Abstract:Objective: To find out the reason for poor immunotherapy effect of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutant non small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) by analyzing the correlation between programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and EGFR gene mutation status, and to provide reference for precise diagnosis and treatment of EGFR-mutant NSCLC patients.Methods: A total of 308 NSCLC patients who underwent EGFR gene detection and PD-L1 immunohistochemical staining at the same time in the Department of Pathology of Tangshan Gongren Hospital from 2020 to 2021 were collected. The relationship between PD-L1 expression intensity and EGFR gene mutation rate, and the correlation between EGFR mutation status and PD-L1 expression intensity, were analyzed. Results: EGFR mutation rates were 71.30%, 57.55%, 50.00% and 44.12% (P=0.017, r=-0.176) in PD-L1 negative, weakly positive, moderately positive and strongly positive patients, respectively. The low and high expression rates of PD-L1 were 74.19% and 25.81% in the EGFR mutant NSCLC, and 62.30% and 37.70% in the wild type (P=0.027). Conclusion: There is a negative correlation between the expression intensity of PD-L1 and EGFR mutation rate. The higher the expression of PD-L1, the lower the mutation rate of EGFR. Patients with EGFR mutant NSCLC were more likely to have low expression of PD-L1.
