Abstract

ImportancePatients with EGFR mutations who have advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) already receive tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) as the standard first-line therapy. Notably, Yunnan is a regional high incidence area of lung cancer in the highlands with a high rate of rare EGFR mutations. Overall, lung cancer patients in Xuanwei may present a distinct subgroup globally. Recent studies suggested that the NSCLC cohort in Xuanwei harbored a significantly higher uncommon mutation rate. However, little was known about the clinicopathological features and treatment efficacy of EGFR-TKI in Yunnan NSCLC patients.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the clinical impact of histologic type on the survival outcomes of patients with stage IIIB and IV NSCLC receiving EGFR-TKI treatment of Yunnan in southwestern China.MethodsIn this retrospective study, we enrolled advanced NSCLC patients (IIIB-IV) with EGFR mutations who were first diagnosed and treated at Yunnan Cancer hospital from January 2016 to December 2019. Sociodemographics, lifestyle, survival, and clinicopathological characteristics of the patients were collected. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to assess the OS and PFS of patients. An analysis of prognostic factors was conducted using Cox regression.ResultsA total of 468 eligible patients were included. The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival(OS) were 11.30(95% CI, 10.12-12.48) months and 30.30(95% CI, 26.24-34.36) months. Based on survival analysis among all the patients,females(HR=0.815;95% CI:0.671-0.989; P=0.017), Xuanwei origin (HR=0.776; 95% CI: 0.609-0.989; P=0.040), sample types(HR=0.780; 95% CI: 0.642-0.947; P=0.012) had a longer PFS. Multivariable analysis showed that only the sample type was an independent factor on median PFS with EGFR-TKI therapy. Patients less than 60 years old (HR=1.433; 95% CI:1.134-1.812, P=0.003)had better OS, but objectives with BMI≥24kg/m2(HR=0.653; 95% CI: 0.500-0.864; P=0.002), females(HR=0.776; 95% CI:0.613-0.982; P=0.035)and patients with tissue sample type (HR=0.760; 95% CI:0.600-.0961; P=0.022) had better OS. Notably, subgroup analysis of our study also found that PFS was significantly better in patients with G719X, L861Q, S768I, G719X+L861Q, and G719X+S768I in Xuanwei than classical mutation ones, including 19-Del and L858R (median 22.7 vs. 12.0 months, HR=0.523, P=0.010), while PFS was inferior in patients with rare mutations of EGFR in non-Xuanwei than the classical mutation ones (median 5.10 vs. 11.10 months, HR=1.760, P=0.015).ConclusionNSCLC patients in Yunnan displayed a unique EGFR mutation profile, especially a higher prevalence of EGFR uncommon and compound mutations subtype. This study indicates prognostic factors of NSCLC treated with EGFR-TKI in Yunan and Xuanwei. This study will provide new clinical evidence for EGFR-TKI-targeted therapy in patients with rare EGFR mutations in China and worldwide. More researchs were needed for NSCLC EGFR-TKI therapy and medical insurance policy-making in Yunnan, Xuanwei area and uncommon especially.
