Abstract
Targeted therapies have markedly improved the management of patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but their efficacy in localized NSCLC is less well established. The aim of this review is to analyze trials of targeted therapies in localized NSCLC. In patients with wild-type EGFR, tyrosine kinase inhibitors have shown no efficacy in Phase III trials. Few data are available for EGFR-mutated localized NSCLC, as routine biological profiling is not recommended. Available studies are small, often retrospectives, and/or conducted in a single-center making it difficult to draw firm conclusions. Ongoing prospective Phase III trials are comparing adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitor administration versus adjuvant chemotherapy. By analogy with the indication of bevacizumab in advanced NSCLC, use of antiangiogenic agents in the perioperative setting is currently restricted to nonsquamous NSCLC. Several trials of adjuvant or neoadjuvant bevacizumab are planned or ongoing, but for the moment there is no evidence of efficacy. Data on perioperative use of biomarkers in early-stage NSCLC come mainly from small, retrospective, uncontrolled studies. Assessment of customized adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy in localized NSCLC (with or without oncogenic driver mutations) is a major challenge.

Patterns of Distant Metastases After Surgical Management of Non-Small-cell Lung Cancer. Clin Lung Cancer 2016; 18:e57-e70. [PMID: 27477488 DOI: 10.1016/j.cllc.2016.06.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2015] [Revised: 03/23/2016] [Accepted: 06/16/2016] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with limited metastases, oligometastases (OMs), might have improved outcomes compared with patients with widespread distant metastases (DMs). The incidence and behavior of OMs from non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) need further characterization. PATIENTS AND METHODS The medical records of patients who had undergone surgery for stage I-III NSCLC from 1995 to 2009 were retrospectively reviewed. All information pertaining to development of the first metastatic progression was recorded and analyzed. Patients with DMs were categorized into OMs (1-3 lesions potentially amenable to local therapy) and DM subgroups. RESULTS Of 1719 patients reviewed, 368 (21%) developed DMs with a median follow-up period of 39 months. A single lesion was diagnosed in 115 patients (31%) and 69 (19%) had 2 to 3 lesions (50% oligometastatic). The median survival from the DM diagnosis for oligometastatic and diffuse DM was 12.4 and 6.1 months, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% confidence interval, 0.42-0.68; P < .001). Patients with a single metastasis had the longest median survival at 14.7 months. Younger age, OM, the use of chemotherapy for the primary tumor, and DM detection by surveillance imaging were independently associated with improved survival. CONCLUSION DMs and OMs are common in surgically managed NSCLC. Overall survival appears to be prolonged with OM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations occur in about 50% of Asian patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with advanced NSCLC and EGFR mutations derive clinical benefit from treatment with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs). This study assessed the efficacy and safety of adjuvant icotinib without chemotherapy in EGFR-mutated NSCLC patients undergoing resection of stage IB-IIIA. METHODS Our retrospective study enrolled 20 patients treated with icotinib as adjuvant therapy. Survival factors were evaluated by univariate and Cox regression analysis. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 30 months (range 24-41). At the data cut-off, five patients (25%) had recurrence or metastasis and one patient had died of the disease. The two-year disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 85%. No recurrence occurred in the high-risk stage IB subgroup during the follow-up period. In univariate analysis, the micropapillary pattern had a statistically significant effect on DFS ( P = 0.040). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that there was no independent predictor. Drug related adverse events (AEs) occurred in nine patients (45.0%). The most common AEs were skin-related events and diarrhea, but were relatively mild. No grade 3 AEs or occurrences of intolerable toxicity were observed. CONCLUSIONS Icotinib as adjuvant therapy is effective in patients harboring EGFR mutations after complete resection, with an acceptable AE profile. Further trials with larger sample sizes might confirm the efficiency of adjuvant TKI in selected patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tumor protein p53 gene (TP53) mutations are common in stage I through III non-small cell lung cancer, but clinical trials have shown inconsistent results regarding their relationship to the effects of adjuvant therapy. The objective is to clarify their putative prognostic and predictive effects. METHODS A pooled analysis of TP53 mutations (exons 5-8) was conducted in four randomized trials (the International Adjuvant Lung Cancer Trial, J BRonchus 10, Cancer and Leukemia Group B-9633, and Adjuvant Navelbine International Trialist Association trial) of platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) versus observation (OBS). Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of mutant versus wild-type (WT) TP53 for overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were estimated using a multivariable Cox model stratified on trial and adjusted on sex, age, and clinicopathological variables. Predictive value was evaluated with an interaction between treatment and TP53. RESULTS A total of 1209 patients (median follow-up 5.5 years) were included. There were 573 deaths (47%) and 653 DFS events (54%). Mutations (434 [36%]) had no prognostic effect (OBS HROS = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.77-1.28, p = 0.95; HRDFS = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.78-1.25, p = 0.92) but were marginally predictive of benefit from ACT for OS (test for interaction: OS, p = 0.06; DFS, p = 0.11). Patients with WT TP53 had a tendency toward better outcomes with ACT than did those in the OBS group (HROS = 0.77, 95% CI: 0.62-0.95, p = 0.02; HRDFS = 0.75, 95% CI: 0.62-0.92, p = 0.005). In the ACT arm, a deleterious effect of mutant versus WT TP53 was observed (HROS = 1.40, 95% CI: 1.10-1.78, p = 0.006; HRDFS = 1.31, 95% CI: 1.04-1.64, p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS TP53 mutation had no prognostic effect but was marginally predictive for survival from ACT. In patients who received ACT, TP53 mutation tended to be associated with shorter survival than wild-type TP53.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pneumonectomy can be considered the most appropriate treatment for lung cancer that cannot be removed by lesser resection on. AREAS COVERED Therapeutic options following pneumonectomy may be required at least in 3 different scenarios: 1) an early approach due to acute surgical complications 2) a late approach due to chronic surgical complications 3) an integrated radio-chemotherapeutic adjuvant approach for advanced stages. In this review we focused on these three settings with particular emphasis to surgical approach as well as to alternative options. Expert commentary: Pneumonectomy itself does not preclude postoperative additional treatments, if needed, to maximize oncological results and to manage potential short or long term complications. However, as pneumonectomy puts a significant physiological stress on the respiratory and circulatory systems, the benefits and risks of pneumonectomy should be compared with those of alternative, non-resectional treatment modalities.

