Limited resection is comparable to lobectomy for tumor size ≤ 2 cm pulmonary invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma. World J Surg Oncol 2024; 22:109. [PMID: 38664816 PMCID: PMC11044566 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-024-03387-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/29/2024] [Accepted: 04/13/2024] [Indexed: 04/29/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) has a rare incidence with better prognosis than nonmucinous adenocarcinoma. We aimed to investigate the prognosis between limited resection and lobectomy for patients with clinical stage IA IMA ≤ 2 cm. METHODS Data were taken from two cohorts: In Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital (SPH) corhort, we identified 403 patients with clinical stage IA IMA who underwent surgery. In the SEER corhort, 480 patients with stage T1 IMA who after surgery were included. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) for SPH corhort, lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) for the SEER corhort and overall survival (OS) for both corhort were compared between patients undergoing lobectomy and limited resection by Log-rank and Cox proportional hazard regression model. RESULTS In SPH corhort, patients who underwent limited resection had equivalent prognosis than those underwent lobectomy (5-year RFS: 79.3% versus. 82.6%, p = 0.116; 5-year OS: 86.2% versus. 88.3%, p = 0.235). However, patients with IMA > 2 to 3 cm had worse prognosis than those with IMA ≤ 2 cm (5-year RFS: 73.7% versus. 86.1%, p = 0.007). In the analysis of IMA > 2 to 3 cm subgroup, multivariate analysis showed that limited resection was an independent risk factor of RFS (hazard ratio, 2.417; 95% confidence interval, 1.157-5.049; p = 0.019), while OS (p = 0.122) was not significantly different between two groups. For IMA ≤ 2 cm, limited resection was not a risk factor of RFS (p = 0. 953) and OS (p = 0.552). In the SEER corhort, IMA ≤ 2 cm subgroup, limited resection was equivalent prognosis in LCSS (p = 0.703) and OS (p = 0.830). CONCLUSIONS Limited resection could be a potential surgical option which comparable to lobectomy in patients with clinical stage IA IMA ≤ 2 cm.

Development and validation of a deep learning signature for predicting lymph node metastasis in lung adenocarcinoma: comparison with radiomics signature and clinical-semantic model. Eur Radiol 2023; 33:1949-1962. [PMID: 36169691 DOI: 10.1007/s00330-022-09153-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 11.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2022] [Revised: 07/23/2022] [Accepted: 09/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/04/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a deep learning (DL) signature for predicting lymph node (LN) metastasis in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS A total of 612 patients with pathologically-confirmed lung adenocarcinoma were retrospectively enrolled and were randomly divided into training cohort (n = 489) and internal validation cohort (n = 123). Besides, 108 patients were enrolled and constituted an independent test cohort (n = 108). Patients' clinical characteristics and CT semantic features were collected. The radiomics features were derived from contrast-enhanced CT images. The clinical-semantic model and radiomics signature were built to predict LN metastasis. Furthermore, Swin Transformer was adopted to develop a DL signature predictive of LN metastasis. Model performance was evaluated by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, calibration curve, and decision curve analysis. The comparisons of AUC were conducted by the DeLong test. RESULTS The proposed DL signature yielded an AUC of 0.948-0.961 across all three cohorts, significantly superior to both clinical-semantic model and radiomics signature (all p < 0.05). The calibration curves show that DL signature predicted probabilities fit well the actual observed probabilities of LN metastasis. DL signature gained a higher net benefit than both clinical-semantic model and radiomics signature. The incorporation of radiomics signature or clinical-semantic risk predictors failed to reveal an incremental value over the DL signature. CONCLUSIONS The proposed DL signature based on Swin Transformer achieved a promising performance in predicting LN metastasis and could confer important information in noninvasive mediastinal LN staging and individualized therapeutic options. KEY POINTS • Accurate prediction for lymph node metastasis is crucial to formulate individualized therapeutic options for patients with lung adenocarcinoma. • The deep learning signature yielded an AUC of 0.948-0.961 across all three cohorts in predicting lymph node metastasis, superior to both radiomics signature and clinical-semantic model. • The incorporation of radiomics signature or clinical-semantic risk predictors into deep learning signature failed to reveal an incremental value over deep learning signature.

