Association between clinical outcomes and local treatment in stage IV non-small cell lung cancer patients with single extrathoracic metastasis. Thorac Cancer 2022; 13:1349-1360. [PMID: 35355417 PMCID: PMC9058316 DOI: 10.1111/1759-7714.14398] [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: 12/13/2021] [Revised: 03/07/2022] [Accepted: 03/09/2022] [Indexed: 11/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Local treatment (LT) such as radiotherapy and metastasectomy on metastatic sites may improve outcomes in oligometastatic NSCLC patients, but more data are necessary to support LT in oligometastatic diseases. Patients with single extrathoracic metastatic lesion are more likely to benefit from local therapy. In this study, we evaluated the impact of LT in NSCLC patients with a single extrathoracic metastatic lesion. Methods Data were obtained from the Korean Association for Lung Cancer Registry (KALC‐R), a database created using a retrospective sampling survey by the Korean Central Cancer Registry (KCCR) and the Lung Cancer Registration Committee. Results A total of 787 NSCLC patients with a single extrathoracic metastatic lesion were evaluated. In the multivariate analysis for OS, age, female sex, poor performance score, squamous histological subtype, LT, and initial treatment modality showed significant associations. Regarding LT, groups that underwent curative LT were significantly associated with better OS compared to groups that did not undergo LT (p = 0.011, HR 0.448, 95% CI: 0.242–0.829). In the multivariate analysis of patients who underwent LT, poor performance score, initial treatment modality, and T stage were independently associated with poor OS. Compared to the T1 stage, T3 stage showed an HR of 2.470 (95% CI: 1.309–4.663; p = 0.005) and T4 stage showed an HR of 2.063 (95% CI: 1.093–3.904; p = 0.026). Conclusion In NSCLC with a single extrathoracic metastatic lesion, LT, especially for curative purposes, has an independent association with OS. Moreover, among the patients who received LT, factors such as T stage, poor performance score, and initial treatment modality were significantly associated with OS.

First-Line Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors Combined With Local Consolidative Radiation Therapy for Elderly Patients With Oligometastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Harboring EGFR Activating Mutations. Front Oncol 2022; 12:766066. [PMID: 35145913 PMCID: PMC8822235 DOI: 10.3389/fonc.2022.766066] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/28/2021] [Accepted: 01/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy and safety of combined applications of local consolidative radiation therapy (LCRT) and first-line tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for the treatment of primary tumors and oligometastatic sites in oligometastatic NSCLC harboring Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) activating mutations.Patients and MethodsElderly patients with oligometastatic NSCLC (≤5 metastases) harboring EGFR activating mutations at the time of diagnosis were identified. They were treated with first-line TKIs alone or in combination with LCRT. Progression‐free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated through the Kaplan–Meier method.ResultsA total of 122 elderly patients were enrolled between February 2010 and January 2018. Among them, 41.0% (n = 50) received TKIs combined with LCRT (TKIs + LCRT group), whereas 59.0% (n = 72) received TKIs monotherapy (TKIs alone group). Patients were followed up for a median length of 34 months (ranging from 7.0 to 64 months). The median PFS in TKIs + LCRT group was 17 months (95%CI: 15.37–18.63), which was significantly longer than that of the TKIs-alone group (12 months; 95%CI: 11.05–12.95) (p <0.001). Median OS in TKIs + LCRT group was 38 months (95%CI: 35.61–40.39), while that of the TKIs-alone group was 29 months (95%CI: 26.86–31.14) (p <0.001). Multivariate analyses revealed that LCRT, one to two metastases, and good ECOG PS were independent predictors for better PFS (p <0.001, p = 0.004, and p = 0.027). Moreover, LCRT, good ECOG PS, and T1-2 stage were independent predictors for better OS (p <0.001, p = 0.007 and p = 0.007). Most of the patients suffered from grade 1 to 2 toxicities, and treatment-related deaths were not recorded.ConclusionFirst-line TKIs combined with LCRT may improve survival outcomes for elderly patients with oligometastatic NSCLC harboring EGFR activating mutations. This approach was not associated with much toxicity, therefore, it can be used for the treatment of elderly patients with oligometastatic disease.

