P2.06-044 - Frequency of Mutations and Related Factors in Lung Adenocarcinoma Cases in Turkey (ID 5291)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): N.Y. Demirci
- Abstract
Background:
Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) and c-ros oncogene 1 receptor tyrosine kinase (ROS1) gene mutations in lung adenocarcinoma (LA) cases give an opportunity to use some of targeted therapy agents. The aim of this study is to obtain EGFR, ALK and ROS1 gene mutation frequencies in Turkey and to examine the factors affecting these frequencies.
Methods:
EGFR, ALK, ROS1 mutation analyses were examined in a total of 971 LA cases; 745 men (76.7%), and 226 women (23.3%) diagnosed in 12 hospitals from different districts of Turkey were enrolled in the study. The demographic characteristics, smoking status, asbestos exposure history, radiological findings associated with asbestos exposure (AE) were investigated with relation to the frequencies of EGFR, ALK and ROS1 gene mutations. In the univariate analysis of the study data chi-square and t-tests were used. To determine the independent factors associated with gene mutations, multivariate logistic regression model was created with the variables that give p <0.10 level of significance in univariate analysis.
Results:
The mean age of 971 patients was 60.8±9.8 years (range:23-91). Smoking rate was 92.6% in men, 42.5% in women (p<0.001). The number of patients with AE history was 279 (28.7%) and the number of patients with radiologic findings associated with AE was 114 (11.7%). The frequencies of EGFR, ALK and ROS1 mutations were 15.9% (152/956), 3.3% (26/768) and 1.6% (6/379), respectively. Female patients were more likely to have EGFR mutations compared with male patients (37.8% versus 9.3%; p<0,001). Never-smokers had higher incidence of EGFR mutations than smokers (39.6% versus 10.3%; p<0.001). The patients with radiological findings of AE had a 24.6% rate of EGFR mutations compared with a 14.7% rate of patients with no radiological findings (p=0.007). ALK rearrengement was detected in patients with younger age, having history of AE or radiological findings associated with AE (11.1%; p<0.001, 5.9%; p=0.014, 6.7%; p=0.044, respectively). No associated factor was found with ROS1 fusion frequency.
Conclusion:
To have a relationship between radiographic findings associated with AE or AE history and EGFR and ALK mutation frequencies is an original finding. The obtained results will be useful in the discussion of standards of treatment with the new agents and pathogenesis. *This study was carried out through the project named as “Network cooperation for the management of environmental and occupational exposure to mineral fibers induced pulmonary pathologies” which was supported by General Directorate of Health Researches, Republic of Turkey, Ministry of Health.
