Abstract
PURPOSE For patients with locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC) that progressed after definitive chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and durvalumab consolidation therapy, no subsequent standard treatment exists. The type of treatment selected for each timing of disease progression and its efficacy have not been investigated. METHODS We retrospectively enrolled patients with LA-NSCLC or inoperable NSCLC that progressed after definitive CRT and durvalumab consolidation therapy at 15 Japanese institutions. Patients were classified into the following: Early Discontinuation group (disease progression within 6 months after durvalumab initiation), Late Discontinuation group (disease progression from 7 to 12 months after durvalumab initiation), and Accomplishment group (disease progression from 12 months after durvalumab initiation). RESULTS Altogether, 127 patients were analyzed, including 50 (39.4%), 42 (33.1%) and 35 (27.5%) patients from the Early Discontinuation, Late Discontinuation, and Accomplishment groups, respectively. Subsequent treatments were Platinum plus immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in 18 (14.2%), ICI in 7 (5.5%), Platinum in 59 (46.4%), Non-Platinum in 35 (27.6%), and tyrosine kinase inhibitor in 8 (6.3%) patients. In the Early Discontinuation, Late Discontinuation, and Accomplishment groups, 4 (8.0%), 7 (16.7%), and 7 (20.0%) patients were receiving Platinum plus ICI; 21 (42.0%), 22 (52.4%), and 16 (45.7%) were receiving Platinum, and 20 (40.0%), 8 (19.0%), and 7 (20.0%) were receiving Non-Platinum, respectively. No significant difference in progression-free survival was observed in the timing of disease progression. CONCLUSION In patients with LA-NSCLC hat progressed after definitive CRT and durvalumab consolidation therapy, subsequent treatment may change depending on the timing of disease progression.

Abstract
Cytoskeleton-associated protein 2-like (CKAP2L), a cell cycle-related protein, is correlated to tumor progression in some tumors. But there were no pan-cancer studies on CKAP2L, and its role in cancer immunotherapy is also unclear. The expression levels, expression activity, genomic alterations, DNA methylation and functions of CKAP2L in various tumors, as well as the associations between CKAP2L expression and patient prognosis, chemotherapy sensitivity, and tumor immune microenvironment, were all analyzed in a comprehensive pan-cancer analysis of CKAP2L by various databases, analysis websites, and R software. The experiments were also conducted to verify the analysis results. In the majority of cancers, CKAP2L expression and activity were markedly elevated. Elevated CKAP2L expression led to poor prognostic outcomes in patients, and is an independent risk factor for most tumors. Elevated CKAP2L causes decreased sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. Knockdown of CKAP2L significantly inhibited the proliferation and metastasis capacity of the KIRC cell lines and resulted in cell cycle G2/M arrest. In addition, CKAP2L was closely related to immune subtypes, immune cell infiltration, immunomodulators and immunotherapy markers (TMB, MSI), patients with high CKAP2L expression were more sensitive to immunotherapy in the IMvigor210 cohort. The results indicate that CKAP2L is a pro-cancer gene that serves as a potential biomarker for predicting patient outcomes. By inducing cells to transition from the G2 phase to the M phase, CKAP2L may promote cell proliferation and metastasis. Furthermore, CKAP2L is closely related to the tumor immune microenvironment and can be used as a biomarker to predict tumor immunotherapy.

Incidence and Risk of Lung Cancer in Tuberculosis Patients, and Vice Versa: A Literature Review of the Last Decade. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:1702819. [PMID: 36578803 PMCID: PMC9792248 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1702819] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 12/13/2022] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
Background The incidence and risk of both lung cancer (LC) and tuberculosis (TB) are increasing rapidly. These two diseases frequently exist together and can influence the incidence and risk of each other. The aim of the current review was to summarize the incidence and risk of LC in TB patients, and vice versa, short out research gap, and contemplate future research perspectives. Methodology. PubMed and Scopus databases, and Google Scholar search engine were searched for epidemiological studies that investigated the incidence and risk of TB and LC, published since January 2011 to April 2022, and written in English. We used the searching keyword "tuberculosis" combined with "lung cancer" and associated medical subject heading (MeSH) to retrieve eligible research articles. We retrieved information's regarding the diagnosis of TB and LC, confounders, the associations of TB and LC, and incidence and risks of each other. Results We found higher incidence rate and risks (1.64 to 6 times higher) of LC in TB patients in comparison to non-TB participants. However, the incidence rate and risks of TB in LC patients were comparatively low. Male patients were exhibited higher risks than female. The medical comorbidities, smoking habits, and age can also influence the associations and risks of LC in TB patients or vice versa. Conclusion Our summarized studies might suggest that existing active TB may increase the incidence and risk of LC. However, large prospective cohort study is warranted to explore the real scenario worldwide.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The therapeutic efficacy of cytotoxic anticancer drugs has been reported to be enhanced after immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in non-small cell lung cancer; however, it is unclear whether the same is applicable for small cell lung cancer (SCLC). We evaluated the efficacy of second-line amrubicin (AMR) following first-line platinum-based chemotherapy and ICI combination therapy (chemo-ICI) in SCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients with SCLC treated with AMR as a second-line following chemo-ICI as first-line between July 2019 and April 2021 from 16 institutions throughout Japan. We investigated the therapeutic effectiveness, safety, and efficacy-enhancing variables of AMR. RESULTS Overall, 89 patients treated with AMR after first-line chemo-ICI were analyzed. The overall response rate (ORR) was 29.2% (95% confidence intervals [CI], 20.1-39.8) and median PFS (m PFS) was 2.99 months (95% CI, 2.27-3.65). Patients who relapsed more than 90 days after receiving first-line platinum combination therapy (sensitive relapse) exhibited greater ORR (58.3% vs. 24.7%, p = 0.035) and m PFS (5.03 vs. 2.56 months, p = 0.019) than patients who relapsed in <90 days (refractory relapse). Grade 3 or higher adverse events were mainly hematological toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggested that the therapeutic effect of AMR was not enhanced after ICI on SCLC. However, AMR may be effective in cases of sensitive relapse after chemo-ICI. There was no increase in severe toxicity associated with AMR after ICI.

