EGFR-TKIs show dramatic treatment benefits for advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients with activating EGFR mutations. Considering the essential role of autophagy in EGFR-TKIs treatments, we hypothesized that genetic variants in autophagy core genes might contribute to outcomes of advanced lung adenocarcinoma treated with gefitinib. We systematically examined 27 potentially functional genetic polymorphisms in 11 autophagy core genes among 108 gefitinib-treated advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients ...[more]
