Jing W, Li Q, Liu M, Zhang Y, Chen S, Zhang K, Li D, Zhao M, Zheng Y, Li W, Wu Y, Xu H, Zhao Z, Kang S, Lv F. CTR > 0.7 predicts the subgroup of lung adenocarcinomas ≤ 2 cm at risk of poor outcome treated by sublobar resection compared to lobar resection. Cancer Imaging 2024; 24:76. [PMID: 38886780 PMCID: PMC11181521 DOI: 10.1186/s40644-024-00717-4] [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: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/20/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND A standard surgical procedure for patients with small early-stage lung adenocarcinomas remains unknown. Hence, we aim in this study to assess the clinical utility of the consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR) when treating patients with small (2 cm) early stage lung cancers. METHODS A retrospective cohort of 298 sublobar resection and 266 lobar resection recipients for early stage lung adenocarcinoma ≤ 2 cm was assembled from the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University between 2016 and 2019. To compare survival rates among the different groups, Kaplan-Meier curves were calculated, and the log-rank test was used. A multivariate Cox proportional hazard model was constructed utilizing variables that were significant in univariate analysis of survival. RESULTS In the study, 564 patients were included, with 298 patients (52.8%) undergoing sublobar resection and 266 patients (47.2%) undergoing lobar resection. Regarding survival results, there was no significant difference in the 5-year overall survival (OS, P = 0.674) and 5-year recurrence-free survival (RFS, P = 0.253) between the two groups. Cox regression analyses showed that CTR ≥ 0.75(P < 0.001), age > 56 years (P = 0.007), and sublobar resection(P = 0.001) could predict worse survival. After examining survival results based on CTR categorization, we segmented the individuals into three categories: CTR<0.7, 0.7 ≤ CTR<1, and CTR = 1.The lobar resection groups had more favorable clinical outcomes than the sublobar resection groups in both the 0.7 ≤ CTR < 1(RFS: P < 0.001, OS: P = 0.001) and CTR = 1(RFS: P = 0.001, OS: P = 0.125). However, for patients with 0 ≤ CTR < 0.7, no difference in either RFS or OS was found between the lobar resection and sublobar resection groups, all of which had no positive events. Patients with a CTR between 0.7 and 1 who underwent lobar resection had similar 5-year RFS and OS rates compared to those with a CTR between 0 and 0.7 who underwent sublobar resection (100% vs. 100%). Nevertheless, a CTR of 1 following lobar resection resulted in notably reduced RFS and OS when compared to a CTR between 0.7 and 1 following lobar resection (P = 0.005 and P = 0.016, respectively). CONCLUSION Lobar resection is associated with better long-term survival outcomes than sublobar resection for small lung adenocarcinomas ≤ 2 cm and CTR ≥ 0.7.

Gen Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2024:10.1007/s11748-024-02044-8. [PMID: 38801566 DOI: 10.1007/s11748-024-02044-8] [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: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/18/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies reported that the cribriform pattern (CP) was associated with poor prognosis in lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) patients; therefore, a meta-analysis was performed to thoroughly evaluate the prognostic impact of cribriform pattern in postoperative ADC patients. METHODS Eligible studies were retrieved from PubMed, Embase databases, and Web of Science until April 2023. Studies evaluating the effect of the cribriform pattern on the prognosis of postoperative ADC patients were included. Subsequently, subgroup analysis was conducted according to the proportion of the cribriform pattern, with disease-free survival (DFS) and/or overall survival (OS) as outcomes. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were used as effect estimates in the meta-analyses, which were performed with a random-effects model despite the heterogeneity. RESULTS Nine studies published between 2015 and 2022 were included, with 4,289 ADC patients in total. The pooled results revealed a significantly poorer DFS (HR1.56, 95%CI 1.18-2.06, P = 0.11, I2 = 45%) and OS (HR2.11, 95%CI 1.63-2.72, P = 0.01, I2 = 56%) in patients with the cribriform pattern. Furthermore, the subgroup analysis showed that patients with a cribriform pattern (DFS: HR1.32, 95% CI 1.04-1.68 OS:HR2.30, 95% CI 1.55-3.39) and patients with a predominantly cribriform pattern (DFS:HR2.04, 95% CI 1.32--3.15 OS: HR1.92, 95% CI 1.41-2.61) were associated with poor prognosis. CONCLUSIONS The presence of a cribriform pattern is related to poor prognosis in postoperative ADC patients, despite not being a main tumor component. However, the results should be confirmed by large-scale and prospective studies owing to the small sample and potential heterogeneity.

