Abstract
In the 8th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system for Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC), tumors exhibiting main bronchial infiltration (MBI) near the carina and those presenting with complete lung obstructive pneumonia/atelectasis (P/ATL) have been reclassified from T3 to T2. Our investigation into the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database, spanning from 2007 to 2015 and adjusted via Propensity Score Matching (PSM) for additional variables, disclosed a notably inferior overall survival (OS) for patients afflicted with these conditions. Specifically, individuals with P/ATL experienced a median OS of 12 months compared to 15 months (p < 0.001). In contrast, MBI patients demonstrated a slightly worse prognosis with a median OS of 22 months versus 23 months (p = 0.037), with both conditions significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis (All p < 0.001). Upon evaluating different treatment approaches for these particular T2 NSCLC variants, while adjusting for other factors, surgery emerged as the optimal therapeutic strategy. We counted those who underwent surgery and found that compared to surgery alone, the MBI/(P/ATL) group experienced a much higher proportion of preoperative induction therapy or postoperative adjuvant therapy than the non-MBI/(P/ATL) group (41.3%/54.7% vs. 36.6%). However, for MBI patients, initial surgery followed by adjuvant treatment or induction therapy succeeded in significantly enhancing prognosis, a benefit that was not replicated for P/ATL patients. Leveraging the XGBoost model for a 5-year survival forecast and treatment determination for P/ATL and MBI patients yielded Area Under the Curve (AUC) scores of 0.853 for P/ATL and 0.814 for MBI, affirming the model's efficacy in prognostication and treatment allocation for these distinct T2 NSCLC categories.

Transl Cancer Res 2022; 10:5191-5203. [PMID: 35116369 PMCID: PMC8797363 DOI: 10.21037/tcr-21-1507] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/08/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022]
Abstract
Background The prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with bone metastasis is extremely repulsive. The aim of this study was to potentially characterize the prevalence, associated factors and to establish a prognostic nomogram to predict the overall survival (OS) of NSCLC patients with bone metastasis. Methods The Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database was used to collected NSCLC cases during 2010–2015. The cases with incomplete clinicopathological information were excluded. Finally, 484 NSCLC patients with bone metastasis were included in the present study and randomly divided into the training (n=340) and validation (n=144) cohorts in a ratio of 7:3 based on R software. NSCLC patients with bone metastasis were selected to investigate predictive factors for OS and cancer-specific survival (CSS) using the multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression. A nomogram incorporating these prognostic factors was developed and evaluated by a concordance index (C-index), calibration plots, and risk group stratifications. Results In the Cox proportional hazards model, sex, race, American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) N, T stage, liver metastasis, and chemotherapy were regarded as prognostic factors of OS. The nomogram based on sex, race, AJCC N, T stage, liver metastasis and chemotherapy was developed for cancer-specific death to predict 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rate with good performance. The C-index of established nomogram was 0.695 for cancer-specific death in the study population with an acceptable calibration. Conclusions The female gender, the patients with chemotherapy and not liver metastasis may indicate improved survival. However, the global prospective data with the latest tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) classification is needed to further improve this model.

J Am Geriatr Soc 2021; 69:524-529. [PMID: 33395504 PMCID: PMC9844121 DOI: 10.1111/jgs.17016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/05/2020] [Revised: 11/19/2020] [Accepted: 12/14/2020] [Indexed: 01/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many older adults with limited life expectancy still receive cancer screening. One potential contributor is that primary care providers (PCP) are not trained to incorporate life expectancy in cancer screening recommendations. We describe the development and evaluation of a novel curriculum to address this need. METHODS We developed and implemented a web-based learning module within a large Maryland group practice with PCPs for older adults. We assessed attitude, knowledge, self-efficacy, and self-reported behavior outcomes before the module, immediately after completing the module, and 6 months afterwards. RESULTS Of 172 PCPs who were invited, 86 (50%) completed the module and of these, 50 (58.1%) completed the 6-months follow up survey. Immediately after the module, there was a significant increase in perceived importance of life expectancy (increase of 0.50 point on 10-point scale, 95% confidence intervals (CI) = 0.27-0.73), confidence in predicting life expectancy (increase of 2.32 points on 10-point scale, 95% CI = 1.95-2.70) and confidence in discussion screening cessation (increase of 1.69 points on 10-point scale, 95% CI = 1.37-2.02). Knowledge in patient-preferred communication strategies improved from 55% correct response to 97% (P < .001). However, most of these improvements dissipated by 6 months and there was no change in self-reported behavior at 6 months compared to baseline (P = .34). CONCLUSION Although the module resulted in significant short-term improvement in attitude, knowledge, and self-efficacy, the changes were not sustained over time. Educational interventions such as this can be coupled with ongoing reinforcing strategies and/or decision support interventions to improve cancer-screening practices in older adults.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common cancer and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Age at diagnosis of advanced NSCLC is much older, but studies describing the practice patterns for octogenarians with distant metastasis NSCLC are limited. A retrospective, population-based study using national representative data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program was conducted to evaluate 34 882 NSCLC patients with extrathoracic metastases from 2010 to 2013. Patients were classified into three groups (older group: ≥80 yrs, middle-aged group: 60-79 yrs, and younger group: ≤59 yrs). The role of different age at diagnosis of NSCLC in metastasis patterns was investigated, and survival of different age groups of metastatic NSCLC was assessed. The analysis revealed that older patients were more likely to only have bone or liver metastasis (p< 0.001), but less likely to have brain only metastasis (p<0.001) and multiple metastatic sites (p< 0.001) than other two groups. Age at diagnosis was an independent risk factor for different metastasis types. Older group had the worst overall survival (p<0.001) and cancer-specific survival (p<0.001). Furthermore, older age patients with only bone metastasis had the best cancer specific survival (p<0.05) while younger patients with only brain metastasis had the best prognosis (p<0.001). Over 60% octogenarians with metastatic NSCLC did not receive anti-cancer therapy and had the highest rate of cancer deaths among all patients. Our results may help clinicians make positive decisions regarding personalized treatment of metastatic NSCLC in the elderly.
