ABSTRACT: Background/aim
Patients with stage IIIA (N2) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with no progression after induction chemotherapy are usually selected for surgery. Nowadays, response to chemotherapy is not predictable. We aimed to identify genomic predictive markers for response to induction chemotherapy in stage IIIA (N2) NSCLC patients.Patients and methods
Whole-exome sequencing (WES) was performed on samples from 11 patients with no response after induction chemotherapy and 6 patients with documented pathological response, admitted to the Hotel Dieu Hospital, Paris or Allegemeines Krakenhaus University, Vienna.Results
A higher alternative allele frequency was found on SENP5, rs63736860, rs1602 and NCBP2, rs553783 in the non-responder group, and on RGP1, rs1570248, SLFN12L, rs2304968, rs9905892, and GBA2, rs3833700 in the responder group.Conclusion
These polymorphisms contribute to inter-individual sensibility to chemotherapy response. Interrogation of these genetic variations may have potential applicability when deciding the treatment strategy for patients with stage III NSCLC (N2).
