Somatic Mutation Spectrum of Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer in African Americans: A Pooled Analysis
The mutational profile of non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has become an important tool in tailoring therapy to patients, with clear differences according to the population of origin. African Americans (AAs) have higher lung cancer incidence and mortality than Caucasians, yet discrepant results have been reported regarding the frequency of somatic driver mutations. We hypothesized that NSCLC has a distinct mutational profile in this group.
