Summary: | Introduction
This study was aimed to evaluate distribution of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in a large series of Russian lung cancer (LC) patients.
Methods
10,607 LC samples were considered for EGFR analysis; EGFR status was successfully determined in 10,426 cases (98.3 %), indicating relatively low failure rate.
Results
EGFR mutations (ex19del and L858R) were detected in 1759/8716 (20.2 %) adenocarcinomas, 28/669 (4.2 %) squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) and 8/119 (6.7 %) large cell carcinomas. The occurrence of EGFR mutations in adenocarcinomas gradually increased with age, being attributed mainly to the increment of the L858R frequency in non-smokers (patients aged 18–30 years: 1/27 (3.7 %); 31–40 years: 5/98 (5.1 %); 41–50 years: 18/276 (6.5 %); 51–60 years: 102/944 (10.8 %); 61–70 years: 138/1011 (13.7 %); 71–80 years: 85/496 (17.1 %); 81–100 years: 5/27 (18.5 %);
