Abstract

Objective: To identify the rate of certain genetic alterations associated with non-small cell lung cancer. Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study involving 165 patients with non-small cell lung cancer at Hanoi Medical University Hospital, who were tested for genetic alterations using Next-Generation Sequencing. Results: EGFR gene mutation was found in 39% of cases; KRAS gene mutation in 16%; ALK gene fusion in 7%; PIK3CA gene mutation in 2%; BRAF gene mutation in 1%, and ROS-1 gene fusion in 1%. A separate analysis of EGFR mutations revealed: L858R (55.1%); 19 Del (33.3%); 20 Ins (4.3%); A750P (4.3%); G719D (2.9%); G719A (1.5%); E709G (1.5%); E790K (1.5%); S768A (1.5%) and T790M (1.5%). Conclusion: EGFR mutations are the most common mutations in patients with non-small cell lung cancer, with L858R and Exon 19 deletions (19 Del) being the most common types of this gene mutation.
