The TP53 gene is mutated in around 50% of cancer cells, but in addition to its role in tumor suppression, cancer cells ...
In advanced NSCLC after chemotherapy progression, plasma-detected SGVs are common, and associated with inferior OS. Plasma SGV status should be considered as a stratification factor in future trials.
