2 Case 1 Case # 1 NSCLC detected at an early stage, with an EGFR mutation A 45 yo never-smoking woman originally from India presents with increasing cough. She has no response to antibiotics. After 1 month a CXR shows a LUL mass. A CT scan confirms a 3 cm LUL mass A PET shows uptake in the mass + in the left hilum She tolerates a left upper lobectomy without complications with final pathology confirming a 2.5 cm adenocarcinoma with 3 positive hilar LNs, /14 mediastinal nodes: T2bN1M stage IIA CXR = chest x-ray; LUL = left upper lobe; CT = computed tomography; PET = positron emission tomography; LN = lymph node. Case 1: Question 1 Would you obtain testing to guide choice of adjuvant chemotherapy? If so, which biomarkers would you test for? A. Yes, ERCC1 B. Yes, ERCC1 / RRM1 C. Yes, ERCC1 / RRM1 / TS D.

She tolerates it reasonably well and does well for 2 years. Unfortunately 2 years later she develops increasing dyspnea and is found to have a pleural effusion. Analysis of the effusion is consistent with recurrent adenocarcinoma. NS = never-smoking Case 1: Question 3 The patient is now 47 years old. A PET and brain MRI reveal disease limited to the left lung with extensive pleural involvement and mediastinal adenopathy. EGFR testing was repeated and she is found to have an EGFR exon 19 deletion. What would be your choice of therapy (assuming her effusion is controlled)? A. Erlotinib B. Afatinib C. Carboplatin/pemetrexed D. Carboplatin/paclitaxel/bevacizumab E. Erlotinib or Afatinib Detecting EGFR Mutations in NSCLC NSCLC patients with the somatic mutation of EGFR have been shown to be hyper-responsive to the EGFR TKIs The most common NSCLC-associated EGFR mutations are: in-frame deletion in exon 19 (E746-A75del) point mutation in exon 21 (L858R) These account for 85- of EGFR mutations Yu et al; 28 Molecular Markers Meeting; Abstract No 64.
