Determination of essential biomarkers in lung cancer: a real-world data study in Spain.

Abstract Background: The survival of patients with lung cancer has substantially increased in the last decade by about 15%. This increase is, basically, due to targeted therapies available for advanced stages and the emergence of immunotherapy itself. This work aims to study the situation of biomarker testing in Spain.Patients and Methods: The Thoracic Tumours Registry (TTR) is an observational, prospective, registry-based study that included patients diagnosed with lung cancer and other thoracic tumours, from September 2016 to 2020. This TTR study was sponsored by the Spanish Lung Cancer Group (GECP) Foundation, an independent, scientific, multidisciplinary oncology society that coordinate…

Determination of essential biomarkers in lung cancer: a real-world data study in Spain with demographic, clinical, epidemiological and pathological characteristics

Clinical and molecular characteristics of the patients in the liquid biopsy study in mEGFR-NSCLC in a Spanish population (OPH-1).

e21515 Background: The liquid biopsy (LB) is an important tool in the diagnostic and follow up of the patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and can provide big information about the mutational variability of the disease during of the treatment. Methods: We conducted a multicenter study with 200 patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC, treated with first-line TKI therapy. We analyse the ctDNA by dPCR pre-treatment, at 8 weeks, at 7 months and at the progression of the disease (PD). Results: A total of 200 patients (60% women / 40% men) were included. The median of age was 68-year. The never smokers were 56% and 34% ex-smokers. 92% of the cases were adenocarcinomas. According to the stag…

ctDNA levels before treatment predict survival in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with a tyrosine kinase inhibitor.

9542 Background: Currently there is an intense debate concerning therapeutic strategies in EGFR positive NSCLC patients with advance disease. Osimertinib is superior to standard EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors (TKIs) as first line treatment. However, it is yet unclear whether this option is superior to sequential treatment of a 1st or 2nd generation TKI followed by osimertinib. In order to clarify this issue it is important to identify which patients are at high risk of progression disease. Methods: This is a prospective, multicentre, cross-sectional study promoted by Spanish Lung Cancer Group. 698 plasma samples from 196 advanced NSCLC patients with tumors harboring an EGFR activating mut…