Curr Oncol 2022; 29:7979-7986. [PMID: 36290908 PMCID: PMC9600390 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol29100631] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 10/16/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 01/13/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic differences between patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) with different chemosensitivity to first-line chemotherapy who developed brain metastasis (BM) as the first site of progression. METHODS Patients with a BM after first-line treatment in the Tianjin Cancer Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. According to the time-free interval (TFI) between the completion of first-line chemotherapy and the onset of the BM, the patients were divided into the chemo-sensitive group (TFI ≥ 90 days, n = 145) and the chemo-resistant group (TFI < 90 days, n = 97). The survival time, which was calculated from the diagnosis of the BM, was analyzed after the onset of brain metastasis (BM-OS). Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan-Meier method, and differences between groups were compared using the log-rank test. RESULTS In total, the median BM-OS was 8.4 months. The median BM-OS in the chemo-sensitive group was 8.8 months, and it was 8.0 months in the chemo-resistant group (p = 0.538). In patients without extracranial progression (n = 193), the median BM-OSes in the chemo-sensitive and chemo-resistant groups were 9.4 months and 9.7 months, respectively (p = 0.947). In patients with extracranial progression (n = 49), the median BM-OSes in the chemo-sensitive and chemo-resistant groups were 5.4 months and 4.2 months, respectively (p = 0.161). Conclusions: After the development of a BM as the first site of progression following chemotherapy in patients with SCLC, the prognosis of chemo-sensitive patients was not necessarily superior to chemo-resistant patients, especially in patients without extracranial progression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The effect of first-line chemotherapy on overall survival (OS) may be significantly influenced by subsequent therapy for patients with extensive disease small cell lung cancer (ED-SCLC). Therefore, we evaluated the relationship between progression-free survival (PFS), post-progression survival (PPS), and OS of ED-SCLC patients treated with atezolizumab plus carboplatin and etoposide as first-line therapy. METHODS We analyzed the data of 57 patients with relapsed ED-SCLC treated with atezolizumab plus carboplatin and etoposide (AteCE) as first-line chemotherapy between August 2019 and September 2020. The respective correlations between PFS-OS and PPS-OS following first-line AteCE treatment were examined at the individual patient level. RESULTS Spearman's rank correlation analysis and linear regression analysis showed that PPS strongly correlated with OS (r = 0.93, p < 0.05, R2 = 0.85) and that PFS moderately correlated with OS (r = 0.55, p < 0.05, R2 = 0.28). Performance status at relapse (0-1/≥2), number of cycles of atezolizumab maintenance therapy (<3/≥3), and platinum rechallenge chemotherapy all significantly positively correlated with PPS (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Upon comparing OS-PFS and OS-PPS in this patient population, OS and PPS were found to have a stronger correlation. These results suggest that performance status at relapse, atezolizumab maintenance, or chemotherapy rechallenge could affect PPS.

Abstract
Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is a highly malignant tumor, and no standard third-line therapy has been established. The present study retrospectively analyzed the efficacy and safety of platinum-based regimens in patients with third-line SCLC who received third-line chemotherapy. The association of regimen type with overall survival (OS) or time to treatment failure (TTF) was evaluated using the Cox hazard proportional method, including well-known covariates affecting the prognosis of SCLC. TTF and OS analyses were conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method. The data cutoff date was June 30, 2020. As a result, from January 2015 to August 2019, 111 patients were diagnosed with SCLC, and 37 received third-line chemotherapy. Subsequently, 15 patients received a platinum-doublet regimen, and 22 patients received a single-agent regimen. Only the type of regimen was significantly associated with TTF in univariate analysis (odds ratio, 0.44; 95% confidence interval, 0.20-0.95; P=0.03). There were no significant factors associated with OS. The median TTF of patients receiving a platinum-doublet regimen and those receiving a single-agent regimen were 3.9 and 2.3 months, respectively (P=0.03). The overall response rates of the platinum-doublet and single-agent regimens were 20.0 and 4.5%, respectively. Similarly, the disease control rates were 73.3 and 36.4% for platinum-doublet and single-agent regimens, respectively. There was a tendency for adverse events (AEs) with any grade to occur more often in platinum-based regimens compared with in single-agent regimens. Severe AEs of grade 3 or higher were observed more often in the platinum-based regimen, especially in myelosuppression. In conclusion, the present study demonstrated the feasibility and safety of platinum-doublet regimens in patients with SCLC in a third-line setting (Registration no. 2020-048. Date of registration, June 5, 2020).