Abstract
The clinicopathological presentation of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma patients with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations has been seldom studied. Our study enrolled patients with stage I and II lung adenocarcinoma between January 2014 and December 2017 at the National Taiwan University Hospital. Clinicopathological features and prognosis were retrospectively reviewed and analyzed depending on EGFR mutation status. EGFR mutations were detected in 622 (60%) out of 1034 patients. Compared to the group without EGFR mutations, the group with EGFR mutations had more patients above 65 years of age (p < 0.001), more non-lepidic histological subtypes (p < 0.001), higher CEA levels (p = 0.044), higher grade of pleural (p = 0.02) and lymphovascular (p = 0.001) invasion, higher histological grade (p < 0.001), and a more advanced pathological stage (p = 0.022). In multivariate analysis, there was no significant difference in PFS or OS between the EGFR mutant and wild-type groups. In subtype analysis, the tumors with an L858R mutation had a more lepidic predominant histological type (p = 0.019) and less lymphovascular invasion (p = 0.011). No significant differences in PFS or OS were detected between the exon 19 deletion and L858R mutation groups. In early-stage lung adenocarcinoma, EGFR mutation may be considered as a treatment response predictor for tyrosine kinase inhibitors, instead of a predictor of clinical prognosis.

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).

CT-Based Radiomic Analysis for Preoperative Prediction of Tumor Invasiveness in Lung Adenocarcinoma Presenting as Pure Ground-Glass Nodule. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14235888. [PMID: 36497379 PMCID: PMC9739513 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14235888] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2022] [Revised: 11/13/2022] [Accepted: 11/27/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
It remains a challenge to preoperatively forecast whether lung pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) have invasive components. We aimed to construct a radiomic model using tumor characteristics to predict the histologic subtype associated with pGGNs. We retrospectively reviewed clinicopathologic features of pGGNs resected in 338 patients with lung adenocarcinoma between 2011-2016 at a single institution. A radiomic prediction model based on forward sequential selection and logistic regression was constructed to differentiate adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS)/minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) from invasive adenocarcinoma. The study cohort included 133 (39.4%), 128 (37.9%), and 77 (22.8%) patients with AIS, MIA, and invasive adenocarcinoma (acinar 55.8%, lepidic 33.8%, papillary 10.4%), respectively. The majority (83.7%) underwent sublobar resection. There were no nodal metastases or tumor recurrence during a mean follow-up period of 78 months. Three radiomic features-cluster shade, homogeneity, and run-length variance-were identified as predictors of histologic subtype and were selected to construct a prediction model to classify the AIS/MIA and invasive adenocarcinoma groups. The model achieved accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and AUC of 70.6%, 75.0%, 70.0%, and 0.7676, respectively. Applying the developed radiomic feature model to predict the histologic subtypes of pGGNs observed on CT scans can help clinically in the treatment selection process.

Abstract
BackgroundPreoperative two-dimensional manual measurement of pulmonary artery diameter in a single-cut axial view computed tomography (CT) image is a commonly used non-invasive prediction method for pulmonary hypertension. However, the accuracy may be unreliable. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the correlation of short-term surgical outcomes and pulmonary artery/aorta (PA/Ao) diameter ratio measured by automated three-dimensional (3D) segmentation in lung cancer patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy.Materials and methodsWe included 383 consecutive lung cancer patients with thin-slice CT images who underwent lobectomy at a single institute between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2019. Automated 3D segmentation models were used for 3D vascular reconstruction and measurement of the average diameters of Ao and PA. Propensity-score matching incorporating age, Charlson comorbidity index, and lobectomy performed by uniportal VATS was used to compare clinical outcomes in patients with PA/Ao ratio ≥1 and those <1.ResultsOur segmentation method measured 29 (7.57%) patients with a PA/Ao ratio ≥1. After propensity-score matching, a higher overall postoperative complication classified by the Clavien–Dindo classification (p = 0.016) were noted in patients with 3D PA/Ao diameter ratio ≥1 than those of <1. By multivariate logistic regression, patients with a 3D PA/Ao ratio ≥ 1 (p = 0.013) and tumor diameter > 3 cm (p = 0.002) both significantly predict the incidence of postoperative complications.ConclusionsPulmonary artery/aorta diameter ratio ≥ 1 measured by automated 3D segmentation may predict postoperative complications in lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomy.

