Schematic review of previously published series comparing primary tumor and metastasis or different loci within primary tumor. Tumor type, smoking status, detection methods, mutation tested and metastatic sites are given. PT : primary Tumor, M: metastasis, ADC: adenocarcinoma, SCC: squamous cell carcinoma, ADSQ : adenosquamous carcinoma, LCC: large cell carcinoma mt: mutated, wt : wild type, ARMS: amplification refractory mutation system.
