      Background

      KRAS mutations are reported in 20-25% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); their prognostic role in advanced NSCLC is still under dispute. Given that ethnicity may play a role on mutational profiles of NSCLC, we report here on KRAS mutations in Greek NSCLC patients.

      KRAS and EGFR genotypes were evaluated in 424 NSCLC patients diagnosed from March 2000 to December 2012 and associated with clinicopathological parameters. Outcome comparisons were performed in 234 metastatic patients with available treatment data, following 1st line chemotherapy without tyrosine kinase inhibitors.

      KRAS mutations were found in 71 tumors of all histologies (22.2% in adenocarcinomas); most common types were p.G12C (39.5%), p.G12D (32%) and p.G12V (14%). EGFR mutations were found in 45 tumors (14.8% in adenocarcinomas; 72.6% of the classical type) and were mutually exclusive with KRAS mutations except for one case. At a median 3-year follow-up for all patients, KRAS status was a strong negative prognostic factor for overall survival (OS, p=0.0213) but not for progression-free survival (PFS), irrespective of mutation type. KRAS mutations conferred 64% increased risk of death in all 1st line treated patients and the worst OS compared to EGFR and any wild-type status in 1st line platinum-treated patients (p=0.0547). Rare EGFR mutations conferred significantly better outcome to platinum-treated patients (OS, p=0.0074; PFS, p=0.0338).

      The presence of KRAS mutations seemed of adverse prognostic significance for survival, also in the presence of platinum-based 1st line treatment, while no prognostic differences were seen among different types of mutations.
