Abstract:Objective:Dysfunction in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) signaling has been reported in diverse cancer types, including non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The frequency of FGFR aberrations in Chinese NSCLC patients is therefore of great clinical significance.Methods:A total of 10,966 NSCLC patients whose tumor specimen and/or circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) underwent hybridization capture-based next-generation sequencing were reviewed. Patients’ clinical characteristics and treatment histories were also evaluated.Results:FGFR aberrations, including mutations, fusions, and gene amplifications, were detected in 1.9% (210/10,966) of the population. FGFR abnormalities were more frequently observed in lung squamous cell carcinomas (6.8%, 65/954) than lung adenocarcinomas (1.3%, 128/9,596). FGFR oncogenic mutations were identified in 19 patients (∼0.17%), of which, 68% were male lung squamous cell carcinoma patients. Eleven out of the 19 patients (58%) had concurrent altered PI3K signaling, thus highlighting a potential combination therapeutic strategy of dual-targeting FGFR and PI3K signaling in such patients. Furthermore, FGFR fusions retaining the intact kinase domain were identified in 12 patients (0.11%), including 9 FGFR3-TACC3, 1 FGFR2-INA, 1 novel FGFR4-RAPGEFL1, and 1 novel fusion between the FGFR1 and SLC20A2 5′-untranslated regions, which may have caused FGFR1 overexpressions. Concomitant EGFR mutations or amplifications were observed in 6 patients, and 4 patients received anti-EGFR inhibitors, in whom FGFR fusions may have mediated resistance to anti-EGFR therapies. FGFR amplification was detected in 24 patients, with the majority being FGFR1 amplifications. Importantly, FGFR oncogenic mutations, fusions, and gene amplifications were almost always mutually exclusive events.Conclusions:We report the prevalence of FGFR anomalies in a large NSCLC population, including mutations, gene amplifications, and novel FGFR fusions.
Keywords:FGFR  oncogenic mutation  fusion  gene amplification  targeted therapy
