OBJECTIVES: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is a robust prognostic factor in patients with lung adenocarcinoma (ADC). However, the role of EGFR mutation status as a recurrence-risk factor remains unknown because the presence of such mutations is associated with other background characteristics. We therefore conducted a matched-pair analysis to compare recurrence-free survival (RFS) in matched...
