The EMOO in Asia Study established a clinical annotated population-based registry of lung cancer in a collaboration between ESMO, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, and partner institutions in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore and Thailand.
A retrospective study was conducted based on incident lung cancer cases diagnosed between 2017 – 2019 in Lampang (Thailand), Penang (Malaysia), and Yogyakarta (Indonesia) and a clinical case series obtained from the National Cancer Center in Singapore. Tumour and clinical information were abstracted by chart review according to a predefined study protocol.
Among 2,962 lung cancer cases with a specified pathological diagnosis (87%), the largest proportion of patients had non-squamous NSCLC (76%). For cases with staging information (92.1%), the majority presented with metastatic disease (71%). Overall, rates for molecular testing in the 1,528 patients with stage IV non-squamous NSCLC were 67.0% for EGFR, 42% for ALK, 39% for ROS1, 8% for BRAF and 36% for PD-L1. Among these patients, first line systemic treatment included chemotherapy (26%), targeted therapy (36%), and immunotherapy (6%), with 31% of patients without a record of antitumor treatment. The respective actuarial 1-year survival was 48%, 77%, 68% and 12%. The rates of EGFR mutation testing in Lampang, Penang, Yogyakarta and Singapore was 14%, 59%, 73% and 97%, respectively. Of the patients tested, 58% had EGFR mutations detected. The actuarial 1-year survival was 77% for patients with EGFR mutations and received targeted therapy, 36% for patients tested positive but did not receive target treatment and 44% without detectable EGFR mutations. Molecular testing and the proportion of patients receiving treatment were highly heterogenous between the regions.
Molecular testing rates was heterogenous and survival outcomes varied depending on targeted therapy status and access to treatment. An understanding of testing and treatment factors may improve patient access to optimal treatment.