Abstract
This study examined the activity and safety of amrubicin monotherapy among relapsed small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients who had previously been treated with atezolizumab plus carboplatin and etoposide (AteCE). This retrospective study evaluated patients with relapsed SCLC who were treated with previously AteCE combination therapy followed by amrubicin monotherapy between August 2019 and May 2021. Clinical efficacy and toxicity were analyzed. Overall, 40 patients were included: 12 and 28 patients had sensitive and refractory relapse, respectively. The response rate was 32.5% (25.0% in the sensitive group and 35.7% in the refractory group). The median progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) from the first amrubicin treatment was 3.4 months (95% CI: 1.9-4.9 months) and 9.9 months (95% CI: 4.5-11.5 months), respectively. There was no significant between-group difference in median PFS (3.6 months vs. 3.2 months, p = 0.42) or median OS (11.2 months vs. 7.3 months, p = 0.78). Grade ≥ 3 hematological adverse events occurred as follows: decreased white blood cells in 52.5% of patients; decreased neutrophil count in 57.5%; and febrile neutropenia in 10.0%. Grade 3 pneumonitis was observed in one patient. There were no treatment-related deaths. Amrubicin is feasible and effective for relapsed SCLC patients previously treated with AteCE therapy. Although immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment (ICI) does not improve the effect of amrubicin, the toxicity is not increased, suggesting that amrubicin remains effective even after ICI administration. Thus, amrubicin after AteCE could be the preferred standard chemotherapeutic choice in patients with relapsed SCLC.

Platinum-doublet chemotherapy as second-line treatment for relapsed patients with small-cell lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Lung Cancer 2021; 156:59-67. [PMID: 33894495 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2021.04.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2020] [Revised: 03/19/2021] [Accepted: 04/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Optimal second-line chemotherapy for patients with relapsed small-cell lung cancer remains debatable. In addition to topotecan or amrubicin monotherapy, re-challenge with first-line platinum-doublets have been commonly used. In this study, we investigated whether platinum-doublets are suitable as second-line treatment for relapsed small-cell lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Studies that enrolled relapsed small-cell lung cancer and compared platinum-doublets with non-platinum-based regimens for second-line treatment were identified using PubMed and EMBASE. A meta-analysis was conducted to calculate the relative risk of objective response rate and disease control rate of the second-line chemotherapy. Subgroup analyses were conducted to focus on comparison with standard second-line regimens and sensitive relapse. Progression-free and overall survival, and adverse events were systematically reviewed. RESULTS Ten studies published between 2011 and 2020 were included in our analysis with a total of 1222 patients: 438 treated with platinum-doublets and 784 with non-platinum-based regimens. The objective response rates for second-line platinum-doublet and non-platinum regimens were 47.3 % [95 % CI: 40.5-54.0] and 31.5 % [95 % CI: 22.2-40.8], respectively. Patients treated with platinum-doublets had a significantly higher objective response rate than patients with non-platinum-based regimens (RR [95 % CI]: 1.527 [1.100-2.121], p = 0.011), as well as disease control rate (RR [95 % CI]: 1.152 [1.052-1.262], p = 0.002). In a subgroup analysis comparing platinum-doublets with topotecan or amrubicin, patients treated with platinum-doublets had significantly higher objective response rate and disease control rate (RR [95 % CI]: 1.663 [1.055-2.619], p = 0.028 and 1.170 [1.021-1.340], p = 0.023 respectively). Progression-free and overall survival appeared consistent with the tumor responses. Adverse events associated with platinum-doublets appeared acceptable compared with the monotherapies. CONCLUSION Platinum-doublet chemotherapy as second-line treatment for patients with relapsed small-cell lung cancer can be considered as a reasonable option in comparison with non-platinum regimens.

Abstract
In this observational study, we assessed treatment patterns and prognostic factors in patients with small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in a large state-mandated healthcare organization in Israel. Methods: All incident cases with histologically confirmed SCLC who initiated systemic anti-cancer treatment between 2011 and 2017 were identified. Treatment patterns and overall survival (OS) were evaluated for each line of therapy. Results: A total of 235 patients were identified (61% male, median age 64 years, 95% ever smokers, 64% had extensive stage). The first-line treatment was platinum-etoposide regimen for 98.7% of the cohort. The second and third-line regimen were given to 43% and 12% of patients, respectively. Mean OS for extensive and limited stage patients was 9.1 and 23.5 months respectively. In a multivariable model, increased risk for mortality was observed among patients with an ECOG performance status (PS) of 2 compared to a PS of 0-1 for the extensive stage patients (Hazard ratio (HR) = 1.63, 95% confidence ratios (CI): 1.00-2.65); and for males compared to females for the limited stage patients (HR = 2.17; 95% CI: 1.12-4.20). Regarding all 2nd line patients in a multivariable model incorporating relevant confounding factors, demonstrated a significantly better outcome with platinum-based regimens compared to topotecan. Median survival after initiation of 2nd line in platinum-sensitive patients was longer (p = 0.056) for those re-challenged with platinum-based regimen (n = 7): 6.8mo (6.1-not reported (NR)), compared with those switched to a different treatment (n = 27): 4.5 mo (2.6-6.6) for extensive stage patients, and a non-significant difference was also observed for limited stage patients. