Abstract

Background

Lung cancer (LC) is a lethal malignancy with a late diagnosis and poor prognosis. During the last decade, the identification of oncogenic driver alterations has noticeably changed the therapeutic landscape and contributed to the emergence of the “oncogene addiction” concept and precision medicine in oncology. Among these alterations, the spotlight has turned to driver mutations in the KRAS and BRAF genes, which have garnered significant attention due to the emergence of targeted therapies and the potential for personalized treatment strategies.

Objective

Hence, the present study aimed to evaluate the mutational landscape of the and genes in LC Moroccan patients along with their frequencies and their correlation with clinicopathological features.

Methods

A total of 60 fresh biopsies were collected from patients with primary LC and were subjected to PCR-DNA sequencing of exon 2 of KRAS and exon 15 of BRAF genes in order to detect the most common mutations known by their implication in response to targeted therapies.

Results

Sequencing analysis revealed that mutations in and genes represented respectively 8.3% and 6.7% of cases; one patient had two mutations (G12A and K5E), and none had simultaneous and mutations. The vast majority of patients harboring mutations were men, formal smokers with adenocarcinomas, and at advanced stage (stage III). mutations were mainly detected in men and non-smokers with adenocarcinoma. Statistical analyses showed no significant correlation between KRAS and substitutions and clinico-pathological features (>0.05).

Conclusion

The presence of these mutations will be used as a valuable molecular biomarker to select potential candidates eligible for effective personalized medicine using available agents targeting these mutations. Much effort is needed to identify other druggable mutations to generalize personalized LC therapy for better management of this devastating disease.