Predicting tumor response and prognosis to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients using PERCIST: a multicenter study in Japan. Eur J Nucl Med Mol Imaging 2021; 48:3666-3682. [PMID: 33934168 DOI: 10.1007/s00259-021-05365-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2020] [Accepted: 04/11/2021] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the usefulness of the positron emission tomography response criteria in solid tumors 1.0 (PERCIST1.0) for predicting tumor response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy and prognosis and determine whether PERCIST improvements are necessary for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the cases of 177 ESCC patients and examined the association between PERCIST and their pathological responses. Associations of whole-PERCIST with progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were evaluated by a Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazards model. To investigate potential PERCIST improvements, we used the survival tree technique to understand patients' prognoses. RESULTS There were significant correlations between the pathologic response and PERCIST of primary tumor (p < 0.001). The optimal cutoff value of the primary tumors' SULpeak response to classify pathologic responses was -50.0%. The diagnostic accuracy of SULpeak response was 87.3% sensitivity, 54.1% specificity, 68.9% accuracy, positive predictive value 60.5%, and negative predictive value 84.1%. Whole-PERCIST was significantly associated with PFS and OS. The survival tree results indicated that a high reduction of the whole SULpeak response was significantly correlated with the patients' prognoses. The cutoff values for the separation of prognoses were - 52.5 for PFS and - 47.1% for OS. CONCLUSION PERCIST1.0 can help predict tumor responses and prognoses. However, 18F-FDG-PET/CT tends to underestimate residual tumors in histopathological response evaluations. Modified PERCIST, in which the partial metabolic response is further classified by the SULpeak response (-50%), might be more appropriate than PERCIST1.0 for evaluating tumor responses and stratifying high-risk patients for recurrence and poor prognosis.

High neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio at cancer diagnosis predicts incidence of stroke in cancer patients. Brain Commun 2021; 3:fcab071.

Abstract
Although cancer increases the incidence and severity of ischaemic stroke, there is no reliable method for predicting ischaemic stroke in cancer patients. To evaluate the prognostic capacity of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio at cancer diagnosis for predicting the incidence of ischaemic stroke, we used a hospital-based cancer registry that contained clinical data from all patients treated for cancer at Osaka University Hospital between 2007 and 2015. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was calculated after dividing absolute neutrophil counts by absolute lymphocyte counts. These counts were obtained within 1 month after cancer diagnosis. The primary endpoint was new-onset ischaemic stroke within 2 years after cancer diagnosis. Of the 18 217 included cancer patients (median age: 65.2 years), 69 (0.38%) had ischaemic stroke. Unadjusted Cox regression analysis stratified by cancer site demonstrated that each 1-unit increase in the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was associated with a significant 7.2% increase in the risk of an ischaemic stroke event (95% confidence interval 1.041–1.103, P < 0.001). Survival tree analysis and the Kaplan–Meier method suggested that patients with and without atrial fibrillation who had increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios had a higher risk of ischaemic stroke. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard models, adjusted for cancer site and stage, revealed that patients with high neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (>15) had higher ischaemic stroke risk than patients with low neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratios (<5). This was true among cancer patients both with (hazard ratio 11.598; 95% confidence interval 0.953–141.181) and without (hazard ratio 7.877; 95% confidence interval 2.351–26.389) atrial fibrillation. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio at cancer diagnosis is associated with the incidence of ischaemic stroke among cancer patients and might thus be useful for identifying patients at high risk of ischaemic stroke, allowing us to guide future preventive interventions.

Abstract
This review covers the importance of local consolidative therapy (LCT) in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation-positive with oligometastatic and oligoprogressive non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). With the advent of third-generation EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors, a more updated review is necessary. We review the efficacy of LCT, pathophysiological background, and treatment modalities other than radiotherapy. In addition, we also discussed when and how LCT should be applied to patients with oligometastatic and oligoprogressive NSCLC.
