Abstract
INTRODUCTION Electronic nose (E-nose) technology has demonstrated excellent sensitivity and specificity in the setting of lung cancer screening. However, the performance of E-nose specifically for early-stage tumors remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess the diagnostic performance of E-nose technology in clinical stage I lung cancer. METHODS This Phase-IIc trial (NCT04734145) included patients diagnosed with a single ≥50% solid stage I nodule. Exhalates were prospectively collected from January 2020 to August 2023. Blinded bioengineers analyzed the exhalates, using E-nose technology to determine the probability of malignancy. Patients were stratified into 3 risk groups (low-risk, <0.2; moderate-risk, ≥0.2 to 0.7; high-risk, ≥0.7). The primary outcome was the diagnostic performance of E-nose versus histopathology (accuracy and F1 score). The secondary outcome was the clinical performance of the E-nose versus clinicoradiological prediction models. RESULTS Based on the predefined cut-off (<0.20), E-nose agreed with histopathological results in 86% of cases, achieving an F1 score of 92.5%, based on 86 true positives, 2 false negatives, and 12 false positives (n=100). Compared with Swensen and Brock models, E-nose would refer fewer patients with malignant nodules to observation (Low-risk: 2 vs. 9 and 11; respectively; p=0.028 and p=0.011) and more patients with malignant nodules to treatment without biopsy (High-risk: 27 vs. 19 and 6; respectively; p=0.057 and p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS In the setting of clinical stage I lung cancer, E-nose has good agreement with histopathology. Accordingly, E-nose technology can be used in addition to imaging or as part of a "multiomics" platform.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The eighth edition of the tumor, node and metastases (TNM) classification of pleural mesothelioma (PM) saw substantial changes in T and N components and stage groupings. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer collected data into a multinational database in order to further refine this classification. This 9th edition proposal incorporates changes proposed in the clinical (c)T component, but not the pathologic (p)T component, to include size criteria, and further refines TNM stage groupings for PM. METHODS Data were submitted via electronic data capture (EDC) or batch transfer from institutional databases. Survival was measured from diagnosis date. Candidate stage groups were developed using a recursive partitioning and amalgamation (RPA) algorithm applied to all cM0 cases for clinical stage and subsequently for pathological stage. Cox models were developed to estimate survival for each stage group. RESULTS Of 3598 submitted cases, 2192 were analyzable for overall cStage and 445 for overall pStage. RPA generated survival tree on OS outcomes restricted to cM0 with newly proposed (9th edition) cT and cN component-derived optimal stage groupings of: stage I (T1N0), II (T1N1; T2N0), IIIA (T1N2; T2N1/2; any T3), IIIB (any T4), and IV (any M1). Although cT and pT descriptors are different in the 9th edition, aligning pStage groupings with cStage produced better discrimination than retaining 8th edition pStage groupings. CONCLUSIONS This revision of the clinical TNM classification for PM is the first to incorporate the measurement-based proposed changes in clinical T category. The pathological TNM aligns with clinical TNM.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer developed an international database to inform potential revisions in the 9th edition of the Tumor, Node, Metastasis classification of diffuse pleural mesothelioma (PM). This study analyzed the clinical and pathological N categories to determine whether revisions were indicated relative to the 8th edition staging system. METHODS Of 7,338 PM cases diagnosed 2013 to 2022, 3,598 met all inclusion criteria for planned analyses. Data on 2,836 patients without metastases were included in this study. Overall survival (OS) was measured from date of diagnosis. Patients were included regardless of whether they received neoadjuvant treatment. For the pathological N analysis, patients who underwent resection (extrapleural pneumonectomy or pleurectomy/decortication) were included. N subgroups were analyzed and overall survival (OS) assessed by the Kaplan Meier method. RESULTS The existing 8th edition N categories performed adequately in the 9th edition dataset. A median OS advantage was noted for clinical and pathological N0 versus N1 patients: 23.2 versus 18.5 and 33.8 vs. 25.0 months, respectively. Patients with resected pN0 had a 3-year OS of 48%. No difference in OS was noted for single versus multiple station nodal metastases. The number of nodal stations sampled at the time of resection was not associated with a difference in OS. CONCLUSIONS Data regarding clinical and pathological N categories corroborate those used in the 8th edition. No changes in the N categories are recommended in the 9th edition of PM staging system.

Abstract
Neoadjuvant immunotherapy has gone from an idea to an indication in locally advanced lung cancer. Several phase III trials have demonstrated the superiority of neoadjuvant chemoimmunotherapy compared with chemotherapy in this setting. Although such progress has revolutionized the treatment of locally advanced disease, the unmet needs of stage I and stage II patients without lymph node disease have largely been underrepresented in existing trials. Up-front resection with few patients going on to complete adjuvant therapy remains the norm for most stage I and II patients. Emerging evidence now supports the exploration of supplemental checkpoint blockade in well-selected early-stage, node-negative patients with large tumors and no actionable driver mutations. Although concerns surrounding safety and risk exist, patient selection could be substantially improved using novel biomarker approaches that leverage our understanding of the tumor immune microenvironment of lung cancer. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the opportunities and controversies of perioperative immunotherapy in node-negative lung cancer.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The primary tumor (T) component in the eighth edition of pleural mesothelioma (PM) staging system is based on pleural involvement and extent of invasion. Quantitative assessment of pleural tumor has been found to be prognostic. We explored quantitative and qualitative metrics to develop recommendations for T descriptors in the upcoming ninth edition of the PM staging system. METHODS The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer prospectively collected data on patients with PM. Sum of maximum pleural thickness (Psum) was recorded. Optimal combinations of Psum and eighth edition cT descriptors were assessed using recursive binary splitting algorithm, with bootstrap resampling to correct for the adaptive nature of the splitting algorithm, and validated in the eighth edition data. Overall survival (OS) was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and differences in OS assessed by the log-rank test. RESULTS Of 7338 patients submitted, 3598 were eligible for cT analysis and 1790 had Psum measurements. Recursive partitioning identified optimal cutpoints of Psum at 12 and 30 mm, which, in combination with extent of invasion, yielded four prognostic groups for OS. Fmax greater than 5 mm indicated poor prognosis. cT4 category (based on invasion) revealed similar performance to eighth edition. Three eighth edition descriptors were eliminated based on low predictive accuracy. Eighth edition pT descriptors remained valid in ninth edition analyses. CONCLUSION Given reproducible prognostication by Psum, size criteria will be incorporated into cT1 to T3 categories in the ninth edition. Current cT4 category and all pT descriptors will be maintained, with reclassification of fissural invasion as pT2.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The TNM classification of lung cancer is periodically revised. