positive non-small cell lung cancer
The non-invasively measurable cfDNA methylation profile may reflect the corresponding profile in cancer cells, and that pre-treatment measurement may provide clinically useful information on EGFR mutation-positive NSCLC.
