Abstract EN
Recently we read with great interest the paper by Wang et al.
[1].
The authors conducted a meta-analysis of 13 studies containing 7328 cases and 8455 controls to estimate the association of R521K polymorphism in EGFR gene with risk of cancer.
This meta-analysis suggested that the EGFR R521K polymorphism is not associated with risk of cancer except a statistical difference between A and G allele frequencies in gastric cancer.
It is a valuable study.
Nevertheless, we would like to raise several concerns related to this article.
