This study aims to determine the associations between MYC immunoreactivity, <em>MYC</em> copy number gain (CNG), driver mutations and survival following immunotherapy treatment, to provide insight into whether clinical MYC assessment may have predictive value.</p></div><div><h3>Materials and Methods</h3><p>MYC copy number status was determined in 82 patients with NSCLC treated with immunotherapy, and MYC immunohistochemistry (IHC) was performed on 80 of these cases. MYC staining in ≥ 40 % of tumor cells was considered positive. Driver gene alterations, PD-L1 status and survival outcomes were assessed through retrospective chart review. Overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were calculated from the date of immunotherapy initiation.</p></div><div><h3>Results</h3><p>Nine (11 %) of 82 cases had <em>MYC</em> CNG and 56 (70 %) of the 80 immunostained cases were positive for MYC. <em>MYC</em> CNG was significantly associated with <em>STK11</em> mutation (P=0.023), whereas positive MYC IHC was significantly associated with <em>KRAS</em> mutation (P=0.0076) and current/former smoking (P=0.0007). <em>MYC</em> CNG and positive MYC IHC were not significantly associated with each other (P=0.42), or with PD-L1 ≥ 1 % (MYC CNG: P=0.10; MYC IHC: P=0.09). Positive MYC IHC and PD-L1 ≥ 1 % were both significant predictors of OS (MYC: HR 2.7, 95 % CI 1.1–6.4, P=0.026; PD-L1: HR 0.33, 95 % CI 0.15–0.72, P=0.0055). MYC IHC positive/PD-L1 < 1 % cases had the shortest OS (median 230 versus 918 days, P=0.00069) and PFS (median 84 versus 254 days, P=0.0087). <em>MYC</em> CNG was not associated with OS or PFS.</p></div><div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p>We find that positive MYC IHC is an independent predictor of shorter OS after immunotherapy treatment, with MYC positive/PD-L1 < 1 % status predictive of particularly poor immunotherapy response. We identify positive MYC IHC as a feature of possible relevance to NSCLC treatment selection and of interest for future therapy development.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":18129,"journal":{"name":"Lung Cancer","volume":"195 ","pages":"Article 107927"},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2024-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142011518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
