      Background:
      Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are associated with a marked therapeutic response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, clinical predictors of the survival benefit of EGFR-TKI treatment in NSCLC with EGFR activating mutations have not been well elucidated. Therefore, this study evaluated clinical predictors of survival outcome in patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC who were treated with EGFR-TKIs. Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are associated with a marked therapeutic response to EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, clinical predictors of the survival benefit of EGFR-TKI treatment in NSCLC with EGFR activating mutations have not been well elucidated. Therefore, this study evaluated clinical predictors of survival outcome in patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC who were treated with EGFR-TKIs.

      Methods:
      A total of 224 patients with EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinomas that were treated with EGFR-TKIs were retrospectively reviewed. Treatment outcomes were evaluated based on clinical factors, number of metastasis site and progression patterns.

      Results:
      The clinical factors associated with reduced progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) by univariate analysis were ECOG performance status (PS) ≥ 2, intra- and extrathoracic metastasis, presence of extrathoracic metastasis, high number of metastasis sites, metastasis to liver or adrenal gland at baseline, and rapid progression of primary tumor at the time of progressive disease (PD). In multivariate analysis, factors that remained significantly associated with shorter PFS were ECOG PS ≥ 2 (Odds ratio [OR] 2.189 [95% CI, 1.374 – 3.437]; P < 0.001) and rapid progression of primary tumor at PD (OR 1.800 [95% CI, 1.059 – 3.058]; P = 0.030).

      Conclusion:
      Thus, tumor burden, expressed as the number of metastasis sites at the time of EGFR-TKI treatment, and rapid progression of primary tumor at PD are predictive of inferior survival in patients with lung adenocarcinoma with activating EGFR mutations.