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer collected and analyzed a new database to inform the forthcoming ninth edition of the TNM classification. The results are herewith presented. METHODS After exclusions, 76,518 patients from a total of 124,581 registered patients were available for analyses: 58,193 with clinical stage, 39,192 with pathologic stage, and 62,611 with best stage NSCLC. The proposed new N2 subcategories (N2a, involvement of single ipsilateral mediastinal or subcarinal nodal station, and N2b, involvement of multiple ipsilateral mediastinal nodal stations with or without involvement of the subcarinal nodal station) and the new M1c subcategories (M1c1, multiple extrathoracic metastases in one organ system, and M1c2, multiple extrathoracic metastases in multiple organ systems) were considered in the survival analyses. Several potential stage groupings were evaluated, using multiple analyses, including recursive partitioning, assessment of homogeneity within and discrimination between potential groups, clinical and statistical significance of survival differences, multivariable regression, and broad assessment of generalizability. RESULTS T1N1, T1N2a, and T3N2a subgroups are assigned to IIA, IIB, and IIIA stage groups, respectively. T2aN2b and T2bN2b subgroups are assigned to IIIB. M1c1 and M1c2 remain in stage group IVB. Analyses reveal consistent ordering, discrimination of prognosis, and broad generalizability of the proposed ninth edition stage classification of lung cancer. CONCLUSIONS The proposed stages for the ninth edition TNM improve the granularity of nomenclature about anatomic extent that has benefits as treatment approaches become increasingly differentiated and complex.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to determine the outcomes and toxicities of patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Data were extracted from an institutional tumor registry for patients diagnosed with mesothelioma and treated with SBRT. Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were employed to determine local control (LC) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Forty-four patients with 59 total treated tumors from December 2006 to April 2022 were identified. Fifty-one (86.4 %) cases had oligoprogressive disease (five sites or less). The median prescription dose delivered was 3000 cGy in 5 fractions (range: 2700-6000 cGy in 3-8 fractions). Fifty-one (86.4 %) tumors were in the pleura, 4 (6.8 %) spine, 2 (3.4 %) bone, 1 (1.7 %) brain, and 1 (1.7 %) pancreas. The median follow-up from SBRT completion for those alive at last follow-up was 28 months (range: 14-52 months). The most common toxicities were fatigue (50.8 %), nausea (22.0 %), pain flare (15.3 %), esophagitis (6.8 %), dermatitis (6.8 %), and pneumonitis (5.1 %). There were no grade ≥ 3 acute or late toxicities. There were 2 (3.4 %) local failures, one of the pleura and another of the spine. One-year LC was 92.9 % (95 % CI: 74.6-98.2 %) for all lesions and 96.3 % (95 % CI: 76.5-99.5 %) for pleural tumors. One-year LC was 90.9 % (95 % CI: 68.1-97.6 %) for epithelioid tumors and 92.1 % (95 % CI: 72.1-98.0 %) for oligoprogressive tumors. One-year OS from time of SBRT completion was 36.4 % (95 % CI: 22.6-50.3 %). On multivariable analysis, KPS was the lone significant predictor for OS (p = 0.029). CONCLUSIONS Our single-institutional experience on patients with MPM suggests that SBRT is safe with a low toxicity profile and potentially achieve good local control.

Abstract
The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer collaborated with the International Mesothelioma Interest Group to propose the first TNM stage classification system for diffuse pleural mesothelioma in 1995, accepted by the Union for International Cancer Control and the American Joint Committee on Cancer for the sixth and seventh edition stage classification manuals. The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee Mesothelioma Domain developed and analyzed an international registry of patients with pleural mesothelioma and updated TNM descriptors for the eighth edition of the stage classification system. To inform revisions for the forthcoming ninth edition of the TNM stage classification system, data submission was solicited for patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2022 with expanded data elements on the basis of the first project's exploratory analyses, including pleural thickness measurements, updated surgical nomenclature, and molecular markers. The resulting database consisted of a total of 3598 analyzable cases from Europe, Australia, Asia, North America, and South America, with a median age of 71 years (range: 18-99 y), 2775 (77.1%) of whom were men. With only 1310 patients (36.4%) undergoing curative-intent operations, this iteration of the database includes far more patients treated nonsurgically compared with prior. Four separate manuscripts on T, N, M, and stage groupings submitted to this journal will summarize analyses of these data and will serve collectively as the primary source of the proposed changes to the upcoming ninth edition of the pleural mesothelioma stage classification system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the association between operative time and postoperative outcomes. BACKGROUND The association between operative time and morbidity after pulmonary lobectomy has not been characterized fully. METHODS Patients who underwent pulmonary lobectomy for primary lung cancer at our institution from 2010 to 2018 were reviewed. Exclusion criteria included clinical stage ≥IIb disease, conversion to thoracotomy, and previous ipsilateral lung treatment. Operative time was measured from incision to closure. Relationships between operative time and outcomes were quantified using multivariable mixed-effects models with surgeon-level random effects. RESULTS In total, 1651 patients were included. The median age was 68 years (interquartile range, 61-74), and 63% of patients were women. Median operative time was 3.2 hours (interquartile range, 2.7-3.8) for all cases, 3.0 hours for open procedures, 3.3 hours for video-assisted thoracoscopies, and 3.3 hours for robotic procedures ( P =0.0002). Overall, 488 patients (30%) experienced a complication; 77 patients (5%) had a major complication (grade ≥3), and 5 patients (0.3%) died within 30 days of discharge. On multivariable analysis, operative time was associated with higher odds of any complication [odds ratio per hour, 1.37; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.20-1.57; P <0.0001] and major complication (odds ratio per hour, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.21-1.64; P <0.0001). Operative time was also associated with longer hospital length of stay (β, 1.09; 95% CI, 1.04-1.14; P =0.001). CONCLUSIONS Longer operative time was associated with worse outcomes in patients who underwent lobectomy. Operative time is a potential risk factor to consider in the perioperative phase.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer developed an international pleural mesothelioma database to improve staging. Data entered from 1995 to 2009 (training data set) were analyzed previously to evaluate supplemental prognostic factors. We evaluated these factors with new clinical data to determine whether the previous models could be improved. METHODS Patients entered into the database from 2009 to 2019 (validation cohort) were assessed for the association between previous prognosticators and overall survival using Cox proportional hazards regression with bidirectional stepwise selection. Additional variables were analyzed and models were compared using Harrell's C-index. RESULTS The training data set included 3101 patients and the validation cohort, 1733 patients. For the multivariable pathologic staging model applied to the training cohort, C-index was 0.68 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.656-0.705). For the validation data set (n = 497), C-index was 0.650 (95% CI: 0.614-0.685), and pathologic stage, histologic diagnosis, sex, adjuvant therapy, and platelet count were independently associated with survival. Adding anemia to the model increased the C-index to 0.652 (95% CI: 0.618-0.686). A basic presentation model including all parameters before staging yielded a C-index of 0.668 (95% CI: 0.641-0.695). In comparison, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer model yielded C-indices of 0.550 (95% CI: 0.511-0.589) and 0.577 (95% CI: 0.550-0.604) for pathologic staging and presentation models, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Although significant predictors differed slightly, the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer training model performed well in the validation set and better than the model of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer. International collaboration is critical to improve outcomes in this rare disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Despite neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy, Pancoast tumors still