Abstract
Accumulating evidences have indicated that BIM expression largely decides the development of lung cancer and outcome of EGFR-mutant lung cancers after TKI treatments. BIM polymorphism is a 2,903-bp deletion in the second exon. To clarify the relationship between this BIM polymorphism and clinical outcomes of lung cancers, we conducted this meta-analysis and observed the survival and responses to TKIs. Sixteen cohort studies, covering 4393 WT and 916 BIM deletion patients were included. Overall, BIM deletion polymorphism was associated with significantly shorter progression-free survival (PFS) and slightly shorter overall survival (OS), compared to the WT group. Moreover, patients with BIM deletion polymorphism showed significantly inferior response to EGFR TKIs. In conclusion, our analysis confirmed that lung cancer patients harboring the BIM deletion have inferior survival and TKI responses. Examination of the novel biomarker BIM deletion in lung cancer patients, especially for the EGFR mutant cohort, could provide some prognostic utility.