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is one of the largest real-world studies of SCLC patients. OS for SCLC patients was similar to that reported in clinical trials. PS for extensive stage patients and sex for limited stage patients were significant correlates of prognosis. Re-challenge of the platinum-based doublet was associated with longer OS compared to switching treatment in extensive stage patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE Performance status (PS) is assessed during cancer treatment to determine clinical trial eligibility, appropriateness for treatment, and need for supportive care. There is rising interest for patients to report this information directly. We determined whether clinician- and patient-reported PS were equally associated with mortality and service utilization in patients with cancer. METHODS A secondary analysis was conducted using data from an radiotherapy plus chemotherapy in which 441 patients with advanced cancer and clinicians reported PS using the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group scale. Simple kappa statistics measured agreement between clinician-reported performance status (cPS) and patient-reported performance status (pPS). Associations of cPS and pPS with emergency department (ED) and hospital visits and overall survival were evaluated via Cox regression, competing risk regression, and Fisher's exact tests. RESULTS cPS and pPS correlated weakly (kappa = 0.27). Both pPS and cPS were associated with survival, ED visits, and hospitalizations, but only cPS remained associated after adjustment (survival: HR, 1.75; P < .0001). The first available cPS predicted mortality more strongly than the first available pPS (HR for death, comparing PS ≥ 1 v 0: 2.05 for cPS and 1.41 for pPS). When pPS questionnaires were repeated over time and averaged, associations with outcomes were stronger as measured by AIC model fit. Both pPS and cPS were associated with EQ-5D subcomponents (eg, 75%-77% with no usual activity deficits for PS 0, v 42%-51% for PS ≥ 1). CONCLUSION Both clinician-reported PS and patient-reported PS provide useful information and can be considered for clinical trials and routine care.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer deaths in the world, and smoking is considered as one of the major causes. Small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) represents a highly malignant and particularly aggressive form, with properties of widespread metastases and poor prognosis. Herein, twenty-five Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans L. Koch Oligopeptides (SSMOs) were isolated and their structures were identified, and the anti-proliferative activity against lung cancer cell lines was evaluated. Results showed that SSMO-5 induced the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) markedly in NCI-H446 cells. Furthermore, SSMO-5 decreased the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP) and enhanced the mitochondria-related apoptosis. These results demonstrate that in NCI-H446 cells, the apoptotic and cytotoxic effects of SSMO-5 are mediated by the intrinsic mitochondria-mediated apoptotic pathway, which in turn causes the activation of caspases and increases Bax expression, while decreases Bcl-2 and Bcl-xL expressions and regulates the interaction of p53/MDM2. In conclusion, a ROS-mediated mitochondrial pathway plays an important role in the process of SSMO-5-induced apoptosis against SCLC. SSMO-5 mediated the lung cancer cells apoptosis by activating the caspases and regulating the interaction of p53/MDM2.![]()

Abstract
Background Sensitive-relapsed small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is thought to be sensitive to chemotherapy; therefore, second-line chemotherapy is recommended. Although platinum rechallenge is performed in the second-line chemotherapy for sensitive-relapsed SCLC, it remains unclear whether such a strategy is effective. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the outcome of rechallenge chemotherapy for sensitive-relapsed SCLC. The endpoints of this study were progression-free survival from the time of relapse (PFS-Re) and overall survival from the time of relapse (OS-Re). We also compared the toxicity profile of rechallenge chemotherapy to that of first-line chemotherapy. Results Of the 133 SCLC patients who received first-line treatment, 20 patients satisfied the definition of sensitive relapse and received rechallenge chemotherapy. Combined carboplatin and etoposide was the most commonly used rechallenge regimen, and 17 (85%) received it at a reduced dose due to hematological toxicity during the first-line treatment. Median PFS-Re and OS-Re were 4.5 months (95% CI: 3.5–5.4) and 10.5 months (95% CI: 7.9–13.0), respectively. There was no association between dose adjustment and survival. The frequency of hematologic toxicity tended to be lower with rechallenge than first-line treatment. The incidence of grade 3 febrile neutropenia decreased from 40% in first-line treatment to 15% in rechallenge. Conclusion Platinum rechallenge could be a useful second-line option for sensitive-relapsed SCLC, having favorable efficacy and safety. Dose adjustment at rechallenge based on the toxicity profile during the first-line chemotherapy could reduce toxicity without weakening efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Concerns regarding end-of-life (EOL) chemotherapy are being increasingly raised. Tumor chemosensitivity may influence the decision for aggressive chemotherapy near the EOL. Data on EOL chemotherapy in highly chemosensitive tumors, such as small cell lung cancer (SCLC), are scarce. METHOD A total of 143 SCLC decedents were consecutively included. Data about clinical factors and treatment modalities were obtained from the electronic medical records. The relationships among EOL chemotherapy, clinical features, overall survival (OS), and aggressive care were investigated. RESULTS About 64% of patients had chemosensitive disease. In total, 30.8 and 16.1% of patients received EOL chemotherapy within the last 1 and 2 months of life, respectively. Younger age was associated with a higher rate of EOL chemotherapy. We determined that EOL chemotherapy was related to inferior OS not only in the entire group, but also in the chemosensitive subgroup. Furthermore, more intensive care was observed among patients who underwent EOL chemotherapy compared with those who did not. CONCLUSIONS EOL chemotherapy was correlated with shorter survival and more aggressive care in patients with SCLC. More research is needed to develop indications for terminating palliative chemotherapy, to help physicians and patients with their difficult choices.

