Abstract

BACKGROUND: New treatment methods such as targeted therapy and immune checkpoint inhibitors have been applied to lung cancer patients. It is necessary to further understand the patients with lung cancer combined with pulmonary tuberculosis with the development of lung cancer research. The purpose of this study was to analyze the clinical characteristics of lung cancer patients with pulmonary tuberculosis, the status of driver genes, and their relationships.
METHODS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 405 patients with lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis hospitalized in our hospital from January 2014 to December 2019. The relationship between clinical characteristics and driver genes status was analyzed.
RESULTS: Among the 405 patients with lung cancer combined with pulmonary tuberculosis, 77.3% were male and 85.3% were patients with a history of smoking. The pathological type was mainly lung adenocarcinoma. When there were cavities in chest computed tomography (CT) , squamous cell carcinoma was the main type. 214 patients underwent driver genes testing. The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation rate was 35.9%, of which 41.8% were exon 19 deletion mutations and 50.9% were exon 21 L858R mutations. When there were cavities in the chest CT, the EGFR mutation rate was significantly reduced (16.1%). The positive rate of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) fusion gene detection was 2.5%, the mutation rate of c-ros oncogene 1 receptor kinase (ROS1) gene was 1.9%, the mutation rate of V-raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) gene was 1.1%, and the mutation rate of Kirsten Rat Sarcoma Viral Oncogene Homolog (KRAS) gene was 10.1%. The genetic mutation rate of female patients with lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis was 50.0%, and that of men was 27.9%.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis are predominantly male with smoking history. Adenocarcinoma is the most common pathological type. The positive rate of gene mutation was not significantly different from that of simple lung cancer, but when there were cavities in the chest image, the genetic mutation rate was significantly reduced.

肺结核患者的肺癌发病率是无肺结核人群肺癌发病率的10.9倍, 合并肺结核的肺癌患者死亡率是单纯肺癌患者死亡率的8倍[。目前肺癌发病率及死亡率均为全球癌症发病率及死亡率之首, 肺癌的治疗方法在近十年发生巨大变化, 肺癌靶向治疗、免疫检查点抑制剂等新的治疗方法已经开始应用于肺癌患者。肿瘤科医生做肺癌相关治疗时, 需关注肺癌合并肺结核患者治疗方案的选择问题。需要进一步了解合并肺结核的肺癌患者的临床及实验室特点, 从而为此类患者的临床治疗提供新的思路。因此, 本研究旨在通过回顾合并肺结核的肺癌患者的临床资料, 分析患者的临床特征、影像学特点、基因突变情况及其之间关系, 从而为制定合并肺结核的肺癌患者的临床治疗方案及进一步开展相关研究, 提供有价值的参考依据。

214例肺癌合并肺结核患者基因突变情况与临床特征分析 Analysis of gene mutations and clinical characteristics in 214 patients with lung cancer complicated with tuberculosis 胸部CT有无空洞改变与基因突变状态之间关系分析, 本研究中伴有空洞改变并完成基因突变检测的患者共47例, 其中31例行EGFR基因检测, 5例(16.1%)为阳性突变。另外47例伴有空洞改变患者中, 10例检测到基因突变, 其中EGFRKRAS突变分别为5例(均为50%)。10例基因突变阳性患者中, 1例(5.3%)为鳞癌患者(EGFR外显子19缺失突变); 9例(94.7%)为非鳞癌患者, 其中4例为EGFR突变(2例外显子19缺失突变, 2例外显子21 L858R突变)。无空洞改变患者基因突变阳性率为37.7%(63/167), 与有空洞改变患者阳性率(21.3%)比较有显著差异(χ2=4.415, P=0.036)。无空洞患者EGFR突变阳性率为41.0%(50/122), 与有空洞患者EGFR阳性率(16.1%)比较, 有显著统计学差异(χ2=6.632, P=0.010)。Ⅰ期-Ⅲa期患者基因突变率为29.1%(25/86), Ⅲb期-Ⅳ期患者为40.9%(45/110), 尽管晚期肺癌患者基因突变率比早期患者有升高趋势, 但是组间比较无统计学差异(χ2=2.947, P=0.086)(表 3)。 分析女性、腺癌、不吸烟、无空洞改变、行EGFR基因检测的28例患者, 其中高达64.3%(18/28)的患者存在EGFR阳性突变, 38.9%(7/18)为外显子19缺失, 50%(9/18)为外显子21 L858R, 11.1%(2/18)为EGFR少见突变。

