[PMID: 38528137 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-024-10705-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/05/2024] [Revised: 02/01/2024] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 03/27/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association of smoking with the outcomes of percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (PTNB). METHODS In total, 4668 PTNBs for pulmonary lesions were retrospectively identified. The associations of smoking status (never, former, current smokers) and smoking intensity (≤ 20, 21-40, > 40 pack-years) with diagnostic results (malignancy, non-diagnostic pathologies, and false-negative results in non-diagnostic pathologies) and complications (pneumothorax and hemoptysis) were assessed using multivariable logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Among the 4668 PTNBs (median age of the patients, 66 years [interquartile range, 58-74]; 2715 men), malignancies, non-diagnostic pathologies, and specific benign pathologies were identified in 3054 (65.4%), 1282 (27.5%), and 332 PTNBs (7.1%), respectively. False-negative results for malignancy occurred in 20.5% (236/1153) of non-diagnostic pathologies with decidable reference standards. Current smoking was associated with malignancy (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.31; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.02-1.69; p = 0.03) and false-negative results (OR, 2.64; 95% CI: 1.32-5.28; p = 0.006), while heavy smoking (> 40 pack-years) was associated with non-diagnostic pathologies (OR, 1.69; 95% CI: 1.19-2.40; p = 0.003) and false-negative results (OR, 2.12; 95% CI: 1.17-3.92; p = 0.02). Pneumothorax and hemoptysis occurred in 21.8% (1018/4668) and 10.6% (495/4668) of PTNBs, respectively. Heavy smoking was associated with pneumothorax (OR, 1.33; 95% CI: 1.01-1.74; p = 0.04), while heavy smoking (OR, 0.64; 95% CI: 0.40-0.99; p = 0.048) and current smoking (OR, 0.64; 95% CI: 0.42-0.96; p = 0.04) were inversely associated with hemoptysis. CONCLUSION Smoking history was associated with the outcomes of PTNBs. Current and heavy smoking increased false-negative results and changed the complication rates of PTNBs. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Smoking status and intensity were independently associated with the outcomes of PTNBs. Non-diagnostic pathologies should be interpreted cautiously in current or heavy smokers. A patient's smoking history should be ascertained before PTNB to predict and manage complications. KEY POINTS • Smoking status and intensity might independently contribute to the diagnostic results and complications of PTNBs. • Current and heavy smoking (> 40 pack-years) were independently associated with the outcomes of PTNBs. • Operators need to recognize the association between smoking history and the outcomes of PTNBs.

Diagnostic performance and prognostic value of CT-defined visceral pleural invasion in early-stage lung adenocarcinomas. Eur Radiol 2024; 34:1934-1945. [PMID: 37658899 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-023-10204-2] [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: 04/14/2023] [Revised: 07/07/2023] [Accepted: 08/01/2023] [Indexed: 09/05/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the diagnostic performance and prognostic value of CT-defined visceral pleural invasion (CT-VPI) in early-stage lung adenocarcinomas. METHODS Among patients with clinical stage I lung adenocarcinomas, half of patients were randomly selected for a diagnostic study, in which five thoracic radiologists determined the presence of CT-VPI. Probabilities for CT-VPI were obtained using deep learning (DL). Areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUCs) and binary diagnostic measures were calculated and compared. Inter-rater agreement was assessed. For all patients, the prognostic value of CT-VPI by two radiologists and DL (using high-sensitivity and high-specificity cutoffs) was investigated using Cox regression. RESULTS In 681 patients (median age, 65 years [interquartile range, 58-71]; 382 women), pathologic VPI was positive in 130 patients. For the diagnostic study (n = 339), the pooled AUC of five radiologists was similar to that of DL (0.78 vs. 0.79; p = 0.76). The binary diagnostic performance of radiologists was variable (sensitivity, 45.3-71.9%; specificity, 71.6-88.7%). Inter-rater agreement was moderate (weighted Fleiss κ, 0.51; 95%CI: 0.43-0.55). For overall survival (n = 680), CT-VPI by radiologists (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.27 and 0.99; 95%CI: 0.84-1.92 and 0.63-1.56; p = 0.26 and 0.97) or DL (HR, 1.44 and 1.06; 95%CI: 0.86-2.42 and 0.67-1.68; p = 0.17 and 0.80) was not prognostic. CT-VPI by an attending radiologist was prognostic only in radiologically solid tumors (HR, 1.82; 95%CI: 1.07-3.07; p = 0.03). CONCLUSION The diagnostic performance and prognostic value of CT-VPI are limited in clinical stage I lung adenocarcinomas. This feature may be applied for radiologically solid tumors, but substantial reader variability should be overcome. CLINICAL RELEVANCE STATEMENT Although the diagnostic performance and prognostic value of CT-VPI are limited in clinical stage I lung adenocarcinomas, this parameter may be applied for radiologically solid tumors with appropriate caution regarding inter-reader variability. KEY POINTS • Use of CT-defined visceral pleural invasion in clinical staging should be cautious, because prognostic value of CT-defined visceral pleural invasion remains unexplored. • Diagnostic performance and prognostic value of CT-defined visceral pleural invasion varied among radiologists and deep learning. • Role of CT-defined visceral pleural invasion in clinical staging may be limited to radiologically solid tumors.

