Abstract

Purpose: Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation is the most common target for precision treatment in metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. We investigated the predictive role of 18F-FDG PET/CT and clinicopathological features for EGFR mutations in lung adenocarcinoma with bone metastasis.

Methods: Seventy-five lung adenocarcinoma patients with histologically confirmed bone metastasis were included. They all received EGFR status test and PET/CT before systemic treatment. The differences of maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) in primary tumor (pSUVmax), regional lymph node (nSUVmax) and bone metastasis (bmSUVmax) between different EGFR status groups were compared, alongside with common clinicopathological features. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate predictors of EGFR mutations.

Results: EGFR mutations were found in 37 patients (49.3%). EGFR mutations were more common in females, non-smokers, expression of Thyroid Transcription Factor-1 (TTF-1) and NaspinA. Low bmSUVmax was significantly associated with EGFR mutations, while no significant difference was observed in pSUVmax and nSUVmax. Multivariate analysis showed that bmSUVmax ≤7, non-smoking, expression of TTF-1 were predictors of EGFR mutations. The area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was 0.84 for the combination of the three factors.

Conclusion: Low bmSUVmax is more frequently in EGFR mutations, and bmSUVmax is an independent predictor of EGFR mutations. Combining bmSUVmax with other clinicopathological features could forecast the EGFR status in lung adenocarcinoma with unavailable EGFR gene testing.