讨论

来自台湾的一项队列研究发现, 感染肺结核后, 肺癌发病率显著升高, 在肺结核感染后的2年-4年肺癌发病率是无肺结核感染人群的1.98倍, 5年-7年是1.42倍, 8年-12年是1.59倍[。另一来自沈阳的队列研究[认为, 感染肺结核后肺癌发病率显著增加, 在感染肺结核20年后, 肺癌的发病率率仍然比未感染肺结核人群高2倍。 本研究中, 肺癌合并肺结核的患者中, 男性为77.3%, 女性为22.7%, 男女发病比例为3.4:1。目前关于肺癌合并肺结核与性别关系的报道, 基本一致, 均认为男性发病率高于女性[, 分析患者吸烟史发现, 85.3%的男性患者有吸烟史, 女性患者中有吸烟史者为15.2%, 肺结核病及吸烟均为肺癌的高危发病因素[, 因此可以解释本研究中男性肺癌合并肺结核患者显著多于女性的原因。 局部晚期及进展期肺癌患者, 合并活动性肺结核的发病率为26.4%, 此比例显著高于早期肺癌患者(14.1%)(P=0.004)。分析其原因, 可能由于肺癌晚期患者身体免疫功能降低, 因此活动性肺结核比例增加。 目前关于肺癌合并肺结核病理类型的报道, 国内已有报道多以鳞癌为主[。但事实上, 目前我国肺癌的主要病理类型已经不是鳞癌, 而是腺癌[。本研究中, 肺结核合并肺癌患者的病理类型同样以腺癌多见, 肺腺癌及肺鳞癌的比例分别为50.1%及32.3%, 尤其在胸部影像学无空洞改变的患者中, 肺腺癌比例高达54.4%, 但是当胸部影像有空洞改变时, 肺鳞癌成为主要的病理类型, 增加为45.9%。本研究发现有空洞的患者基因突变阳性率为21.3%, 显著低于无空洞的肺癌合并肺结核患者(37.7%), 其中有空洞患者EGFR基因突变阳性率只有16.1%, 显著低于无空洞患者的EGFR突变率(41.0%)。而发生基因突变的10例患者中, 仅1例为鳞癌患者, 本研究中有空洞患者病理类型以鳞癌为主, 可以解释此类患者EGFR阳性突变率低的原因。 本研究中肺癌合并肺结核患者的EGFR基因突变率35.9%, 外显子19缺失突变及外显子21 L858R突分别为41.8%及50.9%, 少见突变发生率7.3%。目前关于EGFR基因突变的研究, 发现亚裔与高加索人有不同, 亚裔和我国肺腺癌患者EGFR基因敏感突变率为40%-50%[, 女性患者基因突变率为50.0%, 显著高于男性患者(27.9%)。有吸烟史患者基因突变率为28.4%, 明显低于无吸烟史者。腺癌患者基因突变率为45.2%, 明显高于鳞癌患者7.1%的基因突变率。 本研究提示, 患者的基因突变率在合并活动性或陈旧性结核组间无差异(P=0.357)。尽管Ⅰ期-Ⅲa期患者基因突变率为29.1%, 低于Ⅲb期-Ⅳ期患者40.9%的基因突变率, 但组间比较无统计学差异(P=0.086)。 总之, 肺结核是肺癌发病的高危因素之一[, 肺癌合并肺结核的患者中, 男性发病率约为女性的3倍-4倍, 男性患者中有吸烟史的比例显著高于女性, 此现象或许进一步支持戒烟对于男性的重要性。稳定性肺结核患者并发肺癌时, 肺癌的早期诊断, 可以减少活动性肺结核的发病比例。肺癌合并肺结核患者以肺腺癌多见, 当胸部影像学存在空洞改变时, 肺鳞癌成为主要病理类型。两病并存时, 女性患者基因突变阳性率显著高于男性, 其中腺癌、不吸烟、胸部影像学无空洞改变的女性患者, 其EGFR阳性突变率高达63.4%。我们尚需要更多的了解肺癌合并肺结核患者的临床特征、治疗中肺结核及肺癌疾病的转归情况、治疗副反应与单纯肺结核或者肺癌患者的异同, 从而制定出更适合肺癌合并肺结核患者的临床方案。