Abstract
Recent studies have suggested that, among patients with advanced lung cancer, subsequent treatment after failure of first-line or second-line chemotherapy has a greater effect on overall survival (OS) than tumor shrinkage or progression-free survival (PFS). However, no studies have examined this issue among patients with sensitive relapse of small cell lung cancer (SCLC). We retrospectively evaluate 77 patients with sensitive relapse of SCLC who received second-line chemotherapy after first-line platinum doublet chemotherapy between January 1999 and November 2013. The analyses included patient characteristics, treatment parameters, tumor shrinkage, PFS, post-progression survival (PPS), and OS. Spearman rank correlation analysis and linear regression analysis revealed that PPS was strongly correlated with OS (r = 0.91, p < 0.01, R2 = 0.96), PFS was moderately correlated with OS (r = 0.58, p < 0.01, R2 = 0.28), and tumor shrinkage was weakly correlated with OS (r = 0.34, p < 0.01, R2 = 0.12). A multivariate Cox proportional hazards model with a stepwise regression procedure revealed that PPS was significantly associated with age at the start of second-line chemotherapy, best response to second-line and third-line chemotherapy, and the number of regimens after progression beyond second-line chemotherapy (p < 0.05). These findings suggest that PPS has a stronger effect than PFS on OS among patients with sensitive relapse of SCLC. Thus, response to second-line chemotherapy and subsequent treatment for disease progression after second-line chemotherapy may be important factors that influence OS.

Abstract
SCLC accounts for 15% of lung cancer worldwide. Characterised by early dissemination and rapid development of chemo-resistant disease, less than 5% of patients survive 5 years. Despite 3 decades of clinical trials there has been no change to the standard platinum and etoposide regimen for first line treatment developed in the 1970's. The exceptionally high number of genomic aberrations observed in SCLC combined with the characteristic rapid cellular proliferation results in accumulation of DNA damage and genomic instability. To flourish in this precarious genomic context, SCLC cells are reliant on functional DNA damage repair pathways and cell cycle checkpoints. Current cytotoxic drugs and radiotherapy treatments for SCLC have long been known to act by induction of DNA damage and the response of cancer cells to such damage determines treatment efficacy. Recent years have witnessed improved understanding of strategies to exploit DNA damage and repair mechanisms in order to increase treatment efficacy. This review will summarise the rationale to target DNA damage response in SCLC, the progress made in evaluating novel DDR inhibitors and highlight various ongoing challenges for their clinical development in this disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is little information on the clinical outcome of patients with small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) treated with third-line chemotherapy. The purpose of this study was to clarify the prognostic factors of SCLC patients receiving third-line chemotherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between November 2001 and October 2011, 202 of 648 consecutive SCLC patients at the National Cancer Center Hospital East received third-line chemotherapy. Multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify the prognostic factors for overall survival after third-line chemotherapy. RESULTS The demographics of the 202 patients were as follows: median age 66 years, 83% male, and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS) 0, 1, 2, and 3 values of 22, 122, 49, and 9, respectively. Median time to treatment failure after second-line chemotherapy (TTF2) was 4.5 months (TTF2 ≥ 5/< 5 months, 82/120). The median overall survival after third-line chemotherapy was 5.1 months. Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that PS 0-1 (hazard ratio, 0.38; 95% confidence interval, 0.27-0.54; P < .001) and TTF2 ≥ 5 months (hazard ratio, 0.57; 95% confidence interval, 0.41-0.79; P < .001) were independent prognostic factors. TTF2 threshold of 5 months was determined on the basis of concordance probability adjusted by PS. CONCLUSION PS 0-1 and TTF2 ≥ 5 months were associated with a favorable prognosis among SCLC patients receiving third-line chemotherapy. These 2 factors might be helpful for the selection of candidates for third-line chemotherapy and for patient stratification when conducting future clinical trials in the third-line setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) is responsive to initial chemotherapy but becomes resistant to cytotoxic drugs. The aim of this study was to evaluate what proportion of patients with SCLC had received the first- and further-line chemotherapy and which patients had benefited from chemotherapy. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed medical records of patients with SCLC who had been treated with the best supportive care alone and the first-, second-, or third-line chemotherapy at the Osaka Police Hospital from June 2007 until March 2015. RESULTS Among 145 patients diagnosed with SCLC and eligible for analysis, 118 patients received chemotherapy. We added five patients who initiated the second-line chemotherapy during the study period at our institution. Sixty-five and 31 patients received the second- and third-line chemotherapies, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis detected age ≥75 years (odds ratio, 2.80; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-7.75; P=0.047) and European Clinical Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) 3-4 (14.3; 4.86-41.9; P<0.01) as factors disturbing the introduction of chemotherapy. Multivariate Cox hazard analyses also detected ECOG PS 2-4 (3.34; 2.00-5.58; P<0.01) as a factor decreasing overall survival after the first-line chemotherapy, and C-reactive protein level ≥1.0 mg/dL (2.67; 1.30-5.47; P<0.01) and progression-free survival after the first-line chemotherapy ≥6 months (2.85; 1.50-5.43; P<0.01) as factors influencing overall survival after the second-line chemotherapy. CONCLUSION Approximately two-thirds and one-third of the patients who receive chemotherapy proceed to the second- and third-line chemotherapies, respectively. Several factors, such as age, ECOG PS, C-reactive protein level, and progression-free survival after previous treatment may be useful when considering the introduction of further-line chemotherapy.

