Resumen

En el cáncer de pulmón de células no pequeñas (CPCNP) con mutación clásica de EGFR, los inhibidores de la tirosina quinasa (TKI) de EGFR produce mejores resultados que la quimioterapia basada en platino. Sin embargo, la eficacia terapéutica es bastante diferente en pacientes con mutaciones de inserción del exón 20 del EGFR (ex20ins) versus mutaciones comunes. Los pacientes con mutaciones ex20ins son insensibles a los EGFR-TKI y tienen mal pronóstico. Es importante conocer las características demográficas y clínicas en este grupo de pacientes y la prevalencia en nuestra región. Metodología: Revisión retrospectiva, única instituciónal, serie de casos de pacientes con cáncer de pulmón de células no pequeñas con mutaciones de inserción del exón 20 desde 2017-2023. Los pacientes habían recibido terapia de primera línea para enfermedad avanzada y tuvieron estudios de imágenes para evaluar la respuesta. Se registraron los datos demográficos, las características y tratamiento de cada paciente. La respuesta al tratamiento se evaluó utilizando los criterios RECIST v1.1 y la supervivencia global se calculó mediante el método de Kaplan Meier. Resultados: Entre los 15 pacientes identificados con cáncer de pulmón de células no pequeñas con mutaciones de inserción del exón 20 en nuestra institución, la incidencia para la mutación fue del 1.5%. La edad promedio fue de 60 años, el 46,7% eran mujeres, 14 pacientes hispanos y 1 paciente asiático, solo 3 pacientes tenían antecedentes de tabaquismo. El 40% de los pacientes tuvo una escala funcional según el Grupo Cooperativo de Oncología Oriental (ECOG) de 2. El subtipo histológico fue adenocarcinoma en todos los casos. De los 13 (86.7%) pacientes que recibieron tratamiento de primera línea, se les realizaron exploraciones evaluables para determinar la respuesta, 11 progresaron, 1 paciente obtuvo enfermedad estable y otro tuvo respuesta parcial. La mediana de supervivencia global (SG) fue de 5 meses. Conclusiones: Los pacientes con mutaciones de inserción del exón 20 tienen resistencia a los inhibidores de tirosina quinasa, lo cual le confiere un peor pronóstico. Es vital conocer en nuestra región la incidencia de la mutación y las características de los pacientes para ofrecer un diagnóstico y tratamiento oportuno. Nuestros resultados proporcionan un contexto importante para el desarrollo de nuevas terapias que puedan aprobarse en primera línea de tratamiento y no en líneas subsecuentes.


Abstract

In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with classical EGFR mutation, EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) produce better results than platinum-based chemotherapy. However, therapeutic efficacy is quite different in patients with EGFR exon 20 insertion mutations (ex20ins) versus common mutations. Patients with ex20ins mutations are insensitive to EGFR-TKIs and have poor prognosis. It is important to know the demographic and clinical characteristics in this group of patients and the prevalence in our region. Methodology: retrospective, single institution, case series review of patients with non-small cell lung cancer with exon 20 insertion mutations from 2017-2023. Patients had received first-line therapy for advanced disease and had imaging studies to assess response. Demographics, characteristics, and treatment of each patient were recorded. Treatment response was assessed using RECIST v1.1 criteria and overall survival was calculated using the Kaplan Meier method. Results: Among the 15 patients identified with non-small cell lung cancer with exon 20 insertion mutations at our institution, the incidence for the mutation was 1.5%. The mean age was 60 years, 46.7% were women, and the incidence of the mutation was 1.5%. The average age was 60 years, 46.7% were women, 14 patients were Hispanic and 1 patient was Asian, only 3 patients had a history of smoking. Forty percent of the patients had an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) functional score of 2. The histologic subtype was adenocarcinoma in all cases. Of the 13 (86.7%) patients who received first-line treatment had evaluable scans to determine response, 11 progressed, 1 patient had stable disease, and 1 patient had a partial response. The median overall survival (OS) was 5 months. Conclusions: Patients with exon 20 insertion mutations have resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors, which confers a worse prognosis. It is vital to know in our region the incidence of the mutation and patient characteristics to provide timely diagnosis and treatment. Our results provide an important context for the development of new therapies that can be approved in the first line of treatment and not in subsequent lines.
