Epidemiologic studies have evaluated the association between KRAS mutations and resistance to the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine-kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, results were inconclusive. To derive a more precise estimation of the relationship, we performed this meta-analysis. Systematic computerized searches of the PubMed and Medline databases (up to Jun 30, 2009) were performed. A total of 22 studies were included...
