Analysis of survival benefit from primary tumor resection and individualized prediction of overall survival for lung cancer patients with bone metastasis: Worth it or not? Asian J Surg 2024; 47:333-349. [PMID: 37741753 DOI: 10.1016/j.asjsur.2023.08.198] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2023] [Revised: 08/15/2023] [Accepted: 08/30/2023] [Indexed: 09/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical management of lung cancer (LC) patients with bone metastasis (BM) is still a significant challenge. This study aimed to explore the role of primary tumor resection (PTR) on survival outcome of LC patients with BM and to develop two web-based nomograms for predicting the overall survival (OS) of LC patients with BM who received PTR and those who did not. METHODS We enrolled LC patients with BM from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2015. Propensity score matching (PSM) was then conducted to balance the baseline characteristics of covariates between patients in surgery and non-surgery groups. Next, Kaplan-Meier analysis with log-rank test was performed to evaluate the survival benefit of PTR before and after PSM methods and to explore the impact of surgical resection extent on the prognosis of LC patients with BM and clinical outcomes in patients with different metastatic patterns. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was then applied to determine the independent prognostic factors for OS of patients receiving PTR and did not receiving PTR, respectively. Subsequently, we constructed two individualized nomograms for predicting the 12-, 18- and 24-months OS. Finally, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve, calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) were generated to evaluate discrimination, accuracy and clinical utility of the nomograms. RESULTS A total of 7747 eligible patients were included in this analysis. The survival analysis revealed that PTR was closely associated with better survival outcome among LC patients with BM(P < 0.05), while the survival benefit of PTR was suboptimal in patients presented with multiple metastases(P > 0.05). Besides, lobectomy shows best survival benefit. Two nomograms were then constructed based on independent prognostic factors of patients in the surgery group and the non-surgery group. The ROC curves showed good discrimination of the two nomograms, with the area under curve (AUC) of each time point being higher than 0.7 in both the training set and testing set. The calibration curves also demonstrated satisfactory consistency between actual survival and nomogram-predicted OS of both nomograms. The DCA showed high benefit of nomogram in a clinical context. Moreover, the study population was stratified into three groups based on the scores of the nomogram, and the survival analysis showed that this prognostic stratification was statistically significant (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that surgical resection of the primary site strategy can prolong survival of LC patients with BM to some extent, depending on different sites of metastasis and highly selected patients. Furthermore, the web-based nomograms showed significant accuracy in predicting OS for patients with or without surgery, which may provide valuable insights for patients' counseling and individualized decision-making for clinicians.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Numerous reports have shown that medical treatment confers excellent survival benefits to patients with advanced stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the implications of surgery for primary lesions as palliative treatment remain inconclusive. METHODS We retrospectively extracted clinical data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) database and selected patients with stage IV NSCLC. Patients were classified into non-surgery and surgery groups, and propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was performed to balance the baseline information. Patients in the surgery group, whose overall survival (OS) was longer than the median survival time of those in the non-surgery group, were deemed to benefit from surgery. We evaluated the efficacy of three surgical techniques, namely, local destruction, sub-lobectomy, and lobectomy, on the primary site in the beneficial population. RESULTS The results of Cox regression analyses revealed that surgery was an independent risk factor for both OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.441; confidence interval [CI]: 0.426-0.456; P < 0.001) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) (HR: 0397; CI: 0.380-0.414; P < 0.001). Notably, patients who underwent surgery had a better prognosis than those who did not (OS: P < 0.001; CSS: P < 0.001). Moreover, local destruction and sub-lobectomy significantly compromised survival compared to lobectomy in the beneficial group (P < 0.001). After PSM, patients with stage IV disease who underwent lobectomy needed routine mediastinal lymph node clearing (OS: P = 0.0038; CSS: P = 0.039). CONCLUSION Based on these findings, we recommend that patients with stage IV NSCLC undergo palliative surgery for the primary site and that lobectomy plus lymph node resection should be conventionally performed on those who can tolerate the surgery.

Abstract
Background Existing studies have shown whether primary site resection (PSR) in cutaneous melanoma (CM) patients with stage IV is controversial. Our study aimed to identify the clinical characteristics of CM patients with stage IV who benefited from PSR on a population-based study. Methods We retrospectively reviewed stage IV CM patients in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database from 2004 to 2015. Patients were divided into surgical and non-surgical groups according to whether PSR was performed or not. According to the median cancer-specific survival (CSS) time of the non-surgery group, the surgical group was divided into the surgery-benefit group and the non-surgery-benefit group. Multivariate cox regression analysis was used to explore independent CSS prognostic factors in the surgical group. Then, based on the independent prognostic factors of the surgical group, we established a web-based nomogram based on logistics regression. Results A total of 574 stage IV CM patients were included in our study, and 491 (85.60%) patients were included in the surgical group. The clinical characteristics (benefit group and non-benefit group) included age, M stage, lesion location, and ulceration status. These independent prognostic factors were includeed to construct a web-based nomogram. Conclusions We constructed a web-based nomogram. This model was suitable for identifying the best candidates suitable for PSR in stage IV CM patients.

