ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
We retrospectively assessed the role of C-MET expression and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation on survival following platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy. The impact of C-MET on survival was also investigated in relation to EGFR mutation status.METHODS:
We enrolled 311 patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma (high-risk stage 1B-3A), and performed immunohistochemistry (IHC) using C-MET- and mutant EGFR (EGFRmut)-specific antibodies in tissue microarrays.RESULTS:
Adjuvant chemotherapy was administered to 151 patients, 96 of whom relapsed and 85 died by the end of the study. On IHC, C-MET and EGFRmut were positive in 141 (45.3 %) and 88 (28.3 %) cases, respectively. On univariate analysis, adjuvant chemotherapy prolonged relapse-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) in C-MET(+) patients (RFS p = 0.035; OS p = 0.013) but not in C-MET(-) patients. On multivariate analysis, adjuvant chemotherapy was a positive independent prognostic factor in C-MET(+) (RFS p = 0.013; OS p = 0.006) but not in C-MET(-) patients. In addition, univariate analysis showed no effect of EGFRmut status on RFS and OS after chemotherapy, whereas multivariate analysis revealed that adjuvant chemotherapy increased RFS in both EGFRmut(+) and EGFRmut(-) patients [EGFRmut(+) p = 0.033; EGFRmut(-) p = 0.030]. C-MET was a negative prognostic factor for RFS (p = 0.045) and OS (p = 0.007) in the EGFRmut(-) group but not in the EGFRmut(+) group, on multivariate analysis.CONCLUSIONS:
Our data indicate that patients with C-MET overexpression should be considered for adjuvant chemotherapy, and that C-MET negatively correlates with survival in patients with wild-type, but not mutant, EGFR.
