Recurrence/prognosis estimation using a molecularly positive surgical margin-based model calls for alternative curative strategies in pIIIA/N2 NSCLC. Mol Oncol 2024; 18:1649-1664. [PMID: 38327028 PMCID: PMC11161728 DOI: 10.1002/1878-0261.13600] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2023] [Revised: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Stage pIIIA/N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is primarily treated by complete surgical resection combined with neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapies. However, up to 40% of patients experience tumor recurrence. Here, we studied 119 stage pIIIA/N2 NSCLC patients who received complete surgery plus adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) or chemoradiotherapy (CRT). The paired tumor and resection margin samples were analyzed using next-generation sequencing (NGS). Although all patients were classified as negative resection margins by histologic methods, NGS revealed that 47.1% of them had molecularly positive surgical margins. Patients who tested positive for NGS-detected residual tumors had significantly shorter disease-free survival (DFS) (P = 0.002). Additionally, metastatic lymph node ratio, erb-b2 receptor tyrosine kinase 2 (ERBB2) mutations, and SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a, member 4 (SMARCA4) mutations were also independently associated with DFS. We used these four features to construct a COX model that could effectively estimate recurrence risk and prognosis. Notably, mutational profiling through broad-panel NGS could more sensitively detect residual tumors than the conventional histologic methods. Adjuvant CT and adjuvant CRT exhibited no significant difference in eliminating locoregional recurrence risk for stage pIIIA/N2 NSCLC patients with molecularly positive surgical margins.

Heliyon 2024; 10:e27768. [PMID: 38690000 PMCID: PMC11059407 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27768] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2023] [Revised: 03/04/2024] [Accepted: 03/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/02/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Primary tumor resection is associated with survival benefits in patients with metastatic lung adenocarcinoma (mLUAD). However, there are no established methods to determine which individuals would benefit from surgery. Therefore, we developed a model to predict the patients who are likely to benefit from surgery in terms of survival. Methods Data on patients with mLUAD were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. Depending on whether surgery was performed on the primary tumor, patients were categorized into two groups: cancer-directed surgery (CDS) and no-cancer-directed surgery (No-CDS). Propensity Score Matching (PSM) was utilized to address bias between the CDS and No-CDS groups. The prognostic impact of CDS was assessed using Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard models. Subsequently, we constructed a nomogram to predict the potential for surgical benefits based on multivariable logistic regression analysis using preoperative factors. Results A total of 89,039 eligible patients were identified, including 6.4% (5705) who underwent surgery. Following PSM, the CDS group demonstrated a significantly longer median overall survival (mOS) compared with the No-CDS group (23 [21-25] vs. 7 [7-8] months; P < 0.001). The nomogram showed robust performance in both the training and validation sets (area under the curve [AUC]: 0.698 and 0.717, respectively), and the calibration curves exhibited high consistency. The nomogram proved clinically valuable according to decision curve analysis (DCA). According to this nomogram, surgical patients were categorized into two groups: no-benefit candidates and benefit candidates groups. Compared with the no-benefit candidate group, the benefit candidate group was associated with longer survival (mOS: 25 vs. 6 months, P < 0.001). Furthermore, no difference in survival was observed between the no-benefit candidates and the no-surgery groups (mOS: 6 vs. 7 months, P = 0.9). Conclusions A practical nomogram was developed to identify optimal CDS candidates among patients with mLUAD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Radical surgery including mediastinal lymph node dissection is the standard treatment for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). About 50% lung nodules are pure ground glass or part-solid nodules, which are predominantly clinical stage IA NSCLC. Non-solid nodules rarely develop mediastinal lymph node metastasis. METHOD AND ANALYSIS A phase III study was started in China to evaluate the non-inferiority in overall survival of spared mediastinal lymph node dissection compared with mediastinal lymph node dissection in stage IA NSCLC. A total of 1362 patients will be enrolled from 4 institutions in 2-3 years. The second endpoints are relapse-free survival and perioperative data, including duration of hospitalisation, duration of chest tube placement, operation time, blood loss. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This protocol has been reviewed and approved by the Clinical Research Review Board of Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital. The findings will be disseminated in peer-reviewed publications. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04631770.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Guidelines for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer identify patients with tumors ≤2 cm and pure carcinoma in situ histology as candidates for sublobar resection. Although the merits of lobectomy, sublobar resection, and lymphoid (LN) sampling, have been investigated in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, evaluation of these modalities in patients with IS disease can provide meaningful clinical information. This study aims to compare these operations and their relationship with regional LN sampling in this population. METHODS The National Cancer Database was used to identify patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer clinical Tis N0 M0 with a tumor size ≤2 cm from 2004 to 2017. The χ2 tests were used to examine subgroup differences by type of surgery. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard model were used to compare overall survival. RESULTS Of 707 patients, 56.7% (401 out of 707) underwent sublobar resection and 43.3% (306 out of 707) underwent lobectomy. There was no difference in 5-year overall survival in the sublobar resection group (85.1%) compared with the lobectomy group (88.9%; P = .341). Multivariable survival analyses showed no difference in overall survival (hazard ratio, 1.044; P = .885) in the treatment groups. LN sampling was performed in 50.9% of patients treated with sublobar resection. In this group, LN sampling was not associated with improved survival (84.9% vs 85.0%; P = .741). CONCLUSIONS We observed no difference in overall survival between sublobar resection and lobectomy in patients with cTis N0 M0 non-small cell lung cancer with tumors ≤2 cm. Sublobar resection may be an appropriate surgical option for this population. LN sampling was not associated with improved survival in patients treated with sublobar resection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE investigate the prognostic role of baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT in stage I-II NSCLC. MATERIAL AND METHODS 296 patients were included. Clinicopathological features and PET/CT semiquantitative parameters [standardized uptake value (SUV) body weight max (SUVmax), SUV body weight mean (SUVmean), SUV lean body mass (SUVlbm), SUV body surface area (SUVbsa), metabolic tumor volume (MTV), total lesion glycolysis (TLG), ratio SUVmax/liver (S-L) and ratio SUVmax/blood-pool (S-BP) were extracted]. Anova and Kruskall-Wallis tests were used to assess the relationship between these parameters. Kaplan-Meier, univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to search independent prognostic factors for progression free (PFS), overall survival (OS) and disease specific survival (DSS). RESULTS Correlation between PET/CT semiquantitative parameters and histology, stage, size, grading and presence of nodal metastasis were reported. Mean PFS was 28.1 months, relapse/progression of disease occurred in 85 patients (28.7%). Mean OS was 33.3 months, death occurred in 43 patients (14.5%); specific death by NSCLC occurred in 26 subjects (8.8%). Kaplan-Meier analyses revealed most of semiquantitative parameters as predictive for PFS, OS and DSS. For DSS, this was confirmed when dividing between patients with surgery and surgery with other therapies. SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVlbm, SUVbsa and S-L revealed to be independent prognosticators for OS and DSS. S-BP was an independent prognosticator for DSS. SUVmax, SUVmean, SUVlbm, S-L and S-BP were confirmed as independent prognosticators for DSS in the group of patients treated with surgery and subsequent adjuvant therapy. CONCLUSION Baseline 18F-FDG PET/CT semiquantitative parameters are confirmed as prognostic tools for stage I-II NSCLC, in particular for DSS.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common type of lung cancer. Clinically, 40-50% of patients with NSCLC are found to have systemic metastasis at the initial diagnosis. Meanwhile, 30-75% of patients with lung cancer who have undergone radical surgical resection have local recurrence and distant metastases. However, not all distant metastases are multiple, and some are potentially curable. In this study, among the patients with NSCLC having distant organ metastasis, approximately 7% showed extrapulmonary solitary metastasis and remained in this relatively stable state for a long time. This form of metastasis is known as NSCLC oligometastases. This review describes the concept and classification of oligometastases, as well as the local treatment and prognosis of extracranial oligometastases.

Subsegmentectomy versus segmentectomy resection for the treatment of operable patients with stage IA non-small cell lung cancer: A meta-analysis. Front Surg 2023; 9:1060507. [PMID: 36684370 PMCID: PMC9852534 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.1060507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2022] [Accepted: 11/10/2022] [Indexed: 01/09/2023] Open
Abstract
Background There were new points of interest in performing subsegmentectomy and segmentectomy for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, whether patients who underwent subsegmentectomy could obtain satisfactory clinical outcomes remains unclear. The present study aimed to compare the clinical outcomes and security of surgical procedures between subsegmentectomy and segmentectomy. Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed through five online databases to identify the included literatures which presented intact clinical outcome data among different surgical procedures. The included studies were evaluated based on precise and predefined inclusion criteria. Results There were 4 published studies identified in this meta-analysis. A total of 325 patients who underwent subsegmentectomy and 904 patients who underwent segmentectomy were involved in this analysis. The duration of drainage [MD -0.19; 95%CI (-0.36, -0.02), p = 0.03] and postoperative hospital stay [MD -0.30; 95%CI (-0.58, -0.02), p = 0.009] of subsegmentectomy were significantly less than that of segmentectomy. There was no statistically significant difference among recurrence rate [OR 0.85; 95%CI (0.21, 3.42), p = 0.82], operation time, blood loss, incidence of complications [OR 0.83; 95%CI (0.58, 1.20), p = 0.33] between subsegmentectomy and segmentectomy in patients with stage IA NSCLC. Conclusion The meta-analysis was firstly performed to compare perioperative outcomes among surgical procedures. The perioperative outcomes were comparable between subsegmentectomy and segmentectomy. Subsegmentectomy might be an alternative treatment for the deep tumor with size less than 1.5 cm and mainly composed of Ground Glass Opacity (GGO).