Diagnostic value of dual-layer spectral detector CT in differentiating lung adenocarcinoma from squamous cell carcinoma. Front Oncol 2022; 12:868216.

Abstract
Background and objectiveThe pathological type of non–small cell lung cancer is considered to be an important factor affecting the treatment and prognosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of spectral parameters of dual-layer spectral detector computed tomography (DLCT) in determining efficacy to distinguish adenocarcinoma (AC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SC), and their combined diagnostic efficacy was also analyzed.MethodsThis is a single-center prospective study, and we collected 70 patients with lung SC and 127 patients with lung AC confirmed by histopathological examination. Morphological parameters, plain scan CT value, biphasic enhanced CT value, and spectral parameters were calculated. The diagnostic efficiency of morphological parameters, spectral parameters, and spectral parameters combined with morphological parameters was obtained by statistical analysis.ResultsIn univariate analysis, seven morphological CT features differed significantly between SC and AC: tumor location (distribution), lobulation, spicule, air bronchogram, vacuole sign, lung atelectasis and/or obstructive pneumonia, and vascular involvement (all p < 0.05). In the arterial phase and the venous phase, the spectral parameters of AC were higher than those of SC (AP-Zeff: 8.07 ± 0.23 vs. 7.85 ± 0.16; AP-ID: 1.41 ± 0.47 vs. 0.94 ± 0.28; AP-NID: 0.13 ± 0.04 vs. 0.09 ± 0.03; AP-λ: 3.42 ± 1.10 vs. 2.33 ± 0.96; VP-Zeff: 8.26 ± 0.23 vs. 7.96 ± 0.16; VP-ID: 1.18 ± 0.51 vs. 1.16 ± 0.30; VP-NID: 0.39 ± 0.13 vs. 0.29 ± 0.08; VP-λ: 4.42 ± 1.28 vs. 2.85 ± 0.72; p < 0.001). When conducting multivariate analysis combining CT features and DLCT parameters with the best diagnostic efficacy, the independent predictors of AC were distribution on peripheral (OR, 4.370; 95% CI, 1.485–12.859; p = 0.007), presence of air bronchogram (OR, 5.339; 95% CI, 1.729–16.484; p = 0.004), and presence of vacuole sign ( OR, 7.330; 95% CI, 1.030–52.184; p = 0.047). Receiver operating characteristic curves of the SC and AC showed that VP-λ had the best diagnostic performance, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.864 and sensitivity and specificity rates of 85.8% and 74.3%, respectively; the AUC was increased to 0.946 when morphological parameters were combined, and sensitivity and specificity rates were 89.8% and 87.1%, respectively.ConclusionThe quantitative parameters of the DLCT spectrum are of great value in the diagnosis of SC and AC, and the combination of morphological parameters and spectral parameters is helpful to distinguish SC from AC.

