[Management of EGFR mutated non-small cell lung carcinoma patients]. / Analyse de la prise en charge des cancers bronchiques avec mutation du gène de l'EGFR.

INTRODUCTION: Mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene are commonly observed in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Over the past decade, the management of NSCLC-carrying EGFR mutation has evolved considerably with the use of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). The main objective of this retrospective study was to analyze the evolution of therapeutic strategies in a cohort of patients with metastatic or locally advanced EGFR- mutated NSCLC. METHODS: Data on patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC, eligible for TKIs, and treated between 2010 to 2019 were collected. The main therapeutic strategies adopted following progression under TKIs and the prognostic factors for survival were analyzed. RESULTS: The median age of the 177 patients was included in the cohort was 70years. The majority of patients (77.4%) received TKIs as first-line treatment, while 16.4% received chemotherapy. Osimertinib initiation as second-line treatment was a factor for better prognosis (OR=0.5). Finally, change of chemotherapy line was the main therapeutic strategy adopted for 41.3% of the patients having relapsed under TKIs. DISCUSSION: Therapeutic management of EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients was in accordance with regional, national and international recommendations. The characterization of progression under TKI therapy has become systematic, allowing better adaption of therapeutic strategies.