Abstract
PURPOSE To provide guidance to physicians and patients with regard to the use of adjuvant external beam radiation therapy (RT) in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA NSCLC) based on available medical evidence complemented by consensus-based expert opinion. METHODS AND MATERIALS A panel authorized by the American Society for Radiation Oncology (ASTRO) Board of Directors and Guidelines Subcommittee conducted 2 systematic reviews on the following topics: (1) indications for postoperative adjuvant RT and (2) indications for preoperative neoadjuvant RT. Practice guideline recommendations were approved using an a priori-defined consensus-building methodology supported by ASTRO and approved tools for the grading of evidence quality and the strength of guideline recommendations. RESULTS For patients who have undergone surgical resection, high-level evidence suggests that use of postoperative RT does not influence survival, but optimizes local control for patients with N2 involvement, and its use in the setting of positive margins or gross primary/nodal residual disease is recommended. No high-level evidence exists for the routine use of preoperative induction chemoradiation therapy; however, modern surgical series and a post-hoc Intergroup 0139 clinical trial analysis suggest that a survival benefit may exist if patients are properly selected and surgical techniques/postoperative care is optimized. CONCLUSIONS A consensus and evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the adjuvant radiotherapeutic management of LA NSCLC has been created addressing 2 important questions.

Abstract
PURPOSE Tumor lymphocytic infiltration (TLI) has differing prognostic value among various cancers. The objective of this study was to assess the effect of TLI in lung cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS A discovery set (one trial, n = 824) and a validation set (three trials, n = 984) that evaluated the benefit of platinum-based adjuvant chemotherapy in non-small-cell lung cancer were used as part of the LACE-Bio (Lung Adjuvant Cisplatin Evaluation Biomarker) study. TLI was defined as intense versus nonintense. The main end point was overall survival (OS); secondary end points were disease-free survival (DFS) and specific DFS (SDFS). Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs associated with TLI were estimated through a multivariable Cox model in both sets. TLI-histology and TLI-treatment interactions were explored in the combined set. RESULTS Discovery and validation sets with complete data included 783 (409 deaths) and 763 (344 deaths) patients, respectively. Median follow-up was 4.8 and 6 years, respectively. TLI was intense in 11% of patients in the discovery set compared with 6% in the validation set (P < .001). The prognostic value of TLI in the discovery set (OS: HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.38 to 0.81; P = .002; DFS: HR, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.83; P = .002; SDFS: HR, 0.56; 95% CI, 0.38 to 0.82; P = .003) was confirmed in the validation set (OS: HR, 0.45; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.85; P = .01; DFS: HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.24 to 0.78; P = .005; SDFS: HR, 0.42; 95% CI, 0.22 to 0.80; P = .008) with no heterogeneity across trials (P ≥ .38 for all end points). No significant predictive effect was observed for TLI (P ≥ .78 for all end points). CONCLUSION Intense lymphocytic infiltration, found in a minority of tumors, was validated as a favorable prognostic marker for survival in resected non-small-cell lung cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence guiding adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) use after lobectomy for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is limited. This study evaluated the impact of AC use and tumor size on outcomes using a large, nationwide cancer database. METHODS The effect of AC on long-term survival among patients who underwent lobectomy for margin-negative pathologic T1-2N0M0 NSCLC in the National Cancer Data Base from 2003 to 2006 was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The specific tumor size threshold at which AC began providing benefit was estimated with multivariable Cox proportional hazards modeling. RESULTS Overall 3,496 of 34,360 patients (10.2%) who met inclusion criteria were treated with AC, although AC use increased over time from 2003, when only 2.7% of patients with tumors less than 4 cm and 6.2% of patients with tumors of 4 cm or larger received AC. In unadjusted survival analysis, AC was associated with a significant 5-year survival benefit for patients with tumors less than 4 cm (74.3% vs 66.9%; P<.0001) and 4 cm or greater (64.8% vs 49.8%; P<.0001). In subanalyses of patients grouped by strata of 0.5-cm increments in tumor size, AC was associated with a survival advantage for tumor sizes ranging from 3.0 to 8.5 cm. CONCLUSIONS Use of AC among patients with stage I NSCLC has increased over time but remains uncommon. The results of this study support current treatment guidelines that recommend AC use after lobectomy for stage I NSCLC tumors larger than 4 cm. These results also suggest that AC use is associated with superior survival for patients with tumors ranging from 3.0 to 8.5 cm in diameter.

Abstract
Adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy significantly improves outcomes of completely resected early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. However, its effect on overall survival is limited and may be unsuitable for many patients due to toxicity. Targeted therapies and individualization of adjuvant treatment offer the potential to improve curability and extend survival of these patients while decreasing toxicity. Here we review Phase II and III studies examining the role of EGF receptor inhibitors, including tyrosine kinase inhibitors and the monoclonal antibody cetuximab, as adjuvant therapy in resected patients or as part of multimodality treatment for stage III NSCLC. Recent results from genotype-directed adjuvant tyrosine kinase inhibitors trials including early-stage NSCLC patients with EGFR mutations are promising, but more data are needed to support their use in this setting.

Abstract
Nonadvanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has a poor long-term survival from surgery or definitive radiation that is minimally improved with induction/adjuvant conventional chemotherapy. EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), which provide a significant benefit for molecularly selected EGFR-mutant patients with advanced NSCLC, have been infrequently explored in nonadvanced NSCLC to date. Current published studies reported no significant benefit from adding EGFR-TKI to the induction/adjuvant setting. However, many of them present eventual biases such as unpowered statistics, lack of molecular selection, recruitment of low-risk NSCLC, low sample size or unsuitable control arms. Results, strengths and deficiencies of completed and ongoing trials were fully discussed. Similarly, the selection of patients and control arms, the duration and risks of EGFR-TKI therapies in early-stage NSCLC, the evaluation of response and the diagnosis of EGFR status were considered and analyzed.

