RESUMO
Objective:To study the relevance ofEGFR gene mutation with pathological features and prognosis in patients with non-small-cell lung carcinoma.Methods: A total of 297 patients from July 2009 to May 2013 were chosen as objects.EGFRgene mutation were detected with fluorescence quantitative PCR. Relevance ofEGFR gene mutation with clinical and pathological features was analyzed, and the prognosis of EGFR- mutant-patients and that of EGFR- wide type-patients was compared.Results:In 297 patients, 136 (45.79%) showed EGFR gene mutation.EGFR gene mutation had no significant relevance with age, gender, smoking history, family history of cancer and clinical stage (P>0.05); there was significant relevance betweenEGFR gene mutation and blood type, pathologic types, differentiation and diameter of cancer (P<0.05). The difference between prognosis of EGFR- mutant-patients and that of EGFR- wide type-patients was statistical significance (P<0.05).Conclusions:EGFR gene mutation has significant relevance with pathological features, the prognosis of EGFR- mutant-patients is better than that of EGFR- wide type-patients.