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is shown that the postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was associated with survival benefit in an elderly population. We aimed to analyze the feasibility and efficacy of alternate-day S-1, an oral fluoropyrimidine, for adjuvant chemotherapy in elderly patients with completely resected pathological stage IA (tumor diameter > 2 cm) to IIIA (UICC TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours, 7th edition) NSCLC. METHODS Elderly patients were randomly assigned to receive adjuvant chemotherapy for one year consisting of either alternate-day oral administration of S-1 (80 mg/m2/day) for 4 days a week (Arm A) or a daily oral administration of S-1 (80 mg/m2/day) for 14 consecutive days followed by 7-day rest (Arm B). The primary endpoint was feasibility (treatment completion rate), which was defined as the proportion of patients who completed the allocated intervention for 6 months with a relative dose intensity (RDI) of 70% or more. RESULTS We enrolled 101 patients in which 97 patients received S-1 treatment. The treatment completion rate at 6 months was 69.4% in Arm A and 64.6% in Arm B (p = 0.67). Treatment completion rate in Arm B tended to be lower compared to Arm A, as the treatment period becomes longer (at 9 and 12 months). RDI of S-1 at 12 months and completion of S-1 administration without dose reduction or postponement at 12 months was significantly better in Arm A than in Arm B (p = 0.026 and p < 0.001, respectively). Among adverse events, anorexia, skin symptoms and lacrimation of any grade were significantly more frequent in Arm B compared with Arm A (p = 0.0036, 0.023 and 0.031, respectively). The 5-year recurrence-free survival rates were 56.9% and 65.7% for Arm A and B, respectively (p = 0.22). The 5-year overall survival rates were 68.6% and 82.0% for Arm A and B, respectively (p = 0.11). CONCLUSION Although several adverse effects were less frequent in Arm A, both alternate-day and daily oral administrations of S-1 were demonstrated to be feasible in elderly patients with completely resected NSCLC.

The comparison of Lobe-Specific or Systematic Mediastinal Lymph Node Dissection for Early-Stage Lung Adenocarcinoma With Consolidation Tumor Ratio Over 0.5. Clin Lung Cancer 2023; 24:51-59. [PMID: 36153194 DOI: 10.1016/j.cllc.2022.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 08/08/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Surgery is the most effective treatment for early-stage lung cancer. This study will propose a personalized plan for mediastinal lymph node dissection in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma to reduce the risk of surgery and improve the quality of life. METHODS This study retrospectively analyzed the patients underwent lobectomy and lymph node dissection in the Department of Thoracic Surgery, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. Clinical stage I lung adenocarcinoma patients with solid component ratio (CTR) between 0.5 and 1 were included. Patients were divided into systematic (S-MLND) and lobe-specific (L-MLND) mediastinal lymph node dissection groups. The days of hospitalization, the presence or absence of complications, the recurrence-free survival rate, and the overall survival rate were calculated to evaluate the postoperative quality and operation risk of the patients. RESULTS 210 patients (138 L-MLND and 72 S-MLND) were included. 2 lymph node metastases appeared in the S-MLND group while none in the L-MLND group (P = .049). No differences were shown in age, tumor site, size, solid component, degree of tumor invasion, and stage. The proportion of patients with severe postoperative cough and the length of hospital stay in the L-MLND group decreased. The 5-year OS of the entire cohort was 98.1%, 98.6% in L-MLND, compared with 97.2% in S-MLND; RFS was 94.8%, 95.7% in L-MLND, compared with 93.0% in S-MLND. CONCLUSION For cIA lung adenocarcinoma, according to the Thin-slice CT within 1 month before the operation, if the main lesion was less than 3 cm and CTR over 0.5, L-MLND is as effective as S-MLND.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to compare two different PET/CT tomographs for the evaluation of the role of radiomics features (RaF) and machine learning (ML) in the prediction of the histological classification of stage I and II non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at baseline [18F]FDG PET/CT. A total of 227 patients were retrospectively included and, after volumetric segmentation, RaF were extracted. All of the features were tested for significant differences between the two scanners and considering both the scanners together, and their performances in predicting the histology of NSCLC were analyzed by testing of different ML approaches: Logistic Regressor (LR), k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN), Decision Tree (DT) and Random Forest (RF). In general, the models with best performances for all the scanners were kNN and LR and moreover the kNN model had better performances compared to the other. The impact of the PET/CT scanner used for the acquisition of the scans on the performances of RaF was evident: mean area under the curve (AUC) values for scanner 2 were lower compared to scanner 1 and both the scanner considered together. In conclusion, our study enabled the selection of some [18F]FDG PET/CT RaF and ML models that are able to predict with good performances the histological subtype of NSCLC. Furthermore, the type of PET/CT scanner may influence these performances.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Squamous cell carcinoma of the lung-the second most common subtype of lung cancer-has a poorer prognosis than lung adenocarcinoma. However, in contrast to lobectomy, the oncological outcomes after segmentectomy for primary squamous cell carcinomas remain unknown; hence, this study investigated these outcomes. METHODS Patients who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy for clinically node-negative primary lung squamous cell carcinoma with a whole tumor size of ≤ 30 mm on preoperative computed tomography scan during April 2010 to December 2020 were included in this study. The cumulative incidence of recurrence (CIR) among all included patients and propensity score-matched patients were compared using the Gray method. Multivariate analysis using propensity scores and surgical procedures was performed using the Fine and Gray method. RESULTS Overall, 230 patients were included in this study; of these, 172 (74.8%) underwent lobectomy and 58 (25.2%) underwent segmentectomy. No significant differences were observed in the CIR between patients who underwent lobectomy and those who underwent segmentectomy (5-year rate 18.1% vs. 14.2%; p = 0.787). Moreover, no significant differences in CIR were observed between the propensity score-matched patients who underwent lobectomy (n = 43) and those who underwent segmentectomy (n = 43) (8.6% vs. 8.0%; p = 0.571). Multivariable analysis was performed for CIR using the propensity score; it revealed that segmentectomy was not a significant predictor of worse CIR (hazard ratio, 0.987; p = 0.980). CONCLUSIONS Segmentectomy may be feasible for treating clinically early-stage lung squamous cell carcinoma; its oncological outcomes are similar to those of lobectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A new histologic grading system for pulmonary non-mucinous invasive adenocarcinoma was proposed by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC). We evaluated its clinical impact on prognosis in stage I patients, including minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA). PATIENTS AND METHODS 919 patients underwent surgery for lung adenocarcinoma between 2012 and 2019. Stage I patients (n = 500) were retrospectively reviewed. They were divided into 4 categories: MIA and 3 new IASLC grades (grades 1-3). Cox proportional hazards analysis was performed to identify risk factors associated with recurrence and mortality. Furthermore, we compared the predictability of the IASLC grading system with different models that are based on the clinicopathologic characteristics (baseline model), TNM staging, and predominant histologic pattern. The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was calculated for comparison. RESULTS Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly stratified by the IASLC grading system in patients with stage I adenocarcinoma (P < .001 and P = .003, respectively). In multivariate analyses, IASLC grade 3 was a significant factor for RFS (hazard ratio [HR] 3.18, P < .001) and OS (HR 2.31, P = .013). The AUCs of the new IASLC model were 0.781 for recurrence and 0.770 for mortality, compared with those of the predominant pattern (0.769 for recurrence, 0.747 for death) and TNM staging (0.762 for recurrence, 0.747 for death). CONCLUSION The IASLC grading system effectively predicted the prognosis of early-stage adenocarcinoma compared with previous models. The IASLC classification appears to improve the current system; therefore, precise pathologic examination for early-stage adenocarcinoma is warranted.

SPP1 Derived from Macrophages Is Associated with a Worse Clinical Course and Chemo-Resistance in Lung Adenocarcinoma. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14184374.

