Objectives: To investigate the imaging features of erlotinib-associated gastrointestinal toxicity (GT) in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Materials and Methods: The electronic medical records of 157 patients with NSCLC who received erlotinib between 2005 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed to identify patients with GT. Clinical and radiologic evidence of erlotinib-associated GT was evaluated. Imaging findings were cross-referenced with clinical presentation, management, and outcomes.
Results: 24 (15%) patients (16 women; median age, 68 years) with radiologic evidence of GT were identified. The median time to detection of GT on imaging was 4.5 months (range: 0-58 months). 3/24 (12.5%) patients had no clinical symptoms, but GT was radiologically identified. Erlotinib-associated GT manifested in the large bowel in either a diffuse (42%) or segmental (58%) pattern. The most common imaging finding was fluid-filled bowel (23/24, 96%).
Conclusion: Erlotinib-associated GT was identified in 15% patients with NSCLC. Fluid-filled colon and segmental involvement were the most common imaging manifestations.
