* Mutations were identified in 51 patients, with some patients having more than one category of mutation type. The percentages were reported based on this subset of 51 patients, rather than the entire 100-patient population. ** Pre-RT ST was prescribed in 70 patients. The percentages of the pre-RT ST regimen and systemic line number were reported based on this subset of 70 patients, rather than the entire 100-patient population.