present surgical and oncologic challenges. To optimize outcomes, we used a multidisciplinary care paradigm with medical and radiation oncology, and involvement of spine neurosurgery for most T3 and all T4 tumors. Spine neurosurgery permitted resection of transverse process for T3 and vertebral body resection for T4 tumors. METHODS Retrospective analysis of single institution, prospective database of patients undergoing resection for cT3 4M0 Pancoast tumors. Patients were grouped as cT3 with combined resection with spine neurosurgery (T3 Neuro), cT3 without spine neurosurgery (T3 NoNeuro), and cT4. Overall survival, progression-free survival were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier and compared between groups using log-rank test. Cumulative incidence of local-regional and distant recurrence were compared using Gray test. P value <.05 was considered significant. RESULTS From 2000 to 2021, 155 patients underwent surgery: median age was 58 years, and 81 were (52%) men. Most patients received neoadjuvant platinum-based neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (n = 127 [82%]). Operations were 48 cT3 Neuro, 41 cT3 NoNeuro, 66 cT4. R0 resection was achieved in 49 (94%) cT3 NoNeuro, 35 (85%) cT3 Neuro, and 57 (86%) cT4 patients (P = .4). Complete or major pathologic response occurred in 71 (55%) patients. Lower local-regional cumulative incidence was seen in cT3 Neuro versus cT3 NoNeuro (P = .05) and after major pathologic response. Overall survival and progression-free survival were associated with complete response, pathologic stage, and nodal status but not cT category. CONCLUSIONS This treatment paradigm was associated with a high frequency of R0 resection, complete response, and major pathologic response. cT3 and cT4 tumors had similar outcomes. Novel therapies are needed to improve complete response.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to compare postoperative outcomes between biologic and synthetic reconstructions after chest wall resection in a matched cohort. METHODS All patients who underwent reconstruction after full-thickness chest wall resection from 2000 to 2022 were reviewed and stratified by prosthesis type (biologic or synthetic). Biologic prostheses were of biologic origin or were fully absorbable and incorporable. Integer matching was performed to reduce confounding. The study end point was surgical site complications requiring reoperation. Multivariable analysis was performed to identify associated risk factors. RESULTS In total, 438 patients underwent prosthetic chest wall reconstruction (unmatched: biologic, n = 49; synthetic, n = 389; matched: biologic, n = 46; synthetic, n = 46). After matching, the median (interquartile range) defect size was 83 cm2 (50-142) for the biologic group and 90 cm2 (48-146) for the synthetic group (P = 0.97). Myocutaneous flaps were used in 33% of biologic reconstructions (n = 15) and 33% of synthetic reconstructions (n = 15) in the matched cohort (P = 0.99). The incidence of surgical site complications requiring reoperation was not significantly different between biologic and synthetic reconstructions in the unmatched (3 [6%] vs 29 [7%]; P = 0.99) and matched (2 [4%] vs 4 [9%]; P = 0.68) cohorts. On the multivariable analysis, operative time [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.01, 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.00-1.01; P = 0.006] and operative blood loss (aOR = 1.00, 95% CI, 1.00-1.00]; P = 0.012) were associated with higher rates of surgical site complications requiring reoperation; microvascular free flaps (aOR = 0.03, 95% CI, 0.00-0.42; P = 0.024) were associated with lower rates. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of surgical site complications requiring reoperation was not significantly different between biologic and synthetic prostheses in chest wall reconstructions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the utility of serum soluble mesothelin-related peptide (SMRP) and tumor mesothelin expression in the management of esophageal adenocarcinoma (ADC). BACKGROUND Clinical management of esophageal ADC is limited by a lack of accurate evaluation of tumor burden, treatment response, and disease recurrence. Our retrospective data showed that tumor mesothelin and its serum correlate, SMRP, are overexpressed and associated with poor outcomes in patients with esophageal ADC. METHODS Serum SMRP and tumoral mesothelin expression from 101 patients with locally advanced esophageal ADC were analyzed before induction chemoradiation (pretreatment) and at the time of resection (posttreatment), as a biomarker for treatment response, disease recurrence, and overall survival (OS). RESULTS Pre and posttreatment serum SMRP was ≥1 nM in 49% and 53%, and pre and post-treatment tumor mesothelin expression was >25% in 35% and 46% of patients, respectively. Pretreatment serum SMRP was not significantly associated with tumor stage ( P = 0.9), treatment response (radiologic response, P = 0.4; pathologic response, P = 0.7), or recurrence ( P =0.229). Pretreatment tumor mesothelin expression was associated with OS (hazard ratio: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.14-3.79; P = 0.017) but had no statistically significant association with recurrence ( P = 0.9). Three-year OS of patients with pretreatment tumor mesothelin expression of ≤25% was 78% (95% CI: 68%-89%), compared with 49% (95% CI: 35%-70%) among those with >25%. CONCLUSIONS Pretreatment tumor mesothelin expression is prognostic of OS for patients with locally advanced esophageal ADC, whereas serum SMRP is not a reliable biomarker for monitoring treatment response or recurrence.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The accurate assessment of nodal (N) status is crucial to the management and prognostication of nonmetastatic NSCLC. We sought to determine whether the current N descriptors should be maintained or revised for the upcoming ninth edition of the international TNM lung cancer staging system. METHODS Data were assembled by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer on patients with NSCLC, detailing both clinical and pathologic N status, with information about anatomical location and individual station-level identification. Survival was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method and prognostic groups were assessed by a Cox regression analysis. RESULTS Data for clinical N and pathologic N status were available in 45,032 and 35,009 patients, respectively. The current N0 to N3 descriptors for both clinical N and pathologic N categories reflect prognostically distinct groups. Furthermore, single-station N2 involvement (N2a) exhibited a better prognosis than multistation N2 involvement (N2b) in both clinical and pathologic classifications, and the differences between all neighboring nodal subcategories were highly significant. The prognostic differences between N2a and N2b were robust and consistent across resection status, histologic type, T category, and geographic region. CONCLUSIONS The current N descriptors should be maintained, with the addition of new subdescriptors to N2 for single-station involvement (N2a) and multiple-station involvement (N2b).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pedicled flaps (PFs) have historically served as the preferred option for reconstruction of large chest wall defects. More recently, the indications for microvascular-free flaps (MVFFs) have increased, particularly for defects in which PFs are inadequate or unavailable. We sought to compare oncologic and surgical outcomes between MVFFs and PFs in reconstructions of full-thickness chest wall defects. METHODS We retrospectively identified all patients who underwent chest wall resection at our institution from 2000 to 2022. Patients were stratified by flap reconstruction. End points were defect size, rate of complete resection, rate of local recurrence, and postoperative outcomes. Multivariable analysis was performed to identify factors associated with complications at 30 days. RESULTS In total, 536 patients underwent chest wall resection, of whom 133 had flap reconstruction (MVFF, n = 28; PF, n = 105). The median (interquartile range) covered defect size was 172 cm2 (100-216 cm2) for patients receiving MVFF versus 109 cm2 (75-148 cm2) for patients receiving PF (P = .004). The rate of R0 resection was high in both groups (MVFF, 93% [n = 26]; PF, 86% [n = 90]; P = .5). The rate of local recurrence was 4% in MVFF patients (n = 1) versus 12% in PF patients (n = 13, P = .3). Postoperative complications