  1. The significance of frequency was estimated between each cohort. P-values with “ek,” “kw,” or “ew” indicate significant P-values between the EGFR mutation and KRAS mutation cohort, KRAS mutation and wild type cohort, or EGFR mutation and wild type cohort, respectively. Where there is significance between two or three combinations, the results are shown in Fig. 1
