Abstract
Background Programmed death-ligand (PD-L1) expression serves as a predictive biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) sensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Nevertheless, the development of biomarkers that reliably predict ICI response remains an ongoing endeavor due to imperfections in existing methodologies. Objectives ICIs have led to a new paradigm in the treatment of NSCLC. The current companion PD-L1 diagnostics are insufficient in predicting ICI response. Therefore, we sought whether the Olink platform could be applied to predict response to ICIs in NSCLC. Design We collected blood samples from patients with NSCLC before ICI treatment and retrospectively analyzed proteomes based on their response to ICI. Methods Overall, 76 NSCLC patients' samples were analyzed. Proteomic plasma analysis was performed using the Olink platform. Intraplate reproducibility, validation, and statistical analyses using elastic net regression and generalized linear models with clinical parameters were evaluated. Results Intraplate coefficient of variation (CV) assays ranged from 3% to 6%, and the interplate CV was 14%. In addition, the Pearson correlation coefficient of the Olink Normalized Protein eXpression data was validated. No statistical differences were observed in the analyses of progressive disease and response to ICIs. Furthermore, no single proteome showed prognostic value in terms of progression-free survival. Conclusion In this study, the proximity extension assay-based approach of the Olink panel could not predict the patient's response to ICIs. Our proteomic analysis failed to achieve predictive value in both response or progression to ICIs and progression-free survival (PFS).

J Clin Nurs 2024; 33:1409-1420. [PMID: 37908060 DOI: 10.1111/jocn.16922] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 10/17/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023]
Abstract
AIMS To investigate the trajectory, influencing factors and dynamic relationships between fear of cancer recurrence (FCR) and quality of life (QOL) in lung cancer patients. DESIGN Prospective longitudinal study. METHODS Longitudinal data from 310 lung cancer patients across three hospitals in China were assessed at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively (T1 -T4 ). Descriptive statistics characterised patient demographics, clinical characteristics, levels of FCR and QOL. A linear mixed-effects model was employed to analyse FCR trajectories, identify influencing factors on these trajectories, and predict the impact of FCR on QOL. RESULTS FCR changed significantly over time, with a slight decrease during T1 -T2 , an increase at T3 and gradual decline at T4 . Higher fear levels were associated with female sex, suburban or rural residency, being a family breadwinner, presence of comorbidities and negative coping behaviours, and low family resilience. QOL negatively correlated with FCR, and FCR predicted lower QOL. CONCLUSIONS At 3 and 6 months postoperatively, lung cancer patients, especially women, suburban or rural residents, family breadwinners, those with comorbidities, negative coping behaviours and low family resilience, reported high levels of FCR. Healthcare providers should pay special attention to lung cancer patients especially during the period of 3-6 months post-surgery and offer tailored interventions to improve their QOL. IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND PATIENT CARE Understanding the FCR trajectories, its influencing factors and its negative impacts on QOL can guide the development of targeted interventions to reduce fear and enhance well-being in patients with cancer. IMPACT Identifying the trajectories and influencing factors of fear of lung cancer recurrence in patients at different time points informs future research on targeted interventions to improve QOL. REPORTING METHOD The study adhered to the guidelines outlined in the Statement on Reporting Observational Longitudinal Research.

Association of decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate with lung cancer risk in the Korean population. Epidemiol Health 2024; 46:e2024041. [PMID: 38549355 PMCID: PMC11369561 DOI: 10.4178/epih.e2024041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Accepted: 02/26/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Inconsistent results are available regarding the association between low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and lung cancer risk. We aimed to explore the risk of lung cancer according to eGFR category in the Korean population. METHODS We included 358,293 adults who underwent health checkups between 2009 and 2010, utilizing data from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort. Participants were categorized into 3 groups based on their baseline eGFR, as determined using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation: group 1 (eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2), group 2 (eGFR ≥60 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m2), and group 3 (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2). Incidences of lung cancer were identified using the corresponding codes from the International Classification of Diseases, 10th revision. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models were employed to calculate the adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for lung cancer incidence up to 2019. RESULTS In multivariate analysis, group 2 exhibited a 26% higher risk of developing lung cancer than group 1 (HR, 1.26; 95% CI, 1.19 to 1.35). Furthermore, group 3 demonstrated a 72% elevated risk of lung cancer relative to group 1 (HR, 1.72; 95% CI, 1.58 to 1.89). Among participants with dipstick proteinuria of 2+ or greater, group 3 faced a significantly higher risk of lung cancer than group 1 (HR, 2.93; 95% CI, 1.37 to 6.24). CONCLUSIONS Low eGFR was significantly associated with increased lung cancer risk within the Korean population. A particularly robust association was observed in individuals with severe proteinuria, emphasizing the need for further investigation.

