  1. *Any of the three mutations detected in primary tumour or metastatic tissue.
  2. # In a few cases DNA was not available for testing of all three mutations.
  3. Response and disease control rates calculated by chi-square test.
  4. Progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) calculated by log-rank test.