Abstract
PURPOSE Fluorouracil plus leucovorin (FU + LV) adjuvant chemotherapy reduced the risk of recurrence and death across all time points in a pooled analysis of 20,898 patients with colon cancer from 18 randomized studies. The impact of oxaliplatin added to FU + LV on the time course of recurrence and survival remains unknown. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 12,233 patients enrolled to the randomized trials C-07, C-08, N0147, MOSAIC (Adjuvant Treatment of Colon Cancer), and XELOXA (Adjuvant XELOX) were pooled to examine the impact of oxaliplatin and tumor-specific factors on the time course of recurrence and death. For each end point, continuous-time risk was modeled over 6 years post treatment in all oxaliplatin-treated patients and patients concurrently randomized to FU + LV with or without oxaliplatin; the latter analyses supported time-dependent treatment comparisons. RESULTS Addition of oxaliplatin significantly reduced the risk of recurrence within the first 14 months post treatment for patients with stage II disease and within the first 4 years for patients with stage III disease. Oxaliplatin also significantly reduced risk of death from 2 to 6 years post treatment for patients with stage III disease, with no differences in timing of outcomes between treatment groups (ie, oxaliplatin did not simply postpone recurrence or death compared with FU + LV alone). Patients with stage II disease receiving oxaliplatin did not exhibit a significant reduction in risk of death in the first 6 years post treatment. Recurrence risk peaked near 14 months for both treatments, and risk of recurrence and death increased with increased tumor and nodal burden. CONCLUSIONS These analyses support the addition of oxaliplatin to fluoropyrimidine-based adjuvant therapy in patients with stage III disease and underscore the need for adequate surveillance of patients with colon cancer during the first 3 years after adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the present study we aimed to investigate whether the predominance of the lepidic component in tumors was associated with the outcome of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for stage I lung adenocarcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Charts for patients with pathological stage I lung adenocarcinoma were retrospectively reviewed and then outcomes of adjuvant chemotherapy were assessed according to the lepidic component predominance in tumors. Prognostic factors were evaluated using a Cox proportional hazard model. Propensity scores were determined using the optimal matching method on the basis of Cox modeling and matched (1:1) analysis was applied after classification into lepidic and nonlepidic predominant tumors. RESULTS Among 798 patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma, 168 received adjuvant chemotherapy. Although adjuvant chemotherapy conferred no disease-free survival (DFS) advantage upon patients with lepidic predominant tumors, it improved DFS in T1b and T2a nonlepidic predominant tumors (P = .045 and P = .029, respectively). Propensity score matched analysis revealed no survival benefits of adjuvant oral fluoropyrimidines in lepidic predominant tumors (DFS, P = .461 and overall survival, P = .983) and the positive survival advantages in nonlepidic predominant tumors (DFS, P = .015 and overall survival, P = .027). CONCLUSION Adjuvant oral fluoropyrimidines conferred a better survival advantage upon patients with nonlepidic predominant tumors than patients with lepidic predominant tumors. The predominance of a lepidic component could serve as an indicator of adjuvant chemotherapy with oral fluoropyrimidines in stage I lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Four decades of clinical research document the effectiveness of chemotherapy in patients with lung cancers. Chemotherapeutic agents can improve lung cancer symptoms, lengthen life in most patients with lung cancers, and enhance curability in individuals with locoregional disease when combined with surgery or irradiation. Chemotherapy's effectiveness is enhanced in patients with EGFR-mutant and ALK-positive lung cancers and can "rescue" individuals whose oncogene-driven cancers have become resistant to targeted agents. As immunotherapies become part of the therapeutic armamentarium for lung cancers, chemotherapeutic drugs have the potential to modulate the immune system to enhance the effectiveness of immune check point inhibitors. Even in this era of personalized medicine and targeted therapies, chemotherapeutic agents remain essential components in cancer care.

Abstract
Background: Postoperative 1-year administration of S-1, an oral derivative of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), was shown to be feasible in lung cancer. The 5-year survival rates of postoperative patients treated with S-1 adjuvant chemotherapy and the prognostic impact of clinicopathological factors were examined. Methods: The data of 50 patients with curatively resected pathological stage IB to IIIA non-small cell lung cancer, who were treated with S-1 postoperatively, were analyzed. The prognostic impacts of 22 clinicopathological factors including expressions of the 5-FU pathway enzymes were evaluated. A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), i.e. 538G>A (rs17822931), of ABCC11/MRP8, which encodes a 5-FU excretion enzyme that is known as an earwax type determinant, was also evaluated. Results: The 5-year overall and relapse-free survival rates were 72.5 and 67.5%, respectively. A performance status ≥1, lymphatic vessel invasion, blood vessel invasion, and the A/A type of SNP538, which is responsible for the dry earwax type, were significantly associated with shorter relapse-free survivals. In 34 patients who showed a relative performance of 70% or more for chemotherapy, multivariate survival analysis indicated significant hazard ratios only for the A/A type of SNP538 (p = 0.007). Conclusions: S-1 has sufficient power as adjuvant chemotherapy. However, its effect might be small in the dry earwax type patient group in an adjuvant setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations occur in up to 50% of Asian patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Treatment of advanced NSCLC patients with EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) confers a significant survival benefit. This study assessed the efficacy and safety of chemotherapy with or without icotinib in patients undergoing resection of stage IB to ⅢA EGFR-mutated NSCLC. METHODS Patients with surgically resected stage IB (with high risk factors) to ⅢA EGFR-mutated NSCLC were randomly assigned (1:1) to one of two treatment plans. One group received four cycles of platinum-based doublet chemotherapy every three weeks, and the other group received platinum-based chemotherapy supplemented with consolidation therapy of orally administered icotinib (125 mg thrice daily) two weeks after chemotherapy. The icotinib treatment continued for four to eight months, or until the occurrence of disease relapse, metastasis or unacceptable icotinib or chemotherapy toxicity. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival (DFS). RESULTS 41 patients were enrolled between Feb 9, 2011 and Dec 17, 2012. 21 patients were assigned to the combined chemotherapy plus icotinib treatment group, while 20 patients received chemotherapy only. DFS at 12 months was 100% for icotinib-treated patients and 88.9% for chemotherapy-only patients (p = 0. 122). At 18 months DFS for icotinib-treated vs. chemotherapy-only patients was 95.2% vs. 83.3% (p = 0. 225), respectively, and at 24 months DFS was 90.5% vs. 66.7% (p = 0. 066). The adverse chemotherapy effects predominantly presented as gastrointestinal reactions and marrow suppression, and there was no significant difference between the two treatment groups. Patients in the chemotherapy plus icotinib treatment group showed favorable tolerance to oral icotinib. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that chemotherapy plus orally icotinib displayed better DFS compared with chemotherapy only, yet the difference in DFS was not significant. We would think the preliminary result here was promising, and further trials with larger sample sizes might confirm the efficiency of adjuvant TKI in selected patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov NCT02430974.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis of lepidic predominant lung adenocarcinoma is favorable. We postulated that lepidic predominant tumors might not require postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. The present study aims to determine whether lepidic component occupancy affects overall survival after postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS Clinical and pathologic data were collected from a database and from the medical records of 964 patients with completely resected lung adenocarcinoma. We assessed the influence of lepidic component occupancy in the tumor on the outcomes of adjuvant chemotherapy. RESULTS Among the patients, 270 received adjuvant chemotherapy and 694 did not, and 415 and 549 had lepidic predominant and non-lepidic predominant tumors, respectively. Adjuvant chemotherapy contributed to better overall survival compared with observation in non-lepidic predominant tumors (p = 0.025). Multivariate analyses revealed age, sex, stage, lepidic component occupancy, and adjuvant chemotherapy as independent prognostic factors for overall survival. The overall survival was significantly longer for patients with non-lepidic predominant tumors at stages IA, IB, and II-III under adjuvant chemotherapy compared with observation (p = 0.040, p = 0.007, and p = 0.012, respectively), whereas survival rates were similar for patients with all stages of lepidic predominant tumors even after propensity score matching study. CONCLUSIONS Lepidic component occupancy reflected the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy for lung adenocarcinoma. Adjuvant chemotherapy did not have much impact for lepidic predominant tumors and could be considered for non-lepidic predominant tumors even at stage IA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mortality in early stage, resectable lung cancer is sufficiently high to warrant consideration of post-surgical treatment. Novel markers to stratify resectable lung cancer patients may help with the selection of treatment to improve outcome. METHODS Primary tumour tissue from 485 patients, surgically treated for stage I-II lung adenocarcinoma, was analysed for the RNA expression of 31 cell cycle progression (CCP) genes by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The expression average, the CCP score, was combined with pathological stage into a prognostic score (PS). Cox proportional hazards regression assessed prediction of 5-year lung cancer mortality above clinical variables. The PS threshold was tested for risk discrimination by the Mantel-Cox log-rank test. RESULTS The CCP score added significant information above clinical markers (all patients, P=0.0029; stage I patients, P=0.013). The prognostic score was a superior predictor of outcome compared to pathological stage alone (PS, P=0.00084; stage, P=0.24). Five-year lung cancer mortality was significantly different between the low-risk (90%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 81-95%), and high-risk groups (65%, 95% CI 57-72%), P=4.2×10(-6)). CONCLUSIONS The CCP score is an independent prognostic marker in early stage lung adenocarcinoma. The prognostic score provides superior risk estimates than stage alone. The threefold higher risk in the high-risk group defines a subset of patients that should consider therapeutic choices to improve outcome.

