Prevalence of ROS1 translocation, HER2, and BRAF mutations in a cohort of advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients (p) triple negative (TN).

2015 
e22139 Background: During the last years, new predictive and less frequent biomarkers have emerged in NSCLC, such as ROS1 translocation (ROS1t), HER2 mutations (HER2m) and BRAF mutations (BRAFm). We analyze retrospectively the frequency, clinical and tumor characteristics of NSCLC p TN( EGFR, KRAS and ALK wild-type). Methods: The study included data from all consecutive non-squamous and non-smokers squamous TN advanced NSCLC p diagnosed at our hospital from December 2008 to July 2014. Results: 101 p were included. The table below summarizes p characteristics. ROS1t were found in 4.9% p and were found more in female gender (100%), non-smokers(100%), stage IV (100%), adenocarcinoma histology (100%) and p had more lung metastasis(50% vs 34.2%), brain metastasis (50%vs 38.5%) and pleural/pericardial effusions (50% vs 12.8%). HER2m was found in 1 p (1.25%). Female, non-smoker and adenocarcinoma histology. BRAFm were found in 2 p ( 3.2%), one male and one female, smokers and adenocarcinoma histology. Valid resu...
