Epidermal growth factor receptor somatic mutation analysis in 354 Chinese patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is one of the most common types of cancer worldwide, with the highest mortality rate of all types of cancer. In the present study, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations of 354 primary patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of Chinese ethnicity were detected following formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded specimen DNA extraction, polymerase chain reaction amplification, and sanger sequencing. The total rate of occurrence of EGFR somatic mutation in these 354 patients was 48.02%. Of these detected EGFR mutations, 27.40% were located in exon 19 and 25.99% in exon 21. The most frequent mutation in exon 19 was E746-A750del (8.47%), and in exon 21, L858R (10.17%). EGFR mutation rates were significantly associated with sex [female vs. male: 60.13 vs. 38.81%; adjusted odds ratio (OR), 1.93, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.07-3.51, P=0.029], age (<60 vs. ?60; 58.62 vs. 40.67%; adjusted OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.20-2.92; P=0.006) and histology [adenocarcinoma (ADC) vs. non-ADC; 52.76 vs. 26.56%; adjusted OR, 2.35; 95% CI, 1.28-4.50; P=0.007]. The frequency of E746_A750del, Q787Q and L858R mutations were significantly different in ADC patients compared with squamous cell carcinoma patients (P<0.001). Furthermore, a novel EGFR mutation, M793K, was detected in 7 NSCLC patients with possible gefitinib resistance. The present study analyzed the EGFR exon 18-21 mutation occurrence profile for Chinese patients with NSCLC and identified significant associations between different EGFR mutations with demographic and histological factors. These results may offer clinical benefits and potential novel treatments.

Project description:BackgroundEpidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and BRAF are 2 driver genes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which are normally mutually exclusive. It has been previously reported that the existence of BRAF V600E in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients could cause resistance to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), but the influence of other BRAF actionable mutations on resistance to EGFR-TKIs has not yet been investigated. Understanding the coexistence of EGFR and BRAF actionable mutations in Chinese NSCLC patients may be essential for further treatment and prognostic prediction.MethodsA total of 127 Chinese NSCLC patients harboring EGFR and BRAF co-mutations were enrolled in this study. We analyzed the mutation profiles of these patients through next-generation sequencing (NGS). We explored the associations between somatic mutations and patient characteristics, including tumor stage and age, among others.ResultsThe frequency of EGFR and BRAF co-mutation was 0.91% in Chinese NSCLC patients, compared with 0.97% in Western NSCLC patients (cBioPortal). Among the 127 patients with both EGFR and BRAF mutations, 93 of them harbored clinically significant mutations. The remaining 34 patients were found to have mutations of uncertain significance of either EGFR or BRAF. TP53 was the most frequently mutated gene in BRAF and EGFR co-mutation patients, accounting for around 58% (N=54/93). MET active mutations (amplification and exon 14 skipping) accounted for 12% (N=11/93). Approximately 18% of patients (N=17/93) with significant EGFR mutations were detected to have fusions/rearrangements of the BRAF gene. BRAF fusion was more likely detected in EGFR exon19del patients compared with non-exon19del patients (P value =0.015). In addition, EGFR T790M, the most TKI-resistant mutation, was not found in any patient with BRAF fusion/rearrangement.ConclusionsThis study is the first to show different subtypes of EGFR and BRAF co-mutations in Chinese NSCLC patients. The prognosis of EGFR-TKI treatment may vary according to different BRAF actionable mutations. Aside from BRAF V600E, class II/III and BRAF fusions were found, which provides clues for investigating the resistance mechanisms of EGFR-TKIs in the future.

Project description:BackgroundOsteoblastic bone reaction (OBR) refers to an increase in bone density at the site of bone metastasis or the appearance of new sclerotic bone lesions after anticancer treatment. OBR can be misunderstood as disease progression. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence and details of OBR and its association with clinical outcomes in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with osimertinib.MethodsThis was a single-center, retrospective cohort study. We reviewed patients who were diagnosed with EGFR-mutant NSCLC with bone metastasis and received osimertinib as a first-line treatment between February 2018 and October 2022. The OBR was evaluated by comparing baseline computed tomography (CT) scans with the first CT scan after treatment initiation.ResultsA total of 45 patients were included in this study. Thirty-seven patients (82%) developed OBR. OBR developed in 94% (n = 16) of patients with sclerotic bone lesions (n = 17) at baseline. Similarly, OBR developed in lytic and mixed bone lesions in 76% and 82% of patients with lytic and mixed lesions, respectively. Progression-free survival (PFS) did not differ significantly between patients with (OBR group) and without OBR (non-OBR group) (median PFS, 24 months vs. 17 months; hazard ratio (HR), 0.62; 95% CI, 0.24-1.6; p = 0.31). In univariate analysis, the OBR group showed a trend toward longer skeletal-related events-free survival (SRE-FS) than the non-OBR group (median SRE-FS, 26 months vs. 12 months; HR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.21-1.33; p = 0.16). Multivariate analysis showed OBR was a significant independent predictor of SRE-FS (HR, 0.35; 95% CI, 0.13-0.92; p = 0.034).ConclusionsOBR developed in most patients with NSCLC and bone metastasis who received osimertinib treatment. The increased incidence of OBR in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC with bone metastasis treated with osimertinib should not be confused with disease progression, and treatment decisions should be made carefully.
