摘　　要：Background:Epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) mutations,including a known exon 19 deletion(19 del) and exon 21 L858 R point mutation(L858R mutation),are strong predictors of the response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor(EGFR-TKI) treatment in lung adenocarcinoma.However,whether patients carrying EGFR 19 del and L858 R mutations exhibit different responsiveness to EGFR-TKls and what are the potential mechanism for this difference remain controversial.This study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of EGFR-TKI treatment in patients with EGFR 19 del and L858 R mutations and explore the genetic heterogeneity of tumors with the two mutation subtypes.Methods:Of 1127 patients with advanced lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR 19 del or L858 R mutations,532 received EGFR-TKI treatment and were included in this study.EGFR 19 del and L858 R mutations were detected by using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography(DHPLC).T790 M mutation,which is a common resistant mutation on exon 20 of EGFR,was detected by amplification refractory mutation system(ARMS).Next-generation sequencing(NGS) was used to explore the genetic heterogeneity of tumors with EGFR 19 del and L858 R mutations.Results:Of the 532 patients,319(60.0%) had EGFR 19 del,and 213(40.0%) had L858 R mutations.The patients with EGFR 19 del presented a significantly higher overall response rate(ORR) for EGFR-TKI treatment(55.2%vs.43.7%,P = 0.017) and had a longer progression-free survival(PFS) after first-line EGFR-TKI treatment(14.4 vs.11.4 months,P = 0.034) compared with those with L858 R mutations.However,no statistically significant difference in overall survival(OS) was observed between the two groups of patients.T790 M mutation status was analyzed in 88 patients before EGFR-TKI treatment and 134 after EGFR-TKI treatment,and there was no significant difference in the co-existence of T790 M mutation with EGFR 19 del and L858 R mutations before EGFR-TKI treatment(5.6%vs.8.8%,P = 0.554)or after treatment(24.4%vs.35.4%,P = 0.176).In addition,24 patieBackground: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations, including a known exon 19 deletion (19 del) and exon 21 L858R point mutation (L858R mutation), are strong predictors of the response to EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) treatment in lung adenocarcinoma.
