表皮生长因子受体(epidermal growth factor receptor, EGFR)敏感性突变是EGFR酪氨酸激酶抑制剂(tyrosine kinase inhibitors, TKIs)的有效预测因子。85%-90%敏感性突变发生于19缺失突变及21外显子L858R突变。常见 EGFR敏感性突变患者EGFR-TKIs治疗的客观缓解率(objective response rate, ORR)和无病进展生存时间(progression-free survival, PFS)显著延长,可分别达70%-80%和9个月-14个月。但EGFR-TKIs对于 EGFR少见突变(uncommon mutations)的疗效尚不明确。本研究旨在探讨 EGFR少见突变的临床病理特征及EGFR-TKIs治疗的远近期疗效。
Epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR) mutations occur more frequently in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) of women, never smokers, Asian population and those with adenocarcinoma. Short in-frame deletion in exon 19 and L858R substitution are the most common mutations, which are closely associated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) treatment response. However, the therapeutic effects of EGFR-TKIs on NSCLC with uncommon EGFR mutation subtypes remain unclear. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinicopathologic feature of uncommon EGFR mutations and the outcomes of these patients.
Twenty-four patients that harbored uncommon EGFR mutations were included in this study. Clinicopathologic features of uncommon EGFR mutations and the outcomes of these patients were analyzed.
