Prognostic implications of combining EGFR-TKIs and radiotherapy in Stage IV lung adenocarcinoma with 19-Del or 21-L858R mutations: A real-world study
CANCER MEDICINE(2024)
摘要
Objective: To elucidate the potential benefits of combining radiotherapy and epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) for individuals with Stage IV lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) harboring either exon 19 deletion (19-Del) or exon 21 L858R mutation (21-L858R). Methods: In this real-world retrospective study, 177 individuals with Stage IV LUAD who underwent EGFR-TKIs and radiotherapy at Shandong Cancer Hospital from June 2012 to August 2017 were included. The main focus of this real-world study was overall survival (OS). Results: The clinical characteristics of patients with Stage IV LUAD harboring 19-Del were similar to those harboring 21-L858R (p > 0.05). Overall, the patients had a median OS (mOS) of 32.0 months (95% confidence interval [CI]: 28.6-35.5). Subsequently, multivariate analysis indicated that both EGFR mutations and thoracic radiotherapy were independent predictors of OS (p = 0.001 and 0.013). Furthermore, subgroup analysis highlighted a longer OS for the 19-Del group compared to the 21-L858R group, especially when EGFR-TKIs were combined with bone metastasis or thoracic radiotherapy (mOS: 34.7 vs. 25.1 months and 51.0 vs. 29.6 months; p = 0.0056 and 0.0013, respectively). However, no significant differences were found in OS when considering patients who underwent brain metastasis radiotherapy (mOS: 34.7 vs. 25.1 months; p = 0.088). Conclusions: Patients with Stage IV LUAD harboring 19-Del experience a notably prolonged OS following combined therapy with EGFR-TKIs and radiotherapy, while this OS benefit is observed despite the absence of substantial differences in the clinical characteristics between the 19-Del and 21-L858R groups.