Abstract
Simple Summary Osteopontin, also called secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1), is expressed by cancer cells and is known as a poor prognostic factor. Although the production of SPP1 by tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) has been attracting much attention recently, there have been no studies distinguishing the SPP1 expression of cancer cells and TAMs. In the present study, we demonstrated the following points. (1) Increased SPP1 expression on TAMs is associated with a worse clinical course in EGFR-wild-type adenocarcinoma. (2) SPP1 expression on macrophages is dependent on GM-CSF-mediated macrophage differentiation. (3) Macrophage-derived SPP1 potentially contributed to chemoresistance in lung cancer. Abstract Osteopontin, also called secreted phosphoprotein 1 (SPP1), is a multifunctional secreted phosphorylated glycoprotein. SPP1 is also expressed in tumor cells, and many studies demonstrated that a high level of circulating SPP1 is correlated with a poor prognosis in various cancers. SPP1 is expressed not only by tumor cells but also by stromal cells, such as macrophages. However, there have been no studies distinguishing the SPP1 expression of cancer cells and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). Thus, in this study, we tried to accurately evaluate the SPP1 expression status on cancer cells and TAMs separately in patients with non-small cell lung cancer by using double immunohistochemistry. We demonstrated that high SPP1 expression on TAMs predicted a poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients. Additionally, we investigated the expression mechanisms related to SPP1 using human-monocyte-derived macrophages and revealed that the SPP1 expression level increased in macrophage differentiation mediated by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. Furthermore, SPP1 contributed to anti-cancer drug resistance in lung cancer cell lines. In conclusion, SPP1 production on TAMs predicted a poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma patients, and TAM-derived SPP1′s involvement in the chemo-resistance of cancer cells was suggested.

Abstract
Background The histological subtype has been introduced in invasive lung adenocarcinoma. The predominant micropapillary and solid subtypes are categorized as high‐grade patterns and provide a worse prognosis. However, the prognostic analysis of high‐grade patterns has not previously been fully investigated. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the prognostic role of high‐grade patterns in pathological stage I lung adenocarcinoma. Methods Patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma and micropapillary or solid components were reviewed. Clinicopathological features and clinical course were compared in these subtypes, and prognostic factors were analyzed in high‐grade patterns. Results The patients were classified into five groups based on the presence of micropapillary or solid subtypes, namely, micropapillary predominant, solid predominant, both nonpredominant subtypes, only minor micropapillary subtype, and only minor solid subtype present. Disease‐free interval was significantly different, and the micropapillary predominant group showed worse disease‐free interval (p = 0.001). Contrastingly, the solid predominant group showed significantly worse overall survival among high‐grade patterns (p = 0.035). The multivariate analysis revealed an association between smoking, micropapillary predominant, blood vessel invasion, and visceral pleural invasion with recurrence and more association between solid predominant and visceral pleural invasion with overall survival. Conclusions Clinical results were different in stage I high‐grade adenocarcinoma. The predominant micropapillary subtype is the independent prognostic factor for recurrence. However, the solid subtype is the significant factor for overall survival. Furthermore, the predominant subtype is the most valuable and independent prognostic factor for predicting recurrence or survival.

Abstract
Background Tumor size is a valuable prognostic factor because it is considered a measure of tumor burden. However, it is not always correlated with the tumor burden. This study aimed to identify the prognostic role of pathological tumor proportional size using the proportion of tumor cells on the pathologic report after curative resection in pathologic stage I lung adenocarcinoma. Methods We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 630 patients with pathologic stage I lung adenocarcinoma after lung resection for curative aims. According to the pathologic data, the proportion of tumor cells was reviewed and pathological tumor proportional size was estimated by multiplying the maximal diameter of the tumor by the proportion of tumor cells. We investigated the prognostic role of pathological tumor proportional size. Results The median tumor size was 2 cm (range: 0.3–4), and the median pathological tumor proportional size was 1.5 (range: 0.12–3.8). This value was recategorized according to the current tumor‐node‐metastasis (TNM) classification, and 184 patients showed down staging compared with the current stage. The survival curve for disease‐free survival using pathological tumor proportional size showed more distinction than the current stage classification. Multivariate analysis revealed that a down stage indicated a favorable prognostic factor. Conclusion Pathological tumor cell proportional size may be associated with prognosis in stage I lung adenocarcinoma. If the pathological tumor proportional size shows a downward stage, it may indicate a smaller tumor burden and better prognosis

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery has become an accepted method for the treatment of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this Bayesian meta-analysis was to compare the overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), and relapse-free survival (RFS) between wedge resection and lobectomy/segmentectomy for treatment of early-stage NSCLC. METHODS Eligible studies were retrieved from Web of Science, PubMed, MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, CNKI, and WanFang up to July 2021 and screened based on established selection criteria. The Bayesian meta-analysis was performed with the combination of the reported survival outcomes of the individual studies using a random-effect model. The OS, DFS, and RFS of the wedge resection group was compared with the lobectomy/segmentectomy group. The hazard ratio (HR) and standard error were extracted or calculated for each study using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS This study was registered with PROSPERO (INPLASY202080090).The pooled OS hazard ratio between segmentectomy and lobectomy was 1.1 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.92-1.4], the pooled HR between lobectomy and wedge resection was 0.71 [95% CI 0.52-0.96], and the pooled HR between segmentectomy and wedge was 0.80 [95% CI 0.56-1.10]. The pooled HR of DFS or RFS was not statistically significant among the three surgical approaches. CONCLUSIONS Patients with early-stage NSCLC received lobectomy had the lowest hazard ratio of OS than patients received wedge resection, indicating that the overall survival of patients received lobectomy was higher than patients received wedge resection. However, regarding DFS and RFS, the three surgical approaches showed no significant difference.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Segmentectomy can provide oncologically acceptable results for small-sized non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, in cases of NSCLC with pathological invasive characteristics such as lymphatic invasion (LY), vascular invasion (V), pleural invasion (PL) and/or lymph node metastasis, the feasibility of segmentectomy is not known. METHODS The patients included in the study (i) underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy for NSCLC with invasive characteristics such as LY, V, PL or pathological lymph node metastasis; (ii) presented with a node-negative, solid component-predominant tumour (consolidation tumour ratio >50%) on preoperative computed tomography; (iii) had a whole-tumour size of 2 cm or less; and (iv) presented between January 2010 and December 2019 to one of the 3 institutions. Cumulative incidences of recurrence (CIRs) after segmentectomy and lobectomy were compared. RESULTS A total of 321 patients were included. Segmentectomy and lobectomy were performed in 80 (24.9%) and 241 (75.1%) patients, respectively. There was no significant difference in CIR between segmentectomy (5-year CIR rate, 17.2%) and lobectomy patients (5-year CIR rate, 27.8%, P = 0.135). In the propensity score-matched cohort, there was no significant difference in CIR between segmentectomy (5-year CIR rate, 19.1%) and lobectomy patients (5-year CIR rate, 19.2%; P = 0.650). In the multivariable analysis using inverse probability of treatment weighting and surgical method, segmentectomy was not a significant predictor of worse CIR (P = 0.920). CONCLUSIONS Segmentectomy is feasible for clinically early-stage NSCLC irrespective of the presence of LY, V, PL or lymph node metastasis.

Abstract
The effect of post-operative adverse events (AEs) on patient outcomes such as length of stay (LOS) and readmissions to hospital is not completely understood. This study examined the severity of AEs from a high-volume thoracic surgery center and its effect on the patient postoperative LOS and readmissions to hospital. This study includes patients who underwent an elective lung resection between September 2018 and January 2020. The AEs were grouped as no AEs, 1 or more minor AEs, and 1 or more major AEs. The effects of the AEs on patient LOS and readmissions were examined using a survival analysis and logistic regression, respectively, while adjusting for the other demographic or clinical variables. Among 488 patients who underwent lung surgery, (Wedge resection [n = 100], Segmentectomy [n = 51], Lobectomy [n = 310], Bilobectomy [n = 10], or Pneumonectomy [n = 17]) for either primary (n = 440) or secondary (n = 48) lung cancers, 179 (36.7%) patients had no AEs, 264 (54.1%) patients had 1 or more minor AEs, and 45 (9.2%) patients had 1 or more major AEs. Overall, the median of LOS was 3 days which varied significantly between AE groups; 2, 4, and 8 days among the no, minor, and major AE groups, respectively. In addition, type of surgery, renal disease (urinary tract infection [UTI], urinary retention, or acute kidney injury), and ASA (American Society of Anesthesiology) score were significant predictors of LOS. Finally, 58 (11.9%) patients were readmitted. Readmission was significantly associated with AE group (P = 0.016). No other variable could significantly predict patient readmission. Overall, postoperative AEs significantly affect the postoperative LOS and readmission rates.

