City scale related to epidermal growth factor receptor mutations status in Chinese non-small cell lung cancer
Although there is a correlation between the size of a city and the rates of EGFR mutations in Chinese NSCLC patients, city scale does not independently predict these mutation rates. Instead, the variations in EGFR mutation rates could be indirectly related to different levels of urbanization, which may influence smoking behaviors among the populations.
