60% lung adenocarcinomas havea driver oncogene - trunk mutation
Mutually exclusive genetic changes: KRAS, EGFR, ALK, ROS1, BRAF, RET, HER2
Scholl, Arch Pathol Lab Med 2015 12

Predictive biomarkers: EGFR, ALK, ROS1
1. Which patients must be tested?• All AdC, NSCLC NOS, carcinomas with adeno• Stage IV, optional for early stages & other histologies• Primary tumor or metastasis• Adequate tumor sample (cytology or tissue)
2. When to test?• At the time of diagnosis – reflex approach• Tumor sample prioritized for testing
3. How rapid should be testing?• <10 working days• Sample should be sent <3working days for testing• Testing result incorporated in pathology report
4. EQA is a must CAP guidelines 2018 13

EGFR
14
• ErbB transmembrane growth factor receptor• Sensitizing and resistance mutations• Best predictor of TKI treatment

EGFR resistance
• T790M must testing at time of disease progression• To select patients for targeted therapy• Liquid biopsy is the first step 15

Liquid biopsy1. Minimally invasive procedure
Enables serial EGFR testing
2. Baseline EGFR testingNo tumor tissue available for molecular analysisMay capture tumor heterogeneity
3. Monitoring and prediction of TKI treatment4. Detection of resistance EGFR mutation before
clinical progression

ALK• Transmembrane insulin
receptor• Tyrosine kinase• Normally expressed in
nervous tissue, testis• Several fusion partners• Younger patients,
nonsmokers• IHC or FISH • IHC+/FISH- respond to
crizotinib• Testing for resistance not
recommended18

ROS1• Insulin receptor family• Tyrosine kinase• 6q22 translocation• FISH>>IHC• IHC screening method• Younger patients, nonsmokers

Other predicitve biomarkers• KRAS
• No targeted therapy yet• The most common driver mutation in lung adenocarcinoma• Mucinous adenocarcinomas
• RET• Gene rearrangement 10q11.2• Younger nonsmokers, poorly differentiated adenoca
• MET• Tyrosine kinase receptor, crizotinib• Overexpression, gene amplification, exon 14 skipping mutation• EGFR-TKI resistance mechanism• Sarcomatoid carcinoma
• BRAF• V600E mutation in 50%• Micropapillary morphology

SCLC – genomic aberrations
22
• Chromosome instability is high• Increased telomerase activity• TP53 and RB1 mutations are common and typical• DLL3 abnormal expression – predictive biomarker?• DLL3 inhibits NOTCH1 in GA
