Tissue EGFR testing (Sanger or targeted PCR) | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Positive | Negative | Total | |||
Plasma NGS | Positive | 9 | 0† | 9 | Sensitivity: 75% (95% CI: 42.8–94.5%) Specificity: 100% (95% CI: 86.3% to 100.0%) Accuracy: 91.9% (95% CI: 78.1% to 98.3%) |
Negative | 3 | 25 | 28 |
Sensitivity of plasma NGS for EGFR detection relative to tissue EGFR testing was 75% (9/12) and specificity was 100% (25/25), for an overall concordance of 91.9% (34/37).
One case in plasma NGS was found to have EGFR p.A763_Y764insFQQA, an exon 20 insertion mutation, which is not part of the assay used in routine PCR-based tissue EGFR testing, and is not included in the count.