Abstract
Background As segmentectomy had become commonly used for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) treatment, which had the advantages of radical operation, however, it remains controversial owing to procedural complexity and risk of increased complications compared with wedge resection. We evaluated operative and postoperative outcomes of simple segmentectomy compared to wedge resection in ground-glass opacity (GGO) diameter between 2 cm and 3 cm NSCLC. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 1600 clinical GGO diameter between 2 cm and 3 cm NSCLC patients who received simple segmentectomy and wedge resection between Jan 2011 and Jan 2015. Participants were matched 1:1 on their propensity score for two groups. Clinic-pathologic, operative, and postoperative results of two groups were compared. Results After using propensity score methods to create a matched cohort of participants with simple segmentectomy group similar to that wedge resection, there were no significant differences detected in tumor size, margin distance, histology, age, sex, preoperative comorbidities and preoperative pulmonary function. Overall complications in simple segmentectomy group were more than wedge resection group (21% vs 3%, p = 0.03). Median operative time (110.6 vs. 71.2 min; p = 0.01) and prolonged air leakage (12% vs. 3%; p = 0.02) was significantly longer in the simple segmentectomy group. There was no difference in recurrence free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) of 5-years between simple segmentectomy group and wedge resection group. Postoperative pulmonary function in simple segmentectomy group recovered more slowly than wedge resection group. Conclusion Wedge resection may have comparable efficacy as simple segmentectomy for GGO diameter between 2 cm and 3 cm NSCLC, but lead to less complications, less surgical procedure and faster recovery of pulmonary function.

Abstract
Background Lung cancer has a poor prognosis; the number of long-term survivors (LTSs) is small compared with that of other cancers. Few studies have focused on late recurrence in LTSs with lung cancer. The purpose of this study was to analyze the risk factors for survival and late recurrence in LTSs after disease-free period of 5 years. Methods A retrospective analysis of patients with a disease-free survival of at least 5 years after surgical resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) between January 1998 and December 2012 was conducted. Patients who underwent neo-adjuvant therapy, had an incomplete resection, or had advanced stage (stages IIIb and IV) cancer were excluded. Results A total of 1,254 (53.2%) of 2,357 patients were enrolled. Of these, 759 (60.5%) were men, and the mean patient age was 61.9±10.1 (range, 10-87 years) years. Pathologic N0 (997 patients, 79.5%) and stage I (860 patients, 68.6%) were the dominant stages. Late recurrence occurred in 22 patients (1.8%) 5 years postoperatively. On multivariate analysis, male sex, older age, node-positive status, and late recurrence were found to be independent risk factors for overall survival (OS), while a node-positive status was the only independent risk factor for disease-free survival [hazard ratio (HR) =3.824; P=0.002; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.658-8.821]. Conclusions The nodal stage at the time of surgical resection was found to be an independent risk factor for both OS and disease-free survival 5 years after initial treatment in patients with completely resected NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cisplatin-based chemotherapy administered concurrently to thoracic radiation therapy is the recommended treatment for fit patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC. The aim of this study was to describe patient profiles and clinical outcomes for the different treatment strategies in a real-word setting. METHODS The epidemio-strategy and medical economics (ESME) database for advanced and metastatic lung cancer is a French, national, multicenter, observational cohort. Out of 8514 Patients, 822 patients with unresectable locally advanced NSCLC in 2015-016 were selected (mean age, 65.3 years; male gender, 69%; performance status 0-1, 77%; smokers or former smokers, 89%). RESULTS Treatment was initiated for 736 (90%) of patients (concurrent chemoradiotherapy, n = 283; sequential chemoradiotherapy, n = 121; chemotherapy alone, n = 194; radiotherapy alone, n = 121; targeted therapy alone, n = 8; other, n = 9). Compared to the other treatment strategy groups, patients with radiotherapy alone appeared the most fragile (e.g. higher age, lower body weight or higher frequency of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). OS rates at 12 and 24 months were 79.5% (95% CI, 73.4-84.3) and 55.3% (95% CI, 44.9-64.5) for concurrent chemoradiotherapy, and 64.3% (95% CI, 52.8-73.8) and 53.2 (95% CI, 33.2-69.6) for sequential chemoradiotherapy. CONCLUSIONS Real-world evidence shows that concurrent chemoradiotherapy is administered to the most fit patients with non resectable locally-advanced NSCLC. Clinical outcomes are actually higher than those reported in landmark clinical trials, which suggests that an optimized and individualized selection of patients allows for prolonged survival. Long-term outcomes are similar after sequential or concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract
GROWING EFFORTS ARE BEING INVESTED IN INVESTIGATING VARIOUS MOLECULAR APPROACHES TO DETECT MINIMAL RESIDUAL DISEASE (MRD) AND PREDICT DISEASE RECURRENCE. IN OUR STUDY, WE INVESTIGATED THE UTILITY OF PARALLEL LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS OF MUTATION AND DNA METHYLATION PROFILES FOR PREDICTING MRD IN POSTOPERATIVE NON-SMALL-CELL LUNG CANCER (NSCLC) PATIENTS. TUMOR TISSUES AND LONGITUDINAL BLOOD SAMPLES WERE OBTAINED FROM 65 PATIENTS WITH RESECTED STAGE IA-IIIB NSCLC. SOMATIC MUTATION AND DNA METHYLATION PROFILING WERE PERFORMED USING ULTRA-DEEP TARGETED SEQUENCING AND TARGETED BISULFITE SEQUENCING, RESPECTIVELY. DYNAMIC CHANGES IN PLASMA-BASED MUTATION AND TUMOR-INFORMED METHYLATION PROFILES, REFLECTED AS MRD SCORE, WERE OBSERVED FROM BEFORE SURGERY (BASELINE) TO POSTOPERATIVE FOLLOW-UP, REFLECTING THE DECREASE IN TUMOR BURDEN OF THE PATIENTS WITH RESECTED NSCLC. MUTATIONS WERE DETECTED FROM PLASMA SAMPLES IN 63% OF THE PATIENTS AT BASELINE, WHICH SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED TO 23-25% DURING POST-OPERATIVE FOLLOW-UPS. MRD SCORE POSITIVE RATE WAS 95.7% AT BASELINE, WHICH REDUCED TO 74% AT THE FIRST AND 70% AT THE SECOND FOLLOW-UP. AMONG THE 5 RELAPSED PATIENTS WITH PARALLEL LONGITUDINAL ANALYSIS OF MUTATION AND METHYLATION PROFILE, ELEVATED MRD SCORE WAS OBSERVED AT FOLLOW-UP BETWEEN 0.5-7 MONTHS PRIOR TO RADIOLOGIC RECURRENCE FOR ALL 5 PATIENTS. OF THEM, 4 PATIENTS ALSO HAD CONCOMITANT INCREASE IN ALLELIC FRACTION OF MUTATIONS IN AT LEAST 1 FOLLOW-UP TIME POINT, BUT ONE PATIENT HAD NO MUTATION DETECTED THROUGHOUT ALL FOLLOW-UPS. OUR RESULTS DEMONSTRATE THAT LONGITUDINAL PROFILING OF MUTATION AND DNA METHYLATION MAY HAVE POTENTIAL FOR DETECTING MRD AND PREDICTING RECURRENCE IN POSTOPERATIVE NSCLC PATIENTS.

Abstract
Concomitant radiochemotherapy (RTCT) is the standard treatment for unresectable stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, in patients with a peripheral primary tumor, the irradiated volume may include a large portion of normal lung and RT-CT is not possible. This multicenter phase II trial in unresectable stage III NSCLC with peripheral primary tumor evaluated the feasibility of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in peripheral tumor after concomitant radio-chemotherapy (RT-CT). Nineteen patients were included and analyzed (median age, 60.9 years; male, 78%; adenocarcinoma, 74%; median size of peripheral primary tumor, 19 mm). At 6 months, the disease control rate was 79% (15/19). SBRT toxicity was generally mild with one (5%) patient having grade 3 lung toxicity. Recruitment for this study was stopped prior to completion, firstly due to the approval of adjuvant durvalumab after RT-CT, which was not anticipated in the design, and secondly due to the small number of stage III NSCLC patients with a peripheral tumor that was accessible to SBRT. Nevertheless, the combination of RT-CT and SBRT appeared to be feasible and safe.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Segmentectomy has been increasingly used for lung cancer treatment, however there are very limited data evaluating the postoperative pulmonary function of patients treated with complex segmentectomy. We evaluated the postoperative pulmonary function of patients who underwent complex segmentectomy compared with simple segmentectomy, wedge resection, and lobectomy. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed data from 580 patients who underwent surgical resection. The patients were divided into four groups: complex segmentectomy (n = 135), simple segmentectomy (n = 83), wedge resection (n = 89), and lobectomy (n = 273). Functional testing included forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), and predicted diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (%DLCO) measured preoperatively and at 12 months after surgery. RESULTS During the postoperative course, the complex segmentectomy and simple segmentectomy groups showed a comparable course of pulmonary function. The complex segmentectomy group significantly preserved pulmonary function compared with the lobectomy group (FVC, p = 0.017; FEV1, p = 0.010; %DLCO, p = 0.0043). A similar trend was observed even when restricted to lung diseases in the right upper lobe. On the other hand, when comparing complex segmentectomy with wedge resection, complex segmentectomy showed a trend that was more disadvantageous than wedge resection, but this difference was not significant (FVC, p = 0.19; FEV1, p = 0.40; %DLCO, p = 0.96). CONCLUSIONS Complex segmentectomy showed comparable postoperative pulmonary functions as simple segmentectomy. Complex segmentectomy could preserve pulmonary function significantly compared with lobectomy and did not result in significant loss compared with wedge resection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Although segmentectomy for lung cancer has been widely accepted, complex segmentectomy, which creates several, intricate intersegmental planes, remains controversial. Potential arguments include risk of incurability and 'failure of cancer control'. We compared the outcomes of complex segmentectomy versus lobectomy and evaluated its use in lung cancer treatment. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed clinical stage IA lung cancer patients who underwent complex segmentectomy (n = 99) or location-adjusted lobectomy (n = 94) between April 2009 and December 2017. Clinicopathological and postoperative results were compared. Factors affecting survival were assessed by the Kaplan-Meier method and the Cox regression analysis. RESULTS No significant differences were detected in 30-day mortality (0% vs 0%), overall complications (26.3% vs 21.3%) and prolonged air leakage (11.1% vs 9.6%) rates between the 2 groups, respectively. Comparable results were obtained for 5-year overall (93.5% vs 96.4%, respectively; P = 0.21) or recurrence-free (92.3% vs 88.5%, respectively; P = 0.82) survivals after complex segmentectomy or lobectomy. There were 2 (2.0%) recurrences after complex segmentectomy and 7 (7.5%) after lobectomy (P = 0.094), with 0 (0%) margin relapses in each group. Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that complex segmentectomy and lobectomy had a numerically similar impact on recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio 0.93, 95% confidence interval 0.32-2.69; P = 0.90).