Abstract
Most long-term survivors of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are patients who have had a completely resected tumour. However, this is only achievable in about 30% of the patients. Even in this highly selected group of patients, there is still a high risk of both local and distant failure. Adjuvant treatments such as chemotherapy (CT) and radiotherapy (RT) have therefore been evaluated in order to improve their outcome. In patients with stage II and III, administration of adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy is now considered the standard of care, based on level 1 evidence. The role of postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) remains controversial. In the PORT meta-analysis published in 1998, the conclusions were that if PORT was detrimental to patients with stage I and II completely resected NSCLC, the role of PORT in the treatment of tumours with N2 involvement was unclear and further research was warranted. Thus at present, after complete resection, adjuvant radiotherapy should not be administered in patients with early lung cancer. Recent retrospective and non-randomised studies, as well as subgroup analyses of recent randomised trials evaluating adjuvant chemotherapy, provide evidence of the possible benefit of PORT in patients with mediastinal nodal involvement. The role of PORT needs to be evaluated also for patients with proven N2 disease who undergo neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery. The risk of local recurrence for N2 patients varies between 20% and 60%. Based on currently available data, PORT should be discussed for fit patients with completely resected NSCLC with N2 nodal involvement, preferably after completion of adjuvant chemotherapy or after surgery if patients have had preoperative chemotherapy. There is a need for new randomised evidence to reassess PORT using modern three-dimensional conformal radiation technique, with attention to normal organ sparing, particularly lung and heart, to reduce the possible over-added toxicity. Quality assurance of radiotherapy as well as quality of surgery – and most particularly nodal exploration modality – should both be monitored. A new large multi-institutional randomised trial Lung ART evaluating PORT in this patient population is needed and is now under way.

Abstract
Aim We examined the advantages of thoracoscopy over thoracotomy in terms of perioperative outcomes and toleration of adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods Between April 2010 and March 2013, 657 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer who underwent lobectomy were classified into thoracoscopy (308 patients) and thoracotomy (349 patients) groups and compared. Results The thoracoscopy group had less blood loss compared to the thoracotomy group ( p < 0.001). When limiting the analysis to pathological stage I patients, the results were similar ( p < 0.001). In addition, the difference in blood loss between the 2 groups was greater in patients with severe pleural adhesions. The postoperative morbidity of the thoracoscopy group was significantly less than that of the thoracotomy group (13.3% vs. 21.2%, p < 0.001), and this result was similar when analyzing the pathological stage I patients (12.6% vs. 20.6%, p = 0.001). A higher percentage of the thoracoscopy group received both the full planned course and dose of adjuvant chemotherapy compared to the thoracotomy group (84.2% vs. 65.8%, p = 0.032). Conclusions These results indicate that totally thoracoscopic lobectomy is the more beneficial surgical approach with regard to the incidence of postoperative complications and toleration of adjuvant chemotherapy.

Abstract
Surgery is still the best treatment option of lung cancer but only one third of patients are operable and prognosis remains mediocre in operated patients, with the exception of initial stages. Medical treatment is fast moving toward new frontiers. New insights in the biology of cancer development led to discovery of new drugs, which are more effective as compared to conventional platinum based chemotherapy. A new approach to immunotherapy based on immune-check point represents a remarkable innovation in lung cancer treatment. Initial trials with anti PD-1 antibodies in metastatic patients provided results never observed with previously known drug categories. Several key question need to be answered to identify patients most likely to respond to anti PD-1/anti PD-L1 treatments, to assess the role of combined treatment modalities including immune check point receptor block (associations with surgery, chemotherapy, ITKs), and to boost host immune response, possibly by lowering his systemic inflammation and improving nutritional status.

