Tumor tissues are often absent or insufficient for testing epidermal growth
factor receptor (EGFR) mutations to guide EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs)
treatment of patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We conducted this
systematic review and meta-analysis to assess whether blood can be used as a
substitute for tumor tissue in detecting EGFR mutations. MEDLINE, EMBASE, and the
Cochrane Library were searched for studies that provided data to estimate the
accuracy of blood testing against tissue testing in NSCLC patients and/or those
directly compared the efficacy of EGFR TKIs in EGFR mutant and wild-type patients
according to sources of specimens. Sensitivity, specificity, and concordance rate
were used as measures of the accuracy. Risk ratio (RR) for objective response and
hazard ratio (HR) for progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS)
were used as measures for treatment efficacy. We combined the effects by using
the fixed-effects model unless there was evidence of heterogeneity, in which case
a random-effects mode was used. This systematic review included 25 studies with
2605 patients. The pooled overall sensitivity, specificity, and concordance rate
were 0.61, 0.90, and 0.79, respectively. Serum showed lower sensitivity (0.56 vs
0.65) but higher specificity (0.95 vs 0.85) and higher concordance (0.86 vs 0.74)
than plasma. EGFR mutations (exon 19 or 21) in blood were significantly
associated with objective response (RR: 4.08; 95% confidence interval [CI]
2.48-6.70), PFS (HR: 0.72; 95% CI 0.64-0.80), and OS (HR: 0.71; 95% CI
0.50-0.99). Importantly, the association of the mutations with the 3 clinical
outcomes for serum was similar to that for tumor tissue and higher than that for
plasma. Blood, in particular serum, is a good substitute when tumor tissue is
absent or insufficient for testing EGFR mutations to guide EGFR TKIs treatment in
patients with NSCLC. EGFR mutation positivity in blood could be used to recommend
EGFR TKIs treatment, but the absence of blood positivity should not necessarily
be construed with confirmed negativity.
