BACKGROUND: Next-generation Sequencing (NGS) is critical for providing treatment recommendations across multiple stages of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, a substantial proportion of patients do not undergo testing. This study evaluated the completion rates and timeliness of NGS in patients with stage II to IV NSCLC at a single academic institution with a reflex NGS testing protocol.
METHODS: Patients with stage II to IV nonsquamous NSCLC (ns-NSCLC) diagnosed between 2015 and 2022 were identified retrospectively. A reflex, tissue-based testing protocol was initiated in 2015 using in-house NGS. Pyrosequencing was performed if NGS failed.
RESULTS: 501 patients were included: 75 (15.0%) with stage II, 82 (16.4%) with stage III, and 344 (68.6%) with stage IV ns-NSCLC. Tissue NGS was completed in 380 (75.8%) patients and 465 (92.8%) completed some tissue-based genomic testing when including pyrosequencing. Median time from biopsy to NGS was 17.0 days (range, 6-61 days). 61.0% of patients had NGS results prior to a first treatment of any type and 88.4% had tissue NGS results prior to systemic therapy. Among stage IV patients with completed NGS, median overall survival was 2.27 years for patients with NGS results prior to first treatment compared to 1.08 years for patients without NGS results prior to treatment initiation (P = .04).
CONCLUSIONS: Implementation of an in-house, reflex NGS testing protocol enabled rapid genomic profiling in a high proportion of patients with stage II to IV ns-NSCLC. NGS completion prior to receiving first-line therapy was associated with improved survival compared to completion after first line treatment in stage IV patients.
