    • Abstract

    Background:
    Identifying genomic alterations of actionable driver genes in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) such as EGFR, ALK, ROS1 has been used as important evidences for firstline treatments. Patients with driver mutations received matched target drugs could have significantly longer progression free and overall survival.
    
    Method:
    FFPE tumor samples of 498 Chinese NSCLC patients including 279 males (56%) and 219 females (44%) with a median age of 60 were collected for next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based multi genes panel assay. Genomic alterations including single base substitution, short and long insertions/deletions, copy number variations, and gene rearrangement and fusions in selected genes were assessed.
    
    Result:
    Different histological subtypes of adenocarcinoma (417/498, 83.7%), squamous carcinoma (68/498, 13.7%), mixed carcinoma (6/498, 1.2%) and large cell carcinoma (7/498, 1.4%) were included in the Chinese NSCLC cohort. The top ranked genomic alterations in driver genes were EGFR (47.8%), KRAS (10.0%), ALK fusions (8.2%), PIK3CA (7.0%), HER2 (6.2 %), PTEN (3.6%), BRAF (2.6%), MET (3.6%), RET fusions (1.6%), and ROS1 fusions (0.8%), which counts up to 86.9% of the 498 patients with at least one driver mutation. In addition to common driver mutations, rare mutation types such as EGFR-KDD, EGFR-RAD51, AMOTL2-NTRK1 and KIF13A-RET were also detected by deep sequencing assay.
    
    Conclusion:
    Our study revealed the landscape of driver gene mutations in 498 Chinese NSCLC patients. Comparing to the largest public NSCLC cohort from Foundation Medicine, mostly Western populations (N=6823, PMID: 27151654), we identified similar frequencies of some driver genes, but more ALK fusions (8.2% vs 3.9%), EGFR mutations (47.8% vs 20.0%) as druggable target genes, and less KRAS mutations (10.0% vs 32.0%) consistent with reported results. Totally 78.7% of the Chinese patietns harbored at least one mutaiton in the 8 core driver genes including EGFR, ALK, BRAF, ERBB2, MET, ROS1, RET, or KRAS (vs. 71% in the FMI cohort). Our findings demonstrated that genomic profiling of driver genes in NSCLC showed significant differences among racial or ethnic groups, which indicated different treatment options between Eastern and Western populations.