Cancer Med 2024; 13:e7030. [PMID: 38400663 PMCID: PMC10891450 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.7030] [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: 10/18/2023] [Revised: 01/19/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The usefulness of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma with micropapillary (MIP) components remains unclear. We analyzed whether postoperative ACT could reduce recurrence in patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma with MIP components, thereby improving their overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). METHODS Data for patients with pathologically confirmed stage I lung adenocarcinoma with MIP components from January 2012 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. OS and DFS were analyzed in groups and subgroups. RESULTS Overall, 259 patients were enrolled. Patients who received ACT in stage IA showed significantly better survival than did those with no-adjuvant chemotherapy (NACT); (5-year OS 89.4% vs. 73.6%, p < 0.001; 5-year DFS 87.2% vs. 66.0%, p = 0.008). A difference was also observed for in-stage IB patients (5-year OS 82.0% vs. 51.8%, p = 0.001; 5-year DFS 76.0% vs. 41.11 %, p = 0.004). In subgroup analysis based on the proportion of MIP components, patients with 1%-5% MIP components had a significantly better prognosis in the ACT group than in the NACT group (5-year OS 82.4% vs. 66.0%, p = 0.005; 5-year DFS 76.5% vs. 49.1%, p = 0.032). A similar difference was observed for patients with MIP ≥5% (5-year OS 80.7% vs. 47.8%, p = 0.009; 5-year DFS 73.11% vs. 43.5%, p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Among patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma with MIP components, those who received ACT showed significant survival benefits compared to those without ACT. Patients with lung adenocarcinoma with MIP components could benefit from ACT when the MIP was ≥1%.

Prognostic significance and survival benefits of postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with stage IA lung adenocarcinoma with non-predominant micropapillary components. World J Surg Oncol 2024; 22:32. [PMID: 38273367 PMCID: PMC10809442 DOI: 10.1186/s12957-024-03303-x] [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: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/13/2024] [Indexed: 01/27/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognostic significance of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for patients with stage IA micropapillary non-predominant (MPNP) lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unknown. This study aimed to investigate the effects of postoperative ACT in patients with stage IA MPNP-LUAD. METHODS A total of 149 patients with pathological stage IA MPNP-LUAD who underwent surgery at our center were retrospectively analyzed. Propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was conducted to reduce potential selection bias. Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to assess the impact of ACT on recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and disease-specific survival (DSS). Subgroup analyses were performed for the survival outcomes based on the percentage of micropapillary components. Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were applied to identify risk factors associated with survival. RESULTS The receipt or non-receipt of postoperative ACT had no significant effect on RFS, OS, and DSS among all enrolled patients with stage IA MPNP-LUAD (P > 0.05). For patients with a micropapillary component > 5%, the 5-year rates of RFS, OS, and DSS were significantly higher in the ACT group compared to the observation group, both before and after PSM (P < 0.05). However, the differences between the two groups were not significant for patients with a micropapillary component ≤ 5% (P > 0.05). The resection range (HR = 0.071; 95% CI: 0.020-0.251; P < 0.001), tumor size (HR = 2.929; 95% CI: 1.171-7.330; P = 0.022), and ACT (HR = 0.122; 95% CI: 0.037-0.403; P = 0.001) were identified as independent prognostic factors for RFS through Cox regression analysis. CONCLUSION Patients with stage IA MPNP-LUAD who have a micropapillary component greater than 5% might benefit from postoperative ACT, while those with a micropapillary component ≤ 5% did not appear to derive the same benefit from postoperative ACT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aim to molecularly stratify stage IA lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) for precision medicine. METHODS Twelve multi-institution datasets (837 cases of IA) were used to classify the high- and low-risk types (based on survival status within 5 years), and the biological differences were compared. Then, a gene-based classifying score (IA score) was trained, tested and validated by several machine learning methods. Furthermore, we estimated the significance of the IA score in the prognostic assessment, chemotherapy prediction and risk stratification of stage IA LUAD. We also developed an R package for the clinical application. The SEER database (15708 IA samples) and TCGA Pan-Cancer (1881 stage I samples) database were used to verify clinical significance. RESULTS Compared with the low-risk group, the high-risk group of stage IA LUAD has obvious enrichment of the malignant pathway and more driver mutations and copy number variations. The effect of the IA score on the classification of high- and low-risk stage IA LUAD was much better than that of classical clinicopathological factors (training set: AUC = 0.9, validation set: AUC = 0.7). The IA score can significantly predict the prognosis of stage IA LUAD and has a prognostic effect for stage I pancancer. The IA score can effectively predict chemotherapy sensitivity and occult metastasis or invasion in stage IA LUAD. The R package IAExpSuv has a good risk probability prediction effect for both groups and single stages of IA LUAD. CONCLUSIONS The IA score can effectively stratify the risk of stage IA LUAD, offering good assistance in precision medicine.