1. Real-world outcomes, treatment patterns and T790M testing rates in non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with first-line first- or second-generation epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors from the Slovenian cohort of the REFLECT studyNina Turnšek, Rok Devjak, Natalija Edelbaher, Ilonka Osrajnik, Mojca Unk, Dušanka Vidovič, Tina Jerič, Urška Janžič, 2022, original scientific article Abstract: Background. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are effective treatments for EGFR mutation-positive (EGFRm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, routine clinical practice is different between countries/institutions. Patients and methods. The REFLECT study (NCT04031898) is a retrospective medical chart review that explored real-life treatment and outcomes of EGFRm NSCLC patients receiving first-line (1L) first-/second-generation (1G/2G) EGFR TKIs in 8 countries. This study included adult patients with documented advanced/metastatic EGFRm NSCLC with 1L 1G/2G EGFR TKIs initiated between Jan 2015 – Jun 2018. We reviewed data on clinical characteristics, treatments, EGFR/T790M testing patterns, and survival outcomes. Here, we report data from 120 medical charts in 3 study sites from Slovenia. Results. The Slovenian cohort (median age 70 years, 74% females) received 37% erlotinib, 32% afatinib, 31% gefitinib. At the time of data collection, 94 (78%) discontinuations of 1L TKI, and 89 (74%) progression events on 1L treatment were reported. Among patients progressing on 1L, 73 (82%) were tested for T790M mutation yielding 50 (68%) positive results, and 62 (85%) received 2L treatment. 82% of patients received osimertinib. Attrition rate between 1L and 2L was 10%. The median (95% CI) real-world progression free survival on 1L EGFR TKIs was 15.6 (12.6, 19.2) months; median overall survival (95% CI) was 28.9 (25.0, 34.3) months. Conclusions. This real-world study provides valuable information about 1G/2G EGFR TKIs treatment outcomes and attrition rates in Slovenian EGFRm NSCLC patients. The reduced attrition rate and improved survival outcomes empha-size the importance of 1L treatment decision.

4. Slovenske smernice sistemskega zdravljenja pljučnega raka 2017Mojca Unk, Katja Mohorčič, Ilonka Osrajnik, Tanja Čufer, 2017, professional article Abstract: Rak pljuč je najbolj pogost rak (če upoštevamo nemelanocitni rak kože) in smrt zaradi raka pljuč je najbolj pogost vzrok smrti zaradi raka na svetu. V Sloveniji je po pogostosti na 4. Mestu in najbolj pogost vzrok smrti zaradi raka. Slabo preživetje bolnikov z rakom pljuč (5 letno srednje preživetje je okoli 12 %) v preteklosti se z uporabo novih sistemskih zdravljen v zadnjem času izboljšuje. Sistemsko zdravljenje je pomemeben del zdravljenja raka pljuč v vseh stadijih bolezni in pri vseh patohistoloških podtipih. Sistemsko zdravljenje na osnovi platine po operaciji v sklopu adjuvantnega zdravljenja se priporoča pri večini bolnikov. Kemoterapija se uporabija sočasno sz radioterapijo pri lokalno napredovali bolezni. Sistemsko zdravljenje je osnova zdravljenja razširjene bolezni. Vrsta sistemskega zdravljnja je odvisna od patohistološkega podtipa, molekularne analize, starosti, splošnega stanja zmogljivosti, sočasnih obolenj in bolnikovih želja. Sistemsko terapijo naj bi prejeli vsi bolniki z razširjeno boleznijo s PS 0-2. Zaželjeno je, da se način zdravlejnja določi na multidisciplinarnem konziliju, izvaja pa specialist internist onkolog, z znanjem in izkušnjami glede sistemske terapije. Slovenske smernice obravnave pljučnega raka so bile zadnjič objavljene leta 2006. V pripravi so nove celostne smernice obravnave raka pljuč v Sloveniji. V članku predstavljamo posodobljenje smernice sistemskega zdravljenja, ki so plod sodelovanja strokovnjakov treh ustanov, ki se ukvarjajo s sistemskim zdravljenjem raka pljuč v Sloveniji: Onkološki inštitut Ljubljana, Univerzitetna klinika Golnik in Univerzitetni klinični center Maribor.