Abstract
In patients with clinical stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the prediction of occult lymph node metastasis (LNM) based on a combination of morphology using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and metabolism using positron emission tomography (PET)-CT is unknown. The present study evaluated the use of predictive radiological tools, chest CT and PET-CT, for occult LNM in patients with clinical stage I NSCLC. The records of patients who underwent lobectomy between July 2014 and November 2021 were retrospectively reviewed. The differences in clinicopathological parameters, including CT and PET, between the LNM and non-LNM groups were assessed. Pure solid tumor was defined as a consolidation-to-tumor ratio of 1. The optimal cut-off value for predictive radiological tools for LNM was assessed according to the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve. The present study included 288 patients, of whom 39 (13.5%) had LNM; of these 38 (97.4%) were pure solid type. Larger consolidation size (CS), higher maximal standardized uptake (SUVmax) value and histological type were statistically associated with LNM (all P<0.05). The optimal cutoff values of CS and SUVmax for predicting LNM were 19 mm and 5.5 respectively, as assessed using the area under the ROC curve. The combination of CS ≥19 mm and SUVmax ≥5.5 demonstrated a markedly higher odds ratio (9.184; 95% CI, 4.345-19.407) than each parameter individually. The minimum values of CS and SUVmax associated with LNM were 10 mm and 0.8 respectively. Pure solid formation and CS as morphology and SUVmax as metabolism were useful tools that complemented each other in predicting LNM. The combined method of evaluating SUVmax and CS may identify eligibility for LN dissection. However, considering the minimum values of CS and SUVmax in LNM, it cannot affirm the omission of LN dissection for cases that do not meet the combined criteria using HRCT and PET-CT.

Abstract
Background Surgery is the primary treatment option for Lung adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) patients. However, no study compares the benefits of lobectomy and sublobar resection in ASC patients. Methods A total of 1379 patients in the Surveillance, epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and 466 patients in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital (SPH) were enrolled. Survival benefits were evaluated after possible confounders were eliminated by propensity score matching (PSM). Results After 1:3 PSM, 463 SEER database patients and 244 SPH patients were enrolled. Lobectomy was associated with better overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) than sublobar resection for ASC patients (5-year OS of SEER: 46.9% vs. 33.3%, P =0.017; 5-year OS of SPH: 35.0% vs. 16.4%, P =0.002; 5-year DFS of SPH: 29.5% vs. 14.8%, P =0.002). Similar results were observed in stage I patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that sublobar resection was an adverse prognostic factor independently (SEER: HR: 1.40, 95%CI: 1.08-1.81, P =0.012; SPH: HR: 1.73, 95%CI: 1.11-2.70, P =0.015). Subgroup analysis showed that all of the ASC patient subtypes tended to benefit more from lobectomy than sublobar resection. Conclusions Lobectomy remains the primary option for ASC patients compared to sublobar resection, including stage I.

Abstract
Background Clinical decision-making for patients with stage I lung cancer is complex. It involves multiple options [lobectomy, segmentectomy, wedge, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), thermal ablation], weighing multiple outcomes (e.g., short-, intermediate-, long-term) and multiple aspects of each (e.g., magnitude of a difference, the degree of confidence in the evidence, and the applicability to the patient and setting at hand). A structure is needed to summarize the relevant evidence for an individual patient and to identify which outcomes have the greatest impact on the decision-making. Methods A PubMed systematic review from 2000-2021 of outcomes after lobectomy, segmentectomy and wedge resection in older patients, patients with limited pulmonary reserve and favorable tumors is the focus of this paper. Evidence was abstracted from randomized trials and non-randomized comparisons (NRCs) with adjustment for confounders. The analysis involved careful assessment, including characteristics of patients, settings, residual confounding etc. to expose degrees of uncertainty and applicability to individual patients. Evidence is summarized that provides an at-a-glance overall impression as well as the ability to delve into layers of details of the patients, settings and treatments involved. Results In older patients, perioperative mortality is minimally altered by resection extent and only slightly affected by increasing age; sublobar resection may slightly decrease morbidity. Long-term outcomes are worse after lesser resection; the difference is slightly attenuated with increasing age. Reported short-term outcomes are quite acceptable in (selected) patients with severely limited pulmonary reserve, not clearly altered by resection extent but substantially improved by a minimally invasive approach. Quality-of-life (QOL) and impact on pulmonary function hasn't been well studied, but there appears to be little difference by resection extent in older or compromised patients. Patient selection is paramount but not well defined. Ground-glass and screen-detected tumors exhibit favorable long-term outcomes regardless of resection extent; however solid tumors <1 cm are not a reliably favorable group. Conclusions A systematic, comprehensive summary of evidence regarding resection extent in compromised patients and favorable tumors with attention to aspects of applicability, uncertainty and effect modifiers provides a foundation for a framework for individualized decision-making.

