Chu Q, Sripada K, Vaselenak S, Jovanoski N, Arnold M. Impact of Adjuvant Atezolizumab on Recurrences Avoided and Treatment Cost Savings for Patients with Stage II-IIIA Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Canada. Curr Oncol 2024; 31:3301-3310. [PMID: 38920734 PMCID: PMC11202522 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol31060251] [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: 04/19/2024] [Revised: 05/29/2024] [Accepted: 06/05/2024] [Indexed: 06/27/2024] Open
Abstract
This epidemiological model forecasted reductions in recurrences and recurrence treatment cost savings with adjuvant atezolizumab vs best supportive care among Canadians with stage II-IIIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at national and provincial levels. The population had resected, programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1)-high (≥50%), EGFR-, ALK-, stage II-IIIA NSCLC eligible for adjuvant treatment. Patients with recurrence or death and the costs of treating recurrences were estimated for those receiving adjuvant atezolizumab or best supportive care each year (2024-2034). Proportions of patients expected to be event free up to 10 years after treatment initiation were extrapolated with parametric survival analyses. In the base case analysis, 240 fewer recurrences were estimated to occur over 10 years (2024-2034) with adjuvant atezolizumab vs best supportive care across Canada, with 136 (57%) and 104 (43%) fewer locoregional and metastatic recurrences, respectively. Projected costs of treated recurrences were CAD 33.2 million less over 10 years with adjuvant atezolizumab at a national level (adjuvant atezolizumab, CAD 135.8 million; best supportive care, CAD 169.0 million). This model predicts a considerable long-term reduction in recurrences and substantial treatment cost savings with adjuvant atezolizumab vs best supportive care for patients with PD-L1-high early-stage NSCLC in Canada.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the treatment of nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC), a disease-free survival of 5 years is a criterion for cure. This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics and outcomes of patients with brain metastases of NSCLC after a disease-free survival of 5 years (late recurrent brain metastasis [LRBM]). METHODS We reviewed 1281 consecutive patients with brain metastasis of lung cancer at a single institute between November 2014 and December 2022. Relevant articles were retrieved from PubMed. Only peer-reviewed journals published in English were included. RESULTS Six patients (0.47%) showed LRBM. Three were male. The median age at lung cancer diagnosis was 45 years. The histological diagnosis of all patients was adenocarcinoma. Driver gene mutations were observed in five patients. The median latency period from lung cancer treatment to the development of brain metastasis was 13 years. All patients had no metastasis to any other organs and underwent craniotomies. The median follow-up duration after craniotomy was 3.5 years. No local intracranial recurrences were observed. Three patients had distant intracranial recurrences at 7, 2, and 0.6 years after craniotomy. Five patients survived for 8, 4, 3, 2, and 0.3 years after craniotomy. One patient experienced re-recurrence in the lung 4 years after craniotomy and died 3.7 years later. In our systematic review, only six studies described LRBM of NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS LRBM is rare in patients with NSCLC. In our institution, many of these patients harbored driver gene mutations, and achieved long-term survival with aggressive local therapy. Multicenter analysis is mandatory.

Long-term outcomes of 5-year survivors without recurrence after the complete resection of non-small cell lung cancer after lobectomy: a landmark analysis in consideration of competing risks. Surg Today 2024:10.1007/s00595-024-02804-2.

Abstract
PURPOSE Among non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC), 5 years is a benchmark in cancer control and treatment, but a certain percentage of cases recur after 5 years. The long-term post-recurrence outcomes remain controversial. To examine the accurate prognostic factors associated with survival and cancer recurrence among 5-year survivors, a landmark analysis that considered competing risks was performed. METHODS Complete resection of NSCLC was performed in 2482 patients between January 2003 and December 2015. A total of 1431 patients were 5-year survivors without recurrence. A landmark time analysis was applied to the overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) from 5 years after surgery, and the findings were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. The cumulative incidence of cause-specific death and recurrence was estimated using the cumulative incidence function, while carefully considering the competing risks. RESULTS Postoperative recurrence was detected in 732 patients, of whom 68 (9.3%) had recurrence after 5 years. The median follow-up period was 8.2 years. In the competing risk analysis, the independent poor prognostic factors associated with cause-specific death were age ≥ 75 years, lymph node metastasis and pleural invasion. CONCLUSIONS Patients requiring a follow-up for > 5 years were aged ≥ 75 years and had either lymph node metastasis or pleural invasion.

