Efficacy of Targeted Inhibitors in Metastatic Lung Squamous Cell Carcinoma With EGFR or ALK Alterations
Introduction: The efficacy of targeted therapies in oncogene-driven lung adenocarcinomas (LUADs) has been well established; however, the benefit for EGFR-mutant or ALK-rearranged lung squamous cell carcinomas (LUSCs) is less known, partially owing to the rarity of the incidence. Methods: We reviewed...

Methods: We reviewed the database of the MD Anderson Cancer Center and identified metastatic LUSC with classic EGFR or ALK alterations. Results: There were eight patients with EGFR-mutant LUSC (median age = 58 y) and six patients with EML4-ALK LUSC (median age = 50 y) who received tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that were identified. Of the 14 patients, 11 (79%) were females and 12 (86%) were never smokers, similar to the demographics of EGFR or ALK LUAD. With TKI treatment, seven of eight cases of EGFR LUSC and four of six cases of ALK LUSC achieved partial response or stable disease, but the progression-free survival was 4.9 months and 2.9 months for EGFR-mutant and ALK-rearranged LUSC, respectively. In addition, we compared comutation profile of EGFR-mutant LUAD (The Cancer Genome Atlas, n = 46) versus LUSC (n = 19) and found that the comutation patterns are more consistent with squamous disease with a higher incidence of PIK3CA (p = 0.02) and KRAS or BRAF (p = 0.04) alterations.