Abstract
背景与目的 小细胞肺癌是一种侵袭性非常强的肿瘤,其主要治疗方案是细胞毒化疗,尽管有较高的初始治疗缓解率,但大部分患者在一线治疗后会出现复发或进展。目前只有较少的证据证明二线治疗能给复发或晚期小细胞肺癌患者带来生存获益,指南推荐药物较多,但临床多依据经验制定方案。本研究回顾性分析小细胞肺癌患者不同二线治疗方案的疗效和安全性,以指导临床医生更客观地选择小细胞肺癌二线治疗方案。 方法 回顾性分析了309例接受二线治疗的小细胞肺癌患者,其中157例患者进展后仅予最佳支持治疗,其余152例患者进行了二线化疗。采用Kaplan-Meier法生存曲线及Log-rank检验等统计学方法,观察终点为客观缓解率(objective response rate, ORR)、疾病控制率(disease control rate, DCR)、无进展生存时间(progression-free survival, PFS)、总生存时间(overall survival, OS)和安全性分析。 结果 接受二线化疗的患者较二线仅接受最佳支持治疗的患者生存获益明显,两组患者自一线治疗开始的OS分别为11.5个月和6.0个月(P < 0.001),并且前者无论何种复发类型,在二线治疗ORR、DCR、PFS和OS上均明显优于后者。接受二线化疗患者,其ORR为39.5%,DCR为59.2%,中位PFS和中位OS分别为3.3个月和5.3个月。据方案将二线化疗患者分组,敏感型复发患者由采用含VP-16方案的A组和采用含CPT-11方案的B1组组成,两组ORR分别为48.6%和35.3%,DCR分别为68.6%和58.8%,均无明显差异(P值分别为0.264和0.400);两组二线中位PFS分别为4.0个月和3.0个月,无明显差异(P=0.432);两组中位OS分别为6.5个月和4.5个月,无统计学差异(P=0.508)。耐药/难治型复发患者由其余含CPT-11方案的B2组、含PTX/DXL方案的C组和含TPT方案的D组组成。组间ORR、DCR、二线中位PFS无明显统计学差异(P值分别为0.521、0.528和0.775);D组中位OS优于B2组和C组,差异具有统计学意义(P值分别为0.043、0.030)。四个方案组毒副作用相似,Ⅲ度-Ⅳ度血液学毒性组间并无差异;伊立替康组的患者腹泻发生率高于其他三组(P=0.029)。 结论 二线化疗可以给一线治疗失败的小细胞肺癌患者带来生存获益;不同二线化疗方案患者的近期缓解和无进展生存相似;耐药/难治型患者二线化疗采用含TPT的方案可能会给患者带来更好的总生存获益。

Abstract
AIMS AND BACKGROUND Amrubicin monotherapy can be an effective treatment option for patients with recurrent small cell lung cancer (SCLC). We conducted this retrospective study to investigate the prognostic factors in patients with recurrent SCLC receiving amrubicin monotherapy. METHODS The associations between survival and clinical data, including the performance status, body mass index (BMI), plasma lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level, and plasma neuron-specific enolase level, were evaluated in patients with recurrent SCLC, and a subset analysis of patients with platinum-resistant disease was conducted. RESULTS In all, 37 patients were evaluated. The median survival from the date of initiation of amrubicin monotherapy was 9.1 months (95% confidence interval 4.7-12.0 months). Multivariate analysis using a Cox proportional hazard model identified the plasma LDH level (p = 0.049), BMI (p = 0.031), and platinum resistance (p = 0.032) as independent factors associated with survival. The same associations were also observed in the subset of patients with platinum-resistant disease. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that the plasma LDH level and BMI may be useful prognostic factors in patients with SCLC receiving amrubicin monotherapy, including patients with platinum-resistant disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Combination chemotherapy has been the mainstay of treatment for extensive stage small celI lung cancer (SCLC) over the last 30 years, even though it only gives a short prolongation in median survival time. The main goal for these patients should be palliation with the aim of improving their quality of life. OBJECTIVES To determine the effectiveness of first-line chemotherapy versus placebo or best supportive care (BSC) in prolonging survival in patients with extensive SCLC at diagnosis and the effectiveness of second-line chemotherapy at relapse or progression after first-line chemotherapy compared with BSC or placebo in prolonging survival in patients with extensive SCLC; as well as to evaluate the adverse events of treatment and the quality of life of patients. SEARCH METHODS This is the second update of the review. MEDLINE (1966 to October 2013), EMBASE (1974 to October 2013), and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (2012, Issue 3) were searched. Experts in the field were contacted. SELECTION CRITERIA Phase III randomised controlled trials in which any chemotherapy treatment was compared with placebo or BSC in patients with extensive SCLC, as first-line or second-line therapy at relapse. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two authors independently extracted data and assessed study quality. We resolved disagreements by discussion. Additional information was obtained from one study author. MAIN RESULTS Two studies of unclear risk of bias were included for first-line chemotherapy. A total of 88 men under 70 years with good performance status were randomised to receive either supportive care, placebo infusion or ifosfamide. Ifosfamide gave an extra mean survival of 78.5 days compared with supportive care or placebo infusion. Partial tumour response was greater with the active treatment. Toxicity was only seen in the chemotherapy group and quality of life was only assessed at the beginning of treatment. The quality of the evidence for overall survival and adverse effects was very low.Three studies of moderate risk of bias were included for second-line chemotherapy at relapse (one identified in the last search). A total of 932 men and women under 75 years and any performance status were randomised to receive either methotrexate-doxorubicin, topotecan, or picoplatin versus symptomatic treatment or BSC. The methotrexate-doxorubicin treatment gave a median survival of 63 days longer than in the symptomatic-treatment group for patients allocated to receive four cycles of first-line chemotherapy, and 21 days longer for patients allocated to receive eight cycles of first-line chemotherapy.Treatment with topotecan gave a median survival of 84 days longer than in the BSC group (log-rank P = 0.01). The adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for overall survival was 0.61 (95% CI 0.43 to 0.87). Treatment with picoplatin gave a median survival time of six days longer than BSC (HR 0.817, 95% CI 0.65 to 1.03, P = 0.0895). A meta-analysis of topotecan and picoplatin gave a HR of 0.73 (95% CI 0.55 to 0.96, P = 0.03; low-quality evidence).Partial or complete response in the methotrexate-doxorubicin group was 22.3%. Five patients (7%, 95% CI 2.33 to 15.67) showed a partial response with topotecan. No data were provided about tumour response in the picoplatin study. Toxicity was worst in the chemotherapy group (moderate-quality evidence). Quality of life was better in the topotecan group and was not measured in the methotrexate-doxorubicin and picoplatin studies (low-quality evidence). