| Description | Introduction: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of local radiotherapy in the management of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutant non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) treated with EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). Materials and Methods: Patients with stage IV EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with radiotherapy concomitant to EGFR TKIs from May 2010 to December 2017 were retrospectively identified. Overall survival (OS) was the primary endpoints of the study. Results: A total of 205 patients were enrolled in the study. One hundred eleven patients received one-time single-site radiotherapy (SSR), and 94 patients received multiple-site radiotherapy (MSR). Patients who received MSR had longer OS (median OS, 40.0 months; 95% confidence interval [CI], 29.6 to 50.4) than those who received SSR (median OS, 28.9 months; 95% CI, 24.3 to 33.5; P=0.031). Thoracic radiotherapy was associated with prolonged median OS (41.7 months, 95% CI, 29.0 to 54.4 vs 27.1 months, 95% CI 22.7 to 31.5; log-rank P< 0.001). Multivariate analysis confirmed that thoracic radiotherapy was independently associated with improved OS (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.514; 95% CI 32.3% to 81.8%; P=0.005). Conclusion: MSR improves survival outcomes in patients with advanced-stage, EGFR-mutant, lung adenocarcinoma, with thoracic radiotherapy having the most significant effect on prognosis. |
