So far, there has been little research on the role of naturally occurring EGFR subtypes, and few studies have shown that other subtypes (such as secreted EGFR or sEGFR) are secreted in the plasma and may be prognostic for lung and cervical cancer (Halle et al., 2011; Lococo et al., 2015; Romero-Ventosa et al., 2015). Here, EGFR is linked to cervical carcinoma.
