Table 4. Concordance between the EGFR mutation status in tissue and plasma samples in advanced or metastatic NSCLC TKI-naïve patients.

Tissue Sample
EGFR mutation (n=23) EGFR wild-type (n=81)
cfDNA
   EGFR mutation (n=18) 18 0
   EGFR wild-type (n=86) 5 81
Sensitivity (95%, CI), % 78.3 (89.2–97.9)
Specificity (95%, CI), % 100 (95.5–100)
PPV (95%, CI), % 100 (82.4–100)
NPV (95%, CI), % 94.2 (87.1–97.5)
Overall concordance (95%, CI), % 95.2 (89.2–97.9)

n, sample size; cfDNA, circulating-free DNA; EGFR, epdermal growth factor receptor; NPV, negative predictive value; PPV, positive predictive value.