Song W, Hou Y, Zhang J, Zhou Q. Comparison of outcomes following lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection based on pathological subtyping in patients with pN0 invasive lung adenocarcinoma ≤1 cm. Cancer Med 2022; 11:4784-4795. [PMID: 35570370 PMCID: PMC9761055 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.4807] [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: 01/06/2022] [Revised: 04/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 02/03/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE We sought to analyze the prognostic significance of lung adenocarcinoma classification for patients with pathological N0 (pN0) lung invasive adenocarcinomas ≤1 cm who underwent surgical resection and investigate the optimal surgical procedure according to lung adenocarcinoma classification. METHODS A total of 1409 consecutive patients with resected pN0 invasive lung adenocarcinoma ≤1 cm were retrospectively reviewed. Comprehensive histologic subtyping was determined according to IASLC/ATS/ERS lung adenocarcinoma classification. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared between patients receiving lobectomy, segmentectomy, and wedge resection. RESULTS RFS and OS favored lobectomy and segmentectomy compared with wedge resection in the entire cohort. Five-year RFS rates were 100%, 98.2%, 97.3%, 77.8%, and 82.8% (p < 0.001) for lepidic, acinar, papillary, micropapillary, and solid predominant subtypes, while 5-year OS rates were 100%, 98.4%, 98.1%, 88.9%, and 96.5% (p < 0.001), respectively. Multivariate analysis showed that adenocarcinoma predominant pathological subtype and CT appearance were independent prognostic factors for RFS, and surgical procedure was independent factor for both RFS and OS. Specifically, wedge resection showed worse survival compared with anatomical resection in patients with papillary, micropapillary, or solid predominant subtypes, whereas in patients with lepidic predominant and acinar predominant subtypes, wedge resection showed comparable RFS with anatomical resection. CONCLUSIONS Anatomical resection showed better survival for patients with pN0 invasive lung adenocarcinoma ≤1 cm. For patients with invasive adenocarcinoma ≤1 cm in whom anatomical resection is not feasible, wedge resection could provide similar oncological effect when tumor is lepidic predominant or acinar predominant.

Automated 3D Segmentation of the Aorta and Pulmonary Artery on Non-Contrast-Enhanced Chest Computed Tomography Images in Lung Cancer Patients. Diagnostics (Basel) 2022; 12:diagnostics12040967. [PMID: 35454015 PMCID: PMC9032785 DOI: 10.3390/diagnostics12040967] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/28/2022] [Revised: 04/07/2022] [Accepted: 04/09/2022] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Pulmonary hypertension should be preoperatively evaluated for optimal surgical planning to reduce surgical risk in lung cancer patients. Preoperative measurement of vascular diameter in computed tomography (CT) images is a noninvasive prediction method for pulmonary hypertension. However, the current estimation method, 2D manual arterial diameter measurement, may yield inaccurate results owing to low tissue contrast in non-contrast-enhanced CT (NECT). Furthermore, it provides an incomplete evaluation by measuring only the diameter of the arteries rather than the volume. To provide a more complete and accurate estimation, this study proposed a novel two-stage deep learning (DL) model for 3D aortic and pulmonary artery segmentation in NECT. In the first stage, a DL model was constructed to enhance the contrast of NECT; in the second stage, two DL models then applied the enhanced images for aorta and pulmonary artery segmentation. Overall, 179 patients were divided into contrast enhancement model (n = 59), segmentation model (n = 120), and testing (n = 20) groups. The performance of the proposed model was evaluated using Dice similarity coefficient (DSC). The proposed model could achieve 0.97 ± 0.007 and 0.93 ± 0.002 DSC for aortic and pulmonary artery segmentation, respectively. The proposed model may provide 3D diameter information of the arteries before surgery, facilitating the estimation of pulmonary hypertension and supporting preoperative surgical method selection based on the predicted surgical risks.