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Invasive lung adenocarcinoma with MPP/SOL components has a poor prognosis and often shows a tendency to recurrence and metastasis. This poor prognosis may require adjustment of treatment strategies. Preoperative identification is essential for decision-making for subsequent treatment. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to preoperatively predict the probability of MPP/SOL components in lung adenocarcinomas by a comprehensive model that includes radiomics features, clinical characteristics, and serum tumor biomarkers. DESIGN A retrospective case control, diagnostic accuracy study. METHODS This study retrospectively recruited 273 patients (males: females, 130: 143; mean age ± standard deviation, 63.29 ± 10.03 years; range 21-83 years) who underwent resection of invasive lung adenocarcinoma. Sixty-one patients (22.3%) were diagnosed with lung adenocarcinoma with MPP/SOL components. Radiomic features were extracted from CT before surgery. Clinical, radiomic, and combined models were developed using the logistic regression algorithm. The clinical and radiomic signatures were integrated into a nomogram. The diagnostic performance of the models was evaluated using the area under the curve (AUC). Studies were scored according to the Radiomics Quality Score and Transparent Reporting of a Multivariable Prediction Model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis guidelines. RESULTS The radiomics model achieved the best AUC values of 0.858 and 0.822 in the training and test cohort, respectively. Tumor size (T_size), solid tumor size (ST_size), consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR), years of smoking, CYFRA 21-1, and squamous cell carcinoma antigen were used to construct the clinical model. The clinical model achieved AUC values of 0.741 and 0.705 in the training and test cohort, respectively. The nomogram showed higher AUCs of 0.894 and 0.843 in the training and test cohort, respectively. CONCLUSION This study has developed and validated a combined nomogram, a visual tool that integrates CT radiomics features with clinical indicators and serum tumor biomarkers. This innovative model facilitates the differentiation of micropapillary or solid components within lung adenocarcinoma and achieves a higher AUC, indicating superior predictive accuracy.

Micropapillary and solid components as high-grade patterns in IASLC grading system of lung adenocarcinoma: Clinical implications and management. Lung Cancer 2024; 187:107445. [PMID: 38157805 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2023.107445] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 11/18/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The grading system proposed by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer is based on a combination of predominant histologic subtypes and the proportion of high-grade components with a cutoff of 20%. We aimed to examine the clinical implications of the grading system beyond the discrimination of patient prognosis, while assessing the biological differences among high-grade subtypes. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 648 consecutive patients with resected lung adenocarcinomas and examined their clinicopathologic, genotypic, and immunophenotypic features and treatment outcomes. Besides the differences among grades, the clinical impact of different high-grade components: micropapillary (MIP) and solid (SOL) patterns, was individually evaluated. RESULTS Survival outcomes were well-stratified according to the grading system. Grade 3 tumors exhibited aggressive clinicopathologic features, while being an independent prognostic factor in multivariable analysis. A small proportion (<20 %) of high-grade components in grade 2 had a negative prognostic impact. The prognostic difference bordering on the 20 % cutoff of the MIP proportion was validated; however, the proportion of SOL component did not affect prognosis. A survival benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy was observed in grade 3 tumors regardless of histologic subtype, but not in grade 1-2 tumors. The molecular and immunophenotypic features were different among grades, but still heterogeneous in grade 3, with MIP harboring frequent EGFR mutation and SOL exhibiting high PD-L1 expression. The treatment outcome after recurrence was worse in grade 3, but tumors with MIP pattern had an equivalent prognosis to that of grade 1-2 tumors, reflecting the high frequency of molecular targeted therapy. CONCLUSIONS In addition to stratifying patient prognosis, the current grading system could discriminate clinical course, therapeutic effects of adjuvant chemotherapy, and molecular and immunophenotypic features. Further stratification based on biological heterogeneity in grade 3 remains necessary to enhance the role of the grading system in guiding patient management.

