Diagnosis: is the process of determining which disease or condition explains a person's symptoms and signs. It is most often referred to as diagnosis with the medical context being implicit.
Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) and the known Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene (KRAS) are significant drivers in the development of non-small-cell lung cancer...
