Résumé

The significance of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation in untreated patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains uncertain. We aimed to determine the significance of EGFR mutation in patients who received best supportive care (BSC) alone, and compare the outcomes of only EGFR- tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI)-treated vs. BSC patients. Between April 1991-August 2018, 1,197 patients diagnosed with unresectable NSCLC at our institutions were enrolled in the study. Among 226 patients who underwent EGFR mutation analysis and received BSC alone, 35 and 191 did and did not harbor the mutation, and the median survival times (MST) did not differ significantly between these groups. A comparison of only EGFR-TKI-treated and BSC patients with EGFR mutation revealed that the former had a three times longer MST than the latter. Our results may help explain the benefit of EGFR-TKI for patients who would be directed towards BSC.

BACKGROUND/AIM OBJECTIVE
The significance of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation in untreated patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains uncertain. We aimed to determine the significance of EGFR mutation in patients who received best supportive care (BSC) alone, and compare the outcomes of only EGFR- tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI)-treated vs. BSC patients.
PATIENTS AND METHODS METHODS
Between April 1991-August 2018, 1,197 patients diagnosed with unresectable NSCLC at our institutions were enrolled in the study.
RESULTS RESULTS
Among 226 patients who underwent EGFR mutation analysis and received BSC alone, 35 and 191 did and did not harbor the mutation, and the median survival times (MST) did not differ significantly between these groups. A comparison of only EGFR-TKI-treated and BSC patients with EGFR mutation revealed that the former had a three times longer MST than the latter.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Our results may help explain the benefit of EGFR-TKI for patients who would be directed towards BSC.