[PMID: 36736075 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2023.01.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2022] [Revised: 12/04/2022] [Accepted: 01/16/2023] [Indexed: 01/20/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) is a unique mechanism of lung cancer metastasis; however, its clinical value for stage I lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) remains unclear at present. We investigated the (1) prognosis of patients after sublobar resection compared with lobectomy for stage I lung adenocarcinoma with STAS; and (2) potential benefits of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) for patients with stage I ADC and STAS. METHODS A total of 3328 consecutive patients with stage I ADC were retrospectively identified between 2014 and 2018 at our institution; among them, 600 were diagnosed with STAS. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to evaluate the impact of STAS on overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). RESULTS Among stage IA patients with STAS, there was no significant difference between those who underwent sublobar resection and lobectomy in OS (P = 0.919) and RFS (P = 0.066). Multivariate analysis confirmed this result (sublobar resection versus lobectomy, OS: HR = 0.523, 95 % CI, 0.056-18.458, P = 0.714; RFS, HR = 0.360, 95 % CI, 0.115-1.565, P = 0.897). ACT did not improve the prognosis of stage IA patients but did improve the RFS of stage IB patients with high-risk recurrence factors, including poorly differentiated tumors, lymphovascular invasion and visceral pleural invasion (P = 0.046). CONCLUSIONS Sublobar and lobectomy resection provided a comparable prognosis for stage IA ADC patients with STAS. When STAS was confirmed postoperatively, ACT should be considered for patients with stage IB with high-risk recurrence factors but not for those with stage IA disease.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES Lung adenocarcinomas (LADC) containing high-grade subtypes have a poorer prognosis. And some studies have shown that high-grade subtypes have been identified as an independent predictor of local recurrence in patients treated with limited resection. The aim of this study was to construct a combined model based on radiomic features, imaging characteristics and serum tumor biomarkers to predict the possibility of preoperative high-grade subtypes. MATERIALS AND METHODS 156 patients with LADC were retrospectively recruited in this study. These patients were randomly divided into training and validation cohorts. Radiomics features and imaging characteristics were extracted from plain CT images. A nomogram was developed in a training cohort by univariate and multivariate logistic analysis, and its performance was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) in the training and validation cohorts. RESULTS A total of 1316 radiomic features were extracted from the lesions in plain chest CT images. After applying the mRMR algorithm and the LASSO regression, 4 features were retained. Based on these radiomic features, Radiomic score (Radscore) was calculated for each patient. Spiculation, air bronchogram sign, CYFRA 21-1 and Radscore had been used in the construction of the combined model. The AUC of the combined model was respectively 0.88 (95% CI, 0.82-0.95) and 0.94 (95% CI, 0.86-1.00) in the training and validation cohorts. CONCLUSION The combined model based on CT images and serum tumor biomarkers, can predict the high-grade subtypes of LADC in a non-invasive manner, which may influence individual treatment planning, such as the choice of surgical approach and postoperative adjuvant therapy.