Abstract
Nodal upstaging of lung adenocarcinoma occurs when unexpected pathological lymph node metastasis is found after surgical intervention, and may be associated with a worse prognosis. In this study, we aimed to determine the predictive factors of nodal upstaging in cT1a-bN0M0 primary lung adenocarcinoma. We retrospectively reviewed a prospective database (January 2011 to May 2017) at National Taiwan University Hospital and identified patients with cT1a-bN0M0 (solid part tumor diameter ≤ 2 cm) lung adenocarcinoma who underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic lobectomy. Logistic regression models and survival analysis were used to examine and compare the predictive factors of nodal upstaging. A total of 352 patients were included. Among them, 28 (7.8%) patients had nodal upstaging. Abnormal preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels, solid part tumor diameter ≥ 1.3 cm, and consolidation-tumor (C/T) ratio ≥ 0.50 on chest computed tomography (CT) were significant predictive factors associated with nodal upstaging, and patients with nodal upstaging tended to have worse survival. Standard lobectomy is recommended for patients with these predictive factors. If neither of the predictive factors are positive, a less invasive procedure may be a reasonable alternative. Further studies are needed to verify these data.

Abstract
Background We investigated whether adjuvant chemotherapy, extent of resection, and immunoistochemical neuroendocrine markers affected survival of patients with the early stage of large‐cell neuroendocrine cancer. Methods This was a retrospective multicenter study including consecutive patients undergoing resection of node negative large‐cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. Five‐year survival and disease‐free survival rate were evaluated by the Kaplan–Meier method and the log‐rank test in relation to adjuvant chemotherapy, extent of resection, and immunoistochemical neuroendocrine markers (synaptophysin, chromogranin A, and neuron‐specific enolase). Results Our study population included 117 patients; 47 (40%) of these received adjuvant chemotherapy. Patients treated with adjuvant chemotherapy had better survival (74% vs. 45%, p = 0.002) and disease‐free survival (79% vs. 40%, p = 0.001) in all cases except patients with tumor <20 mm (79.5% vs. 57.4%, p = 0.43). Lobectomy compared to sublobar resection was associated with better survival (67% vs. 0.1%, p < 0.0001) and disease‐free survival (65% vs. 0.1%, p < 0.0001) also in patients with tumor <20 mm (79% vs. 28%, p = 0.001). Patients with triple‐positive neuroendocrine markers had better survival (79% vs. 35%, p = 0.0001) and disease‐free survival (69% vs. 42%, p = 0.0008). Regression analysis showed that tumor size <20 mm, lobectomy, adjuvant chemotherapy, and triple‐positive immunistochemical neuroendocrine markers were significant favorable prognostic factors for survival outcomes. Conclusions Lobectomy seems to be the management of choice in patients with large‐cell neuroendocrine cancer <20 mm while adjuvant chemotherapy should be administered only in patients with tumor >20 mm.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent years have seen an increase in the number of studies of the sublobar resection approach in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) surgery. The purpose of this bibliometric analysis is to assess the significance and impact of articles comparing sublobar resection and lobectomy in NSCLC surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS The Web of Science database was searched to identify studies comparing sublobar resection and lobectomy in NSCLC surgery published between 2005 and 2020 (accessed: September 11, 2020). The 50 most cited articles were analyzed by years, countries, authors, authors' affiliations, journals, journals' addresses, and impact factors. RESULTS The bibliometric analysis revealed that the most cited article had 443 citations, while the total number of citations of all articles was 2,820. The mean number of citations, in turn, was 56.4 ± 75.62 (1-443) times. The highest number of publications over the past 15 years was in 2016, with eight articles. The Annals of Thoracic Surgery (n = 10; 20%) had the highest number of publications on the list. The articles included in the present study were mostly (n = 35, 70%) published in U.S. journals. While multiple subject matters and analyses were presented by many studies, survival was the topic of greatest interest, with 37 (74%) studies. CONCLUSION This study revealed that interest in studies comparing sublobar resection with lobectomy has increased in recent years. It also presents both quantitative and qualitative analyses of the most cited articles in the literature on this topic. Therefore, it can serve as a guide for researchers.

