Abstract:

The impact of KRAS mutation subtypes on treatment response to first-line immunochemotherapy in advanced lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains uncertain. This study evaluated treatment efficacy across KRAS subtypes and examined the role of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and co-mutations. We retrospectively analyzed 335 patients with advanced KRAS-mutant LUAD treated with first-line immunochemotherapy between 2018 and 2022 at two centers. Patients were categorized into G12A (n = 36), G12C (n = 116), G12D (n = 62), G12V (n = 56), and other subtypes (n = 65). PD-L1 tumor proportion score (TPS) was stratified as <1%, 1-49%, or ≥50%. Endpoints included progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR). Median PFS in the overall cohort was 8.6 months, with an ORR of 34.0% and a DCR of 87.8%. Median PFS did not differ significantly among KRAS subtypes (p = .617), nor within PD-L1 TPS groups: <1% (p = .740), 1-49% (p = .652), and ≥50% (p = .481). In the major subtypes (G12A, G12C, G12D, and G12V), PD-L1 expression showed no significant association with PFS. STK11 co-mutations were enriched in G12C, G12V, and other subtypes (p = .004) and correlated with shorter PFS (p = .006). In conclusion, first-line immunochemotherapy yields comparable efficacy across KRAS subtypes, independent of PD-L1 expression. Within the major subgroups (G12A, G12C, G12D, and G12V), PD-L1 levels were not predictive of PFS. STK11 co-mutations were enriched in G12C, G12V, and other subtypes and were associated with shorter PFS.

Mutations

Mutations

Mutations

Mutations are changes in the sequence of DNA. These changes can occur spontaneously or they can be induced by exposure to environmental factors. Mutations can be characterized in a number of different ways: whether and how they alter the amino acid sequence of the protein, whether they occur over a small or large area of DNA, and whether they occur in somatic cells or germline cells.

Viral Mutations

Viral Mutations

A mutation is a change in the sequence of bases of DNA or RNA in a genome. Some mutations occur during replication of the genome due to errors made by the polymerase enzymes that replicate DNA or RNA. Unlike DNA polymerase, RNA polymerase is prone to errors because it is not capable of “proofreading” its work. Viruses with RNA-based genomes, like HIV, therefore accrue mutations faster than viruses with DNA-based genomes. Because mutation and recombination provide the raw material...

Self-Efficacy

Self-Efficacy

Self-efficacy is the belief in one's capacity to organize and execute actions necessary to manage prospective situations. This belief significantly influences how individuals approach goals, tasks, and challenges across different domains of life.Psychological and Educational ImpactsIndividuals with strong self-efficacy are more resilient in the face of difficulties. They are more likely to adopt effective problem-solving strategies, persist through obstacles, and regulate emotions such as...

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift

Mutation, Gene Flow, and Genetic Drift

In a population that is not at Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the frequency of alleles changes over time. Therefore, any deviations from the five conditions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium can alter the genetic variation of a given population. Conditions that change the genetic variability of a population include mutations, natural selection, non-random mating, gene flow, and genetic drift (small population size).

Lung Capacity

Lung Capacity

The air in the lungs is measured in volumes and capacities. Lung volume measures reflect the amount of air taken in, released, or left over after a lung function, like a single inhalation. Lung capacity measures are sums of two or more lung volume measures.
