Prognostic value of EGFR 19-del and 21-L858R mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract:

:Previous studies have demonstrated a significant difference in clinical characteristics between patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring exon 19 deletion (19-del) and an exon point mutation (21-L858R) in EGFR. The present retrospective study aimed to investigate the differential prognosis in patients with NSCLC harboring exon 19-del and 21-L858R mutations. The clinical and follow-up data of 137 patients treated at the Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University (Wuhan, Hubei, China) between August 2012 and August 2016, who were diagnosed with stage IIIB-IV NSCLC harboring either exon 19-del or 21-L858R mutations, were analyzed. The patients were divided into the first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), first-line chemotherapy and second-line TKI treatment groups. The median progression-free survival (PFS) time of patients harboring the exon 19-del mutation was significantly improved compared with that in patients harboring the 21-L858R mutation (11.3 vs. 8.8 months, respectively; P=0.017) following first-line TKI treatments. However, no significant difference in the median PFS time was observed between the exon 19-del and 21-L858R groups following the first-line chemotherapy or second-line TKI treatment. In patients with the exon 19-del, first-line TKI treatment achieved an increased objective response rate (ORR; 51.9 vs. 18.5%; P=0.004) and disease control rate (96.2 vs. 77.8%; P=0.030), and a longer PFS time (11.3 vs. 8.0 months; P=0.034) compared with that in the patients following first-line chemotherapy. First- and second-line TKI treatment achieved a similar PFS time (11.3 vs. 11.0 months, respectively; P=0.140). However, in patients with the 21-L858R mutation, the first-line TKI therapy and first-line chemotherapy groups exhibited a similar PFS time (8.8 vs. 3.5 months, respectively; P=0.063), while the second-line TKI treatment group exhibited a significantly longer PFS time compared with the first-line TKI treatment group (13.6 vs. 8.8 months, respectively; P=0.030). There was a differential sensitivity to treatment between patients harboring the exon 19-del and 21-L858R mutations. Therefore, chemotherapy may increase the sensitivity to TKIs in patients harboring the 21-L858R mutation.
