Abstract

Non‑small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. A number of targeted therapies have been approved for clinical use or are in clinical trials. Next generation sequencing (NGS) is widely applied in the identification of actionable genomic alterations and enables personalized cancer therapy for patients. Several multiple‑gene panels are available in China for the practice of precision medicine‑based cancer therapy. However, the efficiency of these panels requires evaluation. The current study investigated 23 NSCLC samples using a custom designed panel of complete coding regions of ~180 cancer driver genes (FD‑180) and whole exome sequencing for control samples, obtained from white blood cell samples. The results obtained suggested that actionable mutations with available targeted therapeutic options were identified in 69.6% of cases, including 60.9% of therapeutic targets recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines. Furthermore, 8.7% of patients had a gene mutation that potentially qualified them for clinical trials or associated off‑label therapies. As such, the results obtained in the current study demonstrated the reliability of the targeted NGS panel and its potential use for identifying actionable gene alterations and designing personalized therapies for patients with NSCLC.
