    • Abstract

    Background
    Use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors is a attractive option due to its predicatble profile of side effects & it been a oral tablet. Its efficacy and toxicities have been well described in both east asian and western population. However not much literature is available on its use from India. The aim of this paper was to audit the population which received TKI (Erlotinib or Gefinib) in a tertiary cancer center in India.

    Methods
    All patients who received TKI in lung cancer were identified from our OPD database. There case records, electronic medical records & our OPD databases were utilized. The demographic profile, the staging details , details of EGFR mutations, the RECIST response rates, the toxicities, progression free survival (PFS) & overall survival (OS). SPSS 16 was used for statistical analysis.

    Results
    Total of 105 patients were identified with a median age of 58 years (35-77 years). There were 56 females (52.8%). The 15.2 % (16) of patients were smokers & 22.3 % (18) were tobacco chewers. The median duration of smoking & tobacco chewing was 25 & 15 years respectively. All patients had stage IV disease. There were 2 cases of squamous cell carcinoma (1.9%)& rest all were adenocarcinomas. (98.1%) Extrathoracic disease was present in 42 patients (39.6 %) The EGFR mutation invoved exon 19 , 21 & 18 in 25, 72 & 8 patients respectively. The ECOF PS was 0 & 1 in 14 (13.2%) & 51 (48.1%) patients respectively.The incidence of any grade skin and mucosal toxicites were 53% & 38% respectively. The median PFS & OS overall were 11.1 & 21 months respectively. The PFS & OS were not affected by the performnce status, comorbidities & sites of metastasis

    Conclusion
    Use of TKI in Indian population had similar toxicity & efficacy as reported in literature.
