Genomic Mutations of Primary and Metastatic Lung Adenocarcinoma in Chinese Patients.

ABSTRACT: Lung cancer is still the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Of lung cancer, lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common subtype. Most patients with LUAD would develop into metastasis, which limits the available treatment. Targeted therapy and immunotherapy provided options for those advanced patients. But they also broached up challenges to identify the appropriate patients. This study aims to reveal the landscapes of genomic mutations in primary and metastatic LUAD and their actionability. This study enrolled 636 patients with LUAD, of whom 85 and 551 were from patients with and without metastasis, respectively. Next-generation sequencing technology was used to retrieve their genomic information. Genomic mutations including short nucleotide variation, long variation, copy
