      P2.17-39 - Relationship Between EGFR Mutation and Pathological Differentiation in Patients with Clinical Stage IA Lung Adenocarcinoma (ID 3008)

      10:15 - 18:15  |  Presenting Author(s): Junichiro Osawa

      • Abstract

      Background

      Pathological differentiation is an established prognostic factor for patients with lung

      adenocarcinoma. There are some correlations between epidermal growth factor receptor

      (EGFR) mutations and pathological differentiation. EGFR mutation-positive

      adenocarcinoma is considered to be highly differentiated types that show development

      of alveolar epithelial substitution. However, the distribution of pathological

      differentiation and the prognostic impact of the presence or absence of EGFR mutations

      in early adenocarcinoma are not clear.

      Method

      We collected the records of 569 patients who underwent surgical resection for clinical

      stage ⅠA lung adenocarcinoma between 2008 and 2015, and were also examined their

      EGFR mutation status.

      Based on the presence or absence of EGFR mutations and pathological differentiation

      (well;G1/moderately;G2/poorly;G3), patients were categorized into 6 groups: EGFR

      mutation positive (E+) with G1, E+ with G2, E+ with G3, EGFR mutation negative (E-)

      with G1, E- with G2, E- with G3. We examined the distribution of each group, 

      clinicopathological features and prognosis.

      Result

      303 lung adenocarcinoma had EGFR mutations. The distribution was

      E+/G1:85,E+/G2:209,E+/G3:9,E-/G1:50,E-/G2:178,E-/G3:38. E+/G3 group was

      significantly fewer (P<0.001). The 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were

      95% in E+/G1 group, 78% in E+/G2 group, 33% in E+/G3 group, 100% in E-/G1

      group, 75% in E-/G2 group, 61% in E-/G3 group. The 5-year overall survival (OS) rates

      were 98% in E+/G1 group, 91% in E+/G2 group, 44% in E+/G3 group, 100% in E-/G1

      group, 87% in E-/G2 group, 79% in E-/G3 group. The prognosis was significantly

      worse in the E+/G3 group. There were more women (77%) and non-smokers (89%) in

      the E+/G3 group. Six patients (66%) had recurrence, and in all cases EGFR-TKI was

      administered and the response rate was 100%.

      Conclusion

      Most of the c-IA EGFR positive adenocarcinomas were highly differentiated, and

      significantly fewer poorly differentiated cases. Among the poorly differentiated group,

      EGFR gene mutation positive is particularly poor prognosis. However, The therapeutic

      effect of EGFR-TKI was not different from other EGFR positive patients.