Development and Validation of a Nomogram for Predicting the 1-, 3-, and 5-year Survival in Patients with Acinar-predominant Lung Adenocarcinoma. Curr Med Sci 2022; 42:1178-1185. [PMID: 36542324 DOI: 10.1007/s11596-022-2672-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/23/2021] [Accepted: 11/02/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict the overall survival (OS) of patients with acinar-predominant adenocarcinoma (APA). METHODS Data from patients with APA obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2008 and 2016 were used. Significant prognostic factors were incorporated to construct a nomogram for predicting the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS in these patients. The discrimination and calibration abilities of the nomogram were assessed using a C-index and calibration curves, respectively. RESULTS A total of 2242 patients with APA were randomly divided into a training cohort (n=1576) and validation cohort (n=666). The independent prognostic factors for OS incorporated into the nomogram included marital status, age, gender, differentiation grade, T stage, N stage, and M stage. The nomogram showed good prediction capability, as indicated by the C-index [0.713, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.705-0.721 in the training cohort, and 0.662, 95% CI: 0.649-0.775 in the validation cohort]. The calibration curves demonstrated that the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS probabilities were consistent between the observed and predicted outcome frequencies. Patients were divided into the high-risk and low-risk groups with the former showing significantly worse survival than the latter (P<0.001). CONCLUSION Using the SEER database, a nomogram was established to predict the 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS of patients with APA and was superior to the tumor size, lymph node, and metastasis staging system in terms of evaluating long-term prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lung adenocarcinoma (LA) with a micropapillary component (LAMPC) is a histological subtype of lung cancer that has received increasing attention due to its correlation with poor prognosis, and its tendency to recur and metastasize. At present, comprehensive genomic profiles and clinicopathological features for LAMPC remain unclear and require further investigation. METHODS From September 2009 to October 2020, a total of 465 LAMPC patients were recruited and divided into four groups according to MPC proportions, and the correlations between varying proportions of MPCs and clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. Twenty-nine (29) LAMPC patients and 89 LA patients without MPC (non-MPC) that had undergone NGS testing were selected for further study The comprehensively analyze genomic variations and the difference between LAMPC and MPC were determined. In addition, Gene alterations of LAMPC between Chinese and Western populations were also compared using cBioPortal data. RESULTS A higher proportion of MPCs, associated with higher tumor stage, pleural invasion, and vascular tumor thrombus formation, was determined in LA patients. Compared to non-MPC patients, LAMPC patients were determined to have a lower frequency of single nucleotide variants and a higher frequency of insertion-deletion mutations. Mutations in TP53, CTNNB1, and SMAD4, and ALK rearrangements/fusions were significantly more frequent in LAMPC patients. ERBB2 mutations were only detected in non-MPC patients. Gene mutations in the Wnt pathway were significantly more common in LAMPC patients as compared to non-MPC patients. ALK fusions were more prevalent in younger patients. Patients with KRAS or LBP1B mutations had significantly larger tumor diameters than patients with wild-type KRAS or LBP1B. Patients with KRAS mutations were more likely to develop vascular tumor thrombus. Using the cBioPortal public database, we determined that mutations in EGFR were significantly higher in Chinese patients than in a Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) Western cohort. ALK fusions were exclusively detected in the Chinese cohort, while mutations in KEAP1 and NOTCH4 were only detected in the MSKCC cohort. Our analysis of signaling pathways revealed that Wnt pathway gene mutations were significantly higher in the Chinese cohort. CONCLUSION LA patients with higher proportions of MPCs were determined to have a higher tumor stage, pleural invasion, and vascular tumor thrombosis formation. We comprehensively analyzed the genomic mutation characteristics of LAMPC patients and identified multiple, novel MPC-related gene alterations and pathway changes. Our data provide further understanding of the nature of the LAMPC and potential drug-targeted gene alterations, which may lead to new therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Objective The presence of micropapillary and solid adenocarcinoma patterns leads to a worse survival and a significantly higher tendency to recur. This study aims to assess the impact of pT descriptor combined with the presence of high-grade components on long-term outcomes in early-stage lung adenocarcinomas. Methods We retrospectively collected data of consecutive resected pT1-T3N0 lung adenocarcinoma from nine European Thoracic Centers. All patients who underwent a radical resection with lymph-node dissection between 2014 and 2017 were included. Differences in Overall Survival (OS) and Disease-Free Survival (DFS) and possible prognostic factors associated with outcomes were evaluated also after performing a propensity score matching to compare tumors containing non-high-grade and high-grade patterns. Results Among 607 patients, the majority were male and received a lobectomy. At least one high-grade histological pattern was seen in 230 cases (37.9%), of which 169 solid and 75 micropapillary. T1a-b-c without high-grade pattern had a significant better prognosis compared to T1a-b-c with high-grade pattern (p = 0.020), but the latter had similar OS compared to T2a (p = 0.277). Concurrently, T1a-b-c without micropapillary or solid patterns had a significantly better DFS compared to those with high-grade patterns (p = 0.034), and it was similar to T2a (p = 0.839). Multivariable analysis confirms the role of T descriptor according to high-grade pattern both for OS (p = 0.024; HR 1.285 95% CI 1.033–1.599) and DFS (p = 0.003; HR 1.196, 95% CI 1.054–1.344, respectively). These results were confirmed after the propensity score matching analysis. Conclusions pT1 lung adenocarcinomas with a high-grade component have similar prognosis of pT2a tumors.