[PMID: 34037324 PMCID: PMC8258359 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.13984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2021] [Revised: 04/13/2021] [Accepted: 04/13/2021] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with early lung cancer are the best candidates for surgical resection. However, those patients with high grade patterns (micropapillary or solid) do not have a good prognosis, even if they have been diagnosed with stage I lung adenocarcinoma. A new modified grading system has been introduced and this study aimed to identify the prognostic role of the new grading system in patients with stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS Patients with pathological stage IA lung adenocarcinoma, according to the eighth TNM classification who underwent curative resection, were reviewed. The pathological data of stage IA adenocarcinoma was reviewed 1 (grade 1: lepidic predominant with no or less than 20% of high grade patterns, grade 2: acinar or papillary predominant with no or less than 20% of high grade patterns, grade 3: any tumor with 20% or more of high grade patterns). Prognostic factors were analyzed for disease-free interval (DFI) and overall survival (OS) using Cox proportional models. RESULTS The medical records of 429 patients with stage IA lung adenocarcinoma were reviewed. DFI (p < 0.001) and OS (p < 0.001) were significantly lower in patients diagnosed with grade 3 compared with grade 1 and grade 2. Multivariate analysis showed that smoking (p = 0.013), value of SUVmax (p = 0.005), lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.004) and grade 3 (p = 0.008) were significant prognostic factors for DFI. CONCLUSIONS The proportion of high grade patterns showed a different prognosis, even if curative resection had been performed for stage IA adenocarcinoma. This new grading system is more simple and useful in the prediction of a prognosis in patients with stage IA lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Objective To determine the appropriate amount of indocyanine green for bronchial insufflation. Methods We enrolled 20 consecutive patients scheduled for anatomical segmentectomy in the Kochi Medical School Hospital. After inducing general anesthesia, 6 to 60 mL of 200-fold-diluted indocyanine green (0.0125 mg/mL) was insufflated into the subsegmental bronchi in the targeted pulmonary segmental bronchus. The volume of the targeted pulmonary segments was calculated using preoperative computed tomography. Fluorescence spread in the segmental alveoli was visualized using a dedicated near-infrared thoracoscope. Results The targeted segment was uniformly visualized by indocyanine green fluorescence in 16/20 (80.0%) cases after insufflating indocyanine green. A receiver operating characteristic curve indicated that the area under the curve was 0.984; the optimal cut-off volume of diluted indocyanine green for insufflation was 8.91% of the calculated targeted pulmonary segment volume. Conclusions The setting for indocyanine green insufflation was optimized for near-infrared fluorescence image-guided anatomical segmentectomy. By injecting the correct amount of indocyanine green, fluorescence-guided anatomical segmentation may be performed more appropriately.

Abstract
Lobectomy has been the standard surgical treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Over the decades, with the dramatic development of radiographic tools, such as high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and the widespread practice of low-dose helical CT for screening, the number of cases diagnosed with small-cell lung cancers with ground glass opacity (GGO) at early stages has been increasing. Accordingly, mainly after 2000, many retrospective studies and prospective trials have shown that patients with lung adenocarcinoma with GGO have a good prognosis and may be candidates for sublobar resection. Previous studies indicated that HRCT findings including the maximum diameter of the tumor, GGO ratio, and a consolidation/tumor ratio (CTR) are simple and useful tools to predict tumor invasiveness and prognosis in patients with NSCLC with GGO. Thus, sublobar resection may be considered a “standard therapy” for peripheral GGO-dominant small-cell lung adenocarcinomas. Ultimately, some of such tumors might not require surgical resection. A multicenter, prospective study has just begun in Japan to evaluate the validity of follow-up for small-sized GGO-dominant small-cell lung cancer. Lung cancers that do not require surgery should be identified. This study reviewed retrospective and prospective studies on GGO tumors and discussed the treatment strategies for such tumors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Recently, inhibition of programmed cell death 1 or its ligand has shown therapeutic effects on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the effectiveness of preoperative nivolumab monotherapy for stage I NSCLC remains unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the pathological response of preoperative treatment with nivolumab for clinically node negative but having a high risk of NSCLC recurrence. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The Preoperative Nivolumab (Opdivo) to evaluate pathologic response in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer: a phase 2 trial (POTENTIAL) study is a multicentre phase II trial investigating efficacy of preoperative nivolumab for clinical stage I patients at high risk of recurrence. This study includes histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC patients with clinical N0 who were found on preoperative high-resolution CT to have a pure solid tumour without a ground-glass opacity component (clinical T1b, T1c or T2a) or a solid component measuring 2-4 cm in size (clinical T1c or T2a). Patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (deletion of exon 19 or point mutation on exon21, L858R), anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocation or c-ros oncogene 1 (ROS-1) translocation are excluded from this study. Nivolumab (240 mg/body) is administrated intravenously as preoperative therapy every 2 weeks for three cycles. Afterward, lobectomy and mediastinal lymph node dissection (ND 2a-1 or ND 2a-2) are performed. The primary endpoint is a pathological complete response in the resected specimens. The secondary endpoints are safety, response rates and major pathological response. The planed sample size is 50 patients. Patients have been enrolled since April 2019. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This trial was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Hiroshima University Hospital and other participating institutions. This trial will help examine the efficacy of preoperative nivolumab therapy for clinical stage I NSCLC. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER jRCT2061180016.

Clinical Characteristics and Prognosis of Patients With Pulmonary Mucoepidermoid Carcinoma: A SEER-Based Analysis. Front Oncol 2021; 11:601185. [PMID: 33747918 PMCID: PMC7973275 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2021.601185] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 01/07/2021] [Indexed: 02/05/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Primary pulmonary mucoepidermoid carcinoma (PMEC) is an extremely rare malignancy. Its clinical characteristics and prognosis are not fully understood. This study evaluated clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of PMEC and established a nomogram to predict its 1-, 3-, 5- and 10-year cancer-specific survival (CSS) rates. METHODS In the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016, patients pathologically diagnosed with PMEC were identified. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression were performed to evaluate the CSS stratified by different covariates. A predictive nomogram model was built and validated by the concordance index (C-index) and calibration curves. RESULTS A total of 585 PMEC patients were identified. A total of 408 (70%) of patients were placed into the training cohort, and 177 (30%) patients were placed into the validation cohort. The 5- and 10-year CSS rates of stage I-II PMEC patients were 91.4 and 88.9, respectively. The 1-, 3- and 5-year CSS rates of stage III-IV PMEC were 56.5, 39.45, and 32.1%, respectively. Survival curves showed that older age, large tumor size, poor differentiation, and high TNM stage were associated with a significantly worse prognosis. CSS outcomes were significantly better in patients who received surgical treatments (surgical alone, surgery plus radiation and/or chemotherapy). Patients who received radiation and/or chemotherapy had the worst prognosis. Multivariate Cox results revealed that covariates, including age, tumor laterality, tumor sizes, pathological differentiation, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, TNM stage and therapy, were independent prognostic factors for PMEC. These factors were used to construct a nomogram. The C-index of the nomogram was 0.921. The calibration curve presented favorable consistency between the predicted CSS and actual observations. This nomogram was validated by the validation cohort. The C-index of the validation cohort was 0.968. CONCLUSION Age, bilateral tumors, tumor size, pathological differentiation grade, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, TNM stage and therapy were independent prognostic factors of PMEC patients. The first nomogram for predicting the CSS of PMEC was built and validated, showing its potential value in practice.