Abstract
Ultra-late recurrence, defined as recurrence occurring 10 years or longer after curative treatment, is uncommon for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). To date, factors associated with ultra-late recurrence remain unknown. We report a case with ultra-late recurrence and reviewed the literature published during 2010-2023. This is a case of a 66-year-old woman, with a significant smoking history and a previous history of lung adenocarcinoma, who underwent surgery for a brain metastasis detected on imaging. The pathology confirmed lung adenocarcinoma with an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) exon 20 insertion, a finding consistent with the initial lung surgery a decade ago. With receiving intrathecal topotecan, the patient has maintained stable disease 10 months post-surgery. Given the rarity of ultra-late recurrence of NSCLC, we also conducted a pooled analysis with the outcome of interest being a time to recurrence. Data from this case report was analyzed along with previously published 26 cases of ultra-late recurrence. Multivariable analysis indicated that the only factor significantly predicting time to recurrence was anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement.

Abstract
A meta-analysis was performed to comprehensively assess the effects of video-assisted thoracoscopy on surgical site wound infection and wound pain in patients with lung cancer. Studies on video-assisted thoracoscopy for lung cancer were collected from PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, and Wanfang database, from inception to January 2023. Two researchers independently screened the literature, extracted the data, and evaluated the quality of the included studies according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.4 software. Thirty-one articles with a total of 3608 patients were included, with 1809 in the video-assisted thoracoscopy group and 1799 in the control group. Compared with the control group, video-assisted thoracoscopy significantly reduced surgical site wound infection (odds ratio: 0.22, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.14-0.33, P < .001) and surgical site wound pain at postoperative day 1 (standardised mean difference [SMD]: -0.90, 95% CI: -1.17 to -0.64, P < .001) and postoperative day 3 (SMD: -1.59, 95% CI: -2.25 to -0.92, P < .001). Thus, these results showed that video-assisted thoracoscopy may have beneficial outcomes by reducing surgical site wound infection and pain. However, owing to the large variation in sample sizes and some methodological shortcomings, further validation is needed in future studies with higher quality and larger sample sizes.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE Laminin-332 is an important component of the basement membrane. Recently, autoantibodies to Laminin-332 have been described in several autoimmune diseases. Many of these autoimmune diseases have a high incidence of malignancy. The importance of Laminin-332 autoantibodies and its relationship to malignancy is highlighted by using Laminin-332 Pemphigoid (LM-332Pg) as a prototype. OBJECTIVE To identify several autoimmune diseases that have autoantibodies to Laminin-332 present, and to determine the prevalence of malignancy in them. Using Laminin-332 Pemphigoid (LM-332Pg) as a prototype, to compare clinical profiles of LM-332Pg patients with and without cancer. By identifying the temporal detection of cancer, can the influence of autoantibodies to Laminin-332 on prognosis be determined. EVIDENCE REVIEW A literature search was conducted to identify autoimmune and inflammatory diseases in which autoantibodies to Laminin-332 were present. Subsequently, the rate of malignancy in these autoimmune diseases was determined. A search for publications on LM-332Pg patients to determine cancer rates and clinical outcomes to examine if a relationship can be proposed, was performed. FINDINGS Autoantibodies to Laminin-332 were detected in recent studies of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), psoriasis, bronchiolitis obliterans (BO), graft-vs-host disease (GVH), bullous pemphigoid (BP), lichen planus (LP), epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA), and membranous glomerulonephropathy (MGN). A high incidence of cancer rate was reported in these autoimmune diseases including primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), systemic sclerosis (SS), dermatomyositis (DM), multiple sclerosis (MS), immune thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Data analysis demonstrated that LM-332Pg patients had a higher risk of developing ovarian, uterine, lung, gastric cancers and leukemia. The incidence for breast cancer was lower, when compared with global cancer rates. Patients diagnosed with cancer after the presence of LM-332Pg had higher rates of mortality and lower rates of remission, compared to those diagnosed with cancer prior to the discovery/diagnosis of LM-332Pg. When studied, levels of Laminin-332 autoantibodies correlated with the presence or absence of malignancy. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE Preliminary analysis suggests that autoantibodies to Laminin-332 are present in multiple autoimmune diseases, which also have a high incidence of malignancy. Detailed analysis of available data highlights that patients who developed LM-332Pg after cancer was diagnosed, had a more favorable prognosis, compared to patients who developed cancer when LM-332Pg was previously present. Preliminary data would suggest that autoantibodies to Laminin-332 could serve as an important biomarker in certain patients, for correlation with possible incidence of malignancy.