Abstract
Objectives The choice of resection method for geriatric patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains contentious. This study aimed to evaluate survival and perioperative outcomes after thoracoscopic lobectomy resection (LR) or sublobar resection (SR) in patients aged ≥75 years with pathologic stage (pStage) I NSCLC. Materials and Methods We retrospectively examined 258 consecutive patients aged ≥75 years with pStage I NSCLC who underwent thoracoscopic tumor resection at our institute from 2011 to 2018. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis identified 60 patients in each group for comparison of survival-related parameters, including disease-free survival (DFS), lung cancer-specific overall survival (OS), and non-lung cancer-specific OS, using the Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results LR and SR were performed in 84 (32.6%) and 174 (67.4%) patients aged ≥75 years, respectively. The LR group had younger patients, better performance status, larger tumor sizes, and deeper tumor location than the SR group. Multivariate studies showed that the resection method was not a prognostic factor for OS. The two PSM-matched groups were not significantly different with respect to lung cancer-specific OS (p = 0.116), non-lung cancer-specific OS (p = 0.408), and DFS (p = 0.597). SR helped achieve better perioperative outcomes than LR, including fewer postoperative complications (10.0% vs. 28.3%, p = 0.011), shorter operative times (p < 0.001), decreased blood loss (p = 0.026), and shorter chest tube duration (p = 0.010) and hospital stays (p = 0.035). Conclusions Thoracoscopic SR may provide similar oncological outcomes to LR, but may be a safer and more feasible surgical method for geriatric patients with pStage I NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to establish a radiomic prediction model for tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) in lung adenocarcinoma using radiomic values from high-grade subtypes (solid and micropapillary). METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 327 patients with lung adenocarcinoma from two institutes (Cohort 1: 227 patients; Cohort 2: 100 patients) between March 2017 and March 2019. STAS was identified in 113 (34.6%) patients. A high-grade likelihood prediction model was constructed based on a historical cohort of 82 patients with "near-pure" pathological subtype. The STAS prediction model based on the patch-wise mechanism identified the high-grade likelihood area for each voxel within the internal border of the tumor. STAS presence was indirectly predicted by a volume percentage threshold of the high-grade likelihood area. Performance was evaluated by receiver operating curve analysis with 10-repetition, 3-fold cross-validation in Cohort 1, and was individually tested in Cohort 2. RESULTS Overall, 227 patients (STAS-positive: 77 [33.9%]) were enrolled for cross-validation (Cohort 1) while 100 (STAS-positive: 36 [36.0%]) underwent individual testing (Cohort 2). The gray level co-occurrence matrix (variance) and histogram (75th percentile) features were selected to construct the high-grade likelihood prediction model, which was used as the STAS prediction model. The proposed model achieved good performance in Cohort 1 with an area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity, of 81.44%, 86.75%, and 62.60%, respectively, and correspondingly, in Cohort 2, they were 83.16%, 83.33%, and 63.90%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The proposed computed tomography-based radiomic prediction model could help guide preoperative prediction of STAS in early-stage lung adenocarcinoma and relevant surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The choice between wedge resection and segmentectomy as a sublobar resection method for patients with cT1N0 lung cancer remains debatable. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes after wedge resection and segmentectomy for patients with cT1N0 lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS The study enrolled 1002 consecutive patients with cT1N0 lung adenocarcinoma who underwent sublobar resection at the authors' institution between 2011 and 2017. A propensity score-matching analysis was used to compared the clinical outcomes between the wedge resection and segmentectomy groups. RESULTS Wedge resection was performed for 810 patients (80.8%), and segmentectomy was performed for 192 patients (19.2%). Wedge resection resulted in better perioperative outcomes than segmentectomy. The multivariate analysis showed that the significant risk factors for poor disease-free survival (DFS) were elevated preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen levels, total tumor diameter greater than 2 cm, and a consolidation-to-tumor (C/T) ratio higher than 50%. After propensity-matching, no differences in overall survival or DFS were noted between the two matched groups. However, subgroup analysis showed that segmentectomy was associated with better DFS than wedge resection (p = 0.039) for the patients with a tumor diameter greater than 2 cm and a C/T ratio higher than 50%. CONCLUSION Segmentectomy is the appropriate surgical method for sublobar resection in cT1N0 lung adenocarcinoma patients with a tumor diameter greater than 2 cm and a C/T ratio higher than 50%. Wedge resection may be a safe and feasible sublobar resection method for patients with a tumor diameter of 2 cm or smaller or a C/T ratio of 50% or lower.

