      Background:
      Approximately half of BRAF-mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harbor a BRAF non-V600E mutation. Because of the rarity of those mutations, associated clinical features and prognostic significance have not been thoroughly described so far.

      Method:
      A total of 2979 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer were recruited between July 2012 and December 2014. The status of BRAF mutation and other genes were detected by pyrophosphate sequencing or the next generation sequencing.

      Result:
      BRAF gene mutation rate was 0.91% (27/2979) in NSCLC, and median overall survival (OS) for these patients was 14.0 months. Among them, 17 BRAF non-V600E patients (A308T, A569T, V377D, R626K, P345T, Q530*, A320T, G652E, N581S, T167I, G466V, L597V, D594G, D594G, R389C, G469A, W531S, 62.96%) had a median OS of 11.9 months, and median OS of the 10 BRAF V600E patients (37.04%) was 24.3 months. Statistically significant difference was found between the two groups (P=0.03). Briefly, patients with (n=2)(non-V600E), (n=3)(V600E) or without (n=22) co-occurring EGFR mutations had a median OS of 25.6 months, 14.8 months and 14.8 months repectively (P=0.43); patients with (n=12)(non-V600E), (n=4)(V600E) or without (n=11) co-occurring TP53 mutations had a median OS of 11.9 months, 26.8 months and 13.9 months repectively (P=0.23); patients with (n=2)(non-V600E), (n=1)(V600E) or without (n=24) co-occurring ATM mutations had a median OS of 25.8 months, 16.0 months and 12.9 months repectively (P=0.71); patients with (n=3)(non-V600E), or without (n=24) co-occurring KRAS mutations had a median OS of 10.4 months and 15.3 months repectively (P=0.14); patients with (n=5)(non-V600E), or without (n=22) co-occurring DNMT3A mutations had a median OS of 13.4 months and 15.3 months repectively (P=0.22).

      Conclusion:
      This one of the largest series of patients with BRAF mutant NSCLC. Our clinical datas suggest that BRAF non-V600E mutations define specific subsets of patients with NSCLC, the value of BRAF non-V600E mutations are poor prognosis than V600E mutations. And it may benefit from combined targeted therapy with a RAF inhibitor and a MEK-inhibitor in treating BRAF non-V600E mutantion NSCLC.

      P2.01-017 - Study on the Effect of Apatinib Salvage Treatment of Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 8285)

      09:00 - 16:00  |  Author(s): Z. Xu

      Background:
      No definitive chemotherapeutic regimen has been established in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who failed second-or third-line treatment. The study of this aim is to investigate the effect of apatinib in advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

      Method:
      72 patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated in our hospital from March 2014 to March 2016 were selected and given oral apatinib (750mg, qd) to tumor progression, death or toxicity intolerance so far. The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression free survival (PFS), and toxic side effects were observed and observed. Single factor analysis was used to compare the relationship between the clinical features and PFS.

      Result:
      The median PFS of the patients was 4.8 months (95%CI:4.7-5.0). The results of single factor analysis showed that there were no significant differences between different gender, age, PS score, histological type, drive gene mutation and metastasis foci, the number of metastasis, metastasis, treatment history, line number and duration of treatment in patients with PFS (P>0.05). The ORR of this group was 13.89%, DCR was 83.33%. According to the clinical data of 72 patients in the treatment of patients with the clinical efficacy of the waterfall plot, we can see that there are 54 cases of patients with lesions to reduce the diameter of tumor lesions as the effective treatment of the standard, there were 10 patients with of PR. There are various types of adverse events occurred in 60 patients, the incidence rate was 83.33%, including 22 cases (30.55%) for the aged III.

      Conclusion:
      Apatinib is a effective and safe treatment in advanced non-small cell lung cancer, and can be carried out more in-depth research and application in clinic.

      P3.02-068 - 95 Cases of EGFR/ALK Gene Status Anaysis in Lung Adenosquamous Carcinoma (ID 8273)

      Background:
      Adenosquamous carcinoma is a rare subtype of lung cancer, it is mixed glandular and squamous cell carcinoma with a more aggressive behavior and poor prognosis than the other histologic subtypes. The aim of this study is to investigate the characteristics of lung adenosquamous carcinoma and to analyze the prognostic factors.

      Method:
      The reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method was used to detect the tissues in 95 patients of lung adenosquamous carcinoma with paraffin tissue EGFR gene mutation and ALK fusion gene. And the survival rate was calculated by Kaplan-Meiermethod and log-rank test was used to compare the survival rates. Univariate and multivariate factors for survival were analyzed by COX proportional hazards regression model.

      Result:
      95 cases of lung adenosquamous carcinoma were males, more than 60 years old and smoking patients predominant; COX univariate analysis revealed that gender, age, smoking history, EGFR gene status, ALK fusion gene status, stage, subtype patterns and subtype type were prognostic factors for lung adenosquamous carcinoma. COX multivariate analysis found that stage, subtype patterns and subtype type were independent prognostic factors for lung adenosquamous carcinoma (P<0.05).

      Conclusion:
      Lung adenosquamous carcinoma mainly occurred in men patients over 60 years old with smoking. Stage, subtype patterns and subtype type are the crucial prognostic factors for lung adenosquamous carcinoma.
