The presence of activating epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in patients with lung cancer correlates to improved response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Here, the authors present a fluorescence-activated cell sorting assay to identify EGFR mutations with functional activity in patients and demonstrate its utility in predicting response to EGFR-TKI.
