Abstract Introduction: Gene expression profiling has consistently identified three molecular subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma that have prognostic implications. To facilitate stratification of patients with this disease into similar molecular subtypes, we developed and validated a simple, mutually exclusive classification. Methods: Mutational status of EGFR, KRAS, and TP53 was used to define six mutually exclusive molecular subtypes. A development cohort of 283 cytology specimens of lung adenocarcinoma was used to evaluate the associations between the proposed classification and clinicopathologic variables including demographic characteristics, smoking history, fluorescence in situ hybridization and molecular results. For validation and prognostic assessment, 63 of the 283 cytology specimens with available survival data were combined with a separate cohort of 428 surgical pathology specimens of lung adenocarcinoma. Results: The proposed classification yielded significant associations between these molecular subtypes and clinical and prognostic features. We found better overall survival in patients who underwent surgery and had tumors enriched for EGFR mutations. Worse overall survival was associated with older age, stage IV disease, and tumors with co- mutations in KRAS and TP53. Interestingly, neither chemotherapy nor radiation therapy showed benefit to overall survival. Conclusions: The mutational status of EGFR, KRAS, and TP53 can be used to easily classify lung adenocarcinoma patients into six subtypes that show a relationship with prognosis, especially in patients who underwent surgery, and these subtypes are similar to classifications based on more complex genomic methods reported previously.

Purpose BRAF mutations occur in non–small-cell lung cancer. Therapies targeting BRAF mutant tumors have recently been identified. We undertook this study to determine the clinical characteristics of patients with lung adenocarcinomas harboring BRAF mutations. Patients and Methods We reviewed data from consecutive patients with lung adenocarcinoma whose tumors underwent BRAF, EGFR, and KRAS mutation testing as well as fluorescence in situ hybridization for ALK rearrangements. Patient characteristics including age, sex, race, performance status, smoking history, stage, treatment history, and overall survival were collected. Results Among 697 patients with lung adenocarcinoma, BRAF mutations were present in 18 patients (3%; 95% CI, 2% to 4%). The BRAF mutations identified were V600E (50%), G469A (39%), and D594G (11%). Mutations in EGFR were present in 24%, KRAS in 25%, and ALK translocations in 6%. In contrast to patients with EGFR mutations and ALK rearrangements who were mostly never smokers, all patients with BRAF mutations were current or former smokers (P < .001). The median overall survival of advanced-stage patients with BRAF mutations was not reached. In comparison, the median overall survival of patients with EGFR mutations was 37 months (P = .73), with KRAS mutations was 18 months (P = .12), and with ALK rearrangements was not reached (P = .64). Conclusion BRAF mutations occur in 3% of patients with lung adenocarcinoma and occur more commonly in current and former smokers. The incidence of BRAF mutations other than V600E is significantly higher in lung cancer than in melanoma.

e19154 Background: KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene (25%) in lung adenocarcinoma. KRAS mutations are a negative prognostic factor for survival. Recent phase II trial with a MEK inhibitor has shown promising efficacy albeit at the cost of higher adverse events. Preclinical work by Moran et al showed that antifolate therapies like pemetrexed decrease KRAS gene expression in KRAS wild type and KRAS mutant but do not do so in KRAS mutant amplified cells. Targeted therapies for EGFR, ALK and ROS1 have increased the survival for lung adenocarcinoma expressing these actionable targets. No therapies are yet approved for KRAS mutant subsets. Hence therapeutic strategies that target this cohort represent an unmet medical need. Methods: We reviewed data from patients (pts) in our thoracic oncology clinic with stage IIIB and stage IV lung adenocarcinoma with KRAS mutation positive tumours who received pemetrexed either during induction or maintenance therapy. Pt characteristics including age, sex, race, smoking history, KRAS mutation subtype and overall survival were analyzed. Results: Between April 2010 and October 2012 we treated 154 pts with stage IIIB and stage IV lung adenocarcinoma. Of these 154 pts we found 34 patients with KRAS mutation positive tumours. 10 pts out of 34 pts with KRAS mutation positive tumours received pemetrexed during induction or maintenance therapy and were analyzed further. Median age 63. 60% females. 90% Caucasians. 90% were smokers. KRAS 12C mutation was found in 2 pts, KRAS 12V in 4, KRAS 12A in 3 and KRAS 13A in 1 pt. 4(40%) patients died. Median overall survival (OS) in the KRAS 12C, 12V, 12A and 13A was 14, 9.5, 10 and 12 months respectively. Conclusions: The median OS in published series is 15.4, 14, 8 and 7 months in the KRAS 12C, 12V, 12A and 13A cohorts respectively (Rosell et al). Our analysis found that pts with KRAS 12C, 12A and 13A mutation had a survival advantage with pemetrexed therapy as compared to pts with KRAS 12V mutation. Thus this retrospective study supports the concept that KRAS mutation status affects sensitivity to antifolate therapy (pemetrexed).