were not statistically different between groups (odds ratio for PF, 1.37; 95% confidence interval, 0.39-5.14]; P = .6). Operative time >400 minutes was associated with 30-day complications (odds ratio, 3.22; 95% confidence interval, 1.10-9.93; P = .033). CONCLUSIONS Patients with MVFFs had larger defects, a high rate of complete resection, and a low rate of local recurrence. MVFFs are a valid option for chest wall reconstructions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective is to determine how the COVID-19 pandemic affected care for patients undergoing thoracic surgery for cancer. BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of telemedicine. METHODS Characteristics and outcomes of new patients seen between March 1 and June 30, 2019, and the same period in 2020 were compared. Patients who did not undergo surgery were excluded. Patients who had a telemedicine visit (new and established) in the 2020 period were asked to complete a survey. RESULTS In total, 624 new patients were seen in 2019 versus 299 in 2020 (52% reduction); 45% of patients (n=136) in 2020 were seen via telemedicine. There was no statistically significant difference in time to surgery, pathological upstaging, or postsurgical complications between 2019 and 2020. In total, 1085 patients (new and established) had a telemedicine visit in 2020; 239 (22%) completed the survey. A majority replied that telemedicine was equivalent to in-person care (77%), did not impair care quality (84%), resulted in less stress (69%) and shorter waits (86%), was more convenient (92%), saved money and commuting time (93%), and expanded who could attend visits (91%). Some patients regretted the loss of human interaction (71%). Most would opt for telemedicine after the pandemic (60%), although some would prefer in-person format for initial visits (55%) and visits with complex discussions (49%). Only 21% were uncomfortable with the telemedicine technology. CONCLUSIONS Telemedicine enabled cancer care to continue during the COVID-19 pandemic without delays in surgery, cancer progression, or worsened postoperative morbidity and was generally well received.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Targeted therapy improves outcomes in patients with advanced-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and in the adjuvant setting, but data on its use before surgery are limited. We sought to investigate the safety and feasibility of preoperative targeted therapy in patients with operable NSCLC. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 51 patients with clinical stage I to III NSCLC who received targeted therapy, alone or in combination with chemotherapy, before surgical resection with curative intent, treated from 2004 to 2021. The primary outcome was the safety and feasibility of preoperative targeted therapy; secondary outcomes included objective response rate, major pathologic response (defined as ≤10% viable tumor) rate, recurrence-free survival (RFS), and overall survival. RESULTS Of the 51 patients included, 46 had an activating epidermal growth factor receptor gene alteration and 5 had an anaplastic lymphoma kinase fusion. Overall, 37 of 46 evaluable patients experienced at least 1 adverse event before surgery; however, only 3 patients experienced a grade 3 or 4 event. The objective response rate was 38% (17/45) for all evaluable patients and 44% (14/32) for patients with clinical stage II or III disease. The major pathologic response rate was 20% (9/44); 2 patients had a complete pathologic response. Median RFS was 3.8 years (95% CI, 2.8 to not reached). Targeted therapy alone was associated with better RFS than combination therapy (P = .009) in patients with clinical stage II or III disease. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative targeted therapy was well tolerated and associated with good outcomes, with or without induction chemotherapy. In addition, radiographic response and pathologic response were strongly correlated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess postoperative morbidity, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival (OS) in patients treated with salvage esophagectomy (SE). BACKGROUND DATA A shift toward a "surgery as needed" approach for esophageal cancer has emerged, potentially resulting in delayed esophagectomy. METHODS We identified patients with clinical stage I-III esophageal adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma who underwent chemoradiation followed by esophagectomy from 2001 to 2019. SE was defined as esophagectomy performed >90 days after chemoradiation ("for time") and esophagectomy performed for recurrence after curative-intent chemoradiation ("for recurrence"). The odds of postoperative serious complications were assessed by multivariable logistic regression. The relationship between SE and OS and DFS were quantified using Cox regression models. RESULTS Of 1137 patients identified, 173 (15%) underwent SE. Of those, 61 (35%) underwent SE for recurrence, and 112 (65%) underwent SE for time. The odds of experiencing any serious complication [odds ratio, 2.10 (95% CI, 1.37-3.20); P =0.001] or serious pulmonary complication [odds ratio, 2.11 (95% CI, 1.31-3.42); P =0.002] were 2-fold higher for SE patients; SE patients had a 1.5-fold higher hazard of death [hazard ratio, 1.56 (95% CI, 1.25-1.94); P <0.0001] and postoperative recurrence [hazard ratio, 1.43 (95% CI, 1.16-1.77); P =0.001]. Five-year OS for nonsalvage esophagectomy was 45% [(95% CI, 41.6%-48.6%) versus 26.5% (95% CI, 20.2%-34.8%) for SE (log-rank P <0.001)]. Five-year OS for SE for time was 27.1% [(95% CI, 19.5%-37.5%) versus 25.2% (95% CI, 15.3%-41.5%) for SE for recurrence ( P =0.611)]. CONCLUSIONS SE is associated with a higher risk of serious postoperative complications and shorter DFS and OS.

Abstract
Abstract
Background: Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) minimal residual disease (MRD) detection is a promising approach for personalization of adjuvant therapy in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). First generation ctDNA MRD assays that employ tumor-informed approaches to track single nucleotide variants (SNVs) have limits of detection (LOD95) of ~1E-4 and have high positive predictive values for recurrence. However, they have suboptimal clinical sensitivity, with false negative results at the completion of therapy in most patients who will ultimately recur. PhasED-Seq is a novel ctDNA MRD method that tracks multiple “phased” variants (PVs) within individual DNA fragments with a LOD95 ~100-fold better than first generation assays. Here we report PhasED-Seq ctDNA MRD results for the first prospective cohort of early stage NSCLC patients.
Methods: Tumor tissues (n=46), PBMCs (n=46) and plasma samples (n=169) from 46 Stage I-III NSCLC patients treated with curative intent were prospectively collected at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center. All patients underwent resection and received neoadjuvant +/- adjuvant therapy (n=14), adjuvant therapy only (n=17), or neither (n=15). Samples were analyzed in Foresight Diagnostics' CLIA laboratory (Aurora, CO) using personalized PhasED-Seq. Briefly, PVs were identified via whole genome sequencing of tumors and matched blood germline DNA. Custom capture panels targeting PVs were synthesized and used to assess MRD status in pre-, on- and post-treatment plasma samples. Detection of ctDNA MRD was assessed at a post-treatment landmark, defined as the first post-therapy sample or when not available the last post-surgical sample taken during therapy. To enable comparisons, the same plasma samples were analyzed using an SNV-based ctDNA MRD approach.
Results: PVs were identified in tumor tissue from all 46 patients. Across all plasma samples PhasED-Seq achieved a median LOD95 of 1.3E-6 and as low as 2.5E-7. Of 74 plasma samples with detectable ctDNA, 38 (51%) contained concentrations below 1E-4 and the lowest level of ctDNA MRD detected was 1.7E-7. For post-treatment landmark samples (n=45), the median time from end of therapy was 2 months. Cancer recurred in all patients (n=10) with detectable MRD at the landmark. Furthermore, PhasED-Seq better stratified freedom from recurrence (log-rank p=3E-8, Cox HR=10.8) than the SNV-based approach (log-rank p=0.08, Cox HR=2.5) and detected MRD at the landmark in more patients who ultimately recurred (56% vs 28%). PhasED-Seq also achieved longer lead times, including detecting MRD in 66% of samples collected 12 to 24 months prior to recurrence versus only 33% using SNV-based monitoring.
