Cell Behavior of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Is at EGFR and MicroRNAs Hands

Lung cancer is a complex disease associated with gene mutations, particularly mutations of Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog (<i>KRAS</i>) and epidermal growth factor receptor (<i>EGFR</i>). Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) are the...
