Background: We sought to investigate the associations between pretreatment serum Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, F-18-Fluoro-2-deoxyglucose (F-18-FDG) uptake value of primary tumor and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods: We retrospectively reviewed medical records of 210 NSCLC patients who underwent EGFR mutation test and F-18-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan before antitumor therapy. The associations between EGFR mutations and patients' characteristics, serum CEA, PET/CT imaging characteristics maximal standard uptake value (SUVmax) of the primary tumor were analyzed. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to assess the predictive value of these factors.Results: EGFR mutations were found in 70 patients (33.3%). EGFR mutations were more common in high CEA group (CEA >= 7.0 ng/mL) than in low CEA group (CEA < 7.0 ng/mL) (40.4% vs. 27.6%; P=0.05). Females (P
