Proton pump inhibitors reduce the survival of advanced lung cancer patients with therapy of gefitinib or erlotinib

Published date:
04/29/2022
Excerpt:
CONTRADICTING EVIDENCE: PPI group had the shortest median OS and TTNT compared to the H2RA and non-user groups (in gefitinib cohort: OS: 14.35 vs. 17.67 vs. 21.87 months; P < 0.0001, TTNT: 8.47 vs. 10.78 vs. 10.33 months; P < 0.0001); (in erlotinib cohort: OS: 16.97 vs. 20.07 vs. 23.92 months; P < 0.0001...Concurrent use of PPIs with first-line gefitinib or erlotinib therapy was associated with a worse OS and TTNT in patients with lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR mutations.

Treatment Effectiveness and Tolerability of Long-term Adjuvant First- and Second-Generation Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor at Different Doses in Patients With Stage IIA–IIIB Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor-Mutated Lung Adenocarcinoma: A Retrospective Study

Published date:
03/11/2022
Excerpt:
...patients with stage II–III EGFR-mutated adenocarcinoma who underwent cancer resection surgery at a single center were enrolled....The initial EGFR TKIs were mostly gefitinib (n = 25, 83%), and others were erlotinib (n = 3, 10%) and afatinib (n = 2, 6%). The mean disease-free survival (DFS) was 53.3 months. The 2- and 5-year DFS rate was 90.0 and 73.3%, respectively….To our knowledge, this study provides the longest experience of TKI in patients with resected EGFR mutations...

Clinical Implications of KRAS Mutations in Lung Cancer Patients Treated with Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors: An Important Role for Mutations in Minor Clones

Excerpt:
Eighty-three patients with lung adenocarcinoma treated with erlotinib or gefitinib were included in this study. Multivariate analysis using stepwise Cox regression confirmed that EGFR and KRAS mutations detected by ME-sequencing were the only two independent predictors of both PFS and OS.

Excerpt:
We report a case of 44-year-old gentleman diagnosed with locally advanced lung adenocarcinoma Stage T4N3 who was treated radically with chemoradiation therapy, followed by a relapse of solitary pancreatic metastasis, which was treated with targeted therapy, erlotinib, due to the presence of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation....This case reports an excellent radiological and symptomatic response in a patient who received erlotinib for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Erlotinib as a salvage treatment after gefitinib failure for advanced non-small-cell lung cancer patients with brain metastasis: A successful case report and review

Published date:

Excerpt:
He was histopathologically diagnosed stage IV lung adenocarcinoma with EGFR mutations...the intracranial progression of the patient rendered the treatment change to erlotinib….It is surprising that the tumor lesion in brain as well as lung relieved obviously. His progression-free survival (PFS)was nearly 11 months, and the overall survival (OS)was>36 months up to now.