Abstract
Lung cancer ranks first in cancer mortality in Korea and cancer incidence in Korean men. More than half of Korean lung cancer patients undergo chemotherapy, including adjuvant therapy. Cytotoxic agents, targeted therapy, and immune checkpoint inhibitors are used in chemotherapy according to the biopsy and genetic test results. Among chemotherapy, the one that has developed rapidly is targeted therapy. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines have been updated recently for targeted therapy of multiple gene mutations, and targeted therapy is used not only for chemotherapy but also for adjuvant therapy. While previously targeted therapies have been developed for common genetic mutations, recently targeted therapies have been developed to overcome uncommon mutations or drug resistance that have occurred since previous targeted therapy. Therefore, this study describes recent, rapidly developing targeted therapies.

Abstract
Background Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with risk factors such as age and smoking. Low-dose computed tomography screening can reduce lung cancer mortality. However, its effectiveness in Asian populations remains unclear. Most Asian women with lung cancer are non-smokers who have not been screened. We conducted a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the performance of low-dose computed tomography screening in a Chinese population, including high-risk smokers and non-smokers exposed to passive smoking. The baseline data are reported in this study. Methods Between May and December 2019, eligible participants were randomized in a ratio of 1:1:1 to a screening (two arms) or control cohort. Non-calcified nodules/masses with a diameter >4 mm on low-dose computed tomography were considered positive findings. Results In total, 600 patients (mean age, 59.1 ± 6.9 years) underwent low-dose computed tomography. Women accounted for 31.5% (189/600) of patients; 89.9% (170/189) were non-smokers/passive smokers. At baseline, the incidence of lung cancer was 1.8% (11/600). The incidence of lung cancer was significantly lower in smokers than in female non-smokers/passive smokers (1.0% [4/415] vs. 4.1% [7/170], respectively; P=0.017). Stage 0-I lung cancer accounted for 90.9% (10/11) of cases. Conclusions We demonstrate the importance of including active smokers and female non-smokers/passive smokers in lung cancer screening programs. Further studies are needed to explore the risk factors, and long-term cost-benefit of screening Asian non-smoking women.

Abstract
Purpose Reactive oxygen species modulator 1 (Romo1) is a key regulator of intracellular reactive oxygen species production. Previous studies have shown that Romo1 overexpression in tumor tissue is associated with poor clinical outcomes in various clinical settings for lung cancer treatment. The aim of the present study was to assess the predictive value of serum Romo1 in patients received curative resection for lung cancer. Methods Serum samples were collected from patients with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent surgical resection. Baseline serum Romo1 and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels before surgery were measured. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify whether serum Romo1 was associated with disease-free survival (DFS). Results A total of 77 samples were analyzed. Using the cut-off value of 866 pg/mL, the population was classified into low (n = 42, 54.4%) and high (n = 35, 45.4%) Romo1 groups. The median DFS of the high Romo1 group was significantly shorter than that of the low Romo1 group (25.5 months vs not reached [NR], p = 0.0105). In addition, the median DFS of patients in the high CEA (>2.9 ng/mL) group was significantly shorter than those in the low CEA group (26.8 months vs NR, p = 0.0092). Multivariate analyses showed that both high Romo1 and CEA levels were independently associated with poor DFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.19; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.14–8.37, and HR = 2.95; 95% CI: 1.23–9.21, respectively). Moreover, combination of these two biomarkers resulted in higher HR of 4.11 (95% CI, 1.53–14.05) for DFS than those of Romo1 and CEA. Conclusion Elevated serum Romo1 levels were significantly associated with early recurrence in patients with lung adenocarcinoma treated with surgical resection. Serum Romo1 may be a promising predictive biomarker for this patient population.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe the clinical features and prognosis of patients with uveal metastasis in Korea. DESIGN Retrospective, observational case series. PARTICIPANTS Patients diagnosed at 2 tertiary high-volume centers between November 2005 and November 2019. METHODS Evaluation of multimodal imaging and electronic medical records. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The clinical features and outcomes were assessed based on the primary cancer site. RESULTS A total of 134 uveal metastases (128 choroidal, 3 iris, and 3 ciliary body tumors) were diagnosed in 95 eyes of 80 patients. Mean age at diagnosis was 56 years (median, 55 years; range, 24-86 years), with a minor preponderance of women (61%). Tumors were bilateral in 15 patients (19%) and the primary origin was established in 49 patients (61%) before ocular detection. The primary tumor originated in the lung (48%), breast (24%), gastrointestinal tract (10%), liver (3%), pancreas (3%), kidney (1%), cervix (1%), and nasopharynx (1%), with some remaining unknown (10%). The overall 5-year survival rate was 21%. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that the worst survival was found in pancreatic cancers (mean survival, 5.9 months; P = 0.045), and the best survival was found in gastrointestinal tract cancers (mean survival, 44.5 months). CONCLUSIONS The primary tumor origins in Korean patients with uveal metastases differed from those reported in primarily population-based studies of White patients, with a higher prevalence of lung and gastrointestinal tract cancers.

