Abstract
Patients in Martinique, and specifically those of African descent, show very high levels of EGFR mutation as opposed to what can be found in mainland France or in African Americans. These findings may be ascribed to low tobacco consumption as well as to genetic factors. Systematic screening in patients of African Caribbean origin should be prescribed.
