Abstract

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation testing is essential for individualized treatment using tyrosine kinase inhibitors. We evaluated two EGFR mutation tests, cobas v2 and PANAMutyper, for detection of EGFR activating mutations Ex19del, L858R, and T790M in tumor tissue and plasma from 244 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. The Kappa coefficient (95% CI) between the tests was 0.82 (0.74–0.92) in tumor samples (suggesting almost perfect agreement) and 0.69 (0.54–0.84) in plasma (suggesting substantial agreement). In plasma samples, both tests showed low to moderate sensitivity depending on disease stage but high diagnostic precision (86%–100%) in all disease stages (sensitivity: percentage of mutations in tumors that are also detected in plasma; precision: percentage of mutations in plasma which are also detected in tumors). Among the 244 patients, those previously diagnosed as T790M carriers who received osimertinib treatment showed dramatically better clinical outcomes than T790M carriers without osimertinib treatment. Taken together, our study supports interchangeable use of cobas v2 and PANAMutyper in tumor and plasma EGFR testing. Both tests have high diagnostic precision in plasma but are particularly valuable in late-stage disease. Our clinical data in T790M carriers strongly support the clinical benefits of osimertinib treatment guided by both EGFR mutation tests.