Background: Patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have considerably benefited from the molecular identification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) mutations and subsequent targeted therapy against these biomarkers. Few studies have been undertaken in the Indian population on the analysis of both EGFR and ALK mutations in lung adenocarcinoma cases. Aim and Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of EGFR and ALK mutations in lung adenocarcinoma patients, as well as to link mutational status with age, sex, and smoking history. Materials and Methods: This single hospital-based retrospective study was conducted at the Department of Medical Oncology, Acharya Harihar Post Graduate Institute of Cancer, Cuttack, on histologically proven lung adenocarcinoma cases over a duration of two years from 01.08.2019 to 31.07.2021. Results: Out of a total of 164 cases, males comprised 89 (54.26%) of the 164 lung adenocarcinoma cases, while females comprised 75 (45.73%). EGFR mutations were found in 42 (26.75%) of the patients. In 9 cases, the ALK gene rearrangement was also determined to be positive (5.66%). In terms of EGFR and ALK mutations, there was no statistically significant relationship between patient age and gender. (P-value < 0.05). In our research, we found a link between nonsmokers and EGFR and ALK mutations. (P-value <0.05). The deletion of exon 19 (76.19%) was the most prevalent mutation, followed by the exon 21 L858R mutation (14.28%). Conclusion: This study was found to have a significantly higher rate of EGFR and ALK mutation in the Indian population with adenocarcinoma of lung compared to Western populations. To get the maximum benefit from targeted therapies, all patients of adenocarcinoma of the lung should have mutational testing for EGFR and ALK as part of a broad molecular pannel.

e19006 Background: Pts who respond to the EGFR- tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI's) frequently have activating mutations in the kinase domain of EGFR or EGFR overexpression. EGFR activating mutations correlate with adenocarcinoma histology, non-smoking history, female gender, and Asian ethnicity. The presence of EGFR kinase domain mutations is predictive of response but, the relationship is not always concordant. Furthermore, mutations may not predict survival benefit with TKI therapy and other factors are likely involved. It has also been determined that EGFR and met can crosstalk, and serve as potential mechanism of resistance in NSCLC. Most data collected to date on response and overall survival with EGFR-TKI's have been in the Caucasian or Asian community. Hence we collected data specific to the AA pt as they tend to have worse outcomes stage for stage. The purpose of this study is to report the response rate, overall survival, progression free survival (PFS) and clinical characteristics of AA pts with NSCLC treated with an EGFR-TKI. We will correlate these data with EGFR mutation and c-Met expression/mutations/amplifications for markers of NSCLC. Methods: We have listed patients with NSCLC receiving E therapy over the past 5 years. We then retrospectively collected demographic data (age, race, sex, and tobacco history), tumor histology, response rates, survival data and duration of response from AA pts treated with E as single agent. The response to E was correlated with outcome. Results: Data from 44 AA pts (27 women, 17 men) on erlotinib were reviewed. Mean age was 67.1 years (range 48–89 yrs), tobacco use (37 positive, 3 negative, and 4 not recorded). Histology included NSCLC not specified-14, squamous cell- 16, adenocarcinoma-11, large cell-1 and 2 not available. Overall response rate of 13.6% (6-PR, 16-SD, 18-progessive disease, and 4 patients lost to follow up). The PFS was 4.0 months; 95% CI: (2.5–6.6 mos) and overall survival 8.6 mos; 95% CI: (7.2–30.9 mos). EGFR mutations and c-Met analysis will be provided by ASCO meeting in May 2009. Conclusions: AA survival and response rates appear similar to previous data seen with all NSCLC patients receiving treatment with EGFR-TKI's. More data and relationship to biomarkers is needed in this population. [Table: see text]

Patients with lung adenocarcinoma harboring common epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations usually have a good response rate (RR) and longer progression-free survival (PFS) to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). However, the treatment efficacy to uncommon EGFR mutations remains controversial. We, therefore, performed a retrospective study, screening 2958 patients. A total of 67 patients with lung adenocarcinoma harboring uncommon EGFR mutations were enrolled and 57 patients with stage IV diseases receiving a first-line EGFR TKI were included for further analyses. The patients were classified into 27 (47%) “a single sensitizing uncommon mutation”, 7 (12%) “multiple sensitizing mutations”, 5 (9%) “a sensitizing mutation and a resistant uncommon mutation”, and 18 (32%) “other resistant uncommon mutations”. No significant difference was noted in PFS or overall survival (OS) between groups. Patients receiving different first-line EGFR TKIs had similar PFS and OS. The elder patients had a significantly poorer performance status than the younger patients but a significantly longer PFS than the younger patients (median PFS: 10.5 vs. 5.5 months, p = 0.0320). In conclusion, this is the first study to identify that elderly patients with stage IV lung adenocarcinoma harboring uncommon EGFR mutation might have a longer PFS. Large-scale prospective studies are mandatory to prove our findings.

Golgi membrane protein 1 (GOLM1) is a transmembrane glycoprotein of the Golgi cisternae, which is implicated in carcinogenesis of multiple types of cancer. In this study, using data from the Gene Expression Omnibus and The Cancer Genome Atlas, we compared the expression of GOLM1 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) and lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) and studied its prognostic value in terms of overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) in these 2 subtypes of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Results showed that GOLM1 was significantly upregulated in both LUAD and LUSC tissues compared to the normal controls. However, GOLM1 expression was higher in LUAD tissues than in LUSC tissues. More importantly, using over 10 years’ survival data from 502 patients with LUAD and 494 patients with LUSC, we found that high GOLM1 expression was associated with unfavorable OS and RFS in patients with LUAD, but not in patients with LUSC. The following univariate and multivariate analyses confirmed that increased GOLM1 expression was an independent prognostic indicator of poor OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.30, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.11-1.54, P = .002) and RFS (HR: 1.37, 95% CI: 1.14-1.64, P = .001) in patients with LUAD. Of 511 cases with LUAD, 248 (48.5%) had heterozygous loss (−1), while 28 (5.5%) of 511 cases with LUAD had low-level copy gain (+1). In addition, we also found that the methylation status of 1 CpG site (chr9: 88,694,942-88,694,944) showed a weak negative correlation with GOLM1 expression (Pearson r = −0.25). Based on these findings, we infer that GOLM1 might serve as a valuable prognostic biomarker in LUAD, but not in LUSC. In addition, DNA copy number alterations and methylation might be 2 important mechanisms of dysregulated GOLM1 in LUAD.
