      Background:
      RET fusion gene is identified as a novel oncogene in a subset of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, few datas are available about the prevalence and clinicopathologic characteristics in RET rearrangement lung adenocarcinoma patients. The aim of this study is to investigate mRNA expressions and relationship of RET rearrangement and thymidylate synthase (TYMS) genes in NSCLC tissues.

      Method:
      The positive rate of RET rearrangement and the mRNA expressions of of TYMS gene in NSCLC tissues of 642 patients were detected by using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR method, and the relationship and its correlation between the expression and clinicopathological features were also analyzed.

      Result:
      The positive rate of RET rearrangement in NSCLC was 0.93% (6/642); High mRNA expression of TYMS gene was 63.55%(408/642). The expressions showed no relationship with gender, age, smoking, tumor size, lymph node metastasis and clinical stages (P>0.05). The mRNA expressions between RET rearrangement and TYMS genes showed positive correlation (P<0.05).

      Conclusion:
      Thymidylate synthase gene shows low expression level in NSCLC patients with positive RET fusion gene, which may benefit from pemetrexed of first-line chemotherapy drug.

      P1.02-057 - Analysis of C-MET Amplification Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Cell Blocks from Pleural Effusion (ID 8282)

      Background:
      The MET receptor tyrosine kinase and its ligand, hepatocyte growth factor, is identified as a treatment target in lung cancer. c-MET gene abnormality can be distributed to various mechanisms including: overexpression, kinase activation, exon mutation, and amplification. c-MET gene amplification has been described as one of the reasons responsible for acquired EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor resistance. The aim of this study is to investigate the clinical value of c-MET gene amplification non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) blocks cell from pleural effusion.

      Method:
      Two hundred and fifeen cases of c-MET gene amplification non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) blocks cell from pleural effusion, Four hundred and four cases of tissues were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. The consistency of c-MET amplification was examined in 74 cases of patients with tissues and cell blocks.

      Result:
      c-MET amplification was found in 31 of 215 cell blocks (positive detection rate of 14.42%). c-MET amplification was detected in 35 of 404 tissue blocks (positive detection rate of 8.66%). There were 68cases in the 74 (91.89%) cases had the same consistency as tissue block. c-MET amplification was detected in 9 of 74 (12.16%) cell blocks, and 13 of 74 (17.57%) tissue blocks.

      Conclusion:
      The rate of c-MET amplification in cell blocks of NSCLC is higher than in matched tissue blocks. The patients with malignant pleural effusion are likely to tend c-MET amplification.

      P3.02-026 - The Study of ROS1 Rearrangement in Advanced Primary Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and Associated Metastatic Lesions (ID 8281)

      09:30 - 16:00  |  Author(s): Y. Tian

      Background:
      ROS1 rearrangement in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients has recently been identified as a driver gene and benefited from crizotinib treatment. However, no data are available for ROS1 rearrangement NSCLC about relationship between primary and metastatic patients. The aim of this study is to examine the positive rate of ROS1 rearrangement in primary and metastatic NSCLC, and to investigate their relationships.

      Method:
      From January 2013 to May 2015, 384 cases of primary NSCLC consisting of 246 cases of matched metastatic tumors and 47 cases of normal lung specimens as the control group were collected in multicenter. The positive rate of ROS1 rearrangement among NSCLC population was figured out, thus the consistency of ROS1 rearrangement in advanced primary NSCLC and associated metastases and the relationship between ROS1 rearrangement and clinical data was analyzed.

      Result:
      The positive rate of ROS1 rearrangement on primary tumor was 2.60% (10/384). For those 246 paired cases, the positive rate on primary tumor was 2.85% (7/246), with that of metastases 1.63% (4/246). Among the 246 cases, there was one case whose metastases was positive, primary tumors negative and 4 case whose primary tumor were positive, metastases were negative. Positive rate of ROS1 rearrangement was higher in the primary lesions than metastases. It was of statistical significance between the two groups (χ[2]=52.341, P<0.001). The positive rate of primary tumors could be predicted by metastases (κ=0.536, P<0.001). The sensitivity was 42.86% (3/7) and the specificity was 99.58% (238/239).

      Conclusion:
      The metastases of NSCLC can predict ROS1 rearrangement of the primary lesions. It can be used as alternative means for metastases to detect ROS1 rearrangement which are not readily available.
