Body Mass Index, Weight Loss, and Mortality Risk in Advanced-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients: A Focus on EGFR Mutation

Body mass index (BMI) influences the prognosis of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including both early-stage and late-stage NSCLC patients that are undergoing chemotherapies. However, earlier research on the relationship between BMI and survival in patients taking epidermal growth...

As a result, we undertook retrospective study to examine the effect of BMI on survival outcomes in patients with advanced EGFR mutant NSCLC receiving first-line EGFR-TKIs.

According to the adjusted BMI cut-off point for Asia, 35 out of 513 (6.8%) patients were underweight (BMI < 18.5 kg/m<sup>2</sup>), whereas 197 (38.4%) were overweight (BMI > 24 kg/m<sup>2</sup>). Overweight patients with wild-type EGFR exhibited longer progression-free survival (4.6 vs. 2.1 months, <i>p</i> = 0.003) and overall survival (OS) (8.9 vs. 4.3 months, <i>p</i> = 0.003) than underweight patients. Overweight patients with EGFR mutations had a longer OS than normal-weight patients (23.0 vs. 20.2 months, <i>p</i> = 0.025). Bodyweight reduction was related to a shorter OS in both the mutant EGFR patients (17.1 vs. 30.5 months, <i>p</i> < 0.001) and the wild-type EGFR patients (7.8 vs. 18.7 months, <i>p</i> < 0.001). In conclusion, advanced stages NSCLC patients with a lower BMI and early weight loss had a worse outcome that was independent of EGFR mutation status.Yu-Mu ChenChien-Hao LaiChiung-Yu LinYi-Hsuan TsaiYa-Chun ChangHung-Chen ChenChia-Cheng TsengHuang-Chih ChangKuo-Tung HuangYung-Che ChenWen-Feng FangChin-Chou WangTung-Ying ChaoMeng-Chih LinMDPI AGarticlebody mass indexweight lossnon-small cell lung cancertyrosine kinase inhibitorNutrition.
