Although cancer-related management guidelines recommend standardized nutritional care, its implementation is scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of malnutrition and the medical need for nutrition counseling in cancer patients employing a novel standardized nutritional management program (containing malnutrition risk screening, nutritional assessment and counseling). Furthermore, differences of malnutrition parameters in different cancer patient cohorts were examined. Methods Cancer patients were screened for malnutrition using the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment Short Form (PG-SGA SF) on the first day of their inpatient admission to the internal oncology or hematology wards. PG-SGA total score and classification into the three PG-SGA nutrition stages (A, B, C) were used to determine nutritional status. In case of a positive screening, nutritional assessment and individualized counseling by a nutritionist followed. For group comparisons, patients were divided into different groups (e.g., age, gender, tumor entity) and were evaluated accordingly. Results A total of 1,100 inpatients were included. 56.8 % of the patients had suspected or already existing malnutrition. The most common nutrition impact symptom was loss of appetite (26.7 %), followed by fatigue (16.5 %) and pain (16.0 %). Female (p < 0.001), elderly (p < 0.001) and patients with upper gastrointestinal tract tumors (p < 0.001) showed an unfavorable nutritional status and higher need for counseling.

The definition of mutation abundance in the EGFR gene in most current studies is mainly calculated based on the ratio of mutation to wild-type gene copy number or based on the ratio of allele number; for example, variant allele frequency is the ratio of the number of mutant alleles to the total number of alleles at a particular locus. Results of the included primary studies are as follows. (1) Significant association between EGFR mutation abundance and progression-free survival (PFS): median PFS was significantly longer in the high abundance group (11.0 months, 95% CI: 9.7-12.3 months) than in the low abundance group (5.3 months, 95% CI: 3.6-7.0 months) in the study by Liu et al. High mutation abundance (HR: 0.77, 95% CI: 0.66-0.82, p = 0.037) was an independent prognostic determinant of PFS in the study by Wang et al.

Among these, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant NSCLC remains the predominant oncogenic mutation, particularly prevalent in regions such as Asia and Latin America.CASE PRESENTATIONThis case study highlights the experience of a woman diagnosed with EGFR-sensitive (del exon 19) mutant NSCLC who demonstrated an extended duration of response (DOR) to third-generation EGFR-TKI therapy. Upon disease progression, detection of MET gene amplification prompted the addition of a selective MET inhibitor to the existing EGFR-TKI regimen, resulting in a complete response for the patient.DISCUSSION/CONCLUSIONThe molecular heterogeneity of this condition has significantly increased in complexity over recent years, marked by the identification of baseline co-alterations and development of a broad spectrum of resistance mechanisms post-EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) therapy. This complexity poses a substantial challenge to clinicians. Despite the rapid advancement of targeted therapies and the implementation of treatment escalation through combination strategies, there remains an ongoing debate regarding which patients would benefit most from combination therapies, both in the initial treatment phase and in the setting of disease progression, particularly when off-target resistance mechanisms or co-alterations are identified.","PeriodicalId":19543,"journal":{"name":"Oncology Research and Treatment","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-16"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142265367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

SPSS version 26.0 statistical software was used for statistical analysis. P &lt; 0.05 was determined to be statistically significant.RESULTS105 patients were included. The 1, 2, 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 82.9%, 61.2%, and 33.7%, respectively. 1, 2 ,3-year progression-free survival 1 (PFS1) rate was 62.7%, 36.6%, 22.1%. 1,2,3-year PFS2 rate was 80.8%, 54.6%, and 31.4%. The median OS, PFS1 and PFS2 was 29.8, 18.0 and 28.1 months, respectively. The COX multivariate analysis showed that gene mutation status and brain radiation dose were independent prognostic factors for OS; Gene mutation status, brain radiation dose, and response evaluation to initial treatment (response evaluation) are independent prognostic factors for PFS1; Clinical stage, gene mutation status, brain radiation dose, and response evaluation are independent prognostic factors for PFS2.CONCLUSIONTKI combined with brain radiotherapy is effective on lung adenocarcinoma patients with EGFR mutation and brain metastasis. Patients with 19 Del or 21 L858R mutation and brain radiation doses ≥ 40 Gy have longer OS, PFS1, and PFS2, and complete remission (CR) + partial remission (PR) is associated with longer PFS1 and PFS2, Patients in stage IVA have longer PFS2.","PeriodicalId":19543,"journal":{"name":"Oncology Research and Treatment","volume":"189 1","pages":"1-32"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142265368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
