Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common cause of cancer death worldwide. In non-squamous NSCLC, the identification of oncogenic drivers and the development of target-specific molecules led to remarkable progress in therapeutic strategies and overall survival over the last decade. Nevertheless, responses are limited by systematically acquired mechanisms of resistance early on after starting a targeted therapy. Moreover, mounting evidence has demonstrated that each oncogenic-driven cluster is actually heterogeneous in terms of molecular features, clinical behaviour, and sensitivity to targeted therapy. In this review, we aimed to examine the prognostic and predictive significance of oncogene-driven co-mutations, focusing mainly on EGFR and TP53. A narrative review was performed by searching MEDLINE databases for English articles published over the last decade (from January 2012 until November 2022). The bibliographies of key references were manually reviewed to select those eligible for the topic. The genetic landscape of EGFR-mutated NSCLC is more complicated than what is known so far. In particular, the occurrence of TP53 co-mutations stratify patients carrying EGFR mutations in terms of treatment response. The study provides a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying the variability of the genetic landscape of EGFR-mutated NSCLC and summarizes notably the clinical importance of TP53 co-mutations for an open avenue to more properly addressing the clinical decision-making in the near future.

The Role of TP53 Mutations in EGFR-Mutated Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Clinical Significance and Implications for Therapy. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14051143. [PMID: 35267450 PMCID: PMC8909869 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14051143] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2021] [Revised: 01/29/2022] [Accepted: 02/16/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the primary cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Patients carrying Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) mutations usually benefit from targeted therapy treatment. Nonetheless, primary or acquired resistance mechanisms lead to treatment discontinuation and disease progression. Tumor protein 53 (TP53) mutations are the most common mutations in NSCLC, and several reports highlighted a role for these mutations in influencing prognosis and responsiveness to EGFR targeted therapy. In this review, we discuss the emerging data about the role of TP53 in predicting EGFR mutated NSCLC patients’ prognosis and responsiveness to targeted therapy. Abstract Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) is the primary cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Oncogene-addicted patients usually benefit from targeted therapy, but primary and acquired resistance mechanisms inevitably occur. Tumor protein 53 (TP53) gene is the most frequently mutated gene in cancer, including NSCLC. TP53 mutations are able to induce carcinogenesis, tumor development and resistance to therapy, influencing patient prognosis and responsiveness to therapy. TP53 mutants present in different forms, suggesting that different gene alterations confer specific acquired protein functions. In recent years, many associations between different TP53 mutations and responses to Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) targeted therapy in NSCLC patients have been found. In this review, we discuss the current landscape concerning the role of TP53 mutants to guide primary and acquired resistance to Tyrosine-Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) EGFR-directed, investigating the possible mechanisms of TP53 mutants within the cellular compartments. We also discuss the role of the TP53 mutations in predicting the response to targeted therapy with EGFR-TKIs, as a possible biomarker to guide patient stratification for treatment.

Genomic signatures define three subtypes of EGFR-mutant stage II-III non-small-cell lung cancer with distinct adjuvant therapy outcomes. Nat Commun 2021; 12:6450.

Abstract
The ADJUVANT study reported the comparative superiority of adjuvant gefitinib over chemotherapy in disease-free survival of resected EGFR-mutant stage II–IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, not all patients experienced favorable clinical outcomes with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI), raising the necessity for further biomarker assessment. In this work, by comprehensive genomic profiling of 171 tumor tissues from the ADJUVANT trial, five predictive biomarkers are identified (TP53 exon4/5 mutations, RB1 alterations, and copy number gains of NKX2-1, CDK4, and MYC). Then we integrate them into the Multiple-gene INdex to Evaluate the Relative benefit of Various Adjuvant therapies (MINERVA) score, which categorizes patients into three subgroups with relative disease-free survival and overall survival benefits from either adjuvant gefitinib or chemotherapy (Highly TKI-Preferable, TKI-Preferable, and Chemotherapy-Preferable groups). This study demonstrates that predictive genomic signatures could potentially stratify resected EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients and provide precise guidance towards future personalized adjuvant therapy. Adjuvant gefitinib improves outcomes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients compared to chemotherapy, but not in all cases. Here, the authors find genomic biomarkers of response to gefitinib in NSCLC patients from the ADJUVANT trial, and propose a score to stratify them by potential benefit from the treatment.