Conclusion: PhasED-Seq achieves ctDNA detection below 1 part per million and appears to be significantly more sensitive than SNV-based MRD monitoring. These results suggest that PhasED-Seq is a promising approach for use in risk adapted trials in early stage NSCLC.

Abstract
The status of lymph node involvement is a major component of the TNM staging system. The N categories for lung cancer have remained unchanged since the fourth edition of the TNM staging system, partly because of differences in nodal mapping nomenclature, partly because of insufficient details to verify possible alternative approaches for staging. In preparation for the rigorous analysis of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer database necessary for the ninth edition TNM staging system, members of the N-Descriptors Subcommittee of the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer Staging and Prognostic Factors Committee reviewed the evidence for alternative approaches to categorizing the extent of lymph node involvement with lung cancer, which is currently based solely on the anatomical location of lymph node metastasis. We reviewed the literature focusing on NSCLC to stimulate dialogue and mutual understanding among subcommittee members engaged in developing the ninth edition TNM staging system for lung cancer, which has been proposed for adoption by the American Joint Committee on Cancer and Union for International Cancer Control in 2024. The discussion of the range of possible revision options for the N categories, including the pros and cons of counting lymph nodes, lymph node stations, or lymph node zones, also provides transparency to the process, explaining why certain options may be discarded, others deferred for future consideration. Finally, we provide a preliminary discussion of the future directions that the N-Descriptors Subcommittee might consider for the 10th edition and beyond.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to compare gastroesophageal junction (GEJ) cancer and gastric cancer (GC) and identify clinicopathological and oncological differences. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA GEJ cancer and GC are frequently studied together. Although the treatment approach for each often differs, clinico-pathological and oncological differences between the 2 have not been fully evaluated. METHODS We retrospectively identified patients with GEJ cancer or GC who underwent R0 resection at our center between January 2000 and December 2016. Clinicopathological characteristics, disease-specific survival (DSS), and site of first recurrence were compared. RESULTS In total, 2194 patients were analyzed: 1060 (48.3%) with GEJ cancer and 1134 (51.7%) with GC. Patients with GEJ cancer were younger (64 vs 66 years; P < 0.001), more often received neoadjuvant treatment (70.9% vs 30.2%; P < 0.001), and had lower pathological T and N status. Five-year DSS was 62.2% in patients with GEJ cancer and 74.6% in patients with GC ( P < 0.001). After adjustment for clinicopathological factors, DSS remained worse in patients with GEJ cancer (hazard ratio, 1.78; 95% confidence interval, 1.40-2.26; P < 0.001). The cumulative incidence of recurrence was approximately 10% higher in patients with GEJ cancer ( P < 0.001). The site of first recurrence was more likely to be hematogenous in patients with GEJ cancer (60.1% vs 31.4%; P < 0.001) and peritoneal in patients with GC (52.9% vs 12.5%; P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS GEJ adenocarcinoma is more aggressive, with a higher incidence of recurrence and worse DSS, compared with gastric adenocarcinoma. Distinct differences between GEJ cancer and GC, especially in patterns of recurrence, may affect evaluation of optimal treatment strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy and safety of induction FOLFOX followed by PET-directed nCRT, induction CP followed by PET-directed nCRT, and nCRT with CP alone in patients with EAC. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA nCRT with CP is a standard treatment for locally advanced EAC. The results of cancer and leukemia group B 80803 support the use of induction chemotherapy followed by PET-directed chemo-radiation therapy. METHODS We retrospectively identified all patients with EAC who underwent the treatments above followed by esophagectomy. We assessed incidences of pathologic complete response (pCR), near-pCR (ypN0 with ≥90% response), and surgical complications between treatment groups using Fisher exact test and logistic regression; disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and evaluated using the log-rank test and extended Cox regression. RESULTS In total, 451 patients were included: 309 (69%) received induction chemotherapy before nCRT (FOLFOX, n = 70; CP, n = 239); 142 (31%) received nCRT with CP. Rates of pCR (33% vs. 16%, P = 0.004), near-pCR (57% vs. 33%, P < 0.001), and 2-year DFS (68% vs. 50%, P = 0.01) were higher in the induction FOLFOX group than in the induction CP group. Similarly, the rate of near-pCR (57% vs. 42%, P = 0.04) and 2-year DFS (68% vs. 44%, P < 0.001) were significantly higher in the FOLFOX group than in the no-induction group. CONCLUSIONS Induction FOLFOX followed by PET-directed nCRT may result in better histopathologic response rates and DFS than either induction CP plus PET-directed nCRT or nCRT with CP alone.

Abstract
Neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) loss occurs in approximately 30% to 50% of diffuse pleural mesothelioma (DPM) with accumulation of yes-associated protein (YAP) 1 and transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) in tumor nuclei. NF2 and YAP/TAZ represent potential therapeutic targets. We investigated the performance of NF2-YAP/TAZ dual immunohistochemistry (IHC) in identifying DPM that harbors NF2 alterations and in distinguishing DPM from benign mesothelial proliferations. NF2-YAP/TAZ IHC was subsequently performed in a Discovery cohort of DPMs with (n = 10) or without (n = 10) NF2 alterations detected by next-generation sequencing (NGS) and 9 benign cases. The cutoff values for loss of NF2 expression and YAP/TAZ overexpression using IHC were determined in the Discovery cohort. The performance characteristics of NF2-YAP/TAZ IHC were investigated in a Validation cohort (20 DPMs and 10 benign cases). In the Discovery cohort, all DPMs with NF2 alterations using NGS showed NF2 IHC scores of <2, whereas all NF2-wild-type DPMs showed scores of ≥2. NF2-altered DPMs had significantly higher YAP/TAZ H-scores (P < .001) than NF2-wild-type DPM and benign pleura (median H-scores: 237.5 [range, 185-275], 130.0 [range, 40-225], and 10.0 [range, 0-75], respectively). NF2-YAP/TAZ IHC demonstrated 95.2% sensitivity, 100% specificity, 100% positive predictive value, and 95% negative predictive value for detecting NF2 alterations in DPM (n = 40) with NGS as the