Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation Testing from Pleural Effusions of Patients with Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma in Serbia
High incidence of lung cancer in Serbia is derived from high smoking rates, the lack of a nationwide screening programme, and the presence of environmental risk factors. By histology, adenocarcinoma accounts for approximately 50% of all lung cancer cases, with approximately 60% of new diagnoses already in advanced disease stages, where targeted therapies and immunotherapy are indicated.
