Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Gene Mutation in Pleural Lavage Cytology Findings of Primary Lung Adenocarcinoma Cases

Abstract: Purpose: In the present study, we examined the relationship between intraoperative pleural lavage cytology findings and presence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations. Methods: We investigated 160 patients who underwent surgical treatment for primary lung adenocarcinoma at our hospital from January 2011 to December 2013 to determine the presence of EGFR gene mutations and pleural lavage cytology. Results: In all, 52 subjects (31.5%) were positive EGFR gene mutations, of whom 38 were found t… Show more

“…The different mutation of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), a receptor belong to the ERBB family, would significantly affect the stage and treatment outcome in LADC which had been well-established in the previous studies [ 8 , 9 ]. The main EGFR mutation types are the L858R expression and Exon 19 in-frame deletion, which are associated with a better prognosis of LADC compared to the LADC with EGFR wild-type [ 10 , 11 , 12 ]. In addition to EGFR, the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of other genes would also correlate to different clinical characteristics and treatment outcome of LADC [ 13 , 14 ].…”

“…Regarding demographic and basic characteristics in the wild-type and mutated EGFR mutation populations, the ratios of female patients, nonsmokers, and those with better cell differentiation were observed in patients with LADC and mutated EGFR phenotypes. Female patients are more prone to lung cancer, including LADC [ 42 ], and EGFR mutations are predictors of favorable responses to target treatments [ 11 , 38 ]. This result implies that other genetic factors cause women to become vulnerable to LADC.…”

“…The clinicopathological characteristics between the two EGFR phenotype groups were largely similar and cell differentiation in both groups was typically moderate. The larger numbers of cases with well-differentiated LADC in the mutated EGFR group may have been related to the favorable response to treatment in this population [ 11 ].…”

“…Detection of tumor cells in pleural lavage of patients with early stage NSCLC has shown to be associated with shorter overall survival 4 . DNA obtained from pleural lavage material has proven to be appropriate to detect EGFR mutations, even in cases in which tumor cells were not microscopically detected in the lavage 5 . To the best of our knowledge, detection of microRNAs (miRNAs) has not been attempted in this type of material.…”