Abstract
Adjuvant chemotherapy is recommended for postoperative stage II-IIIB nonsmall cell lung cancer patients. However, its effect remains controversial in stage IB patients. We, therefore, performed a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy of adjuvant chemotherapy versus surgery alone in stage IB patients. Six electronic databases were searched for relevant articles. The primary and secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). The time-to-event outcomes were compared by hazard ratio using log-rank test. Sixteen eligible trials were identified. A total of 4656 patients were included and divided into 2 groups: 2338 in the chemotherapy group and 2318 in the control group (surgery only). Patients received platinum-based therapy, uracil-tegafur, or a combination of them. Our results demonstrated that patients can benefit from the adjuvant chemotherapy in terms of OS (HR 0.74 95% CI 0.63-0.88) and DFS (HR 0.64 95% CI 0.46-0.89). Patients who received 6-cycle platinum-based therapy (HR 0.45 95% CI 0.29-0.69), uracil-tegafur (HR 0.71 95% CI 0.56-0.90), or a combination of them (HR 0.51 95% CI 0.36-0.74) had better OS, but patients who received 4 or fewer cycles platinum-based therapy (HR 0.97 95% CI 0.85-1.11) did not. Moreover, 6-cycle platinum-based therapy (HR 0.29 95% CI 0.13-0.63) alone or in combination with uracil-tegafur (HR 0.44 95% CI 0.30-0.66) had advantages in DFS. However, 4 or fewer cycles of platinum-based therapy (HR 0.89 95% CI 0.76-1.04) or uracil-tegafur alone (HR 1.19 95% CI 0.79-1.80) were not beneficial. Six-cycle platinum-based chemotherapy can improve OS and DFS in stage IB NSCLC patients. Uracil-tegafur alone or in combination with platinum-based therapy is beneficial to the patients in terms of OS, but uracil-tegafur seems to have no advantage in prolonging DFS, unless it is administered with platinum-based therapy.

Abstract
分子靶向治疗在晚期非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)患者的治疗中起着越来越重要的作用。肝细胞生长因子/c-MET(hepatocyte growth factor/c-MET, HGF/c-MET)信号通路在NSCLC的发生、发展及NSCLC患者对表皮生长因子受体抑制剂(epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor, EGFR-TKI)的耐药方面都起着重要的作用,其已经成为NSCLC分子靶向治疗的又一热点。c-MET扩增或过表达被认为可能是继EGFR和间变淋巴瘤激酶(anaplastic lymphoma kinase, ALK)融合基因之后,NSCLC又一特征性的基因突变。HGF/c-MET抑制剂也在临床前的研究中取得良好的抗肿瘤效果。近期公布的一些Ⅱ期/Ⅲ期临床研究的数据显示,HGF/c-MET抑制剂可以使部分c-MET扩增或过表达的NSCLC患者生存获益。因此,本文就HGF/c-MET抑制剂治疗NSCLC的研究进展做一综述。

Abstract
PURPOSE Current National Comprehensive Cancer Network guidelines recommend postoperative radiation therapy (PORT) for patients with resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with N2 involvement. We investigated the relationship between nodal stage and local-regional recurrence (LR), distant recurrence (DR) and overall survival (OS) for patients having an R0 resection. METHODS AND MATERIALS A multi-institutional database of consecutive patients undergoing R0 resection for stage I-IIIA NSCLC from 1995 to 2008 was used. Patients receiving any radiation therapy before relapse were excluded. A total of 1241, 202, and 125 patients were identified with N0, N1, and N2 involvement, respectively; 161 patients received chemotherapy. Cumulative incidence rates were calculated for LR and DR as first sites of failure, and Kaplan-Meier estimates were made for OS. Competing risk analysis and proportional hazards models were used to examine LR, DR, and OS. Independent variables included age, sex, surgical procedure, extent of lymph node sampling, histology, lymphatic or vascular invasion, tumor size, tumor grade, chemotherapy, nodal stage, and visceral pleural invasion. RESULTS The median follow-up time was 28.7 months. Patients with N1 or N2 nodal stage had rates of LR similar to those of patients with N0 disease, but were at significantly increased risk for both DR (N1, hazard ratio [HR] = 1.84, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.30-2.59; P=.001; N2, HR = 2.32, 95% CI: 1.55-3.48; P<.001) and death (N1, HR = 1.46, 95% CI: 1.18-1.81; P<.001; N2, HR = 2.33, 95% CI: 1.78-3.04; P<.001). LR was associated with squamous histology, visceral pleural involvement, tumor size, age, wedge resection, and segmentectomy. The most frequent site of LR was the mediastinum. CONCLUSIONS Our investigation demonstrated that nodal stage is directly associated with DR and OS but not with LR. Thus, even some patients with, N0-N1 disease are at relatively high risk of local recurrence. Prospective identification of risk factors for local recurrence may aid in selecting an appropriate population for further study of postoperative radiation therapy.

Abstract
Adjuvant chemotherapy (AC) plays now a significant role in the treatment of resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients and has become standard in clinical practice. It took more than two decades of clinical research to show its value, but it is has been well established that its benefit translates into a 4-5% absolute increase in 5-year survival according to published meta-analysis. This improvement is obtained with two-drug, Cisplatin-based regimens (multiples choices are acceptable but vinorelbine is the drug with more reported evidence) and usually four courses are recommended. Survival increase is restricted to cases in which there is involvement of lymph nodes (both N1 and N2 levels). For N0 cases AC might be considered, with a lower level of evidence, for tumors larger than 4 cm in diameter. At the present time, molecular predictive factors and gene signatures are investigational. Patient selection is of paramount importance. Proper recovery from surgery and the absence of major comorbidities are essential features. Toxicity is significant, but manageable and transient. Neutropenia is the most relevant side effect due to the risk of febrile neutropenia. The role of timing of administration, adjuvant radiotherapy (RT) and of newer drugs under evaluation is also reviewed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains (LRIG) family of transmembrane proteins are involved in the regulation of cellular signal transduction. LRIG1 is an endogenous inhibitor of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) and an emerging tumor suppressor. In the lung epithelium, the expression of LRIG1 is downregulated by tobacco smoking, and further downregulated in lung squamous cell carcinoma. MATERIAL AND METHODS The expression of LRIG proteins were analyzed in 347 cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) by immunohistochemistry, and LRIG1 mRNA expression was evaluated in 807 lung cancer samples in silico in the Oncomine database. Potential associations between the expression data and the clinical parameters, including patient survival, were investigated. RESULTS Expression of the LRIG1 protein was found to be an independent prognostic factor in NSCLC, whereas expression of LRIG2 or LRIG3 did not correlate with patient survival. The levels of LRIG1 mRNA also correlated with the survival of NSCLC patients. CONCLUSION These findings demonstrate that LRIG1 is an independent prognostic factor in patients with NSCLC that could be important in future decision-making algorithms for adjuvant lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
The ability to reliably distinguish synchronous primary non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) from intrapulmonary metastatic spread affects staging and treatment decisions in resected NSCLC. Adjuvant therapy for early-stage NSCLC is complicated and recommendations are primarily based on older data from trials that used now-outdated staging systems. Patients found to have 2 tumors with similar morphology in the same lobe are currently staged as pathologic T3 (pT3) but such cases represent a minority of patients in adjuvant lung cancer trials. Potentially more precise than tumor morphology alone, comprehensive genomic profiling technologies have the power to discriminate whether tumors in the same lobe represent 2 separate primary lesions or localized spread of a single lesion. In addition to lineage insights, tumor profiling simultaneously provides information on actionable genomic alterations. In this review we discuss the data that support the ability of molecular technologies to distinguish synchronous primary tumors from intrapulmonary metastases and discuss the use of molecular assays as an adjunct to current staging systems. Two cases are presented to highlight the potential immediate clinical implications of comprehensive genomic profiling.