Abstract
Background Cancer recurrence remains a significant problem, and most postoperative recurrences of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) develop within 5 years after resection. We present a rare case of ultra-late recurrence of NSCLC accompanying choroidal metastasis with KIF13A-RET fusion 14 years after the definitive surgery. Case description A 48-year-old female patient who had never-smoked presented with decreased visual acuity. She had been treated with right upper lobe lobectomy followed by adjuvant chemotherapy 14 years prior. Fundus photographs revealed bilateral choroidal metastatic lesions. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) scans showed extensive bone metastases and focal hypermetabolism in the left uterine cervix. An excision biopsy of the uterus showed primary lung adenocarcinoma with immunohistochemistry of TTF-1+. Plasma next-generation sequencing (NGS) identified the presence of KIF13A-RET fusion. After 6 months of selpercatinib therapy, PET-CT revealed a partial response for bone and uterine metastasis and stable disease for choroidal lesions. Conclusion In this case report, we are reporting a rare case of ultra-late recurrence of NSCLC in a patient with choroidal metastasis. Furthermore, the diagnosis of NSCLC with RET fusion was based on liquid-based NGS rather than tissue-based biopsy. The patient showed a good response to selpercatinib, which supports the efficacy of selpercatinib as a treatment for RET-fusion-positive NSCLC with choroidal metastasis.

Abstract
Inflammation plays a key role in malignant tumor progression. Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of systemic inflammation and, as such, high isolated pretreatment NLR has been shown in some studies to be associated with worse long-term outcomes. We summarize the data regarding the utility of NLR as a prognosis factor and present results of a single institution study assessing the usefulness of high preoperative NLR as a prognosis factor for patients with successfully resected NSCLC who receive adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy. While largely supportive of the value of NLR as a prognostic factor, the literature is not consistent and suggest a more nuanced association. Our single institution study adds to the exiting literature. We conclude preoperative NLR can be used as a reliable, cost-effective biomarker to estimate prognosis in NSCLC patients who have undergone lung lobectomy with curative intent followed by cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy.

The miR-23a/27a/24-2 cluster promotes postoperative progression of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer. Mol Ther Oncolytics 2022; 24:205-217.

Abstract
Even with optimal surgery, many early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients die of recurrence. Unfortunately, there are no precise predictors for postoperative recurrence in early-stage NSCLC, and the recurrence mechanism is still unclear. In this study, we found that simultaneous overexpression of all miRNAs in the miR-23a/27a/24-2 cluster was closely associated with postoperative recurrence, β-catenin upregulation and promoter methylation of p16 and CDH13 in early-stage NSCLC patients. In addition, in vitro and in vivo experiments show that overexpression or inhibition of all miRNAs in the miR-23a/27a/24-2 cluster significantly stimulated or inhibited NSCLC cell stemness, tumorigenicity and metastasis. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the miR-23a/27a/24-2 cluster miRNAs activated Wnt/β-catenin signaling by targeting their suppressors and stimulated promoter methylation-induced silencing of p16 and CDH13 by affecting DNA methylation-related genes expression. Our findings suggest that simultaneous high expression of all miRNAs in the miR-23a/27a/24-2 cluster represents a new biomarker for predicting postoperative recurrence in early-stage NSCLC. The miR-23a/27a/24-2 cluster miRNAs stimulate early-stage NSCLC progression through simultaneously stimulating Wnt/β-catenin signaling, and promoter methylation-induced tumor suppressor genes silencing. In addition, simultaneous inhibition of all miRNAs in the miR-23a/27a/24-2 cluster may be a useful strategy for treatment of early-stage NSCLC recurrence.

