Detection of EGFR T790M Mutation in Pericardial Effusion from a Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patient with Erlotinib Therapy

چکیده
We report the case of a Japanese male with epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI)-sensitive lung adenocarcinoma, who had an EGFR mutation and presented in the emergency department with acute cardiac tamponade as the recurrence during EGFR-TKI therapy. We could detect a second mutation, T790M in exon 20 in the pericardial effusion. This is the first report to detect the resistant mutation T790M in pericardial effusion. We suggest that the pericardial effusion may therefore be useful as surrogate tissue for detecting EGFR mutation.

A 72-year-old woman was referred to our hospital with Stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Chest computed tomography revealed a mass in the upper lobe of the right lung, with pleural effusion. Cytologic examination identified adenocarcinoma cells in the right pleural effusion. Furthermore, both a deletion mutation in exon 19 and a threonine-methionine substitution mutation at position 7...

PURPOSE Tumors from 50% of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant non-small cell lung cancer patients that develop resistance to gefitinib or erlotinib will contain a secondary EGFR T790M mutation. As most patients do not undergo repeated tumor biopsies we evaluated whether EGFR T790M could be detected using plasma DNA. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN DNA from plasma of 54 patients with known cli...

BACKGROUND The feasibility of monitoring epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in plasma DNA from patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) during treatment with erlotinib and its relation to disease progression was investigated. METHODS The amount of EGFR-mutant DNA was tested in plasma DNA from patients with advanced NSCLC with allele-specific polymerase chain re...

A secondary epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation, the substitution of threonine 790 with methionine (T790M), leads to acquired resistance to reversible EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs). A non-invasive method for detecting T790M mutation would be desirable to direct patient treatment strategy. Plasma DNA samples were obtained after discontinuation of gefitinib or erlotinib...

The identification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations represented a fundamental step forward in the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as they define a subset of patients who benefit from the administration of specifically designed targeted therapies. The inhibition of mutant EGFR through EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), either reversible, first-ge...