Abstract
Objective Pleurodesis is among several treatment strategies for postoperative alveolo-pleural fistula (APF) after lung resection. Accordingly, the present study aimed to determine the influence of pleurodesis on postoperative pulmonary function. Methods Patients who underwent anatomical segmentectomy between January 2009 and March 2020 and pulmonary function tests 6 and 12 months after initial surgery were included in this study. Differences in pulmonary function decline between patients who did and did not undergo pleurodesis were compared. Results Among the 319 patients included, 39 (12.2%) underwent pleurodesis. Among patients who did not receive pleurodesis, there were no difference in decline of vital capacity at 6 months (−13.7% ± 1.1% vs −11.2% ± 0.7%; P = .063) and 12 months (−10.7% ± 1.3% vs −9.5% ± 0.7%; P = .391) after surgery between patients who had APF on postoperative day 2 and those who did not. Patients who received pleurodesis had a significantly larger decline in vital capacity at 6 months (−19.4% ± 2.4% vs −13.7% ± 1.1%; P = .015) and 12 months (−16.2% ± 1.6% vs −10.7% ± 1.3%; P = .010) after surgery compared with those who had APF on postoperative day 2 and did not receive pleurodesis. There were no significant differences in decline of forced expiratory volume in 1 second. Conclusions Pleurodesis negatively influenced postoperative vital capacity after lung segmentectomy. Although the clinical influence of this is unknown, careful consideration is needed before performing pleurodesis given its potential influence on postoperative pulmonary function.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study examined the incidence of pathologic N2 (pN2) non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and prognostic factors affecting survival of these patients. METHODS A total of 119 patients who underwent surgery for NSCLC (lobectomy and pneumonectomy) between January 2008 and December 2016 were evaluated retrospectively. The patients with pN2 included in this study were assessed in two groups; single pN2 and multiple pN2. RESULTS The most common type of resection was lobectomy (56.3%). Ninety-four patients (79%) received adjuvant therapy. Eighty-six patients (72.3%) had single-station pN2 and 33 (27.7%) had multiple pN2. The 5-year survival rates were 29.3% overall, 38.6% in single-station pN2, and 11% in multiple-station pN2 (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.581, p = .037). There was no statistically significant difference in 5-year survival rates between patients with pN1N2 and those with pN0N2 involvement (39.1% vs. 37.1%) (p = .625). Not receiving adjuvant therapy was associated with poor survival prognosis (HR: 8.2 p < .001). The 5-year survival rate was 36.2% among patients with pN2 involvement with 2 or more positive lymph nodes and 19.5% among those with fewer than 2 positive lymph nodes (HR: 0.83, p = .463). CONCLUSIONS The most significant prognostic factors associated with survival were pN2 status. Non-skip metastases (pN1N2) and positive lymph node count were not associated with prognosis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Despite the ubiquitous utilization of anatomical sublobar resection for malignant lung tumors, the effectiveness and feasibility of subsegmentectomy remains unclear. This study therefore compared the perioperative outcomes between anatomical sublobar resection including (IS) and excluding (ES) subsegmentectomy. METHODS Patients who had undergone anatomical sublobar resection at our institution from January 2013 to March 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Clinicopathologic characteristics and perioperative outcomes of the IS group (n = 58) were then analyzed the compared to those of the ES group (n = 203). RESULTS No statistically significant differences in age, sex, comorbidities, tumor location, preoperative pulmonary function, or tumor size on imaging were found between both groups. The IS group had significantly higher preoperative computed tomography-guided marking rates (40% vs. 18%; p < 0.01) and used significantly more staplers for intersegmental dissection than the ES group [4, interquartile range (IQR): 3-4 vs. 3, IQR: 3-4; p = 0.03]. Both groups had comparable 30-day mortality (0% vs. 0%; p > 0.99), intraoperative complications (7% vs. 10%; p = 0.61), and postoperative complications (5% vs. 8%; p = 0.58). After propensity score matching, the IS group experienced significantly lesser blood loss than the ES group (5 mL, IQR: 1-10 vs. 5 mL, IQR: 5-20; p = 0.03). Both groups experienced no local recurrence and demonstrated similar postoperative pulmonary functions after surgery. CONCLUSIONS IS may be a feasible and acceptable therapeutic option for malignant lung tumors. Nonetheless, future investigations are required to further validate the current findings.

The Combination of CA125 and NSE Is Useful for Predicting Liver Metastasis of Lung Cancer. DISEASE MARKERS 2020; 2020:8850873.

Abstract
Purpose Liver metastasis is the final stage of cancer progression and is associated with poor prognosis. Although numerous indicators have been identified as having prognostic value for lung cancer and liver metastasis, liver metastases are still not diagnosed by imaging in many patients. To provide a more accurate method for clinical prediction of liver metastasis, we analyzed multiple factors to identify potential predictive factors for liver metastasis of lung cancer. Methods Patients first diagnosed with lung cancer between 2002 and 2016 (n = 1746) were divided into two groups, with and without liver metastasis. Serum concentrations of calcium, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cancer antigen-125 (CA125), cancer antigen-153 (CA153), carbohydrate antigen-199 (CA199), cytokeratin fraction 21-1 (CYFRA21-1), total prostate-specific antigen (TPSA), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) were analyzed in both patient groups. Results There was no significant difference in age or sex between the two groups. CA125 and NSE were significantly associated with liver metastasis. Compared with CA125, NSE was more specific, while it was less sensitive (P < 0.001). Further analysis of NSE concentrations was conducted in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer and indicated that NSE concentration differed significantly between those with and without liver metastasis (P = 0.023). We conducted analysis with NSE and CA125 combined, resulting in acceptable sensitivity (51.2%), specificity (72.6%), and area under the curve (0.64) values; sensitivity and area under the curve values were higher than those for individual factors, while specificity was higher than that for CA125. Conclusions The combination of CA125 and NSE can assist prediction of liver metastasis of lung cancer, providing improved diagnostic accuracy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In patients with non-small cell lung cancer, surgical treatment with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy is performed. However, the improvement of overall survival achieved by postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy may be insufficient in consideration of the deterioration of quality of life (QOL). Considering the relationships among surgical treatments, inflammation and carcinogenesis, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a candidate postoperative treatment for preventing recurrence and maintaining QOL. In this study, we investigate the effects of the perioperative administration of flurbiprofen axetil on postoperative recurrence in patients with non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study is a multicentre, parallel group, open label, randomised controlled trial. Patients clinically suspected of non-small cell lung cancer are randomly assigned to the flurbiprofen axetil group or the no-NSAIDs group. A total of 420 patients (210 per group) will be registered. The primary analysis will evaluate the treatment effect of flurbiprofen axetil on postoperative recurrence. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol was approved by the Clinical Research Review Board of Saitama Medical University in September 2019 (No. 192002) and will be approved by each institutional review board of all participating institutions before patient enrolment. This study complies with the latest version of the Declaration of Helsinki, Clinical Trial Act and related notifications. Results will be published in a peer-reviewed journal. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs031190167; Pre-results) (https://jrct.niph.go.jp/).

Abstract
With improvements in detection technology, increasing numbers of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are being diagnosed at an early stage. In order to treat the illness with minimal invasion and preserve lung function to the greatest possible extent, there has been an increasing tendency towards treating early-stage NSCLC by segmentectomy. However, questions remain regarding whether patients may benefit from this procedure considering the surgical and oncological outcomes. Whether adequate margin distance and lymph node dissection may be achieved is one of the most important issues associated with this procedure. The present study reviews the prognosis of segmentectomy in the treatment of stage IA NSCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the characteristics, ground glass opacity ratio and prognosis of patients with clinical N0 non-small cell lung cancer tumours exceeding 30 mm in size. METHODS Patients with clinical N0 non-small cell lung cancer and total tumour size >30 mm on preoperative computed tomography who underwent complete resection with lobectomy between January 2007 and December 2017 were included. The patients were divided into three groups: pure solid tumour, low ground glass opacity ratio (1-39%) tumour and high ground glass opacity ratio (≥40%) tumour. The cut-off line was determined based on the recurrence rate for every 10% ground glass opacity ratio. RESULTS Among the 227 study patients, 129 (56.8%) had a pure solid tumour, 54 (23.8%) had a low ground glass opacity ratio tumour and 44 (19.4%) had a high ground glass opacity ratio tumour. Three-year recurrence-free survival was significantly shorter in patients with a pure solid tumour (57.4%) than in patients with a low ground glass opacity ratio (74.5%; P = 0.009) or a high ground glass opacity ratio tumour (92.1%; P < 0.001). Multivariable analysis showed that ground glass opacity ratio was a significant independent prognostic factor for recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio, 0.175; P = 0.037). CONCLUSION Pure solid tumours comprised a large proportion of non-small cell lung cancer tumours >30 mm in size and their prognosis was poor. The presence of ground glass opacity and their relative proportion affect prognosis in patients with clinical N0 non-small cell lung cancer tumours >30 mm in size, similar to those with small-sized tumours.

