Using supernatant of bronchial washing fluid samples, the detection rate of EGFR mutation was high, and EGFR mutations were detectable even when no tumor cells had been detectable by biopsy or cytology. Supernatant of bronchial washing fluid might be an effective sample source for EGFR mutation testing.
