      Background:
      Somatic mutations of EGFR represent one of the most frequent genetic aberrations in lung adenocarcinoma and response to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has been favourable in EGFR-positive and advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients. The prognostic significance of EGFR mutations as oncogenic driver mutations in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma has yet to be determined. We aimed to evaluate the oncological significance of EGFR mutations in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma

      Methods:
      Four hundred and seventy-three consecutive lung adenocarcinoma patients who underwent surgical resection for pathological N0M0 disease, between January 2007 and December 2013, were retrospectively reviewed. The prognostic significance of EGFR mutation status was evaluated in 407 cases from these patients. Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free interval (RFI) curves were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared using a log-rank test. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using a Cox proportional hazards model.

      Results:
      There was no statistical significance in the 5-year OS (89.3 vs. 95.3%, P = .20, HR = 1.605) or RFI (86.5 vs. 93.5%, P = .06, HR = 1.956) rates between the EGFR-positive (n=183) and EGFR-negative (n=224) groups. Considering the risk of recurrence and positive EGFR mutation status, OS and RFI rates were subsequently calculated among specific histological subtypes. After adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), and invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) cases were excluded, all analysed cases were ≤5.0 cm in tumour diameter and were classified as pathological Stage IA-IB. Among specific histological subtypes, the 5-year RFI (81.5 vs. 92.4%, P = .04, HR = 2.160) but not OS rate (86.8 vs. 94.3%, P = .31, HR = 1.499) was significantly poorer in EGFR-positive cases compared to EGFR-negative cases. Univariate analysis, excluding AIS, MIA, and IMA, identified a pathological tumour size of >3.0 cm, a highly malignant subtype (micropapillary or solid predominant adenocarcinoma), pleural/lymphatic/vascular invasion, and a positive EGFR mutation status as significant negative predictive factors for RFI. Multivariate analysis confirmed pleural invasion and a positive EGFR mutation status as independent negative predictive factors for RFI.

      Conclusion:
      EGFR mutation status is a predictive factor for postoperative recurrence in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, with the exception of AIS, MIA, and IMA. The risk of recurrence should be considered with EGFR mutation status and predominant histological subtype in resected early-stage lung adenocarcinoma patients.
