KPS indicates Karnofsky performance status; EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor.
EGFR staining intensity guidelines: 1+, a faint/barely perceptible membrane staining is detected in more than 10% of the tumor cells; 2+, a weak to moderate membrane staining is present, completely surrounding the cells in more than 10% of the tumor cells; 3+, a strong complete membrane staining is observed in more than 10% of the tumor cells.
