Characteristics Negative EGFR mutation, n [%] Positive EGFR mutation, n [%] Total, n OR (P value) 95% CI
Family history of any cancer 5.9 (<0.001) 3.3-10.6
  Yes 28 [33] 57 [67] 85
  No 120 [75] 41 [25] 161
Family history of lung cancer 7.5 (<0.001) 3.4-16.3
  Yes 11 [28] 28 [72] 39
  No 120 [75] 41 [25] 161
Family history of non-pulmonary cancer 5.0 (<0.001) 2.5-10.0
  Yes 17 [37] 29 [63] 46
  No 120 [75] 41 [25] 161

EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor; NSCLC, non-small cell lung cancer; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; n, number of patients; No, no family history of cancer.
