Molecular genetic studies on EGFR KRAS BRAF ALK PIK3CA PDGFRA and DDR2 in primary pulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma

摘要

BackgroundPulmonary adenoid cystic carcinoma (PACC) is an uncommon neoplasm of the lung but represents the predominant type of salivary gland-type lung carcinoma. Only a few studies have focused on the genetic events associated with PACC. The aim of this study was to characterize the genetic events associated with PACC.