gold standard and 87.5% sensitivity and 100% specificity for distinguishing DPM (n = 40) from benign mesothelial proliferations (n = 19). NF2-YAP/TAZ IHC has a high sensitivity and specificity for detecting NF2 alterations in DPM and a high specificity for malignancy, highlighting potential utility for guiding NF2-targeted therapies and distinguishing DPM from benign mimics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Multimodality treatment for resectable non-small cell lung cancer has long remained at a therapeutic plateau. Immune checkpoint inhibitors are highly effective in advanced non-small cell lung cancer and promising preoperatively in small clinical trials for resectable non-small cell lung cancer. This large multicenter trial tested the safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant atezolizumab and surgery. METHODS Patients with stage IB to select IIIB resectable non-small cell lung cancer and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0/1 were eligible. Patients received atezolizumab 1200 mg intravenously every 3 weeks for 2 cycles or less followed by resection. The primary end point was major pathological response in patients without EGFR/ALK+ alterations. Pre- and post-treatment computed tomography, positron emission tomography, pulmonary function tests, and biospecimens were obtained. Adverse events were recorded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v.4.0. RESULTS From April 2017 to February 2020, 181 patients were entered in the study. Baseline characteristics were mean age, 65.1 years; female, 93 of 181 (51%); nonsquamous histology, 112 of 181 (62%); and clinical stages IIB to IIIB, 147 of 181 (81%). In patients without EGFR/ALK alterations who underwent surgery, the major pathological response rate was 20% (29/143; 95% confidence interval, 14-28) and the pathological complete response rate was 6% (8/143; 95% confidence interval, 2-11). There were no grade 4/5 treatment-related adverse events preoperatively. Of 159 patients (87.8%) undergoing surgery, 145 (91%) had pathologic complete resection. There were 5 (3%) intraoperative complications, no intraoperative deaths, and 2 postoperative deaths within 90 days, 1 treatment related. Median disease-free and overall survival have not been reached. CONCLUSIONS Neoadjuvant atezolizumab in resectable stage IB to IIIB non-small cell lung cancer was well tolerated, yielded a 20% major pathological response rate, and allowed safe, complete surgical resection. These results strongly support the further development of immune checkpoint inhibitors as preoperative therapy in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to evaluate the performance of 2 commonly used prediction models for postoperative morbidity in patients undergoing open and minimally invasive esophagectomy. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Patients undergoing esophagectomy have a high risk of postoperative complications. Accurate risk assessment in this cohort is important for informed decision-making. METHODS We identified patients who underwent esophagectomy between January 2016 and June 2018 from our prospectively maintained database. Predicted morbidity was calculated using the American College of Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program Surgical Risk Calculator (SRC) and a 5-factor National Surgical Quality Improvement Programderived frailty index. Performance was evaluated using concordance index (C-index) and calibration curves. RESULTS In total, 240 consecutive patients were included for analysis. Most patients (85%) underwent Ivor Lewis esophagectomy. The observed overall complication rate was 39%; the observed serious complication rate was 33%.The SRC did not identify risk of complications in the entire cohort (C-index, 0.553), patients undergoing open esophagectomy (C-index, 0.569), or patients undergoing minimally invasive esophagectomy (C-index, 0.542); calibration curves showed general underestimation. Discrimination of the SRC was lowest for reoperation (C-index, 0.533) and highest for discharge to a facility other than home (C-index, 0.728). Similarly, the frailty index had C-index of 0.513 for discriminating any complication, 0.523 for serious complication, and 0.559 for readmission. CONCLUSIONS SRC and frailty index did not adequately predict complications after esophagectomy. Procedure-specific risk-assessment tools are needed to guide shared patient-physician decision-making in this high-risk population.

Abstract
Background The attenuated, genetically engineered vaccinia virus has been shown to be a promising oncolytic virus for the treatment of patients with solid tumors, through both direct cytotoxic and immune-activating effects. Whereas systemically administered oncolytic viruses can be neutralized by pre-existing antibodies, locoregionally administered viruses can infect tumor cells and generate immune responses. We conducted a phase I clinical trial to investigate the safety, feasibility and immune activating effects of intrapleural administration of oncolytic vaccinia virus (NCT01766739). Methods Eighteen patients with malignant pleural effusion due to either malignant pleural mesothelioma or metastatic disease (non-small cell lung cancer or breast cancer) underwent intrapleural administration of the oncolytic vaccinia virus using a dose-escalating method, following drainage of malignant pleural effusion. The primary objective of this trial was to determine a recommended dose of attenuated vaccinia virus. The secondary objectives were to assess feasibility, safety and tolerability; evaluate viral presence in the tumor and serum as well as viral shedding in pleural fluid, sputum, and urine; and evaluate anti-vaccinia virus immune response. Correlative analyses were performed on body fluids, peripheral blood, and tumor specimens obtained from pre- and post-treatment timepoints. Results Treatment with attenuated vaccinia virus at the dose of 1.00E+07 plaque-forming units (PFU) to 6.00E+09 PFU was feasible and safe, with no treatment-associated mortalities or dose-limiting toxicities. Vaccinia virus was detectable in tumor cells 2-5 days post-treatment, and treatment was associated with a decrease in tumor cell density and an increase in immune cell density as assessed by a pathologist blinded to the clinical observations. An increase in both effector (CD8+, NK, cytotoxic cells) and suppressor (Tregs) immune cell populations was observed following treatment. Dendritic cell and neutrophil populations were also increased, and immune effector and immune checkpoint proteins (granzyme B, perforin, PD-1, PD-L1, and PD-L2) and cytokines (IFN-γ, TNF-α, TGFβ1 and RANTES) were upregulated. Conclusion The intrapleural administration of oncolytic vaccinia viral therapy is safe and feasible and generates regional immune response without overt systemic symptoms.