Abstract
In early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) large randomized trials have demonstrated that in patients with radically resected disease adjuvant chemotherapy improves 5-year survival rates. However, a customization of systemic treatment is needed to avoid treatments in patients cured by surgery alone or to justify the use of adjuvant chemotherapy in high risk patients, including those in stage IA. Recently, the possibility of identifying prognostic and predictive factors related to the genetic signatures of the tumor that could affect adjuvant and neo-adjuvant treatment choices for resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been of interest. This review summarizes the current status and future opportunities for clinical application of genotyping and genomic tests in early NSCLC.

Abstract
Lung cancer accounts for the majority of cancer-related deaths worldwide. At present, platinum-based therapy represents the standard of care in fit stage II and IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients following surgical resection. In advanced disease, personalized chemotherapy and targeted biologic therapy based on histological and molecular tumor profiling have already shown promise in terms of optimizing treatment efficacy. While disease stage is associated with outcome and is commonly used to determine adjuvant treatment eligibility, it is known that a subset of patients with early stage disease experience shorter survival than others with the same clinicopathological characteristics. Improved methods for identifying these individuals, at or near the time of initial diagnosis, may inform the decision to pursue adjuvant therapy options. Among the numerous candidate molecular biomarkers, only few gene-expression profiling signatures provide clinically relevant information, while real-time quantitative polymerase-chain reaction (RT-qPCR) strategy involving relatively small numbers of genes offers a practical alternative with high cross-platform performance. mRNA and/or protein expression levels of excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1), ribonucleotide reductase M subunit 1 (RRM1) and breast cancer susceptibility gene 1 (BRCA1) are among the most promising potential biomarkers for early disease and their clinical utility is currently being evaluated in randomized phase II and III clinical trials. This review describes the most promising clinicopathological and molecular biomarkers with predictive and prognostic significance in lung cancer that have been identified through advanced research and which could influence adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy decisions for operable NSCLC in routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Surgery is regarded as the primary treatment modality for early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but even after complete resection, a substantial percentage of these patients eventually develop local recurrence or distant metastases. Therefore more effective treatment strategies to reduce lung cancer mortality and recurrence rate are needed. Only recently has the use of adjuvant chemotherapy become standard in early stage NSCLC, at least for stage II and resected IIIA NSCLC. Controversies remain about the benefit for stage I patients. Five-year survival improvements of 5% to 10% have been reported with cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy from multiple large randomized phase III clinical trials and meta-analyses. Questions remain as to which patients benefit and which regimens are best. In this paper, important clinical research in the field of adjuvant chemotherapy of NSCLC is reviewed.

Abstract
Adjuvant chemotherapy has been established as a standard for patients with completely resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Adjuvant chemotherapy increased the 5-year survival rates by 4% to 15% within randomized trials and, based on a meta-analysis of five cisplatin-based trials, by 5.4%. Adjuvant chemotherapy consists of a cisplatin-based doublet, preferentially cisplatin plus vinorelbine. Future improvements in outcome of adjuvant therapy are expected by customized chemotherapy and the integration of targeted therapies or immunotherapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate the effects of administering chemotherapy following surgery, or following surgery plus radiotherapy (known as adjuvant chemotherapy) in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC),we performed two systematic reviews and meta-analyses of all randomised controlled trials using individual participant data. Results were first published in The Lancet in 2010. OBJECTIVES To compare, in terms of overall survival, time to locoregional recurrence, time to distant recurrence and recurrence-free survival:A. Surgery versus surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapyB. Surgery plus radiotherapy versus surgery plus radiotherapy plus adjuvant chemotherapyin patients with histologically diagnosed early stage NSCLC.(2)To investigate whether or not predefined patient subgroups benefit more or less from cisplatin-based chemotherapy in terms of survival. SEARCH METHODS We supplemented MEDLINE and CANCERLIT searches (1995 to December 2013) with information from trial registers, handsearching relevant meeting proceedings and by discussion with trialists and organisations. SELECTION CRITERIA We included trials of a) surgery versus surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy; and b) surgery plus radiotherapy versus surgery plus radiotherapy plus adjuvant chemotherapy, provided that they randomised NSCLC patients using a method which precluded prior knowledge of treatment assignment. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS We carried out a quantitative meta-analysis using updated information from individual participants from all randomised trials. Data from all patients were sought from those responsible for the trial. We obtained updated individual participant data (IPD) on survival, and date of last follow-up, as well as details of treatment allocated, date of randomisation, age, sex, histological cell type, stage, and performance status. To avoid potential bias, we requested information for all randomised patients, including those excluded from the investigators' original analyses. We conducted all analyses on intention-to-treat on the endpoint of survival. For trials using cisplatin-based regimens, we carried out subgroup analyses by age, sex, histological cell type, tumour stage, and performance status. MAIN RESULTS We identified 35 trials evaluating surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy versus surgery alone. IPD were available for 26 of these trials and our analyses are based on 8447 participants (3323 deaths) in 34 trial comparisons. There was clear evidence of a benefit of adding chemotherapy after surgery (hazard ratio (HR)= 0.86, 95% confidence interval (CI)= 0.81 to 0.92, p< 0.0001), with an absolute increase in survival of 4% at five years.We identified 15 trials evaluating surgery plus radiotherapy plus chemotherapy versus surgery plus radiotherapy alone. IPD were available for 12 of these trials and our analyses are based on 2660 participants (1909 deaths) in 13 trial comparisons. There was also evidence of a benefit of adding chemotherapy to surgery plus radiotherapy (HR= 0.88, 95% CI= 0.81 to 0.97, p= 0.009). This represents an absolute improvement in survival of 4% at five years.For both meta-analyses, we found similar benefits for recurrence outcomes and there was little variation in effect according to the type of chemotherapy, other trial characteristics or patient subgroup.We did not undertake analysis of the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy on quality of life and adverse events. Quality of life information was not routinely collected during the trials, but where toxicity was assessed and mentioned in the publications, it was thought to be manageable. We considered the risk of bias in the included trials to be low. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Results from 47 trial comparisons and 11,107 patients demonstrate the clear benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy for these patients, irrespective of whether chemotherapy was given in addition to surgery or surgery plus radiotherapy. This is the most up-to-date and complete systematic review and individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis that has been carried out.