Abstract
Afatinib is an ErbB family blocker approved for the treatment of epidermal growth factor receptor mutation‐positive nonsmall‐cell lung cancer. A pivotal trial demonstrated significant clinical benefits with manageable toxicity of afatinib as a second‐line treatment option in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung (SCC) which led to approval in >60 countries. However, these results were derived from a controlled study conducted in selected patients and are not necessarily representative of the real‐world use of this drug. In addition, data on afatinib use after immunotherapy in this clinical setting are lacking. The aim of this study is to evaluate the treatment outcomes and safety of afatinib as a second‐ or later‐line treatment for SCC and to identify potential predictive biomarkers. As a real‐world observational study, 130 eligible patients with advanced SCC, who progressed after platinum‐based chemo‐ and immunotherapy, will be enrolled. Treatment outcomes and safety data will be collected for both the retrospective and prospective cohorts, and molecular profiling using tissue and plasma will be performed for the prospective cohort. The primary endpoint is time to treatment failure, and the secondary endpoints are objective response rate, progression‐free survival, overall survival, and safety. Comparison of clinical outcomes with respect to the different programmed death‐ligand 1 expression and molecular characteristics will also be carried out. This study will provide additional evidence on the usefulness of afatinib as a subsequent treatment, as well as feasible molecular biomarkers to predict its efficacy in this clinical setting.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths in Korea. Although the smoking rate has decreased over time, the prevalence of lung cancer still remains high. In this study, we reviewed recent trends on the incidence, epidemiology, screening, diagnosis, and treatment of lung cancer in Korea by analyzing data from the national lung cancer registry and recently-published studies. Although approximately 40% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were diagnosed as stage IV, the 5-year relative survival rate improved from 11.3% (1993-1995) to 30.2% (2013-2017), possibly due to advances in methods of diagnosis and therapy. In addition, the 2019 implementation of the national lung cancer screening program with low-dose computed tomography may have also contributed to these improvements in survival rates. Recently, molecular diagnosis has become more widely used in the identification of genetic mutations in tissue specimens. Target therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors have also been successfully used, particularly in cases of advanced NSCLC. In the future, further research on the optimal management of lung cancer remains necessary.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in developing to advanced countries worldwide. The incidence rate of lung cancer in Korea has been increasing steadily since 1997. Statistics show that in 2017 alone, the incidence and mortality rates for lung cancer were 52.7 and 34.8 per 100,000 people, respectively, accounting for the highest cause of cancer death in Korea. The process of accurately diagnosing lung cancer consists of several steps, starting with the discovery of pulmonary nodule(s) via a cancer screening test or various other methods followed by the collection of cells or tissues and the identification of target molecules. Thereafter, staging and the development of a therapeutic plan lead to improved clinical outcomes. After the completion of a pilot study, a nationwide lung cancer screening program was introduced in Korea; since 2019, this program has targeted population at high risk for lung cancer: men and women aged 54 to 74 years who had a smoking history of 30 pack-years or more. The frequency of detection of pulmonary nodules is increasing in proportion to the public interest in health and economic growth. In this review, we present diagnostic techniques and biomarkers that are widely used in the medical field in the hope that such information would benefit clinical practice.

Abstract
Background Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the main sub-type of lung cancer, which is a major disease of human death. However, the role of non-SMC condensin I complex subunit H (NCAPH) in LUAD and its possible upstream regulation microRNAs (miRNAs) remains unclearly. Methods In this study, we analyzed the NCAPH mRNA and protein expression in normal and cancer tissues mainly based on Human Protein Atlas (HPA) database, The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) databases. With the help of the Kaplan Meier plotter, we explored the prognosis role in LUAD. Furtherly, the co-expressed genes of NCAPH in LUAD were obtained by using cBioPortal, GEPIA and UALCAN database. Then, gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis of co-expression genes of NCAPH was conducted by DAVID, while the protein-protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed with STRING and hub genes were identified and visualized by Cytoscape software. We also investigated the miRNAs and chemicals that may downregulated the NCAPH expression. Results The results showed that NCAPH expression level was elevated in LUAD tissue compared with normal lung tissue and predicted poor prognosis. GO and KEGG pathway enriched analysis of co-expressed genes suggested that NCAPH may play an important role in cell cycle in LUAD. Nine top hub co-expressed genes were all negatively related to the LUAD prognosis. Lastly, 8 miRNAs and 5 chemicals were identified to have the potential to down-regulate the NCAPH expression. Conclusions Our study indicated that NCAPH expression in LUAD is a poor prognostic indicator, which may be the potential therapeutic target in the future.

