Relationship between tumor marker levels and efficacy of EGFR-TKIs first-line treatment in non-small cell lung cancer patients
Objective Epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) have been widely used in the first-line treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Now the main prognosis target is EGFR mutation state. But some patients
EGFR mutation testing can not be performed for their pathological tissue
and their general conditions can not afford chemotherapy either. So we need more the clinical targets to predict the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs treatment. In this study
we investigated the relationship between serum levels of tumor markers and their therapeutic effect on advanced NSCLC patients treated with EGFR-TKIs as first-line treatment. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 107 NSCLC patients with EGFR-TKIs as first line therapy int our department between 2008 and 2011. All cases had a complete outcome of tumor markers. The statistical test between serum levels of tumor markers and therapeutic effects were performed by SPSS 13.0. Results In the group where serum level of carcino-embryonic antigen (CEA) 5 ng/ml
the effect rate was 15% and disease control rate (DCR) was 47.5%. In the patients whose serum level of CEA was ≥5 ng/ml
the effect rate was 23.4% and disease control rate was 70.3%. There was no statistical difference in progression-free survival (PFS) between the 2 groups (5.7 vs 7.3 months
P=0.220). For the other tumor markers
including carbohydrate antigen125 (CA125)
neuron-specific enolase (NSE)
squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC) and cytokeratin-19-fragment CYFRA21-1
there was no statistical difference in PFS
DCR and objective response rate (ORR) between the elevated group and the normal group. There was also no significant difference in the clinicopathological characteristics between the patients with high and low levels of CEA. Conclusion Serum CEA level might be a predictive factor for the efficacy of EGFR-TKIs treatment. The relationship between the serum level of CEA and PFS is uncertain.