Abstract
Background Even after curative resection, the prognosis of pathological stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) can be heterogeneous, and the use of adjuvant chemotherapy in these patients is controversial. We aimed to identify the prognostic factors and role of adjuvant chemotherapy in pathological stage I NSCLC. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the correlations between clinicopathological factors and survival in 179 patients with resected pathological stage I NSCLC. Results After a median follow-up of 93 months, overall and disease-free survival were not significantly different between pathological stage IA (n = 138) and IB (n = 41) patients. The prognosis of pathological stage I patients with poorly differentiated tumors was significantly worse than that of those with non-poorly differentiated tumors (P = 0.003). Multivariate analysis revealed that poor tumor differentiation was an independent factor for poor survival (hazard ratio = 6.889). A marginally significant survival benefit was observed in poorly differentiated pathological stage I patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy (P = 0.053). Pathological stage IA patients who received adjuvant chemotherapy had a worse prognosis than those who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (P < 0.001), whereas pathological stage IA patients with poorly differentiated tumors who received adjuvant chemotherapy had better survival than who did not receive adjuvant chemotherapy (P < 0.001). Conclusions Poor differentiation is an independent prognostic factor in pathological stage I NSCLC after surgical resection. Adjuvant chemotherapy may be beneficial in poorly differentiated pathological stage IA NSCLC patients.

Abstract
AIMS Cisplatin (CDDP) is a platinum-based drug that is widely used in cancer chemotherapy, but the development of resistance in tumor cells is a major weakness of these treatments. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain cisplatin resistance, and disruption of certain cellular pathways could modulate drug sensitivity to cisplatin. A lower level of cross-resistance to cisplatin leads to better outcomes in clinical use. MAIN METHODS Cross-resistance was assessed using cisplatin resistant lung cancer cell line A549/CDDP. Cell cycle analysis was used to examine the effect of cisplatin on cell signaling pathways regulating G2/M transition in cisplatin resistant cells. KEY FINDINGS A549/CDDP cells exhibited cross-resistance to carboplatin, but not oxaliplatin, which is often found in platinum analogues. Flow cytometry showed that nocodazole treatment caused a G2/M block in both A549/CDDP cells and cisplatin susceptible cells. However, A549/CDDP cells escaped the G2/M block following exposure to cisplatin. Activation of the Cdc2/CyclinB complex is required for transition from G2 to M phase, and the inactive form of phosphorylated Cdc2 is activated by Cdc25C dephosphorylation of Tyr15. In the cisplatin-treated susceptible cells, the levels of phosphorylated Cdc2 and Cdc25C were markedly decreased, leading to a loss of Cdc2 activity and G2/M arrest. In A549/CDDP cells, however, Cdc2 activity was supported by the expression of Cdc2 and Cdc25C after the addition of cisplatin, which resulted in G2/M progression. SIGNIFICANCE The resistance phenotype of G2/M progression has been correlated with dysregulation of Cdc2 in a human lung cancer cell line selected for cisplatin.

Abstract
PURPOSE While the dysregulation of specific pathways in cancer influences both treatment response and outcome, few current prognostic markers explicitly consider differential pathway activation. Here we explore this concept, focusing on K-Ras mutations in lung adenocarcinoma (present in 25%-35% of patients). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The effect of K-Ras mutation status on prognostic accuracy of existing signatures was evaluated in 404 patients. Genes associated with K-Ras mutation status were identified and used to create a RAS pathway activation classifier to provide a more accurate measure of RAS pathway status. Next, 8 million random signatures were evaluated to assess differences in prognosing patients with or without RAS activation. Finally, a prognostic signature was created to target patients with RAS pathway activation. RESULTS We first show that K-Ras status influences the accuracy of existing prognostic signatures, which are effective in K-Ras-wild-type patients but fail in patients with K-Ras mutations. Next, we show that it is fundamentally more difficult to predict the outcome of patients with RAS activation (RAS(mt)) than that of those without (RAS(wt)). More importantly, we demonstrate that different signatures are prognostic in RAS(wt) and RAS(mt). Finally, to exploit this discovery, we create separate prognostic signatures for RAS(wt) and RAS(mt) patients and show that combining them significantly improves predictions of patient outcome. CONCLUSIONS We present a nested model for integrated genomic and transcriptomic data. This model is general and is not limited to lung adenocarcinomas but can be expanded to other tumor types and oncogenes.

Abstract
In randomized clinical trials where the times to event of two treatment groups are compared under a proportional hazards assumption, it has been established that omitting prognostic factors from the model entails an underestimation of the hazards ratio. Heterogeneity due to unobserved covariates in cancer patient populations is a concern since genomic investigations have revealed molecular and clinical heterogeneity in these populations. In HIV prevention trials, heterogeneity is unavoidable and has been shown to decrease the treatment effect over time. This article assesses the influence of trial duration on the bias of the estimated hazards ratio resulting from omitting covariates from the Cox analysis. The true model is defined by including an unobserved random frailty term in the individual hazard that reflects the omitted covariate. Three frailty distributions are investigated: gamma, log-normal, and binary, and the asymptotic bias of the hazards ratio estimator is calculated. We show that the attenuation of the treatment effect resulting from unobserved heterogeneity strongly increases with trial duration, especially for continuous frailties that are likely to reflect omitted covariates, as they are often encountered in practice. The possibility of interpreting the long-term decrease in treatment effects as a bias induced by heterogeneity and trial duration is illustrated by a trial in oncology where adjuvant chemotherapy in stage 1B NSCLC was investigated.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Performance status (PS) is the only known clinical predictor of outcome in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), although pharmacogenomic markers may also correlate with outcome. The aim of our study was to correlate clinical and pharmacogenomic measures with overall survival. METHODS This was an IRB approved, retrospective study in which the medical records of 50 patients with advanced NSCLC from 1998–2008 were reviewed, and gender, race, PS, and chemotherapy regimens were documented. Stromal expression of pharmacogenomic markers (VEGFR, ERCC1, 14-3-3σ, pAKT, and PTEN) was measured. Clinical factors and pharmacogenomics markers were compared to overall survival using a Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS Forty patients received platinum-based therapy. Median age was 65 years. Improved PS, female gender, and gemcitabine therapy were significantly associated with longer overall survival (P = 0.004, P = 0.04, and P = 0.003, respectively). Age was not associated with survival. Caucasians had better overall survival in comparison to African Americans with median survival of 14.8 months versus 10.4 months (P = 0.1). Patients treated with platinum-based therapy had better survival of 15 months versus 8 months for non-platinum based therapy (P = 0.01). There was no significant association between any of the pharmacogenomics markers and overall survival other than in patients treated with platinum, in whom ERCC1 negativity was strongly associated with longer survival (P = 0.007). CONCLUSION ERCC1 negativity with platinum therapy, gemcitabine therapy, good PS, and female gender all correlated with improved overall survival in patients with advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
Lung cancer is a commonly diagnosed cancer. In this era of personalized medicine, genetic predictive models are becoming increasingly important. However, many current predictive models fail verification tests due to small sample sizes and institutional biases. We collected 17 gene expression datasets from public databases to generate our largest training and testing cohorts. After successfully eliminating institutional variations and merging multiple datasets, we generated a training cohort of 1073 and a testing cohort of 659. Using Siggenes, univariate and multivariate analyses, we identified seven gene signatures, and combined them with the clinical parameter age and stage to design the lung cancer prognostic index (LCPI). Using LCPI, we could differentiate lung cancer patients into three risk groups and predict patient survival probabilities at 10 and 15 year post-surgical resection. We extensively verified the predictive ability of LCPI for overall and recurrence free survival using 6 other datasets from five different countries.

