      136P - Correlation of molecular status and anatomic sites of metastases at diagnosis of EGFR positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC): A single institution experience (ID 462)

      • Abstract

      Background

      A significant proportion of NSCLC patients carry mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) kinase domain, in most cases with the presence of a deletion mutation in exon 19 or L858R point mutation. The aim of our analysis was to examine the patterns of metastatic spread in IV stage nsclc and whether it varies by EGFR mutation status.

      All patients (pts) with stage IV NSCLC from 2014-2017, without a recent history of cancer, were diagnosed at our department in which anatomic sites of metastasis, before initial treatment, were recorded. Tumor tissues were further processed, and data on molecular testing (EGFR; ex19, ex 20, ex21 L858R) were extracted. Correlation between molecular status and anatomic sites of mets was assessed.

      We reviewed 206 pts with stage IV NSCLC, EGFR positive. Further molecular analysis: Ex 19 (n = 118 + 57.2%), Ex 20 ( n = 20 + 9.7%) , Ex 21 L 858R (n = 69; 33.4%). Most frequent mets sites were bone (28.2%), lung (27.9%), brain (22.8%) and supraclavicular lmph (18.2%). Pts with Ex20 had more brain mets (38.9% ) than pts with ex21 (7%), for ex 20 no significant result. Statistic significance was Ex20 with lymp supraclavicular (p = 0.006), Ex20 with effusion pericardi (p = 0.021). Interesting Ex21 L858R with meta hepatis (p = 0.044) and Ex19with meta hepatis (p = 0.083).

      Molecular status of NSCLC is associated with biological behavior. Most frequent meta site were bone, at diagnosis 39.2% of EGFR + pts. Because of better prognosis for EGFR+ pts screening and prevention of skeletal-related events in NSCLC pts is reasonable.