Abstract
Introduction Single-agent monoclonal antibody therapy against programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) has modest effects in malignant pleural mesothelioma. Radiation therapy can enhance the antitumor effects of immunotherapy. Nevertheless, the safety of combining anti-PD-L1 therapy with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is unknown. We present the results of a phase 1 trial to evaluate the safety of the anti-PD-L1 antibody avelumab plus SBRT in patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma. Methods This was a single-arm, investigator-initiated trial in patients who progressed on prior chemotherapy. Avelumab was delivered every other week, and SBRT was delivered to one lesion in three to five fractions (minimum of 30 Gy) followed by continuation of avelumab up to 24 months or until disease progression. The primary end point of the study was safety on the basis of grade 3+ nonhematologic adverse events (AEs) within 3 months of SBRT. Results Thirteen assessable patients received a median of seven cycles (range: 2-26 cycles) of avelumab. There were 27 grade 1, 17 grade 2, four grade 3, and no grade 4 or 5 avelumab-related AEs. The most common were infusion-related allergic reactions (n = 6), anorexia or weight loss (n = 6), fatigue (n = 6), thyroid disorders (n = 5), diarrhea (n = 3), and myalgia or arthralgias (n = 3). There were 10 grade 1, four grade 2, one grade 3, and no grade 4 or 5 SBRT-related AEs. The most common were diarrhea (n = 3), chest pain/myalgia (n = 2), fatigue (n = 2), cough (n = 2), dyspnea (n = 2), and nausea/vomiting (n = 2). Conclusions Combination avelumab plus SBRT seems tolerable on the basis of the prespecified toxicity end points of the first stage of this Simon two-stage design phase 1 study.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary pericardial mesothelioma (PPM) has no accepted standard-of-care treatment options with management and outcomes often extrapolated from diffuse pleural mesothelioma. Disease-specific research is needed to better define PPM. We report our institutional experience with PPM highlighting the potential role for multimodality therapy. METHODS Patients with PPM diagnosed by a multidisciplinary team of medical oncologists, thoracic surgeons, thoracic pathologists, and radiologists between January 2011 and January 2022 were followed to February 2022. Clinicopathologic features and treatment outcomes were annotated. Overall survival (OS) was defined from the date of pathologic diagnosis. RESULTS The median age at diagnosis of the 12 patients identified with having PPM was 51 (range: 21-71) years old. Most patients were of female sex (n = 8; 67%), 75% of the samples were epithelioid (n = 9), and 25% were nonepithelioid (two sarcomatoid and one biphasic). Most cases (92%, 11 of 12) had expression of at least two mesothelial markers on immunohistochemistry. The median OS of the cohort was 25.9 months. Five patients had an OS greater than 12 months; four of whom received pericardial radiation. Three of the patients who received radiation did so as part of a trimodality approach (surgical resection, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiation); the OS for patients who received trimodality therapy was 70.3 months versus 8.2 months for those who did not. CONCLUSIONS PPM represents a distinct disease with no universally accepted treatment options. Our findings suggest that trimodality therapy may improve outcomes in selected patients with PPM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diffuse pleural mesothelioma (DPM) is an aggressive malignancy that, despite recent treatment advances, has unacceptably poor outcomes. Therapeutic research in DPM is inhibited by a paucity of preclinical models that faithfully recapitulate the human disease. METHODS We established 22 patient-derived xenografts (PDX) from 22 patients with DPM and performed multi-omic analyses to deconvolute the mutational landscapes, global expression profiles, and molecular subtypes of these PDX models and compared features to those of the matched primary patient tumors. Targeted next-generation sequencing (NGS; MSK-IMPACT), immunohistochemistry, and histologic subtyping were performed on all available samples. RNA sequencing was performed on all available PDX samples. Clinical outcomes and treatment history were annotated for all patients. Platinum-doublet progression-free survival (PFS) was determined from the start of chemotherapy until radiographic/clinical progression and grouped into < or ≥ 6 months. RESULTS PDX models were established from both treatment naïve and previously treated samples and were noted to closely resemble the histology, genomic landscape, and proteomic profiles of the parent tumor. After establishing the validity of the models, transcriptomic analyses demonstrated overexpression in WNT/β-catenin, hedgehog, and TGF-β signaling and a consistent suppression of immune-related signaling in PDXs derived from patients with worse clinical outcomes. CONCLUSIONS These data demonstrate that DPM PDX models closely resemble the genotype and phenotype of parental tumors, and identify pathways altered in DPM for future exploration in preclinical studies.

Abstract
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) sequencing guides therapy decisions but has been studied mostly in small cohorts without sufficient follow-up to determine its influence on overall survival. We prospectively followed an international cohort of 1,127 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer and ctDNA-guided therapy. ctDNA detection was associated with shorter survival (hazard ratio (HR), 2.05; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.74-2.42; P < 0.001) independently of clinicopathologic features and metabolic tumor volume. Among the 722 (64%) patients with detectable ctDNA, 255 (23%) matched to targeted therapy by ctDNA sequencing had longer survival than those not treated with targeted therapy (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.52-0.76; P < 0.001). Genomic alterations in ctDNA not detected by time-matched tissue sequencing were found in 25% of the patients. These ctDNA-only alterations disproportionately featured subclonal drivers of resistance, including RICTOR and PIK3CA alterations, and were associated with short survival. Minimally invasive ctDNA profiling can identify heterogeneous drivers not captured in tissue sequencing and expand community access to life-prolonging therapy.

Abstract
In an ongoing, open-label, single-arm phase II study ( NCT02927301 ), 181 patients with untreated, resectable, stage IB-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer received two doses of neoadjuvant atezolizumab monotherapy. The primary end point was major pathological response (MPR; ≤10% viable malignant cells) in resected tumors without EGFR or ALK alterations. Of the 143 patients in the primary end point analysis, the MPR was 20% (95% confidence interval, 14-28%). With a minimum duration of follow-up of 3 years, the 3-year survival rate of 80% was encouraging. The most common adverse events during the neoadjuvant phase were fatigue (39%, 71 of 181) and procedural pain (29%, 53 of 181), along with expected immune-related toxicities; there were no unexpected safety signals. In exploratory analyses, MPR was predicted using the pre-treatment peripheral blood immunophenotype based on 14 immune cell subsets. Immune cell subsets predictive of MPR in the peripheral blood were also identified in the tumor microenvironment and were associated with MPR. This study of neoadjuvant atezolizumab in a large cohort of patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer was safe and met its primary end point of MPR ≥ 15%. Data from this single-arm, non-randomized trial suggest that profiles of innate immune cells in pre-treatment peripheral blood may predict pathological response after neoadjuvant atezolizumab, but additional studies are needed to determine whether these profiles can inform patient selection and new therapeutic approaches.

Abstract
During the past 50 years, there has been a remarkable transformation in the management of lung and esophageal cancers. Improved methods of diagnosis, better staging and patient selection for surgery, the advent of minimally invasive approaches to resection, decreasing operative mortality, greater insights into tumor biology, and the development of effective multimodality therapies and precision medicine have contributed to this transformation. Progress has been most notable in lung cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Local therapy prolongs progression-free survival in patients with oligometastatic non-small-cell lung cancers treated with chemotherapy. We previously reported that local therapy also prolongs survival and time to next therapy in patients on tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) for EGFR-mutant lung adenocarcinomas. Here, we investigate the role of local therapy in patients progressing on TKIs for ALK/ROS1/RET-rearranged lung adenocarcinomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with advanced ALK/ROS/RET-rearranged lung adenocarcinomas who underwent radiation, surgery, or percutaneous thermal ablation from 2012 to 2020 for progression on an ALK/ROS1/RET TKI were included. Progression patterns were identified. Times from local therapy to progression, next therapy, and death were measured. RESULTS Sixty-one patients with ALK (n = 37), ROS1 (n = 12), and RET (n = 12) fusions were identified. Patients received radiotherapy (92%), surgery (13%), and percutaneous thermal ablation (8%). Local therapy was administered for solitary/oligoprogressive (94%) or polyprogressive (6%) disease. For most patients (85%), local therapy addressed all progressing sites. The median times from any local therapy to subsequent progression and next systemic therapy were 6.8 months (95% CI, 5.1 to 8.1) and 10 months (95% CI, 8.4 to 15.3), respectively. Third or greater local therapy was associated with shorter time to progression and next therapy than first/second local therapies (hazard ratio, 4.97; P < .001 and hazard ratio, 2.48; P < .001). The median overall survival from first local therapy was 34 months (95% CI, 26 to not reached). CONCLUSION Local therapy for progression on ALK, ROS1, or RET TKIs is associated with clinically meaningful time on continued TKI therapy beyond progression, especially earlier in the course of disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Clinical patterns and the associated optimal management of acquired resistance to PD-(L)1 blockade are poorly understood. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN All cases of metastatic lung cancer treated with PD-(L)1 blockade at Memorial Sloan Kettering were reviewed. In acquired resistance (complete/partial response per RECIST, followed by progression), clinical patterns were distinguished as oligo (OligoAR ≤ 3 lesions of disease progression) or systemic (sAR). We analyzed the relationships between patient characteristics, burden/location of disease, outcomes, and efficacy of therapeutic interventions. RESULTS Of 1,536 patients, 312 (20%) had an initial response and 143 developed AR (9% overall, 46% of responders). OligoAR was the most common pattern (80/143, 56%). Baseline tumor mutational burden, depth of response, and duration of response were significantly increased in oligoAR compared with sAR (P < 0.001, P = 0.03, P = 0.04, respectively), whereas baseline PD-L1 and tumor burden were similar. Post-progression, oligoAR was associated with improved overall survival (median 28 months vs. 10 months, P < 0.001) compared with sAR. Within oligoAR, post-progression survival was greater among patients treated with locally-directed therapy (e.g., radiation, surgery; HR, 0.41; P = 0.039). Fifty-eight percent of patients with oligoAR treated with locally-directed therapy alone are progression-free at last follow-up (median 16 months), including 13 patients who are progression-free more than 2 years after local therapy. CONCLUSIONS OligoAR is a common and distinct pattern of acquired resistance to PD-(L)1 blockade compared with sAR. OligoAR is associated with improved post-progression survival and some cases can be effectively managed with local therapies with durable benefit.

