Associations between clinical data and computed tomography features in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor mutations in lung adenocarcinoma

ConclusionAs well as gender, smoking history and GGO, adenocarcinomas with EGFR mutation were significantly associated with emphysema, TDR, and the diameter in the mediastinal window. As exon 19 deletion and 21 missense mutations might be predicted by those features, the scoring system might be valuable for clinical diagnosis.