Abstract
The survival rate needs to be improved in early stage non-small cell lung cancer patients. The risk of recurrence is relatively high in invasive adenocarcinoma patients with a solid or micropapillary component, lymphovascular invasion or tumor spread through air spaces. Systemic treatment options including radical surgical resection should be explored for this population. Adjuvant chemotherapy is not recommended for patients in stage IA in current guidelines. This article is a review on the research progress of the above pathological high-risk factors and the role of adjuvant chemotherapy in patients with pathological high-risk factors in stage IA lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
Background It is still unclear whether stage I lung adenocarcinoma patients with tumour spread through air spaces (STAS) can benefit from postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) after lobectomy. This study investigated the effect of ACT on the postoperative survival of patients with stage I (STAS+) lung adenocarcinoma. Methods We retrospectively analysed the clinical data of stage I (STAS+) invasive lung adenocarcinoma patients who underwent lobectomy in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of our hospital from January 1, 2013 to January 1, 2016. Propensity score matching (PSM) was performed to group patients to investigate whether ACT could lead to better prognosis of patients. Results A total of 593 patients with stage I (STAS+) lung adenocarcinoma were enrolled. The study after PSM included 406 patients. Kaplan–Meier survival analysis showed the experimental group had a better 3-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) rate (p = 0.037) and the 5-year RFS rate (p = 0.022) than the control group. It also had higher 5-year overall survival (p = 0.017). The multivariate analysis by Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that stage I STAS+ lung adenocarcinoma patients with lymphatic vessel invasion (HR: 1.711, 95% CI: 1.052-2.784; p = 0.045), vascular invasion (HR: 5.014, 95% CI: 3.154-7.969; p < 0.001), and visceral pleural invasion (HR: 2.086, 95% CI: 1.162-3.743; p = 0.014), and without ACT (HR: 1.675, 95% CI: 1.043-2.689; p = 0.033) had a significant survival disadvantage. Conclusion ACT can boost the postoperative survival of patients with stage I (STAS+) lung adenocarcinoma.

Abstract
To validate the efficiency of pathologic grading system in pathologic stage IA lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), and explore whether integrating preoperative radiological features would enhance the performance of recurrence discrimination. We retrospectively collected 510 patients with resected stage IA LUAD between January 2012 and December 2019 from Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (GDPH). Pathologic grade classification of each case was based on the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC) pathologic staging system. Kaplan-Meier curves was used to assess the power of recurrence stratification. Concordance index (C-Index) and receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) were used for evaluating the clinical utility of different grading systems for recurrence discrimination. Patients of lower IASLC grade showed improved recurrence-free survival (RFS) (P < 0.0001) where numerically difference was found between grade II and grade III (P = 0.119). By integrating the IASLC grading system and radiological feature, we found the RFS rate decreased as the novel radiopathological (RP) grading system increased (P < 0.0001). The difference of RFS curves between any 2 groups as per the RP grading system was statisticallysignificant (RP grade I vs RP grade II, p = 0.007; RP grade I vs RP grade III, P < 0.0001; RP grade II vs RP grade III, P = 0.0003). Compared with the IASLC grading system, the RP grading system remarkably improved recurrence survival discrimination (C-index: 0.822; area under the curve, 0.845). Integrating imaging features into pathologic grading system enhanced the efficiency of recurrence discrimination for resected stage IA LUAD and might help conduct subsequent management.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We aimed to develop a prognostic nomogram based on a new classification of combined micropapillary and solid components in pathological stage IA invasive lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). METHODS According to the total proportion of solid and micropapillary components (TPSM), the X-tile software was applied to classify patients into the following three groups: TPSM-low (TPSM-L), TPSM-middle (TPSM-M), and TPSM-high (TPSM-H). The postoperative survival was compared among the three groups. The multivariate Cox regression analysis was performed to identify independent prognostic factors for survival. According to these factors, a nomogram model was developed to provide a personalized prognostic evaluation. RESULTS A total of 595 patients with pathological stage IA invasive LUAD were included in our study. The 5-year disease-free survival and overall survival rates in patients with TPSM-H and TPSM-M were significantly lower than those with TPSM-L. The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the TPSM classification was an independent prognostic factor for survival. According to TPSM classification, we developed a nomogram model which had good calibration and reliable discrimination ability to evaluate survival. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram based on the combination of micropapillary and solid components has good prognostic value in predicting postoperative recurrence and survival of patients with pathological stage IA invasive LUAD.

