STK11 genetic alterations in metastatic EGFR mutant lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between STK11 genetic alterations and the outcomes of patients with metastatic EGFR mutant lung cancer. Clinical characteristics and genomic data were downloaded from the cBioPortal database. The information of the case with STK11 mutation was collected from Jiangyin People's Hospital. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to distinguish the prognostic differences. Outcomes were analyzed before and after propensity score matching (PSM). A patient with STK11 mutation was insensitive to osimertinib and had an extremely poor prognosis. Further analysis showed that STK11 mutations had a strong mutual exclusion with EGFR mutations. A total of 960 patients with metastatic EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinoma were enrolled in the p
