Approximately 5-10% of lung cancers carry ARID1A mutations. ARID1A loss in lung cancer correlates with clinicopathological features and poor prognosis. Co-mutation of ARID1A and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) results in the limited efficacy of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) but increases the clinical benefit of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). ARID1A gene mutation plays a role in cell cycle regulation, metabolic reprogramming, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition. We present the first comprehensive review of the relationship between ARID1A gene mutations and lung cancer and discuss the potential of ARID1A as a new molecular target.
