Guidelines recommend performing biomarker tests for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK), BRAF and ROS proto-oncogene-1(ROS1) genes and protein expression of programmed death ligand-1(PD-L1) in patients with non-small lung cell carcinoma (NSCLC). Studies reported that endobronchial ultrasound-transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) can provide sufficient material for cancer biomarker analyses, but there are still concerns about the subject.
The purpose of the study was to assess the adequacy of EBUS-TBNA for testing lung cancer biomarkers.
We retrospectively reviewed patients with NSCLC whose EBUS-TBNA was analysed for EGFR, ALK, ROS-1, BRAF and PD-L1 expression between December 2011 and December 2020.
A total of 394 patients were enrolled in the study. EGFR mutation and ALK fusion were the most common studied biomarkers. EBUS-TBNA adequacy rate for biomarker tests was found 99.0% for EGFR, 99.1 for ALK, 97.2% for ROS1, 100% for BRAF and 99.3% for PD-L1 testing. Multivariate analysis revealed the histological type, history of treatment for NSCL, size, or 18-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake of sampled lesion did not show any association with TBNA adequacy for biomarker testing.
EBUS-TBNA can provide adequate material for biomarker testing for EGFR, ALK, ROS-1, BRAF and PD-L1 expression.
指南建议对非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者进行表皮生长因子受体(EGFR)、间变性淋巴瘤激酶(ALK)、BRAF和ROS原癌基因1(ROS1)基因检测以及程序性死亡配体1(PD-L1)蛋白表达检测。研究报告称,支气管内超声引导下经支气管针吸活检术(EBUS-TBNA)可为癌症生物标志物分析提供足够的材料,但对此仍存在担忧。
本研究的目的是评估EBUS-TBNA用于检测肺癌生物标志物的充足性。
我们回顾性分析了2011年12月至2020年12月期间接受EBUS-TBNA检查并分析EGFR、ALK、ROS-1、BRAF和PD-L1表达的NSCLC患者。
共有394例患者纳入本研究。EGFR突变和ALK融合是最常检测的生物标志物。EBUS-TBNA用于生物标志物检测的充足率在EGFR检测中为99.0%,ALK检测中为99.1%,ROS1检测中为97.2%,BRAF检测中为100%,PD-L1检测中为99.3%。多变量分析显示,组织学类型、NSCL治疗史、取样病变的大小或18氟脱氧葡萄糖摄取情况与TBNA用于生物标志物检测的充足性均无关联。
EBUS-TBNA可为EGFR、ALK、ROS-1、BRAF和PD-L1表达的生物标志物检测提供充足的材料。
