Abstrakt: Background: Molecular diagnostics for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has become the standard of care for personalized treatment. Epidermal growth factor receptor ( EGFR ) mutation and EML4-ALK translocation represent the two most important alterations in first-line treatment decision-making. However, other potentially targetable alterations are also present.
Methods: One thousand consecutive NSCLC patients with EGFR wild type (wt) tumors diagnosed by routine molecular analysis were considered. KRAS , BRAF , ERBB2 , PIK3CA , NRAS , ALK , MAP2K1 , RET and DDR2 gene mutations were analyzed using the multiparametric Sequenom MassARRAY ® platform. EML4-ALK and ROS1 rearrangements were also assessed by fluorescent in situ hybridization. HER4 status was determined by direct sequencing.
Results: Three hundred and forty-eight (34.8%), 31 (3.1%), 39 (4.4%), 14 (1.8%), 6 (0.7%), 16 (1.8%), 5 (0.6%) and 9 (0.9%) patients showed an alteration in KRAS , BRAF , ALK , ROS1 , NRAS , PIK3CA , MAPK1 /2 and HER2 genes, respectively. Of the 657 patients for whom all markers were determined, 318 (48%) patients had at least one alteration. Eight patients showed overlapping mutations, 4 KRAS mutation/ EML4-ALK translocation, one KRAS mutation/ ROS1 rearrangement, 2 KRAS/PIK3CA mutations, and one BRAF/PIK3CA mutations.
Conclusions: About 50% of our patients had a potentially targetable alteration, confirming the usefulness of a multiparametric approach for routine molecular diagnostics aimed at identifying potential therapeutic targets.
