Background. The adrenal glands are one of the most common sites of metastases in malignant disease, particularly lung cancer. The frequency of adrenal metastasis in patients with breast cancer and lung cancer reaches 39 and 35 % respectively.Materials and methods. A total of 156 patients with adrenal tumors underwent surgical treatment in the Siberian State Medical University between December 1998 and July 2017. The study included 16 (10.2 %) patients (9 males and 7 females) with adrenal metastases. The mean age of study participants was 57.6 years (range: 44–73 years).Results. By the moment of surgery, the mean metastatic adrenal tumor size was 4.9 ± 3.0 cm (range: 1.0–10.2 cm). Thirteen out of 16 patients had adrenal metastases from renal cell carcinoma, one patient – from colon cancer, one patient – from lung cancer, and one patient – from breast cancer. Nine patients had left-sided adrenal metastases, whereas six patients had right-sided adrenal metastases. Synchronous adrenal metastasis was detected in two cases: one patient had adrenal metastasis at the side of the renal tumor; the other one had bilateral renal cell carcinoma with both adrenal glands affected.We identified three main variants of the disease course according to prevailing clinical manifestations of adrenal metastasis: no manifestations, pain syndrome, and arterial hypertension.Seven participants had no clinical manifestations; of them, 6 patients had renal cell carcinoma, whereas 1 patient had breast cancer. The mean time between surgical removal of the primary tumor and detection of adrenal metastases was 24.1 months; the mean tumor size was 4.5 cm.Pain syndrome was observed in 5 patients. In three of them, adrenal metastases derived from renal cell carcinoma, in one patient – from lung cancer, and in one patient – from colon cancer. The mean time between removal of the primary tumor and detection of adrenal metastases was 19.8 months; the mean tumor size was 5.4 cm.Arterial hypertension was diagnosed in four patients. The mean time between removal of the primary tumor and identification of adrenal metastases was 27.3 months; the mean tumor size was 4.1 cm. The five-year overall survival rate in operated patient was 47.8 %.Conclusion. Regular examinations of patients after surgical treatment of malignant tumors are needed to detect adrenal metastases; surgery can extend the patient’s life. can extend the patient’s life.

9086 Background: Brain metastases (BM) frequently occur in patients (pts) with epidermal growth factor receptor mutated non-small cell lung cancer (EGFRm NSCLC) and represent a poor prognostic marker. This study aimed to describe the clinical characteristics, treatment patterns and survival outcomes in EGFRm NSCLC pts treated with 1st or 2nd generation tyrosine-kinases inhibitors (TKIs) in first-line (1L). Methods: The retrospective real-world study REFLECT (NCT04031898) collected data from 896 pts initiating 1L TKI between 1 January 2015-30 June 2018 in Europe and Israel. Descriptive statistics were used to assess demographic and clinical characteristics in subgroups of patients with and without BM. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to estimate median real world progression free survival (mPFS) and overall survival (mOS) from start of 1L. Results: Out of 896 pts, 198 (22.1%) had BM at start of 1L, 134 (15%) developed BM later (any time), and 564 (62.9%) had no sign of BM at the time of data collection. Among pts who later developed BM the median time between the start of 1L and first diagnosis of BM was 13.5 months. Median duration of follow-up was 21.5 months. Of 332 pts with BM at any time 64.2% were female, similar to the ratio in pts without BM (64.0%). At diagnosis, median age was 65 years in pts with BM vs. 70 in those who never developed BM. Of pts with BM at any time, 50.9% had exon 19 deletion, 30.4% L858R point mutation and 18.7 % uncommon EGFR mutations at baseline, compared to 56.6%, 31.7% and 11.7% in pts without BM, respectively. At data collection, 94.9% of the pts with BM at diagnosis had progressed compared to 79.8% among those with no BM. Overall, whole brain radiation was the most frequently used treatment for BM (31.0%) followed by stereotactic radiosurgery (18.1%) and targeted therapies (13.3%). T790M testing rates were highest among pts developing BM later (85.7%) and lowest among those with BM from start (66.1%). The T790M positivity rate was highest in pts developing BM later (65.7%) and lowest among those with BM from start (50.4%). More pts received osimertinib in later lines among those with BM at any time compared to those without BM (51.3% vs 43.8%). Median real world PFS and OS (95% CI) were shorter among pts with BM at baseline compared to those never developing BM: 10.2 (8.8, 11.5) vs 15.2 (13.7, 16.1) months, and 19.4 (17.1, 22.1) vs 30.3 (27.1, 33.8) months, respectively. At the time of data collection, 77.3% of pts with BM at baseline were deceased compared to 52.5% pts with no BM. Conclusions: More than one third of pts included in REFLECT had BM at any time. Uncommon EGFR variants at baseline were observed more frequently in pts with BM. mPFS and mOS were shorter in pts with BM at baseline compared to those never developing BM. These data highlight the need for improved treatment and CNS control in pts with EGFRm NSCLC. Clinical trial information: NCT04031898.

PURPOSE To determine whether the clinical course and the response to chemotherapy of patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the lung depends on the presence or absence of a ras mutation in the tumor. Mutational activation of K-ras is a strong adverse prognostic factor in stage I or II lung cancer and laboratory studies have suggested that ras mutations lead to resistance against ionizing radiation and chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with advanced adenocarcinoma of the lung with measurable or assessable disease received chemotherapy with mesna, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (MICE). Archival biopsies, fresh biopsies, or fine-needle aspirations were tested for the presence of ras gene mutations. Associations of ras mutations with clinical characteristics, response to chemotherapy, and survival were studied. RESULTS The presence or absence of ras gene mutations could be established in 69 of 83 patients (83%). A total of 261 courses of MICE were administered to 62 informative patients, 16 of whom were shown to have a K-ras mutation-positive tumor. The frequency of mutations (26%) and the type of mutations closely matched the pattern we have previously reported in operable disease. Patients with a ras mutation in their tumor were more likely to have a close relative with lung cancer, but other clinical characteristics, such as pattern of metastases, response, and survival, were similar between the ras mutation-positive and ras mutation-negative groups. CONCLUSION Patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma who harbor a ras mutation may have major responses to chemotherapy and have similar progression-free and overall survival as patients with ras mutation-negative tumors. K-ras mutations may represent one of several ways in which early tumors are enabled to metastasize to distant sites.