Abstract
Objective: The role of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) in resected stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains controversial. This study aimed to explore the effect of PORT on survival of resected stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC patients. Methods: Resected stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC patients aged 18 years or older were identified from the SEER (Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results) database from 2010 to 2015. Cox regression analysis was used to identify factors including PORT associated with survival time. A subgroup analysis of patients stratified by number of lymph node metastases was also performed. Overall survival (OS) and overall mortality were compared among the different groups. Results: A total of 3,445 patients were included in the study. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that PORT had no significant impact on survival of patients with <6 positive lymph node [hazard ratio (HR) = 1.012, P = 0.858, 95% CI: 0.886–1.156]. Postoperative chemotherapy (POCT) (HR = 0.605, P < 0.001, 95% CI: 0.468–0.783) and PORT (HR = 0.724, P = 0.007, 95% CI: 0.574–0.914) are both favorable prognostic factors for stage IIIA-N2 patients with ≥6 positive lymph nodes. In 2,735 patients who featured <6 number of positive regional lymph nodes, patients who received PORT had better survival and lower 3-years and 5-years overall mortality rate than patients who underwent surgery only (41 vs. 28 months, P < 0.015). There was no significant difference in the survival of postoperative patients who underwent POCT in view of whether received PORT (44 vs. 53 months, P = 0.176). A total of 710 patients who featured ≥6 number of positive regional lymph node metastasis were divided into two groups by PORT. PORT did not prolong survival for postoperative patients who did not receive chemotherapy (12 vs. 15 months, P = 0.632). PORT showed a significant advantage in influencing OS in patients who received PORT combined with POCT as compared with those who received POCT only (32 vs. 25 months, P = 0.006). Conclusions: For IIIA-N2 patients with <6 lymph node metastases, use of PORT can be encouraged to improve survival. For patients with ≥6 positive lymph nodes, PORT combined with POCT significantly improved OS and decreased overall mortality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE With the increase in lung cancer patients over 80 years of age, lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection is often performed in patients in a good general condition. However, the age limit for this procedure has not yet been determined. In this study, we examined the safety, therapeutic results, and prognosis of surgical treatment for lung cancer patients over 85 years of age. METHODS Among the 4446 lung cancer patients who underwent surgery at our hospital from January 1997 to March 2019, we assessed 320 patients (7.2%, Group A, aged 80-84 years) and 74 patients (1.7%, Group B, aged over 85 years). RESULTS The median age of the patients in Group B was 86 years. Compared to Group A, Group B had significantly more patients with a history of ischemic heart disease, lower pack-year smoking, and lobectomy and lobectomy less resection (reduced surgery), and a shorter operation time (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of postoperative complications. There was no significant difference in survival rate and prognosis between the two groups, and the 2-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 79.0%, 74.7%, and 53.6%, respectively, in Group B. In Group B sex (female) and early stage of cancer were independent prognostic factors of non-small cell lung cancer (stage I). CONCLUSIONS In a limited number of patients, surgical resection in patients aged over 85 years was safely performed, and the survival of these patients was comparable to those aged 80-84 years.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Anatomical segmentectomy has the potential to replace lobectomy as the standard procedure for early stage non-small cell lung cancer. We investigated the safety and feasibility of robotic anatomical segmentectomy for non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS Overall 20 patients underwent robotic anatomical segmentectomy at Hiroshima University Hospital between January 2014 and January 2018. The clinicopathological characteristics, surgical outcomes, complications and prognosis were analyzed. RESULTS The median age was 68 (range 42-86) years, and 15 patients were female. Six patients were non-smokers. The most common clinical stage was IA1 (nine patients). Complex segmentectomies were performed in four patients (one right S3 segmentectomy, two right S8 segmentectomies and one left S8 + S9 segmentectomy). The median operation time was 163.5 (range, 114-314) minutes, and the median console time was 104 (range, 60-246) minutes. The median blood loss was 26.5 (range, 5-247) ml. The median resection margin and number of dissected lymph node were 15 (range, 2-60) mm and 5 (range, 1-15), respectively. Although five (25.0%) patients had grade IIIa complications (pleurodesis for prolonged air leakage) and one (5.0%) had a grade IIIb complication (reoperation for prolonged air leakage), no post-operative deaths occurred. The surgical outcomes were comparable with those of anatomical segmentectomy performed under hybrid video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery during the same period. CONCLUSION In our initial experience of robotic anatomical segmentectomy for early stage non-small cell lung cancer, the procedure seems to be safe and feasible.

A Novel Nomogram including AJCC Stages Could Better Predict Survival for NSCLC Patients Who Underwent Surgery: A Large Population-Based Study. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2020; 2020:7863984. [PMID: 32565807 PMCID: PMC7256774 DOI: 10.1155/2020/7863984] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/04/2020] [Accepted: 04/16/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Objective In this study, we aimed to establish a novel nomogram model which was better than the current American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage to predict survival for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent surgery. Patients and Methods. 19617 patients with initially diagnosed NSCLC were screened from Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database between 2010 and 2015. These patients were randomly divided into two groups including the training cohort and the validation cohort. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze the influence of different variables on overall survival (OS). Then, using R software version 3.4.3, we constructed a nomogram and a risk classification system combined with some clinical parameters. We visualized the regression equation by nomogram after obtaining the regression coefficient in multivariate analysis. The concordance index (C-index) and calibration curve were used to perform the validation of nomogram. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the clinical utility of the nomogram. Results Univariate and multivariate analyses demonstrated that seven factors including age, sex, stage, histology, surgery, and positive lymph nodes (all, P < 0.001) were independent predictors of OS. Among them, stage (C-index = 0.615), positive lymph nodes (C-index = 0.574), histology (C-index = 0.566), age (C-index = 0.563), and sex (C-index = 0.562) had a relatively strong ability to predict the OS. Based on these factors, we established and validated the predictive model by nomogram. The calibration curves showed good consistency between the actual OS and predicted OS. And the decision curves showed great clinical usefulness of the nomogram. Then, we built a risk classification system and divided NSCLC patients into two groups including high-risk group and low-risk group. The Kaplan-Meier curves revealed that OS in the two groups was accurately differentiated in the training cohort (P < 0.001). And then, we validated this result in the validation cohort which also showed that patients in the high-risk group had worse survival than those in the low-risk group. Conclusion The results proved that the nomogram model had better performance to predict survival for NSCLC patients who underwent surgery than AJCC stage. These tools may be helpful for clinicians to evaluate prognostic indicators of patients undergoing operation.

Abstract
The eighth edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for lung cancer was introduced in 2017 and included major revisions, especially of stage III. For the subgroup stage IIIA-N2 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), surgical resection remains controversial due to heterogeneous disease entity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathologic features and prognostic factors of patients with completely resected stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC. We retrospectively evaluated 77 consecutive patients with pathologic stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC (AJCC eighth edition) who underwent surgical resection with curative intent in China Medical University Hospital between 2006 and 2014. Survival analysis was conducted, using the Kaplan–Meier method. Prognostic factors predicting overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) were analyzed, using log-rank tests and multivariate Cox proportional hazards models. Of the 77 patients with pathologic stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC examined, 35 (45.5%) were diagnosed before surgery and 42 (54.5%) were diagnosed unexpectedly during surgery. The mean age of patients was 59 years, and the mean length of follow-up was 38.1 months. The overall one-, three-, and five-year OS rates were 91.9%, 61.3%, and 33.5%, respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that tumor size <3 cm (hazards ratio (HR): 0.373, p = 0.003) and video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) approach (HR: 0.383, p = 0.014) were significant predictors for improved OS. For patients with surgically treated, pathologic stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC, tumor size <3 cm and the VATS approach seemed to be associated with better prognosis.

Abstract
Background Robotic anatomic segmentectomy (RATS) for early-stage lung cancer is being increasingly performed in spite of limited published evidence. To evaluate its safety and oncologic efficacy, we compared the outcomes of both RATS and video-assisted thoracoscopic (VATS) segmentectomy in patients with small-sized (<2 cm) peripheral stage IA lung cancer. Methods From November 2011 to January 2018, a total of 130 patients with resected stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent RATS (n=50) and VATS (n=80) pulmonary segmentectomy were included. Clinicopathologic data, recurrence rate, and survival were recorded. Results The demographics, pulmonary function, comorbidity, and tumor size were similar between RATS segmentectomy and VATS segmentectomy. The surgery time, intensive care unit stay, hospital stay, and blood loss were reduced in the RATS group compared to the VATS group. The number of totally dissected lymph nodes and postoperative complications were similar between the 2 groups. There was no operative mortality. The intensity of narcotic use during hospital stay and the time to return to routine daily activities were also reduced in the RATS group. There was no recurrence observed in the RATS group during the median 38-month follow-up period; meanwhile, during a median 85-month follow-up period in the VATS group, local recurrence and distant recurrence was observed in 2 patients (2.5%) and 3 patients (3.75%) respectively. There was no significant difference in the 5-year recurrence-free survival between the RATS and VATS groups (100% vs. 93.75%; P>0.05). Conclusions RATS can be performed safely and effectively in patients with early-stage NSCLC. The reduced narcotic use and earlier return to routine daily activities of RATS patients might reflect its less traumatic nature as compared to VATS. For stage IA disease with small tumors (<2 cm), segmentectomy performed by RATS has better oncologic efficacy when compared to VATS, although in this study, this difference did not reach statistical difference.