Clin Lung Cancer 2021; 22:e820-e828. [PMID: 33992533 DOI: 10.1016/j.cllc.2021.04.001] [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: 01/19/2021] [Revised: 04/01/2021] [Accepted: 04/02/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Histologic subtyping offers some prognostic value in lung adenocarcinoma. We thus hypothesized that histologic subtypes may be useful for risk stratification of brain metastasis (BM). In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of histologic subtypes on the risk for BM in patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Of 1099 consecutive patients who had undergone curative-intent surgery (2000-2014), 448 patients who had undergone complete resection for lung adenocarcinoma were included in this study. Correlated clinical variables and BM-free survival were analyzed. RESULTS Micropapillary predominance was significantly associated with higher risk of BM after complete resection in univariate analyses (P < .001). In addition, multivariate analyses showed that micropapillary predominance was an independent risk factor for BM (hazard ratio = 2.727; 95% confidence interval, 1.260-5.900; P = .011), along with younger age and advanced pathologic stage. Unlike the other subtypes, an increase in the percentage of the micropapillary subtype was positively correlated with an increase in BM frequency. Patients with micropapillary adenocarcinoma showed significantly poorer brain metastasis-free survival compared with those with non-micropapillary adenocarcinoma (3 years, 78.2% vs. 95.6%; 5 years, 67.3% vs. 94.3%; P < .001). CONCLUSION The current study demonstrated a significant correlation between micropapillary subtype and higher risk of BM in patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma. This routine histologic evaluation of resected adenocarcinoma may provide useful information for the clinician when considering postoperative management in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Histologic subtyping offer some prognostic value in lung adenocarcinoma. Because brain metastasis is critical and often refractory to systemic chemotherapy, early detection is clinically important to achieve effective local treatment. We retrospectively analyzed the association between histologic subtypes and occurrence of brain metastasis and found a significant association between micropapillary predominance and higher risk for brain metastasis. Our findings may be relevant when considering postoperative management.

Abstract
Simple Summary The tumor microenvironment is a dynamic area, with continuous interaction between tumor cells and their surrounding environment. We aimed to investigate the relationship between tumor radiomic margin characteristics and prognosis in patients with lung cancer. When compared to the model with clinical variables only (C-index = 0.738), the model incorporating clinical variables and radiomic margin characteristics (C-index = 0.753) demonstrated a higher C-index for predicting overall survival. In the model integrating both clinical variables and radiomic margin characteristics, convexity, Laplace of Gaussian (LoG) kurtosis 3, and roundness factor were independent predictive factors of overall survival. Our study showed that radiomic margin characteristics helped predict overall survival in patients with lung adenocarcinomas, thus implying that the tumor margin contains prognostic information. Abstract We aimed to investigate the relationship between tumor radiomic margin characteristics and prognosis in patients with lung cancer. We enrolled 334 patients who underwent complete resection for lung adenocarcinoma. A quantitative computed tomography analysis was performed, and 76 radiomic margin characteristics were extracted. The radiomic margin characteristics were correlated with overall survival. The selected clinical variables and radiomic margin characteristics were used to calculate a prognostic model with subsequent internal and external validation. Nearly all of the radiomic margin characteristics showed excellent reproducibility. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) method was used to select eight radiomic margin characteristics. When compared to the model with clinical variables only (C-index = 0.738), the model incorporating clinical variables and radiomic margin characteristics (C-index = 0.753) demonstrated a higher C-index for predicting overall survival. In the model integrating both clinical variables and radiomic margin characteristics, convexity, a Laplace of Gaussian (LoG) kurtosis of 3, and the roundness factor were each independently predictive of overall survival. In addition, radiomic margin characteristics were also correlated with the micropapillary subtype, and the sphericity value was able to predict the presence of the micropapillary subtype. In conclusion, our study showed that radiomic margin characteristics helped predict overall survival in patients with lung adenocarcinomas, thus implying that the tumor margin contains prognostic information.

