Abstract

Targeted treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with driver aberrations has drastically improved the outcome of a subset of patients. However, for successful adaptation in the clinical routine, many stakeholders are involved, like comprehensive cancer centers, molecular pathology, peripheral hospitals, and oncology practices. Here, we present a single center experience in personalized treatment of lung cancer in Germany. Patients with advanced NSCLC and the need for systemic treatment after identification of a targetable driver mutation have been included in this analysis. Detection of the mutations was performed within a diagnostical network. Treatment was chosen depending on the respective driver mutation. We identified 58 patients (26 male, 32 female) with treatment relevant driver mutations: 33 patients (56.9 %) had an EGFR mutation, nine patients (15.5 %) presented with ALK translocation, five patients (8.6 %) were detected to have BRAF mutations, four had ROS1 translocations (6.9 %) and 8 patients had MET mutations (13.8 % each). In one patient, concomitant BRAF and MET amplifications were detected. 52 patients received targeted therapy. The median overall survival was 35.5 months (95 % CI, 18.0–52.9 months). 32 patients (64 %) received subsequent treatment after initiation of targeted therapy first-line. Our single-center experience demonstrates that advances in the field of targeted NSCLC therapy are quickly incorporated into clinical routine in Germany. Noteworthy, no new safety information was found.

期刊介绍: Cancer Treatment and Research Communications is an international peer-reviewed publication dedicated to providing comprehensive basic, translational, and clinical oncology research. The journal is devoted to articles on detection, diagnosis, prevention, policy, and treatment of cancer and provides a global forum for the nurturing and development of future generations of oncology scientists. Cancer Treatment and Research Communications publishes comprehensive reviews and original studies describing various aspects of basic through clinical research of all tumor types. The journal also accepts clinical studies in oncology, with an emphasis on prospective early phase clinical trials. Specific areas of interest include basic, translational, and clinical research and mechanistic approaches; cancer biology; molecular carcinogenesis; genetics and genomics; stem cell and developmental biology; immunology; molecular and cellular oncology; systems biology; drug sensitivity and resistance; gene and antisense therapy; pathology, markers, and prognostic indicators; chemoprevention strategies; multimodality therapy; cancer policy; and integration of various approaches. Our mission is to be the premier source of relevant information through promoting excellence in research and facilitating the timely translation of that science to health care and clinical practice.