Transl Lung Cancer Res 2021; 10:2487-2499.

Abstract
Background Indication for sublobar resections in early-stage lung adenocarcinomas has been controversial. The purpose of this study was to find appropriate selection criteria for sublobar resections in ground glass opacity (GGO)-containing early-stage lung adenocarcinomas. Methods We retrospectively studied 985 consecutive patients with clinical stage IA, peripheral GGO-containing lung adenocarcinomas ≤3 cm in size. According to their radiological appearance, they were divided into a pure GGO group and a part-solid nodule (PSN) group. The PSN group was further divided into a GGO-predominant subgroup and a solid-predominant subgroup. Propensity-score matching (PSM) was conducted first in PSNs with similar total lesion size and then in those with similar solid component size to eliminate potential confounders. Histological characteristics and prognosis were compared between matched patients to investigate the prognostic value of total lesion size and solid component size. Then solid component size was chosen as the selection criterion to compare the prognosis of patients receiving lobectomy or sublobar resections. Results Comparing to PSNs, pure GGO lesions had significantly more favorable histological characteristics and prognosis, with 100% 5-year overall survival (OS), even though 33.3% of patients with pure GGO lesions >20 mm in total lesion size received sublobar resections. For 157 pairs of PSNs with similar total lesion size but different solid component size after the first PSM, the solid-predominant subgroup had significantly worse histological characteristics and prognosis than the GGO-predominant subgroup. After the second PSM, histological characteristics and prognosis were comparable between 73 pairs of PSNs with similar solid component size but different total lesion size. Multivariable analysis showed that solid component size, rather than total lesion size or consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR), was an independent prognostic factor. For PSNs containing solid component size ≤2 cm, relapse-free survival (RFS) was similar after sublobar resections or lobectomy (95.0% vs. 93.6%, P=0.592). The results remained similar for PSNs of total lesion size >2 cm but solid component size ≤2 cm (88.9% vs. 90.0%, P=0.893). Conclusions Solid component size better predicts histological characteristics and prognosis than total lesion size in early-stage GGO-containing lung adenocarcinomas. Instead of total lesion size, solid component size ≤2 cm may be a more appropriate selection criterion for sublobar resections in such patients.

Abstract
Various radiological tools can predict the prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we evaluated the prognostic effect of different radiological tools such as whole tumor size (WTS), consolidation size (CS), consolidation tumor ratio (CTR), tumor disappearance ratio (TDR), mediastinal diameter (MD), and ground glass opacity (GGO) using high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT). We reviewed recent retrospective studies on the predictive effect of these radiological tools on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with T1N0-staged NSCLC. We searched PubMed and the British Library databases for the English literature published from January 2010 to December 2020 and generated a total of 32 publications (NSCLC, n=16; adenocarcinoma, n=16). The TNM classification version 7 was used in 18 studies, and version 8 in 14 studies. The evaluated radiological parameters were WTS, CS including T category, CTR, TDR, MD, presence of GGO, GGO ratio, and pure GGO. This review suggested that CS, MD, and the presence of GGO are optimal prognostic radiological tools for cT1N0-Staged NSCLC. CTR or TDR for part solid nodules (PSNs) is not a well-accepted prognostic factor. Further investigations are required to differentiate between benign scars and malignant components on HRCT and evaluate the prognosis of PSNs (1< CS ≤2 cm) with large WTS in the future.

