This meta-analysis indicated that serum CEA expression was associated with EGFR mutations in NSCLC patients. The results of this study suggest that CEA level may play a predictive role in the EGFR mutation status of NSCLC patients. Detecting serum CEA expression levels can give a good suggestion to those patients who are confused about whether to undergo EGFR mutation tests. Moreover, it may help better plan of the follow-up treatment.
