Abstract
BACKGROUND The value of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial. A subset of patients may benefit from PORT. We aimed to identify patients with NSCLC who could benefit from PORT. METHODS Patients from cohorts 1 and 2 with pathological Tany N2 M0 NSCLC were included, as well as patients with non-metastatic NSCLC from cohorts 3 to 6. The radiomic prognostic index (RPI) was developed using radiomic texture features extracted from the primary lung nodule in preoperative chest CT scans in cohort 1 and validated in other cohorts. We employed a least absolute shrinkage and selection operator-Cox regularisation model for data dimension reduction, feature selection, and the construction of the RPI. We created a lymph-radiomic prognostic index (LRPI) by combining RPI and positive lymph node number (PLN). We compared the outcomes of patients who received PORT against those who did not in the subgroups determined by the LRPI. RESULTS In total, 228, 1003, 144, 422, 19, and 21 patients were eligible in cohorts 1-6. RPI predicted overall survival (OS) in all six cohorts: cohort 1 (HR = 2.31, 95% CI: 1.18-4.52), cohort 2 (HR = 1.64, 95% CI: 1.26-2.14), cohort 3 (HR = 2.53, 95% CI: 1.45-4.3), cohort 4 (HR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.01-1.52), cohort 5 (HR = 2.56, 95% CI: 0.73-9.02), cohort 6 (HR = 2.30, 95% CI: 0.53-10.03). LRPI predicted OS (C-index: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.60-0.75) better than the pT stage (C-index: 0.57, 95% CI: 0.50-0.63), pT + PLN (C-index: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.46-0.70), and RPI (C-index: 0.65, 95% CI: 0.54-0.75). The LRPI was used to categorize individuals into three risk groups; patients in the moderate-risk group benefited from PORT (HR = 0.60, 95% CI: 0.40-0.91; p = 0.02), while patients in the low-risk and high-risk groups did not. CONCLUSIONS We developed preoperative CT-based radiomic and lymph-radiomic prognostic indexes capable of predicting OS and the benefits of PORT for patients with NSCLC.

Abstract
The current S3 Lung Cancer Guidelines are edited with fundamental changes to the previous edition based on the dynamic influx of information to this field:The recommendations include de novo a mandatory case presentation for all patients with lung cancer in a multidisciplinary tumor board before initiation of treatment, furthermore CT-Screening for asymptomatic patients at risk (after federal approval), recommendations for incidental lung nodule management , molecular testing of all NSCLC independent of subtypes, EGFR-mutations in resectable early stage lung cancer in relapsed or recurrent disease, adjuvant TKI-therapy in the presence of common EGFR-mutations, adjuvant consolidation treatment with checkpoint inhibitors in resected lung cancer with PD-L1 ≥ 50%, obligatory evaluation of PD-L1-status, consolidation treatment with checkpoint inhibition after radiochemotherapy in patients with PD-L1-pos. tumor, adjuvant consolidation treatment with checkpoint inhibition in patients withPD-L1 ≥ 50% stage IIIA and treatment options in PD-L1 ≥ 50% tumors independent of PD-L1status and targeted therapy and treatment option immune chemotherapy in first line SCLC patients.Based on the current dynamic status of information in this field and the turnaround time required to implement new options, a transformation to a "living guideline" was proposed.

RUNX3/H3K27me3 Co-Expression Defines a Better Prognosis in Surgically Resected Stage I and Postoperative Chemotherapy-Naive Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer. JOURNAL OF ONCOLOGY 2022; 2022:5752263. [PMID: 35368900 PMCID: PMC8970863 DOI: 10.1155/2022/5752263] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2021] [Revised: 12/20/2021] [Accepted: 12/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the significance of RUNX3/H3K27me3 co-expression in surgically resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Using tissue microarray (TMA), immunohistochemistry, fluorescent double immunostaining, and western blotting, 208 NSCLC and 5 benign pulmonary patients were studied of their expression of runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3), trimethylated histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3), enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2), and Ki-67. Apoptotic index in cancerous tissue was evaluated via TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL). The correlation between clinicopathologic parameters and overall survival was determined by Cox regression and Kaplan–Meier survival estimates and log-rank test. GEPIA and KM plotter were used for validation of some survival analyses. As a result, together with other regular prognostic factors, RUNX3/H3K27me3 co-expression was found to be closely correlated with better prognosis in either pTNM-I or POCT-naive NSCLC patients, which might partially result from a higher cancerous apoptotic index. In conclusion, RUNX3/H3K27me3 co-expression defined some specific NSCLC population with better prognosis and longer OS and could probably be used as a biomarker in the prediction of better postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
Crosstalk between cancer cells and macrophages plays a crucial role in the development of cancer. In this study, our data showed that M1 macrophages attenuate, while M2 macrophages and tumor-associated macrophages enhance the EGFR-TKIs resistance in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line H1975. Next, long non-coding RNA SOX2 overlapping transcript (SOX2-OT) is highly expressed in NSCLC cells-derived exosomes. NSCLC cells-derived exosomes promote macrophages M2 polarization and inhibit M1 polarization through transferring SOX2-OT to macrophages. Subsequently, our results indicated that NSCLC cells-induced M2-polarized macrophages enhance the EGFR-TKIs resistance in H1975 cells. Furthermore, our data revealed that NSCLC cells-derived exosomes inhibit the expression of miR-627-3p, while promote Smads expression in THP-1 cells. SOX2-OT acts as miR-627-3p sponge to facilitate Smad2, Smad3 and Smad4 expression. Finally, our results indicated that NSCLC cells promote macrophages M2 polarization and suppress M1 polarization through targeting miR-627-3p/Smads signaling pathway by transferring exosomes to THP-1 cells. In conclusion, our data revealed that NSCLC cells promote macrophages M2 polarization through transferring exosomal SOX2-OT, thus to enhance its own EGFR-TKIs resistance. Mechanismly, NSCLC cells-derived exosomal SOX2-OT promotes macrophages M2 polarization via promoting Smads by sponging miR-627-3p. Our data provide a novel therapeutic target for EGFR-TKIs resistance in NSCLC.