This study provides the benchmark statistics on medically treated patients with non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) in Japan. Demographic background, treatment, and prognosis were obtained from patients with lung cancer pathologically diagnosed in 2012, who received nonsurgical treatment. Descriptive statistics and their associations with survival were analyzed. In total, 12 320 patients were registered from 314 institutions in Japan. The median age was 70 years, and 73% of the patients were male. The number (%) of stages I, II, III, and IV diseases were 468 (3.8%), 421 (3.4%), 3260 (26.5%), and 8171 (66.3%), respectively. NSCLC and SCLC accounted for 9872 (80.1%) and 2353 (19.1%) patients, respectively. Thoracic radiotherapy‐based therapy, chemotherapy, and palliative care alone were administered to 2572 (20.9%), 7790 (63.2%), and 1952 (15.8%) patients, respectively. Clinical TNM stage was one of the strongest prognostic factors with the 3‐year survival rates of 62.9%, 47.3%, 40.0%, 27.8%, 37.5%, 26.5%, and 18.2% for stages IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB, and IV, respectively. Among 6158 patients with NSCLC treated with chemotherapy, the 3‐year survival rate was 33.4% in patients receiving epidermal growth factor receptor‐tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR‐TKIs) at some point in their clinical course, whereas it was 17.4% in patients who did not. The 3‐year survival rate of SCLC was only 15.9%. In conclusion, approximately two‐thirds of the patients were diagnosed as stage IV at the initial diagnosis. Use of EGFR‐TKIs significantly improved the survival of patients with NSCLC.

Validation of the Proposed cN2 Subclassification in the Eighth Edition of the IASLC Staging System: A Prospective Phase II Multicenter Study. JTO Clin Res Rep 2020; 1:100019. [PMID: 34589926 PMCID: PMC8474189 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtocrr.2020.100019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 02/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Surgery for N2 stage IIIA NSCLC is not recommended in major guidelines. Nevertheless, it has been noted that single-station N2 may have a better prognosis than multistation N2 and that surgery can be performed as the main therapeutic option. Methods We conducted a prospective phase II study for single-station clinical N2 (cN2) NSCLC to evaluate the efficacy and safety of surgical resection without induction therapy. Complete resection with lobectomy, bilobectomy, or pneumonectomy followed by ipsilateral mediastinal lymphadenectomy was performed in 32 of 34 enrolled patients, whereas the remaining two patients underwent incomplete resection. Three-quarters of the patients underwent subsequent adjuvant chemotherapy. Results The 5-year overall survival rate was 58.5% (95% confidence interval: 41.9–75.4) for all 34 patients, and eight patients (23.5%) with pN0 or pN1 seemed to have been enrolled. The 5-year overall survival rates for single-station cN2 without and with hilar node enlargement were 81.3% and 37.5%, respectively (p = 0.025). Surgical mortality was 0% for all, and no considerable perioperative complications were noted; however, two patients died of interstitial pneumonia and unknown cause within 3 months after surgical resection. Conclusions This is the very first prospective study on the surgical approach for cN2 NSCLC, and our result partially validated the proposed classification of the N descriptor in the new staging system. The treatment for single-station cN2 without hilar node enlargement would better if it were similar to that for cN1 disease. Induction chemotherapy or chemoradiotherapy may not be needed for such an entity.

Salvage stereotactic body radiotherapy for post-operative oligo-recurrence of non-small cell lung cancer: A single-institution analysis of 59 patients. Oncol Lett 2020; 19:2695-2704. [PMID: 32218820 PMCID: PMC7068670 DOI: 10.3892/ol.2020.11407] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/06/2019] [Accepted: 11/14/2019] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
A standard treatment for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who undergo surgery, and subsequently develop local failure or intrathoracic oligo-recurrence, has not yet been established. The present study aimed to assess the feasibility of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for this subgroup of patients. Consequently, a retrospective analysis was conducted of patients with NSCLC recurrence who were treated with SBRT, and previously underwent curative surgical resection between October 2011 and October 2016. Post-SBRT survival [overall survival (OS); progression-free survival (PFS); and local control (LC)] and toxicity were analyzed. Prognostic factors for OS were identified using univariate and multivariate analysis. A total of 52 patients and 59 tumors were analyzed. The median follow-up time was 25 months (35 months for surviving patients), and median OS following salvage SBRT was 32 months. The 1- and 3-year OS rates were 84.4 and 67.8%, respectively. 1- and 3-year PFS rates were 80.8 and 58.7%, respectively. Only 4 patients (7.7%) developed local failure. Median LC was 71 months and 1- and 3-year LC rate were 97.9 and 94.9%, respectively. A total of 4 patients experienced grade 3 or higher adverse events (AEs) and two experienced grade 5 AEs (pneumonitis and hemoptysis). Central tumor location and the possibility of re-operation were independent prognostic factors for OS. The present study indicated that post-operative salvage SBRT is a promising therapeutic option for patients with NSCLC with locoregional or intrathoracic oligo-recurrence. We regard toxicity was also acceptable. However, further research is required on the appropriate selection of subjects, and stratification of the analysis by certain risk factors would increase the accuracy of the conclusions.

Prediction of Postoperative Clinical Outcomes in Resected Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Focusing on the Preoperative Glasgow Prognostic Score. Cancers (Basel) 2020; 12:cancers12010152. [PMID: 31936329 PMCID: PMC7016624 DOI: 10.3390/cancers12010152] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/16/2019] [Revised: 01/04/2020] [Accepted: 01/06/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Background: The Glasgow Prognostic Score (GPS), which consists of albumin and C-reactive protein (CRP), may predict overall survival (OS) in cancer patients. The aim of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the clinical impact of the preoperative GPS on patients with resected early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: 300 patients with curatively resected stage I NSCLC were followed-up for OS, recurrence-free survival (RFS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), and death from other causes. Results: 229 patients (76%) had a preoperative GPS of 0, and 71 (24%) a GPS ≥ 1. The three-year probabilities of RFS, OS, CSS, and death from other causes were 81%, 84%, 88%, and 96% in patients with GPS = 0, and 79%, 74%, 91%, and 82% in patients with a GPS ≥ 1, respectively. GPS ≥ 1 was significantly associated with a higher risk of death from other causes (p = 0.022), serving as an independent predictor of death from other causes (p = 0.034). Pathologically elevated CRP levels (CRP > 5 mg/L) were found in 91 patients (30%). The mean CRP level was 7.88 ± 15.80 mg/L (0.5–135.6 mg/L). Pre-treatment CRP level was significantly associated with coronary heart disease (p < 0.0001), histology (p = 0.013), tumor size (p = 0.018), tumor stage (p = 0.002), and vascular invasion (p = 0.017). Conclusion: The preoperative GPS predicts adverse survival outcomes in patients with resected stage I NSCLC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a multifactorial disease, and differences in the characteristics of surgical patients may develop over the years. This study aimed to evaluate the patients who underwent curative surgical resection for NSCLC in the past 20 years at our center and analyze the changes in the treatment strategies based on demographics, surgical strategies, and histopathology. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective single-center cohort study, 1995 patients who had undergone lobectomy, bilobectomy, or pneumonectomy for primary NSCLC from January 1997 to January 2017 were analyzed. Patients were divided into two groups: Group I included patients operated in the first 10 years and Group II included patients operated in the last 10 years. RESULTS Overall, 77% of patients were operated in the last 10 years (458 vs. 1537 patients). Sleeve lobectomies performed in Group II reduced the rate of pneumonectomy from 37% to 20% (p<0.001). The operation rates for adenocarcinomas increased significantly during the study period, increasing from 31.4% to 36.2% (p=0.049). The 30- and 90-day postoperative mortality rates were 4.6% and 8.5% in Group I and 4.1% and 5.7% in Group II, respectively (p=0.69 and p=0.037, respectively). When the groups were compared, the median and 5-year survival rates were 44.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 35.6-52.6) and 42.9% in Group I and 73.6 months (95% CI, 63.3-83.9) and 53.9% in Group II, respectively (p<0.001). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates an improvement in long-term outcomes following lung cancer surgery with an increasing rate of surgical procedures in the last 10 years. There was an increase in the proportion of females affected and the rate of adenocarcinoma. However, the pneumonectomy and postoperative N2 disease rates have decreased with advancing preoperative evaluation techniques and parenchyma-saving surgical methods. Postoperative mortality has decreased, and the survival rate has increased.
