The present study aimed to assess the impact of smoking and sex for the risk of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with or without epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. We conducted a case-control study using 152 patients with EGFR-mutated (EGFR(mut)) NSCLC, 283 with EGFR-wild-type (EGFR(wt)) NSCLC and 2175 age- and sex-frequency-matched controls. Smoking was a significant risk factor for EGFR(wt) NSCLC (odds ratio [OR] for ever-smokers, 4.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.79-5.88) but not for EGFR(mut) NSCLC (OR, 0.73; CI, 0.46-1.14). Sex did not affect this association. The association was observed consistently with other smoking-related parameters including pack-years. Sex was the sole risk factor for EGFR(mut) NSCLC (OR for women relative to men, 2.19; CI, 1.41-3.39) and there was no significant interaction between women and smoking. In contrast, sex, smoking and their interaction were significant in EGFR(wt) NSCLC. The impact of sex on EGFR mutation status was assessed by several indicators of reproductive history among women. Total fertile years showed a significant positive association with EGFR(mut) NSCLC but not with EGFR(wt) NSCLC. Other indicators showed similar trends and this result may partly explain the sexual difference in the acquisition of EGFR mutation. In conclusion, our case-control study clearly demonstrated that the impacts of smoking and sex on the risk of EGFR(mut) NSCLC are different from those for EGFR(wt) NSCLC. Further epidemiological evaluation is warranted.
