Background: The clinical significance of genetic alterations in stage II/III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients has not yet been clarified. We have prospectively analyzed NSCLC patients for cancer-related gene alterations and have followed up clinical course of the patients, establishing a large-scale clinico-genomic database in our nationwide genome screening project (LC-SCRUM-Japan). Methods: Submitted tumor samples were subjected to a targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS) system, Oncomine™ Comprehensive Assay. Therapeutic and prognostic data were collected and updated every year. Results: Since March 2015 to May 2019, 5166 non-squamous NSCLC patients from 263 institutions had been enrolled in the LC-SCRUM-Japan, and 754 of them were diagnosed as stage II/III. The median age of the 754 patients was 67 years (range, 21-92), and 503 (67%) were male, 595 (79%) smokers and 631 (84%) stage III. Of 640 available samples, 258 (40%) had targetable gene alterations, comprising 106 KRAS mut, 42 EGFR mut, 29 BRAF mut, 20 MET ex14skip/amp, 16 ALK fus, 12 ROS1 fus, 11 ERBB2 ex20ins, 8 RET fus, 7 EGFR ex20ins, 5 AKT1 mut, 1 NRG1 fus, 1 FGFR2/3 fus. In patients who received surgery (n = 159), 3-year disease-free survival rate was worse in patients with targetable gene alterations than in those without (40% vs 58% months; p = 0.03). In patients who received cytotoxic chemo-radiotherapy (n = 148), the response rate was similar in patients with targetable gene alterations and those without (70% vs. 77%); however, 3-year progression-free survival rate tended to be shorter in patients with targetable gene alterations than in those without (19% vs 35%; p = 0.08). Conclusions: In stage II/III NSCLC, the total frequency of targetable gene alterations was similar to that previously evaluated in our stage IV cohort (45%), and the current standard therapies showed early progression in the targetable gene-altered patients. A novel effective multimodality treatment in combination with targeted therapies is needed for this population.
