ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the characteristics and clinical significance of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) gene mutation and anaplastic lymphoma kinase(ALK) gene rearrangement in the patients with pneumonia-type lung adenocarcinoma.Methods A total of 154 cases of lung adenocarcinoma definitely diagnosed by histopathology in Xinqiao Hospital from January to August 2016 servedas the research subjects and divided into pheumonia-type lung carcinoma(PTLC,30 cases) and non-pneumonia-type lung carcinoma(non-PTLC,124 cases) according to the imaging manifestations.The EGFR gene detection was performed in 154 cases,among them 87 cases simultaneously conducted the ALK gene rearrangement detection.The EGFR mutation rate andALK gene rearrangement rate were compared between PTLC and non-PTLC,and their clinical characteristics differences were investigated.Results The mutation rate of EGFR,which PTLC occurred less frequently than non-PTLC in lung adenocarcinoma (20.0 ％ vs.47.6 ％,P＜0.05).The age,smoking history,sex,tumor family history,ALK gene rearrangement and TNM stage had no statistical differences between the two groups(P＞0.05).The total mutation rate of EGFR gene was 42.2％ (65/154).The smoking history and sex were related with the EGFR gene mutation,while the age and tumor family history had no obvious relation with EGFR gene mutation.The total ALK gene rearrangement rate was 11.5 ％.The smoking history,tumor family history,sex and age had no obvious relation with the ALK gene rearrangement.Among 87 cases of EGFR and ALK simultaneous gene detection,the co-existence of EGFR gene mutation and ALK rearrangement was not found.Conclusion Imaging findlings of patients with PTLC,it should be conducted to detection that EGFR gene mutation and ALK gene rearrangenment,in order to formulate comprehensive management scheme in the patients with advanced tumor.
