Abstract

Mutations in epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are strongly predictive of gefitinib efficacy in non-small-cell lung cancer. However, the presence of EGFR mutant nonresponses and nonmutant responses points out the need for more comprehensive analysis. For 69 non-small-cell lung cancer patients treated with gefitinib, we have extended our analysis to EGFR gene copy number by fluorescence in situ hybridization, mutations in K-ras, HER2, and exon 20 of EGFR by direct sequencing, and phosphatase and tensin homologue expression by immunohistochemistry, in addition to EGFR exons 18, 19, and 21, and phosphorylations of Akt and extracellular signal-regulated kinase reported previously. EGFR mutation and high gene copy number were associated with better objective response in univariate analysis. However, only gefitinib-sensitive EGFR mutation was independently predictive of both response (P = 0.011) and survival (P = 0.002) in multivariate analysis. No patients with K-ras mutation, including two EGFR mutants, showed response. In EGFR nonmutants, patients with either K-ras mutation or p-Akt overexpression exhibited poor response and time-to-progression whereas patients with high gene copy number tended to have better outcomes in uni...Continue Reading