Abstract
Inflammation plays a key role in malignant tumor progression. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a marker of systemic inflammation and, as such, high isolated pretreatment NLR has been shown to be associated with worse long-term outcomes. The aim of the present study is to evaluate the prognostic value of pre- and post-operative NLR in relation to mortality and recurrence rates in patients undergoing lung lobectomy for NSCLC. A single-center retrospective analysis of 534 lobectomies was performed between 2009 and 2018. NLR was measured in two opportunities: 1 month prior to surgery and 1-4 months after. Primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS). Secondary outcomes were variables associated with mortality and recurrence. The study sample included 264 lobectomies. Independent predictors of OS were ASA 3/4 (p = 0.041) and open surgical approach (p = 0.042). Adjuvant chemotherapy (p = 0.002) and pathological N 1/2-stage (p = 0.0015) were associated with RFS. Delta NLR correlated with OS (p = 0.042) and RFS (p < 0.001). Patients were divided into three delta NLR categories: delta NLR < 0, delta NLR 0-0.5 and delta NLR > 0.5. Increasing delta NLR was significantly associated with worse OS (p < 0.001) and RFS (p < 0.001). Dynamic behaviour of NLR assessed through delta NLR is a useful tool that potentially allows predicting mortality and recurrence outcomes in patients undergoing lung lobectomy for NSCLC and may be more informative than static baseline values.

Interactive Verification Analysis of Multiple Sequencing Data for Identifying Potential Biomarker of Lung Adenocarcinoma. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2020; 2020:8931419. [PMID: 33062704 PMCID: PMC7547331 DOI: 10.1155/2020/8931419] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2020] [Revised: 09/14/2020] [Accepted: 09/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Background Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) comprises around 40% of all lung cancers, and in about 70% of patients, it has spread locally or systemically when first detected leading to a worse prognosis. Methods We filtered out differentially expressed genes (DEGs) based on the RNA sequencing data in the Gene Expression Omnibus database and verified and deeply analyzed screened DEGs using a combined bioinformatics approach. Results Expressions of 11,143 genes in 694 nontumor lung tissues and LUAD cases from 8 independent laboratories were analyzed; 188 mRNAs were identified as differentially expressed genes (DEGs). A PPI network constructed with 188 DEGs screened out 8 hub DEGs (CDH5, PECAM1, VWF, CLDN5, COL1A1, MMP9, SPP1, and IL6) which highly interconnected with other nodes. The expression levels of 8 hub genes in LUAD and control were assessed in the Oncomine database, and the results were consistent. The survival curves of 8 hub genes showed that their expressions are significantly related to the prognosis of lung cancer and LUAD patients except for IL6. Since the expression of IL6 is nonspecific and highly sensitive, we choose the other 7 hub genes we had verified to do the next analysis. Mutual exclusivity or cooccurrence analysis of 7 hub genes identified a tendency towards cooccurrence between CDH5, PECAM1, and VWF in LUAD. The coexpression profiles of CDH5 in LUAD were identified, and we found that PECAM1 and VWF coexpressed with CDH5. Immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR analysis showed that higher levels of CDH5, PECAM1, and VWF were expressed in normal lung tissues but a low or undetectable level was found in LUAD tissues. Conclusions Taken together, we speculate that CDH5, PECAM1, and VWF played an important role in LUAD.

Int J Cancer 2020; 148:626-636. [PMID: 32738818 DOI: 10.1002/ijc.33239] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/07/2020] [Revised: 07/17/2020] [Accepted: 07/28/2020] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
We aimed to investigate the conditional relative survival (CRS) and competing mortality in patients who underwent surgery for newly diagnosed lung cancer. Using a nationwide population-based database, we calculated 5-year CRS on 1 to 5 years survival after surgery. These rates were reported according to age, sex, socioeconomic status, comorbidities and treatment received. We also estimated cause-specific mortality with the consideration of competing risk. We identified 34 349 patients newly diagnosed with primary lung cancer from 2007 to 2013. The 5-year CRS after surgery was 71.7% at baseline improving steadily to 85.4% by 5 years, suggesting evidence of persistent excess mortality risk. Throughout the period, lung cancer was the most common cause of death, contributing to 83.6% mortality 1 year after surgery and 66.3% 5 years after surgery. Other causes of death included cardiovascular disease and respiratory disease, which increased continuously with time after surgery. CRS rates for patients with lung cancer improved over time but did not reach the level of the general population even 5 years after surgery. Although the main cause of death continues to be lung cancer, death from noncancer causes increased with time after surgery. Evidence-based decisions could be made on the dynamic risk profiles of the patients.
