[PMID: 39000058 PMCID: PMC11241057 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25136949] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2024] [Revised: 06/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/22/2024] [Indexed: 07/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Despite the widespread application of next-generation sequencing (NGS) in advanced lung adenocarcinoma, its impact on survival and the optimal timing for the examination remain uncertain. This cohort study included advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients who underwent NGS testing. We categorized patients into four groups: Group 1: treatment-naïve, upfront NGS; Group 2: Treatment-naïve, exclusionary EGFR/ALK/ROS1; Group 3: post-treatment, no known EGFR/ALK/ROS1; Group 4: known driver mutation and post-TKI treatment. A total of 424 patients were included. There were 128, 126, 90, and 80 patients in Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. In Groups 1, 2, 3, and 4, targetable mutations were identified in 76.6%, 49.2%, 41.1%, and 33.3% of the patients, respectively (p < 0.001). Mutation-targeted treatments were applied in 68.0%, 15.1%, 27.8%, and 22.5% of the patients, respectively (p < 0.001). In the overall population, patients receiving mutation-targeted treatments exhibited significantly longer overall survival (OS) (aHR 0.54 [95% CI 0.37-0.79], p = 0.001). The most profound benefit was seen in the Group 1 patients (not reached vs. 40.4 months, p = 0.028). The median OS of patients with mutation-targeted treatments was also significantly longer among Group 2 patients. The median post-NGS survival of patients receiving mutation-targeted treatments was numerically longer in Group 3 and Group 4 patients. In conclusion, mutation-targeted therapy is associated with a favorable outcome. However, the opportunities of NGS-directed treatment and the survival benefits of mutation-targeted treatment were various among different populations.

[PMID: 38818368 PMCID: PMC11137794 DOI: 10.2217/lmt-2023-0014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 01/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/01/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim: The tumor microenvironment of NSCLC with driver mutations, such as EGFR, ALK and ROS, is less inflammatory. Materials & methods: This retrospective study included 38 patients with NSCLC driver mutations. The relationship between clinical and inflammatory markers concerning progression-free survival and overall survival was analyzed based on Kaplan-Meier curves. Results: The mean age of the patients was 59.8 ± 11.9. Progression-free survival and overall survival were significantly longer in patients under 65 years of age and with low neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, low systemic immune-inflammation index and high lymphocyte count (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Unlike tumor biology, peripheral inflammatory parameters, such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, systemic immune-inflammation index and lymphocyte count may be associated with survival in NSCLC patients with driver mutations.

The association of chest computed tomography-defined visual emphysema and prognosis in patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer. ERJ Open Res 2023; 9:00195-2023. [PMID: 38020560 PMCID: PMC10658642 DOI: 10.1183/23120541.00195-2023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/27/2023] [Accepted: 08/25/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
Background Although computed tomography (CT)-defined emphysema is considered a predictor of lung cancer risk, it is not fully clear whether CT-defined emphysema is associated with the prognosis of lung cancer. We aimed to assess the clinical impact of CT-defined emphysema on the survival of lung cancer. Methods In the prospective cohort study of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the correlation between CT-defined emphysema and clinical variables was analysed. A multivariable Cox regression model was built to assess the association between CT-defined emphysema and overall survival (OS) for up to 8.8 years. The differences in survival analyses were derived by Kaplan-Meier analysis and log-rank testing. Low attenuation area (LAA%) was defined as the per cent of voxels below -950 HU. Results 854 patients were included and CT-defined emphysema was present in 300 (35.1%) at diagnosis. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) wild-type (OR 1.998; p<0.001) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) wild-type (OR 2.277; p=0.004) were associated with CT-defined emphysema. CT-defined emphysema remained a significant predictor of prognosis adjusting for age, sex, smoking history, tumour histology and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS), whether in I-IIIA stage (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 1.745; p=0.017) or in IIIB-IV stage (adjusted HR 1.291; p=0.022). Stratified analyses showed that OS rate among the driver oncogene groups with different CT-defined emphysema status differed significantly (log-rank p<0.001). Furthermore, patients with centrilobular emphysema (CLE) with LAA% >17% displayed poorer survival than those with LAA% ≤17% (median 432 versus 670 days; HR 1.564; p=0.020). Conclusions CT-defined emphysema, especially CLE with LAA%>17%, is an independent predictor of NSCLC prognosis. Moreover, prospective studies are needed to further explore this association.

Liu Q, Huang Q, Yu Z, Wu H. Clinical characteristics of non-small cell lung cancer patients with EGFR mutations and ALK&ROS1 fusions. THE CLINICAL RESPIRATORY JOURNAL 2022; 16:216-225. [PMID: 35081265 PMCID: PMC9060101 DOI: 10.1111/crj.13472] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2021] [Revised: 11/02/2021] [Accepted: 12/25/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the relationship between clinical characteristics and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusions, c-ros oncogene 1, receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1) gene fusions, and epidermic growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients to distinguish these different types. METHODS Both ALK, ROS1 gene rearrangements and EGFR mutations testing were performed. The clinical characteristics and associated pulmonary abnormalities were investigated. RESULTS Four hundred fifty-three NSCLC patients were included for analysis. One hundred seventy (37.5%), 32 (7.1%), and 9 cases (2.0%) with EGFR mutations, ALK gene fusions, and ROS1 gene fusions were identified, respectively. The EGFR-positive and ALK&ROS1-positive were more common in female (χ2 = 61.934, P < 0.001 and χ2 = 28.152, P < 0.001), non-smoking (χ2 = 59.315, P < 0.001 and χ2 = 11.080, P = 0.001), and adenocarcinoma (χ2 = 44.864, P < 0.001 and χ2 = 12.318, P = 0.002) patients; proportion of patients with emphysema was lower (χ2 = 35.494, P < 0.001 and χ2 = 15.770, P < 0.001) than the wild-type patients. The results of logistic regression analysis indicated that female (adjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.834, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.069-3.144, P = 0.028), non-smoking (adjusted OR 2.504, 95% CI 1.456-4.306, P = 0.001), lung adenocarcinoma (adjusted OR 4.512, 95% CI 2.465-8.260, P < 0.001), stage III-IV (adjusted OR 2.232, 95% CI 1.066-4.676, P = 0.033), and no symptoms of emphysema (adjusted OR 2.139, 95% CI 1.221-3.747, P = 0.008) were independent variables associated with EGFR mutations. Young (adjusted OR 3.947, 95% CI 1.873-8.314, P < 0.001) and lung adenocarcinoma (adjusted OR 2.950, 95% CI 0.998-8.719, P = 0.050) were associated with ALK/ROS1 fusions. CONCLUSIONS EGFR mutations were more likely to occur in non-smoking, stage III-IV, and female patients with lung adenocarcinoma, whereas ALK&ROS1 gene fusions were more likely to occur in young patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Emphysema was less common in patients with EGFR mutations.
