Cytology-based gene mutation tests to predict response to anti-epidermal growth factor receptor therapy: a review.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Homeobox transcription factors have demonstrated utility in diagnosing neuroendocrine tumors. Orthopedia homeobox protein (OTP) has a well-defined role in embryonic neurodevelopment and has also been described as a prognostic marker in lung neuroendocrine tumors (NET). Additionally, NK6 homeobox-1 (NKX6.1) h...
