## Abstract Lung adenocarcinomas often metastasize to the brain, and the prognosis of patients with brain metastases is still very poor. The __epidermal growth factor receptor__ (__EGFR__) gene is mutated in a considerable fraction of primary lung adenocarcinomas, in particular those with drastic r
## Abstract Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations were reported in different cancers. However, the nature and role of mtDNA mutation in neverβsmoker lung cancer patients including patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (__EGFR__) and __KRAS__ gene mutation are unknown. In the present study, w
