Abstract

Abstract: EGFR mutations is associated with sensitivity to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI’s) therapy which are found in Lung Adenocarcinoma. There are some limitations in detecting EGFR mutation. CEA is also expected to predict treatment efficiency of EGFR-TKI's therapy. In this study, we investigated the relationship between serum Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) Mutations in Lung Adenocarcinoma patient. Methods : The research was conducted in Dr. Saiful Anwar General Hospital Malang. From May 2014 to November 2015, 54 lung adenocarcinoma patients who had underwent measurements of EGFR  mutation and serum CEA level were retrospectively recruited. None of them had surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and  targeted therapy. EGFR mutation was detected using PCR, serum CEA levels were analyzed using electrochemical luminescence. Result: Abnormal serum levels of CEA were significantly associated with EGFR mutation (95% CI, P=0,043) with an odds ratio of 3.4 (95% CI: 1.010-11.451). The area under the ROC curve for CEA was 0.558 (95% CI, P=0.078). Conclusion: Serum CEA is associated with mutation of EGFR in lung adenocarcinoma patients.  Keywords : Lung cancer, adenocarcinoma, EGFR, CEA

Abstract

Introduction: Adenocarcinoma is the most common subtype of lung cancer, around 40% of lung cancer cases worldwide. It’s specific to epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation. Lung cancer can be risk factor and increases the mortality rate of pyopneumothorax (12.8% higher in cancer patients). Case Illustration: A 69 year old woman, non smoker, who is diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma (Exon 18 and 21 mutation) in May 2021 and came to emergency room with complaints of worsening shortness of breath. Cloudy-yellow pleural fluid was drained during thoracocentesis procedure. Imaging study using thorax CT scan showed a left lung mass obliterating bronchial segments 1/2, 3 and left hydropneumothorax. The patient was later diagnosed with pyopneumothorax and thorax drain procedure was performed. Antibiotic therapy was based on culture result. Through a following ctDNA (circulating tumor DNA) test, the mutations change to Exons 19 and 20 T790M. Discussion: Pyopneumothorax in this patient can occur due to disorder in the integrity of the host defense mechanisms, which then develops infection in the pleural cavity. The T790M mutation is found in 50-60% cases that are resistant to tyrosin kinase inhibitors (TKI). Third-generation TKI is main option for this condition, however, platinum-based chemotherapy can be considered, as in the case above, where third-generation chemotherapy cannot be given due to limitation of insurance coverage. Conclusion: Lung cancer can be associated with occurance of pyopneumothorax. Genetic mutation changes can occur due to resistance mechanisms. Giving platinum-based chemotherapy can be considered in such cases. Keywords: lung adenocarcinoma, genetic mutation, pyopneumothorax
