related with never-smoker, women, adenocarcinoma and Asians (Kosaka et al., 2004;Shigematsu et al., 2005;Mitsudomi et al., 2006). Therefore it might demonstrate the role of histology, sex, lifestyle and ethnicity as variables associated with EGFR mutation. To our knowledge, however, there is only one study that focused on EGFR mutation in men and smokers (D'Angelo et al., 2011). Of great interest, they concluded that a large number of EGFR mutations are found in adenocarcinoma tumor specimen from men and people who smoked Masaki Tomita*, Takanori Ayabe, Eiichi Chosa, Katsuya Kawagoe, Kunihide Nakamura cigarettes. In the present study, we focused on the men with adenocarcinoma patients, and we examined the relationship between EGFR mutation and clinical characteristics.
