Abstract 22P
Background
DNA damage response (DDR) pathways are essential to sustain genomic stability and play a critical role in cancer development and progression. Here, we investigated DDR genes mutations profile in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their prognostic values.
Methods
We first examined 74 DDR genes involved in seven DDR pathways and then focused on six specific genes: ATM, BRCA1/2, CHEK1, BARD1, BRIP1. A total of 179 stage I and IIIa NSCLC patients who received curative resection in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and their corresponding samples were collected for DNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry and survival analysis.
Results
A total of 167 eligible patients were finally analyzed. Mutation frequencies were 82% and 26.3% for the selected 74 genes and 6 genes, respectively. No association was found between DDR gene status and PD-L1 expression, CD8 positive lymphocyte and tumor-associated macrophage (TAM) infiltration in tumor area. Numbers of gene mutations was significantly increased among patients with DDR alterations. Deleterious mutations in ATM, BRCA1/2, CHEK1, BARD1 and BRIP1 were independent prognostic indicators of significantly longer disease-free survival.
Conclusions
Deleterious mutations of these six genes were common in early-stage NSCLC and may serve as prognostic biomarkers.
