Abstract

Lung adenocarcinomas responsive to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors possess EGFR mutations and often increased EGFR copy number. We prospectively studied 334 clinical cases using polymerase chain reaction-based assays to detect deletions within exon 19 and the L858R mutation in exon 21, which together account for approximately 90% of EGFR mutations. Seventy-eight (23%) of these tumors had an EGFR mutation, with 55 (71%) exon 19 deletions and 23 (29%) exon 21 L858R mutations. We were able to compare mutant and normal EGFR alleles and found a preferential amplification of the mutant allele. The association of mutations with EGFR amplification (determined by chromogenic in situ hybridization) and EGFR expression (determined by immunohistochemistry) was further examined in a subset of 60 tumors. EGFR amplification (> or =5 EGFR signals per nucleus) was seen in 15 of 29 (52%) EGFR-mutated tumors but in only five of 31 (6%) non-mutated tumors (P = 0.006). EGFR overexpression was strongly associated with amplification but was statistically independent of EGFR mutation. Most patients with EGFR mutations (17 of 29, 59%) never smoked compared with 13% (four of 31) of patients lacking such mutations (P = ...Continue Reading