Abstract
Backgrounds The present study evaluated Korean women with lung cancer and compared the clinical characteristics of ever-smoker and never-smoker groups using the National Lung Cancer Registry. Methods In affiliation with the Korean Central Cancer Registry, the Korean Association for Lung Cancer constructed a registry into which 10% of the lung cancer cases in Korea were registered. Female lung cancer patients with valid smoking history were evaluated. Results Among 735 female lung cancer patients, 643 (87.5%) were never-smokers and 92 (12.5%) were smokers. The median survival was significantly longer in the never-smoker group (28 vs. 14 months; P<0.001). Among 683 patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the never-smoker group showed significantly longer median survival (29 vs. 14 months; P=0.002) and a higher proportion of stage I cancer (40.3% vs. 25.7%; P<0.001). Survival analysis of the NSCLC patients showed that smoking status, receiving only supportive care, EGFR mutation status, lung cancer stage, and forced vital capacity (FVC) (%) were significantly associated with mortality in the multivariate analysis (P=0.025, HR 2.39, 95% CI: 1.12–5.11; P=0.017, HR 3.14, 95% CI: 1.22–8.06; P=0.033, HR 0.63, 95% CI: 0.41–0.96; P<0.001, HR 11.88, 95% CI: 5.79–24.38; P=0.002, HR 0.98, 95% CI: 0.96–0.99, respectively). Conclusions In Korean women with NSCLC, smoking status, not receiving active anticancer treatment, EGFR mutation status, lung cancer stage, and pulmonary function were significantly associated with mortality.

Onco Targets Ther 2020; 13:8273-8285. [PMID: 32903896 PMCID: PMC7445533 DOI: 10.2147/ott.s271011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/10/2020] [Accepted: 08/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose Although programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression is widely accepted as a predictive and prognostic biomarker in immunotherapy, its implications in lung cancer patients with driving mutations are still unclear. The objective of this study is to determine the association between PD-L1 expression and treatment outcome in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated lung cancer treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Methods We retrospectively enrolled EGFR-mutant, advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients who received first-line EGFR-TKIs and evaluated the PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) using the 22C3 pharmDx assay. We investigated the distribution of patients with different PD-L1 TPS values, followed by the analysis of response rate (RR), survival rate, and incidence of secondary T790M mutation according to the PD-L1 TPS group. Results Among the 131 patients analyzed, the proportion of patients with PD-L1 TPS ≥ 50%, 1–49%, and <1%, was 17.6%, 32.8%, and 49.6%, respectively. The RR was significantly lower in the group with PD-L1 TPS ≥ 50% than in the other groups (43.5% vs 72.1% vs 78.5%, all p = 0.001). In multivariate analysis, PD-L1 TPS ≥ 50% was independently associated with a significantly shorter PFS in the overall population (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.64, p = 0.004) and associated with shorter OS in patients with exon 19 deletion (HR = 2.55, p = 0.041) compared with PD-L1 TPS < 50%. In addition, the frequency of secondary T790M mutation after TKI failure was significantly lower in the group with PD-L1 TPS ≥ 50% than in the other groups (13.3% vs 40.0% vs 53.3%, all p = 0.001). PD-L1 TPS ≥ 50% was an independent predictor of a lower frequency of this mutation (HR = 0.63, p = 0.043). Conclusion High PD-L1 expression was associated with unfavorable clinical outcome and less development of secondary T790M mutation, suggesting a distinct subgroup warranting active surveillance and tailored therapeutic approach.

