Association between squamous cell carcinoma antigen level and EGFR mutation status in Chinese lung adenocarcinoma patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the association between squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCAg) level and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in Chinese lung adenocarcinoma patients.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 293 patients with lung adenocarcinoma, divided into EGFR mutant group (n = 178) and EGFR wild-type group (n = 115). The general data and laboratory parameters of the two groups were compared. We used univariable and multivariable logistic regression to analyze the association between SCCAg level and EGFR mutation. Generalized additive model was used for curve fitting, and a hierarchical binary logistic regression model was used for interaction analysis.

Results

Squamous cell carcinoma antigen level in the EGFR wild-type group was significa
