The clinicopathological information, CT signs, clinical efficacy and long-term prognosis were collected and compared.Results: A total of 249 NSCLC patients underwent HER2 gene testing, 21 of them (8.43%) complied with HER2 alterations [HER2 (+)], and there were significant differences in tumor stages among patients with different HER2 phenotypes (P< 0.05). Among 21 NSCLC patients with HER2 (+), HER2 gene mutation was found in 17 patients (81%), and HER2 gene amplification in 4 patients (19%). Among the HER2 mutations, 12 cases (57%) were 20 exon mutations, and 5 cases (19%) were other mutations. Analysis of CT signs showed that border lobulation/burr, necrosis sign and pleural depression were correlated with HER2 gene mutation (P< 0.05). The incidence of EGRF mutation in HER (+) patients was significantly lower than that in HER (-) patients (P< 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the incidence of ALK gene mutation among different HER phenotypes (P> 0.05). The disease control rate of HER2 (+) patients was significantly lower than that of HER2 (-) patients, and the 12-month progression-free survival rate and survival rate of HER2 (+) patients were significantly higher than those of HER2 (-) patients (P< 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of ADR among HER2 patients with different phenotypes, but the incidence of ADR (adverse drug reaction) in HER2 (+) patients with Grade 3 or 4 was significantly higher than that in the control group (P< 0.05).Discussion: The incidence of HER2 gene mutations in NSCLC patients is relatively low, but it is far commoner in patients with stage IIIB∼IV, among which exon 20 mutations are the most prevalent. In CT signs, the lesion lobulated sign/spiculated sign, necrosis signs, and pleural depression signs are related to HER2 gene mutations. In addition, HER2 gene mutations play a crucial role in the clinical prognosis and treatment safety of patients.Keywords: non-small cell lung cancer, HER2 genotype, CT signs, afatinib |