Abstract
Background There is a paucity of data published on the clinicopathological features and prognosis of stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients aged ≤45 years. Herein, we evaluated a large clinical series in an effort to provide a clearer picture of this population. Methods The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO)-penalized Cox regression model was performed to identify prognostic factors for NSCLC among individuals aged ≤45 years. The Kaplan–Meier method with log-rank test was used to compare overall survival (OS) differences between groups. Competing risk analysis with the Fine–Gray test was used to analyze cancer-specific survival (CSS) differences. Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to minimize selection bias. Results Incidence-rate analyses, including 588,680 NSCLC cases (stage IV, 233,881; age ≤ 45 years stage IV, 5,483; and age > 45 years stage IV, 228,398) from 2004 to 2015, showed that the incidence of stage IV NSCLC among young individuals decreased over the years. In comparative analyses of clinical features and survival outcomes, a total of 48,607 eligible stage IV cases (age ≤ 45 years stage IV, 1,390; age > 45 years stage IV, 47,217) were included. The results showed that although patients in the young cohort were more likely to be diagnosed at advanced stages, they were also more likely to receive aggressive treatments. In addition, the survival rates of the young patients were superior to those of the older patients both before and after PSM. Conclusions Stage IV NSCLC patients aged ≤45 years comprise a relatively small but special NSCLC subgroup. Although this population had better survival outcomes than older patients, these patients deserve more attention due to their young age and the significant socioeconomic implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence about the prognostic value of primary tumor surgery (PTS) in patients with brain metastatic malignancies is ambiguous and controversial. This study assessed the survival benefits of primary tumor surgery in patients with brain metastases (BMs). METHODS Adults patients with BMs that originated from lung, breast, kidney, skin, colon, and liver diagnosed between 2010 and 2018 were derived from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER). Propensity score matching (PSM) was used to balance the bias between patients with or without PTS. Then the prognostic value of PTS was estimated by Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression models. RESULTS A total of 32,760 patients with BMs secondary to non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small cell lung cancer (SCLC), breast cancer, renal cancer, melanoma, colorectal cancer, and liver cancer were identified from the database. After PSM at 1:1 ratio, PTS appeared to significantly prolong cause-specific survival (CSS) time for patients with BMs secondary to NSCLC, breast cancer, renal cancer, and colorectal cancer (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.60 [0.53-0.68], 0.56 [0.43-0.73], 0.47 [0.37-0.60], and 0.59 [0.37-0.95], respectively, all p < 0.05). Patients with earlier T and N classifications, no extracranial metastasis, and cancer-specific subtypes (adenocarcinoma in NSCLC, hormone receptor-negative breast cancer) may derive more survival benefits from PTS when suffering from BMs. CONCLUSION This population-based study supported PTS could provide survival benefits for patients with BMs secondary to NSCLC, breast cancer, renal cancer, and colorectal cancer. More emphasis should be put on PTS of selected patients with BMs.

Abstract
Objective: To observe the efficacy of complete video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (CVATS) and traditional open surgery (TOS) in the treatment of elderly patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and their influence on cardiopulmonary function. Methods A total of 120 elderly patients with primary NSCLC who were treated surgically in our hospital from January 2018 to January 2021 were selected and divided into the study group and the control group according to the different surgical procedures, 60 patients in each group. CVATS was used in the observation group and TOS in the control group. The surgical indexes and cardiopulmonary function indexes were observed and compared between the two groups. The serum C-reactive protein (CRP) level and visual analog scale's (VAS) score of the patients at different time points were detected. The incidence of postoperative complications was compared between the two groups. Results The perioperative indexes such as operation time were significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.05), but the number of lymph node dissection was not significantly different (p > 0.05). The serum CRP level and VAS score of the observation group were significantly lower than those of the control group on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th postoperative days (p < 0.05). There were significant differences in cardiopulmonary function between the two groups on the 7th postoperative day (p < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (p > 0.05). Conclusion CVATS is effective in the treatment of NSCLC. Compared with TOS therapy, CVATS has less damage to cardiopulmonary function and fewer complications, which is conducive to the rehabilitation of elderly patients. It is a safe and reliable scheme for the treatment of elderly patients with NSCLC.
