The Effect of Gene Alterations and Tyrosine Kinase Inhibition on Survival and Cause of Death in Patients with Adenocarcinoma of the Lung and Brain Metastases
Abstract Purpose Lung cancer remains the most common cause of both cancer mortality and brain metastases (BM). The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of gene alterations and tyrosine kinase inhibition (TKI) on median survival (MS) and cause of death (CoD) in patients with BM from lung ad...

Zusammenfassung: | Abstract Purpose Lung cancer remains the most common cause of both cancer mortality and brain metastases (BM). The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of gene alterations and tyrosine kinase inhibition (TKI) on median survival (MS) and cause of death (CoD) in patients with BM from lung adenocarcinoma (L-adeno). Methods A multi-institutional retrospective database of L-Adeno patients and newly diagnosed BM between 2006-2014 was created. Demographics, gene alterations, treatment, MS and CoD were analyzed. Treatment patterns and outcomes were compared to prior trials. Results Of 1521 L-adeno patients, 816 (54%) had known alteration status. Gene alteration rates were 29, 10, 26% for EGFR, ALK, KRAS, respectively. Time from primary diagnosis to BM for EGFR -/+ was 10/15 months (p=0.02) and for ALK -/+ was 10/20 (p |