A multi-institutional study. Ther Adv Med Oncol 2020; 12:1758835920978147. [PMID: 33403018 PMCID: PMC7739212 DOI: 10.1177/1758835920978147] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 11/11/2020] [Indexed: 12/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: The benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) remains unknown for patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) with spread through air spaces (STAS). This study investigated the effect of adjuvant chemotherapy in stage I ADC/STAS-positive patients. Methods: A total of 3346 patients with stage I ADC from five institutions in China were identified from 2009 to 2013, of whom 1082 were diagnosed with STAS (32.3%). By using the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regression model, we explored the impact of STAS on prognosis, and determined if the use of adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with improved outcomes in patients with stage I ADC/STAS-positive. A validation cohort was also included in this study. Results: Patients with stage I ADC/STAS-positive in the primary cohort had unfavorable overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS). A multivariate Cox regression model confirmed the survival disadvantages of STAS in patients with stage I ADC [OS: hazards ratio (HR) = 1.877, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.579–2.231; p < 0.001; DFS: HR = 1.895, 95% CI: 1.614–2.225; p < 0.001]. Lobectomy was associated with better OS and DFS than sublobar resection (SR) in both stage IA and IB ADC/STAS-positive. Similar results were observed in the validation cohort. For patients with stage IB ADC/STAS-positive, ACT was revealed as an independent factor for favorable survival (OS: HR = 0.604, 95% CI: 0.397–0.919; p = 0.018; DFS: HR = 0.565, 95% CI: 0.372–0.858; p = 0.007). However, among patients with stage IA ADC/STAS-positive, ACT was associated with improved outcomes only for those undergoing SR (OS: HR = 0.787, 95% CI: 0.359–0.949; p = 0.034; DFS: HR = 0.703, 95% CI: 0.330–0.904; p = 0.029). Conclusion: The presence of STAS was correlated with poor prognosis in patients with stage I ADC. Our study suggested that ACT might be considered for patients with stage IB ADC/STAS-positive and those with stage IA ADC/STAS-positive who underwent SR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several genetic driver alterations have been identified in micropapillary lung adenocarcinoma (MPA). However, the frequency of co-alteration of ROS1, EGFR, and EML4-ALK is yet unclear. Herein, we investigated the relationship between clinicopathologic characteristics and well-identified driver mutations of MPA compared with non-micropapillary lung adenocarcinoma (LA). METHODS Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) sections derived from lung adenocarcinoma patients who never received adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation therapy prior to surgical resection were collected from October 2016 to June 2019. EGFR mutations, ROS1 rearrangements, and EML4-ALK fusion were identified in a set of 131 MPA and LA cases by using the amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS). The response rate and duration of response were assessed using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1). RESULTS EGFR mutations had occurred in 42 (76.4%) MPA patients and 42 (55.3%) LA patients. Interestingly, ROS1 rearrangements were highly enriched only in the MPA cases (6/55, 10.9%) but rarely in the LA cases (1/76, 1.3%). Furthermore, 7.3% (4/55) MPA samples had double gene mutations, while only 1.3% (1/76) LA cases had double gene alterations. Of 5 patients with harboring two driver oncogene mutations, four patients (80%) obtained partial response, and one patient (20%) suffered recurrence. CONCLUSIONS A higher prevalence of ROS1 rearrangement or combined mutations of ROS1, EGFR, and EML4-ALK may play a critical role in the tumorigenesis of MPA. These findings provide a novel therapeutic strategy for patients with malignant MPA through combining TKIs than one TKI.
