Different subtypes of EGFR exon19 mutation can affect prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma

Abstract: AimsIn this study, we determined whether different subtypes of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon19 mutation are associated with the therapeutic effect of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) on advanced non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma. MethodsA total of 122 patients with stage III or IV non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical characteristics of these patients, including progression-free survival (PFS) outcome for EGFR-TKI treatment, were analyzed. ResultsAccor… Show more

“…Since, EGFR p.T790M is still the most common mechanism of resistance to afatinib, similar to reversible EGFR TKI, a comparison of patients´prognosis and form of disease upon basis of the mutational profile should be made. Previously, patients were shown to have a better prognosis and more indolent form of disease progression upon the presence of an EGFR exon 19 deletion [31][32][33][34]. Matsuo and co-workers investigated whether there was an association of the (primary) EGFR driver mutation with the occurrence and frequency of EGFR p.T790M and the period of response to EGFR TKI.…”

“…Recent clinical and laboratory findings-including those presented here-have shown that different EGFR exon 19 variants exhibit different inhibitor sensitivities 9,10,[12][13][14]16,17,19,[21][22][23]25,55 , arguing that they should not be treated as a single group in clinical decision making. Moreover, exon 19 variants can be associated with inhibitor responses that differ from those of other common EGFR mutations found in lung adenocarcinoma 32,38,55,56 .…”

“…1b) -which accounts for 75% in this database-has led current clinical recommendations to consider them all as a single group. Numerous studies have reported differential sensitivity of individual EGFR exon 19 variants to EGFR TKIs in clinical settings, however [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] . For example, in a cohort of 202 patients with tumors harboring various exon 19 deletions, uncommon deletion variants were associated with significantly worse survival than the common ΔE746-A750 mutation with the first generation TKI gefitinib 24 .…”

“…After regression analysis of the mutant patients, each exon mutation failed to associate with clinical or pathological features. In addition to the characteristics of the subtypes of EGFR mutations, different subtypes of EGFR mutations and expression of TTF-1 and Napsin A showed different levels of prognosis (27)(28)(29). The variable results may be due to the heterogeneity of EGFR mutations and relatively small samples with complex genetic background, demonstrating that the different mechanisms lead to a variety of EGFR mutations (26,30).…”
