Meta AnalysisCT and clinical characteristics that predict risk of EGFR mutation in non-small cell lung cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
To systematically analyze CT and clinical characteristics to find out the risk factors of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Then the significant characteristics were used to set up a mathematic model to predict EGFR mutation in NSCLC. ⋯ Based on the current evidence, GGO presence, air bronchogram, pleural retraction, vascular convergence were significant risk factors of EGFR mutation in NSCLC. And the prediction model can help to predict EGFR mutation status.