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Two small RCTs from the 1970s suggest that first-line chemotherapeutic treatment (based on ifosfamide) may provide a small survival benefit (less than three months) in comparison with supportive care or placebo infusion in patients with advanced SCLC. However platinum-based combination chemotherapy regimens have been shown to increase complete response rates when compared to non-platinum chemotherapy regimens with no significant difference in survival, and so these are currently the standard first-line treatment for patients with SCLC.Second-line chemotherapy at relapse or progression may prolong survival for some weeks in relation to BSC. Nevertheless, the impact of first-line chemotherapy on quality of life, older patients, women and patients with poor prognosis is unknown and the benefits of second-line chemotherapy are also unclear for older people. Globally, the evidence on which these conclusions are based is very scarce and of uncertain or low quality, which calls for well-designed, controlled trials to further evaluate the trade-offs between benefits and risks of different chemotherapeutic schedules in patients with advanced SCLC.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the benefit of second-line chemotherapy with platinum-based treatment in patients with recurrent small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Patients and methods A total of 535 patients continued with follow-up or best supportive care if needed, and 229 patients who progressed after the completion of first-line chemotherapy were treated with second-line chemotherapy at the time of progression. In total, 103/229 patients received paclitaxel 190 mg/m2 and carboplatin 5.5 area under the curve while 126/229 patients received etoposide 200 mg/m2 and carboplatin 5.5 area under the curve every 28 days. Results Patients administered second-line chemotherapy lived significantly longer, with a median survival of 422 days compared to 228 days in patients with best supportive care alone (P<0.001). Patients who received paclitaxel as second-line chemotherapy lived for an average of 462 days (95% confidence interval: 409–514), versus 405 days in the etoposide group (95% confidence interval: 371–438), which was not statistically significant (P=0.086). The overall response rate was 8% for the paclitaxel group and 6% for the etoposide group. Patients with progression of the disease in more than 3 months had significantly better survival compared with those that progressed in less than 3 months (P<0.001). Conclusion Continuation with carboplatin/paclitaxel or carboplatin/etoposide as second-line chemotherapy has no significant survival impact, and it did not improve response rates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients unresponsive or relapsing within 90 days after frontline chemotherapy have poor prognosis and are treated with regimens different from the first-line regimen. Potential differences in the efficacy of second-line therapy for refractory and sensitive SCLC have not been well studied. METHODS Studies that enrolled sensitive and refractory (relapse < 90 days or > 90 days) SCLC patients for second-line therapy were identified using electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane library), and meeting abstracts databases. A systematic analysis was conducted using Comprehensive Meta Analysis (version 2.2.048) software to calculate the odds ratio of response and 95% confidence interval. Median overall survival time for sensitive and resistant SCLC patients was compared by two-sided Student's t test. We tested for significant heterogeneity by Cochran's chi-square test and I-square index. RESULTS Twenty-one studies published between 1984 and 2011 were eligible for this analysis with a total of 1692 patients enrolled; 912 with sensitive and 780 with refractory SCLC. The overall response rate was 17.9% with a higher response rate of 27.7% (range, 0%-77%) for sensitive SCLC versus 14.8% (range, 0%-70%) for refractory patients; p=0.0001. Pooled overall odds ratio of response was 2.235 (95% confidence interval: 1.518-3.291; p=0.001) favoring patients with sensitive disease. Median overall survival time was 6.7 months with a weighted survival of 7.7 and 5.4 months for sensitive and refractory SCLC, respectively (p = 0.0035). CONCLUSIONS Refractory SCLC patients derive modest clinical benefit from second-line chemotherapy. However, response and survival outcomes are superior with chemosensitive disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bronchogenic carcinoma (BC) is a worldwide health public problem with a parallel but delayed development to smoking. The prognosis of BC in young patients is poorly known mainly because of few studies that have looked at this group of patients. The hypothesis of our study is that 'young' patients with BC have a better prognosis than others. METHODS We conducted a retrospective epidemiologic study of all patients aged 45 and under (n=73) followed for BC between 2002 and 2007 in two hospitals in the central region in France, compared with patients over 45 years random (n=73). We evaluated the clinical characteristics (sex, smoking habits, WHO status, clinical presentation, histology, TNM stage), the management and prognosis of these patients. RESULTS The median survival of patients aged 45 and under was 13.4 months against 8.9 months for patients over 45 years. In multivariate analysis, age is not an independent prognostic factor (P=0.41) in contrast to the WHO status (P=0.002) and initial TNM stage (P<0.001). There was no significant difference for other clinical characteristics between the two patient populations. CONCLUSION In our study, the better prognosis of the "young" patient group is not directly related to age but in good condition and lower TNM stage of these patients.

