TL;DR
This study examines the age and smoking habits of lung cancer patients with rare EGFR mutations, finding that most patients are elderly and non-smokers.
Contribution
The study provides demographic insights into NSCLC patients with uncommon EGFR mutations, focusing on age and smoking patterns.
Findings
Most patients with uncommon EGFR mutations were in their 70s.
Non-smokers had a peak age of 70-74, older than the peak among smokers.
A significant correlation was found between smoking index and age among smokers.
Abstract
ABSTRACT Investigation of age and smoking in NSCLC patients with uncommon EGFR mutations Introduction: In addition to the two common epidermal growth factor recep- tor (EGFR) mutations, there are many uncommon mutations. Due to the high number of uncommon types, as well as the rarity of patients, there is lack of information regarding patient demographics, especially age distribution and smoking status. Against this background, we conducted an analysis to clarify the background of patients with uncommon EGFR mutations, especially con- sidering their age distribution and smoking status. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients diagnosed in a multicenter clini- cal practice from 2002 to 2023. Patients included all cases of non-advanced and advanced NSCLC with uncommon EGFR mutations. Results: Information…