Abstract
Non-small-cell lung cancer remains a leading cause of death around the world. For most cases, the only chance of cure comes from resection for localised disease, however relapse rates remain high following surgery. Data has emerged over recent years regarding the utility of adjuvant chemotherapy for improving disease-free and overall survival of patients following curative resection. This paper reviews the clinical trials that have been conducted in this area along with the studies integrating radiation therapy in the adjuvant setting. The role of prognostic gene signatures are reviewed as well as ongoing clinical trials including those incorporating biological or targeted therapies.

Abstract
With regard to pathologic stage IIA (pIIA) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), there is a paucity of literature evaluating the risk factors for disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). The aim of this study was to identify the prognostic factors of DFS and OS in patients with NSCLC pIIA.We performed a retrospective review of 98 stage II patients (7th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer) who underwent lung resection from January 2005 to February 2011. Of these, 23 patients were excluded for this study because of loss of follow-up or different substage, and 75 patients with pIIA were included for further univariate and multivariate analysis. Risk factors for DFS and OS were analyzed, including age, gender, smoking history, operation method, histology, differential grade, visceral pleural invasion, angiolymphatic invasion, and metastatic N1 lymph node ratio (LNR).Of the 75 patients with pIIA NSCLC who were examined, 29 were female and 46 were male, with a mean age of 61.8 years (range: 34-83 years). The average tumor size was 3.188 cm (range: 1.10-6.0 cm). Under univariate analysis, angiolymphatic invasion and metastatic N1 LNR were risk factors for DFS (P = 0.011, P = 0.007). Under multivariate analysis, angiolymphatic invasion and metastatic N1 LNR were all independent risk factors for DFS, while adjuvant chemotherapy and higher metastatic N1 LNR were independent prognostic factors for OS.For patients with pIIA, higher metastatic N1 LNR and angiolymphatic invasion were related to poor DFS. In addition to DFS, higher metastatic N1 LNR was also a poor prognostic factor for OS rates and adjuvant therapy effectiveness. Clinical physicians should devise different postsurgical follow-up programs depending on these factors, especially for patients with high risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study was conducted to observe the outcomes of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) with or without concurrent chemotherapy in resected non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in single institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS From 2002 to 2013, 78 patients diagnosed with NSCLC after curative resection were treated with radiotherapy alone (RT, n = 48) or concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT, n = 30). The indications of adjuvant radiation therapy were N2 node positive (n = 31), close or involved resection margin (n = 28), or gross residual disease due to incomplete resection (n = 19). The median radiation dose was 57.6 Gy (range, 29.9 to 66 Gy). RESULTS Median survival time was 33.7 months (range, 4.4 to 140.3 months). The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 49.5% (RT 46% vs. CCRT 55.2%; p = 0.731). The 3-year disease-free survival rate was 45.5% (RT 39.4% vs. CCRT 55.3%; p = 0.130). The 3-year local control rate was 68.1% (RT 64.4% vs. CCRT 77.7%; p = 0.165). The 3-year DMFS rate was 56.1% (RT 52.6% vs. CCRT 61.7%; p = 0.314). In multivariate analysis, age ≥66 years and pathologic stage III were significant poor prognostic factors for OS. Treatment failure occurred in 40 patients. Four patients had radiologically confirmed grade 3 radiation pneumonitis. CONCLUSION In NSCLC, adjuvant RT or CCRT after curative surgery is a safe and feasible modality of treatment. OS gain was seen in patients less than 66 years. Postoperative CCRT showed a propensity of achieving better local control and improved disease-free survival compared to RT alone according to our data.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy has become the standard therapy against resected nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Because of variable results on its late effect, we reanalyze the long-term data of the International Adjuvant Lung Cancer Trial (IALT) to describe in details the role of adjuvant chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS In the IALT, 1867 patients were randomized between adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy and control, who were followed up for a median of 7.5 years. Of these, 1687 patients were enrolled from 132 centers accepting to report the times to cancer events. We used event history methodology to estimate the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy on the risks of local relapse, distant metastasis, and death. RESULTS Adjuvant chemotherapy was highly effective against local relapses [HR = 0.73; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.60-0.90; P = 0.003] and nonbrain metastases (HR = 0.79; 95% CI 0.66-0.94; P = 0.008) but not against brain metastases (HR = 1.1; 95% CI 0.82-1.4; P = 0.61). The effect on noncancer mortality was nonsignificant during the first 5 years (HR = 1.1; 95% CI 0.81-1.5; P = 0.29), whereas the risk of noncancer mortality was subsequently higher with treatment (HR = 3.6; 95% CI 2.2-5.9; P < 0.001). This harmful effect, however, potentially concerned only about 2% of the patients at 8 years. CONCLUSION Adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy reduced the risk of local relapse and of nonbrain metastasis, thereby improving survival. This treatment exerted no residual effect on mortality during the first 5 years, but a higher risk of noncancer mortality was found thereafter. Detailed long-term follow-up is strongly recommended for all patients in randomized trials evaluating adjuvant treatments in NSCLC.

Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the most common human malignancies and remains the leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide. Many recent technological advances led to improved diagnostics and staging of lung cancer. With development of new treatment options such as targeted therapies there might be improvement in progression free survival of patients with advanced stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Improvement in overall survival is still reserved for selected patients and selected treatments. One of the mostly investigated therapeutic options is adjuvant treatment. There are many open issues in selection of patients and administration of appropriate adjuvant treatment.