Nonintubated Versus Intubated Uniportal Thoracoscopic Segmentectomy for Lung Tumors. Ann Thorac Surg 2020; 111:1182-1189. [PMID: 32857994 DOI: 10.1016/j.athoracsur.2020.06.058] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2020] [Revised: 05/20/2020] [Accepted: 06/15/2020] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the use of the uniportal thoracoscopic technique has spread exponentially recently, a comparison of nonintubated and intubated uniportal thoracoscopic segmentectomies for lung tumors has not been reported. We aimed to compare the feasibility, safety, and short-term postoperative outcomes between the 2 methods. METHODS From January 2014 to June 2019 we retrospectively reviewed 185 consecutive patients with lung tumors who underwent uniportal thoracoscopic segmentectomy at our institute. A body mass index of ≥25 kg/m2 was considered a contraindication for the nonintubated anesthetic approach. For the remaining cases the anesthetic approach was made at the discretion of each individual anesthesiologist. A propensity-matched analysis incorporating sex and body mass index was used to compare the clinical outcomes of the nonintubated and intubated groups. RESULTS Fifty patients (27.0%) underwent the procedure with the nonintubated anesthetic approach. The nonintubated group was more likely to be female (P < .001) and with a lower body mass index (P < .001). Other clinical features showed no significant difference. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in the type of segmentectomy according to the difficulty classification system. After propensity matching 43 matched patients in each group were included. Anesthetic induction duration (12.0 vs 15.3 minutes, P = .014) was shorter in the nonintubated group. No other significant differences in perioperative, postoperative, and anesthetic results were noted between the 2 matched groups. CONCLUSIONS The nonintubated anesthetic approach can be a safe and feasible alternative to intubated uniportal thoracoscopic segmentectomy.

Abstract
Background Lymphadenectomy is an important part of surgical treatment for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the prognostic impact of lymph node (LN) dissection for patients with NSCLC ≤1 and >1 to 2 cm who underwent sublobar resection is still unclear. Methods A group of patients numbering 7,627 with NSCLC 2 cm or less who underwent sublobar resection were identified from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between January 2010 and November 2015. The overall survival (OS) and lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) were evaluated among patients who had undergone dissection of ≥4 LNs, 1 to 3 LNs or who had no-LN dissection; log-rank and Cox proportional-hazards regression analyses were used for the evaluation. Results Patients with NSCLC ≤2 cm who underwent ≥4 LNs dissection had better OS and LCSS compared with those who underwent dissection of 1 to 3 LNs or who had no-LN dissection after sublobar resection. Subgroup analysis showed that dissection of ≥4 LNs had better OS and LCSS than those of 1 to 3 LNs dissection in NSCLC >1 to 2 cm, whereas had similar OS and LCSS in NSCLC ≤1 cm. Multivariate Cox analysis showed that dissection of 1 to 3 LNs was not an independent risk factor of OS and LCSS than dissection of ≥4 LNs in NSCLC ≤1 cm after sublobar resection. Conclusions The extent of LN dissection is associated with the survival outcomes in patients with NSCLC ≤2 cm after sublobar resection. Dissection of ≥4 LNs should be recommended for NSCLC >1 to 2 cm, whereas surgeons can rely on surgical skills and patient profiles to decide ≥4 LNs or 1 to 3 LNs dissection for NSCLC ≤1 cm during sublobar resection.

Abstract
Here, we describe a novel method using microwave ablation (MWA) guided by electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) and video‐assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) for simultaneous treatment of multiple high‐risk pulmonary nodules in a 47‐year‐old woman. After the ENB registration process, the operator delivered the locatable electromagnetic probe to the target in the right upper lobe following the navigational route. MWA was performed after an antenna was passed into the lesion through the working channel. The wedge resection of the left upper lobe and lower lobe and the lingual segment resection were performed by VATS. The pathological diagnoses was adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) of the right upper lobe lesion, AIS of the left upper lobe, minimally invasive adenocarcinoma of the left lower lobe lesion and chronic inflammation of the lingular segment. MWA guided by ENB combined with VATS is an alternative treatment strategy to deal with multiple pulmonary nodules at the same stage of the operation.
