      Background:
      Bone metastasis and skeletal-related events (SREs) such as pathologic fracture and spinal cord compression are common in advanced lung cancer. This study was aimed to investigate the characteristics of disease progression focused on SREs during EGFR-TKI treatment.

      Methods:
      We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 3,085 Korean patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer who were treated with gefitinib or erlotinib between 2004 and 2014. SRE associated with aggravation of bone metastasis was termed ‘bone failure (BF)’. BFs were classified into 2 categories according to the presence of accompanying disease progression of preexisting cancer lesions in extra-skeletal organs; isolated bone failure (IBF) versus non-IBF.

      Results:
      The incidence of SREs during EGFR-TKI treatment was 4.7% (146/3085). Among them, 60 patients experienced IBF without aggravation of disease in extra-skeletal organs. IBF was more frequent in clinical benefit group (responders and stable ≥ 6 months) than in non-clinical benefit group (53.5% vs 13.3%; P < 0.001). Adenocarcinoma histology and clinical benefit from EGFR-TKI were independent risk factors for IBF (adenocarcinoma: adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 10.283; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.148 – 92.121; P= 0.037, clinical benefit from TKI: adjusted HR 9.463; 95% CI 3.027 – 29.584; P < 0.001). The time from the start of EGFR-TKI to the occurrence of SRE was significantly longer in IBF than that in non-IBF (9.8 vs 5.2 months; P= 0.054). Moreover, patients with IBF exhibited longer survival time from the initiation of TKI (20.1 vs 7.7 months; P = 0.008) and from the occurrence of SRE (9.2 vs 1.9 months; P = 0.006). Multivariate analysis showed that IBF was one of independent prognostic factors for better survival although the statistical significance was marginal (adjusted HR 0.492; 95% CI 0.237 – 1.021; P = 0.057).

      Conclusion:
      IBF without systemic disease progression frequently occurs in patients with clinical benefits from EGFR-TKI treatment and shows the better survival requiring more active treatment.