Kowada A. Cost-effectiveness and health impact of lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography for never smokers in Japan and the United States: a modelling study. BMC Pulm Med 2022; 22:19. [PMID: 34996423 PMCID: PMC8742389 DOI: 10.1186/s12890-021-01805-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/16/2021] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Never smokers in Asia have a higher incidence of lung cancer than in Europe and North America. We aimed to assess the cost-effectiveness of lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for never smokers in Japan and the United States. METHODS We developed a state-transition model for three strategies: LDCT, chest X-ray (CXR), and no screening, using a healthcare payer perspective over a lifetime horizon. Sensitivity analyses were also performed. Main outcomes were costs, quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs), life expectancy life-years (LYs), incremental cost-effectiveness ratios (ICERs), and deaths from lung cancer. The willingness-to-pay level was US$100,000 per QALY gained. RESULTS LDCT yielded the greatest benefits with the lowest cost in Japan, but the ICERs of LDCT compared with CXR were US$3,001,304 per QALY gained for American men and US$2,097,969 per QALY gained for American women. Cost-effectiveness was sensitive to the incidence of lung cancer. Probabilistic sensitivity analyses demonstrated that LDCT was cost-effective 99.3-99.7% for Japanese, no screening was cost-effective 77.7% for American men, and CXR was cost-effective 93.2% for American women. Compared with CXR, LDCT has the cumulative lifetime potential for 60-year-old Japanese to save US$117 billion, increase 2,339,349 QALYs and 3,020,102 LYs, and reduce 224,749 deaths, and the potential for 60-year-old Americans to cost US$120 billion, increase 48,651 QALYs and 67,988 LYs, and reduce 2,309 deaths. CONCLUSIONS This modelling study suggests that LDCT screening for never smokers has the greatest benefits and cost savings in Japan, but is not cost-effective in the United States. Assessing the risk of lung cancer in never smokers is important for introducing population-based LDCT screening.

Abstract
Background International research has focused on screening and mass media campaigns to promote earlier patient presentation and detect lung cancer earlier. This trial tested the effect of a behavioural intervention in people at increased risk of lung cancer on help-seeking for respiratory symptoms. Methods Parallel, individually randomised controlled trial. Eligible participants were long-term smokers with at least 20 pack-years, aged 55 and above. The CHEST intervention entailed a consultation to discuss and implement a self-help manual, followed by self-monitoring reminders to encourage help-seeking for respiratory symptoms. The control group received a brief discussion about lung health. Both groups had baseline spirometry. Telephone randomisation was conducted, 1:1, stratified Medical Research Council (MRC) dyspnoea score and general practice. Participants could not be blinded; data extraction and statistical analyses were performed blinded to group assignment. The primary outcome was respiratory consultation rates. Results We randomised 551 participants (274 intervention, 277 control) from whom the primary outcome was determined for 542 (269 intervention, 273 control). There was a 40% relative increase in respiratory consultations in the intervention group: (adjusted rates (95% CI) intervention 0.57 (0.47 to 0.70), control 0.41 (0.32 to 0.52), relative rate 1.40 (1.08 to 1.82); p=0.0123). There were no significant differences in time to first respiratory consultation, total consultation rates or measures of psychological harm. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was $A1289 per additional respiratory consultation. Conclusions A behavioural intervention can significantly increase consulting for respiratory symptoms in patients at increased risk of lung cancer. This intervention could have an important role in primary care as part of a broader approach to improve respiratory health in patients at higher risk. Trial registration number Australian New Zealand Clinical Trial Registry (1261300039 3752). This was registered pre-results.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common fatal malignancy for both men and women and adenocarcinoma is the most common histologic type. Early diagnosis of lung cancer can significantly improve the survival rate of patients. This study aimed to investigate the micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) manifestations of early lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) in mice and to provide a new perspective for early clinical diagnosis. Early LAC models in 10 mice were established by subcutaneously injecting 1-methyl-3-nitro-1-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) solution. Micro-CT scan and multiple planar reconstruction (MPR) were used for mouse lungs. Micro-CT features of early LAC, especially the relationships between tumor and bronchus, were analyzed and correlated with pathology. Micro-CT findings of early LAC were divided into three types: non-solid (n = 8, 6%), partly solid (n = 85, 64%) and totally solid (n = 39, 30%). Tumor-bronchus relationships, which could be observed in 110 of 132(83%) LAC, were classified into four patterns: type I (n = 16, 15%), bronchus was truncated at the margin of the tumor; type II (n = 33, 30%), bronchus penetrated into the tumor with tapered narrowing and interruption; type III (n = 38, 35%), bronchus penetrated into the tumor with a patent and intact lumen; type IV (n = 99, 90%), bronchus ran at the border of the tumor with an intact or compressed lumen. Micro-CT manifestations of early LAC correlated well with pathological findings. Micro-CT can clearly demonstrate the features of mouse early LAC and bronchus-tumor relationships, and can also provide a new tool and perspective for the study of early LAC.