Abstract
The optimal second-line chemotherapeutic regimen for thymic carcinoma remains uncertain and predictive factors for the response have not been identified. We encountered two cases of relapsed thymic carcinoma with recurrence 1.5 and 8 years after initial response to cisplatin/doxorubicin/vincristine/cyclophosphamide (ADOC) chemotherapy. Both cases were successfully retreated with ADOC. Our observations suggest that relapsed thymic carcinoma occurring a long treatment-free time from the initial response may be sensitive to the previous chemotherapy. We described two cases of relapsed thymic carcinoma successfully retreated with ADOC chemotherapy. Both patients had partial response to initial ADOC and long disease free times.

Abstract
Amrubicin (AMR) is one of the most active chemotherapeutic agents for small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Previous phase II studies reported on its effectiveness and severe hematological toxicities. However, AMR has yet to be approved outside Japan. Subsequently, no extensive evidence of its effects exist. Between January 2004 and October 2009, 69 patients received AMR for relapsed SCLC at our hospital. We reviewed these patients, and analyzed the efficacy and hematological toxicities of AMR. There were 27 sensitive relapses (S) and 42 refractory relapses (R). Patients received platinum agents, and 43 and 71% of the patients received etoposide and irinotecan, respectively. The median number of treatment cycles was 3 (range 1-14), and the response rate was 51% (70% in the S and 38% in the R cases, respectively). In patients administered with AMR as second-line therapy, the response rate was 55% and as third-line therapy, 39%. Median progression-free survival time was 3.2 months in the S and 1.9 months in the R patients (p=0.1071). Median survival time from the start of AMR was 6.2 months in the S and 4.8 months in the R cases (p=0.0045). The frequency of grade ≥3 hematological toxicities was leukopenia (41%), neutropenia (51%), anemia (14%), thrombocytopenia (17%) and febrile neutropenia (12%). No treatment-related death was observed. Although hematological toxicities, particularly neutropenia, were severe, AMR showed excellent anti-tumor activity, not only in the S, but also in the R cases, as shown in previous phase II studies. These results warrant further evaluation of AMR in the second-line setting, and also in the first-line setting in both limited- and extensive-stage disease. We conducted a phase II study to assess the efficacy of consolidation chemotherapy with AMR after standard chemoradiation in limited-stage SCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Combination chemotherapy has been the mainstay of treatment for extensive stage small celI lung cancer (SCLC) over the last 30 years even though it only gives a short prolongation in median survival time. The main goal for these patients should be palliation with the aim of improving their quality of life. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the effectiveness of chemotherapy in extensive SCLC compared with best supportive care (BSC) or placebo treatment. SEARCH STRATEGY MEDLINE (1966 to July 2008), EMBASE (1974 to week 31, 2008), and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL, Issue 3, 2008). Experts in the field were contacted. SELECTION CRITERIA Randomised controlled trials in which any chemotherapy treatment was compared with placebo or BSC in patients with extensive SCLC, as first or second therapy at relapse. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two authors independently extracted data and assessed study quality. We resolved disagreements by discussion. Additional information was obtained from one study author. MAIN RESULTS Two studies were included for first-line chemotherapy. A total of 65 patients were randomised to receive either placebo or ifosfamide. Ifosfamide gave an extra mean survival of 78.5 days compared with placebo. Partial tumour response was greater with the active treatment. Toxicity was only seen in the chemotherapy group.Two studies were included for second-line chemotherapy at relapse. A total of 531 patients were randomised to receive either methotrexate-doxorubicin or symptomatic treatment, or to receive oral topotecan versus BSC. The methotrexate-doxorubicin treatment gave a median survival of 63 days longer than in the symptomatic treatment group, and 21 days longer for patients allocated to receive four or eight cycles of first-line chemotherapy, respectively.Treatment with topotecan gave a median survival of 84 days longer than in the BSC group (log-rank P = 0.01). The adjusted hazard ratio for overall survival was 0.61 (95% CI, 0.43 to 0.87). Partial or complete response in the methotrexate-doxorubicin group was 22.3%. Five patients (7%, 95% CI, 2.33 to 15.67) showed a partial response with topotecan. Toxicity was worst in the chemotherapy group. Quality of life was better in the topotecan group. AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Chemotherapeutic treatment prolongs survival in comparison with placebo in patients with advanced SCLC. Nevertheless, the impact of first-line chemotherapy on quality of life and in patients with poor prognosis is unknown. Well-designed, controlled trials are needed to further evaluate the risks and benefits of different chemotherapeutic schedules in patients with advanced SCLC.
