Abstract

Introduction: Genetic alterations, including mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor, occur in lung cancer. Gefitinib and osimertinib are approved for the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer with this mutation; they demonstrate high response and survival rates compared to chemotherapy.
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of tyrosine kinase inhibitors in patients with lung adenocarcinoma with mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor.
Method: A prospective study was conducted in 29 patients with non-small cell lung cancer with adenocarcinoma histology, with mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor, treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. The variables studied were: response to treatment, adverse events, progression-free survival and overall survival. Descriptive statistics summary measures and survival estimates were used by the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test in the comparison of the curves.
Results: An objective response rate of 70.3% was achieved. The median overall survival and progression-free survival months were 19.9 (95% CI: 12.6-27.2) and 14.8 (95% CI: 3.6-25.9). Adverse events were classified as mild.
Conclusions: Treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor mutation is effective and safe in patients with pulmonary adenocarcinoma with an epidermal growth factor receptor mutation.