Abstract
Purpose The clinical implications of the metabolic parameters of 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated lung cancer are not fully understood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic utility of the parameters in EGFR-mutated lung cancer patients. Patients and Methods We retrospectively enrolled 134 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma (72 EGFR-negative and 62 EGFR-positive). We evaluated the correlation between EGFR mutational status and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax), as well as the associations between treatment outcomes in EGFR-mutated patients and various metabolic parameters of primary tumors. For the best predictive parameters, we calculated the metabolic tumor volume (MTV) and total lesion glycolysis (TLG) using two SUV cutoffs: 1.5 (MTV1.5, TLG1.5) and 2.5 (MTV2.5, TLG2.5). Results Mean SUVmax was lower for EGFR-mutated tumors compared with EGFR wild-type (6.11 vs 10.41, p < 0.001) tumors. Low SUVmax was significantly associated with positive EGFR mutation (odds ratio = 1.74). Multivariate analysis for survival demonstrated that high MTV1.5, TLG1.5, MTV2.5, and TLG2.5 were independently associated with shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), and the highest hazard ratios were found in TLG1.5 (3.26 for PFS and 4.62 for OS). Conclusion SUVmax may be predictive for EGFR mutational status, and MTV and TLG of primary tumors may be promising prognostic parameters; 18F-FDG PET/CT has potential utility for the risk stratification of EGFR-mutated patients treated with targeted therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore the TEM8 expression in patients with lung cancer and its relationship with clinical pathology and prognosis, and to analyze the diagnostic value of TEM8. METHODS A total of 204 patients with lung cancer diagnosed and treated in Zhongmeng Hospital Zhalantun and the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University from March 2013 to February 2016 were enrolled in the study group, and 203 healthy subjects in the control group. qRT-PCR technique was applied to detect the TEM8 expression. Combined with clinical information, the diagnostic value of TEM8 for lung cancer and the correlation of clinical characteristics of TEM8 were analyzed. The 3-year survival curves of patients with low and high TEM8 expressions were compared. RESULTS The expression in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). When the cut-off value was 1.125, the sensitivity, specificity and AUC of TEM8 in the diagnosis of lung cancer were 50.00%, 98.00% and 0.726 respectively. The TEM8 expression also differs when in smoking, lymphatic metastasis, TNM stage, differentiation degree and pleural invasion classification (P<0.050). 132 patients were included in the survival group and 72 patients were included in the death group. There was a difference between the two groups in the effect of TEM8 on the prognosis (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS TEM8 showed high expression in the study group. TEM8 had good diagnostic efficacy and was expected to be an excellent indicator for early clinical diagnosis and prognosis of lung cancer.

Abstract
The increase in lung cancer incidence of Korea has been dampened since 2000; however, increased human lifespan, interest in health care and the widespread implementation of health examinations have resulted in a considerable rise in detection of small lesions that need to be differentiated from lung cancer. Detection of lung cancer at an early stage rather than at a symptomatic advanced stage is also increasing, suggesting that there are increasing diagnostic demands for small peripheral lung lesions. The development of new molecular diagnostics, including next generation sequencing, companion diagnostics that accompany development of new anti-cancer drugs, and re-biopsy for application of new therapeutic modality accelerate the development of lung cancer diagnostics. In this review, we extensively describe the current available diagnostic tools in lung cancer.

Abstract
Background We investigated the risk factors for leptomeningeal carcinomatosis (LMC) and compared clinical efficacies of various treatment modalities including intrathecal (IT) chemotherapy in patients with lung adenocarcinoma harboring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. Methods Using clinical research data from the Asan Medical Center, we retrospectively analyzed data of patients diagnosed with LMC, confirmed via cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis from January 2008 to December 2017. Results We identified 1189 patients with lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR mutations. Among these, 9.8% had a median duration of 13.5 (interquartile range [IQR] 6.8–23.6) months from the initial lung cancer diagnosis to LMC occurrence. Younger age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.043, P < 0.001), initial metastatic disease (HR 3.768, P < 0.001), and metastasis to the brain (HR 8.682, P < 0.001) or lung (HR 2.317, P = 0.004) were risk factors associated with LMC. Median survival duration from LMC diagnosis was 3.8 (IQR 1.5–8.6) months. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status score ≤ 2 (HR 0.505, P = 0.007) and insertion of Ommaya reservoir (HR 0.445, P = 0.005) were associated with longer survival. EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) conferred survival benefits compared to cytotoxic chemotherapy or best supportive care (HR 2.222, P = 0.018; HR 5.638, P < 0.001, respectively). Although IT chemotherapy showed no survival benefit, it was associated with improved neurologic symptoms and signs and CSF negative conversion. Conclusions Younger age, initial diagnosis of metastatic disease, and metastasis to the brain or different lobes were associated with LMC in patients with EGFR‐mutant lung adenocarcinoma. Therapeutic interventions including EGFR‐TKIs, cytotoxic chemotherapy, or Ommaya reservoir, and good performance status were related to favorable survival outcomes. Key points Age and disease status were associated with LMC in patients with EGFR‐mutant adenocarcinoma, and EGFR‐TKI, Ommaya reservoir, and good performance status were related to survival benefit.
