Changes in survival of patients with non–small cell lung cancer in Japan: An interrupted time series study

Abstract: The epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) gefitinib and erlotinib were approved for metastatic or relapsed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Japan in 2002 and 2007, respectively. EGFR mutation testing was also approved in 2007. Although clinical trials showed efficacy in NSCLC patients harboring activating EGFR mutations, these effects have rarely been reported in real-world practice. We evaluated changes in survival in NSCLC patients following introduction of these agents… Show more

“…NSCLC is an uncompromising type of lung cancer associated with limited treatment options. Drugs that inhibit tyrosine kinases EGFR (erlotinib, gefitinib, and afatinib) or ALK (crizotinib and ceritinib) have been approved for the treatment of NSCLC harbouring genetic modifications in the genes encoding these proteins [ 36 , 37 , 38 ]. Although these drugs are associated with a median progression-free survival of 9–14 months as compared to 5–7 months for platinum-based chemotherapy [ 39 , 40 , 41 ], improvements in overall survival have not been reported.…”

“…Protein kinases belong to an extensive superfamily, encompassing numerous kinases and isoforms. Kinase inhibitors have been employed in the treatment of various cancers including leukemia, breast cancer, melanoma, lung cancer, and renal cancer [29][30][31] . The Kinase Target analysis of SYNGR2-related genes revealed a higher enrichment score for the gene set containing ribosomal protein S6 kinase B6KB1).…”

“…In our research, we investigated the NCAPD3 expression in normal and NSCLC tissues according to histological type (categorized as LUAD or LUSC) and different tumor stages (classified as stage I-IV). Wherein, cancer stage I denotes that localized cancer confined to the primary site; stage II represents that cancer spread to regional lymph nodes; stage III indicates cancer spread to adjacent tissues; and stage IV indicates further spread to distant organs [ 16 ].…”