Abstract
Introduction Anatomical resection-often by lobectomy-is the standard of care for patients with early stage NSCLC. With increased diagnosis, survival, and prevalence of persons with early stage NSCLC, the incidence of second primary NSCLC, and consequently, the need for contralateral lobectomy for a metachronous cancer, is increasing. Perioperative outcomes after contralateral lobectomy are unknown. Methods Among patients who underwent contralateral lobectomy for second primary NSCLC during 1995 to 2020, we evaluated 90-day mortality and major morbidity (Clavien-Dindo grades 3-5) rates and their association with clinicopathologic variables, including the year of contralateral lobectomy and duration between lobectomies. Results A total of 98 patients underwent contralateral lobectomy for second primary NSCLC; 51 during an early time period (1995-2009) and 47 from a late time period (2010-2020). There were five mortalities and 23 patients with major morbidities after contralateral lobectomy; both rates decreased in 2010 to 2020 compared with 1995 to 2009 (mortality 10%-0%, major morbidity 35%-11%). Major morbidity was associated with an interval of less than 1 year between lobectomies, a diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide <80%, and right lower lobe resections. Mortality was associated with squamous cell carcinoma. Patients who underwent contralateral lobectomy for stage I NSCLC had 74% (95% confidence interval: 64%-85%) 3-year overall survival and 15% (95% confidence interval: 6.5%-24%) 3-year lung cancer cumulative incidence of death. Conclusions Contralateral lobectomy for second primary early stage NSCLC was associated with poor outcomes before 2010. Since 2010, perioperative and long-term outcomes of contralateral lobectomy have been comparable with reported outcomes after unilateral lobectomy.

Abstract
TPS8596 Background: Comprehensive genomic profiling (CGP) has transformed the care of patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), giving many patients access to precision targeted treatment and immunotherapy with remarkable improvements in outcomes. Studies show that patients with lung cancers with oncogenic drivers are the least likely group to benefit from checkpoint inhibitors and are better served by enrollment in studies of targeted therapies. Early-stage NSCLC is now poised to benefit from these precision approaches with the regulatory approval of the first tyrosine kinase inhibitors and checkpoint inhibitors for the adjuvant treatment of resected NSCLC, each requiring testing for precision biomarkers. Neoadjuvant precision therapy for NSCLC has the potential to further improve treatment outcomes. Methods: The LCMC4 Evaluation of Actionable Drivers in EaRly Stage Lung Cancer (LEADER) Neoadjuvant Screening Trial (NCT04712877) is a collaborative diagnostic study developed by the Lung Cancer Mutation Consortium (LCMC), supported by the Thoracic Surgery Oncology Group and the Lung Cancer Research Foundation. The primary objective is to determine the proportion of patients with stage IA2-III lung cancers who possess actionable oncogenic drivers, defined as 1 of 11 actionable genomic alterations: mutations in EGFR, BRAFV600E, MET exon 14, KRAS G12C, and HER2, rearrangements in ALK, RET, NTRK, and ROS1, and amplification of MET and HER2. The study will also assess the feasibility of CGP to detect actionable oncogenic drivers in patients with suspected early-stage lung cancers scheduled to undergo biopsies to establish the diagnosis of lung cancer. The protocol will enroll 1000 patients with operable stage IA2-III (TNM 8th edition) lung cancer who will undergo CGP utilizing the Foundation Medicine 324 gene assay as well as paired liquid biopsy analysis. Results will enable selection of neoadjuvant therapy and enrollment onto independent therapeutic trials with genomically matched neoadjuvant treatment, standard therapies, or other trials if no driver is detected. The approach will be considered feasible if >35% of non-squamous NSCLCs have 1 of the 11 actionable alterations. Tumor mutational burden and PD-L1 IHC will be assessed. Plasma specimens collected pre- and post neoadjuvant treatment and post-surgery will be used for research to study the ability of circulating tumor DNA to assess neoadjuvant treatment response and minimal residual disease. 26 academic sites in the US plan to enroll patients. Clinical trial information: NCT04712877.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to quantify and characterize long-term consequences of pneumonectomy, with particular attention to nononcologic mortality. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Pneumonectomy is associated with profound changes in cardiopulmonary physiology. Studies of long-term outcomes after pneumonectomy typically report generalized measures, such as disease-free and overall survival. METHODS Patients undergoing lobectomy or pneumonectomy for lung cancer at our institution from 2000 to 2018 were reviewed. Propensity-score matching was performed for 12 clinicopathologic factors. Ninety-day complications and deaths were compared. Five-year cumulative incidence of oncologic and nononcologic mortality were compared using competing risks approaches. RESULTS From 3339 lobectomy and 355 pneumonectomy patients identified, we derived 318 matched pairs. At 90 days, rates of overall complications were similar (46% for pneumonectomy vs 43% for lobectomy; P = 0.40), but rates of major complications (21% vs 13%; P = 0.005) and deaths (6.9% vs 1.9%; P = 0.002) were higher the pneumonectomy cohort. The cumulative incidence of oncologic mortality was not significantly different between cohorts (P = 0.9584). However, the cumulative incidence of nononcologic mortality was substantially higher in the pneumonectomy cohort for both date of surgery and 1-year landmark analyses (P < 0.0001 and P = 0.0002, respectively). Forty-five pneumonectomy patients (18%) died of nononcologic causes 1-5 years after surgery; pneumonia (n = 21) and myocardial infarction (n = 10) were the most common causes. In pneumonectomy patients, preexisting cardiac comorbidity and low diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide were predictive of nononcologic mortality. CONCLUSIONS Compared to lobectomy, excess mortality after pneumonectomy extends beyond 1 year and is driven primarily by nononcologic causes. Pneumonectomy patients require lifelong monitoring and may benefit from expeditious assessment and intervention at the initial signs of illness.
