Radiologic Predictors for Clinical Stage IA Lung Adenocarcinoma with Ground Glass Components: A Multi-Center Study of Long-Term Outcomes.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:This study was to define preoperative predictors from radiologic findings for the pathologic risk groups based on long-term surgical outcomes, in the aim to help guide individualized patient management. METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed 321 consecutive patients with clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma with ground glass component on computed tomography (CT) scanning. Pathologic diagnosis for resection specimens was based on the 2011 IASLC/ATS/ERS classification of lung adenocarcinoma. Patients were classified into different pathologic risk grading groups based on their lymph node status, local regional recurrence and overall survival. Radiologic characteristics of the pulmonary nodules were re-evaluated by reconstructed three-dimension CT (3D-CT). Univariate and multivariate analysis identifies independent radiologic predictors from tumor diameter, total volume (TV), average CT value (AVG), and solid-to-tumor (S/T) ratio. Receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC) studies were carried out to determine the cutoff value(s) for the predictor(s). Univariate cox regression model was used to determine the clinical significance of the above findings. RESULTS:A total of 321 patients with clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma with ground glass components were included in our study. Patients were classified into two pathologic low- and high- risk groups based on their distinguished surgical outcomes. A total of 134 patients fell into the low-risk group. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified AVG (HR: 32.210, 95% CI: 3.020-79.689, P<0.001) and S/T ratio (HR: 12.212, 95% CI: 5.441-27.408, P<0.001) as independent predictors for pathologic risk grading. ROC curves studies suggested the optimal cut-off values for AVG and S/T ratio were-198 (area under the curve [AUC] 0.921), 2.9 (AUC 0.996) and 54% (AUC 0.907), respectively. The tumor diameter and TV were excluded for the low AUCs (0.778 and 0.767). Both the cutoff values of AVG and S/T ratio were correlated with pathologic risk classification (p<0.001). Univariate Cox regression model identified clinical risk classification (RR: 3.011, 95%CI: 0.796-7.882, P = 0.095) as a good predictor for recurrence-free survival (RFS) in patients with clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. Statistical significance of 5-year OS and RFS was noted among clinical low-, moderate- and high-risk groups (log-rank, p = 0.024 and 0.010). CONCLUSIONS:The AVG and the S/T ratio by reconstructed 3D-CT are important preoperative radiologic predictors for pathologic risk grading. The two cutoff values of AVG and S/T ratio are recommended in decision-making for patients with clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma with ground glass components.

Project description:BackgroundThe prognostic value of ground glass opacity (GGO) in stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been widely recognized. However, studies investigating its value in the related stage IB-IIA lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains lacking. The impact of adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT) on pathological stage IB-IIA LUAD is also controversial.Materials and methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical records of 501 patients with pathological stage IB-IIA LUAD at the Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center from January 2008 to June 2018. We calculated and compared survival curves using the Kaplan-Meier test and log-rank test. Cox regression models were performed to determine independent prognostic factors of disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). We established nomograms to predict the OS and DFS of LUAD patients. Calibration and receiver operator characteristic curves were conducted to assess the predictive performance of two nomograms. Based on the nomogram, we identified candidate patients that may most benefit from ACT after surgery.ResultsThe number of patients with pure solid, part GGO, and pure GGO nodules was 240, 242, and 19, respectively, and 125 patients who received ACT. Patients with consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR) <0.75 had longer OS (P = 0.026) and DFS (P = 0.003). Pathological tumor size and at least 10 lymph nodes (LNs) resection were independent prognostic factors of both OS and DFS. CTR <0.75 was positively associated with DFS. The C-index of nomograms predicting individual OS and DFS was 0.660 and 0.634, respectively. Based on the nomogram for OS, ACT was found to be a positive prognostic indicator of OS (P = 0.031, HR = 0.5141, 95% CI 0.281-0.942) in patients with nomogram total points ≥5.ConclusionCTR <0.75 is associated with a better DFS in patients with stage IB-IIA LUAD. Nomograms developed by integrating pathological tumor size, at least 10 LNs resection, and CTR ≥0.75 for predicting individual OS and DFS displayed a good predictive capacity and clinical value, which were also proved to be a useful tool for selecting patients most benefiting from ACT.

Project description:BackgroundPatients with consistent lung pure ground-glass nodules (pGGNs) have a high incidence of lung adenocarcinoma that can be classified as adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS), minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA), or invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC). Regular follow-up is recommended for AIS and MIA, while surgical resection should be considered for IAC. This study sought to develop a multi-parameter prediction model to increase the diagnostic accuracy in discriminating between IAC and AIS or MIA.MethodsThe training data set comprised consecutive patients with lung pGGNs who underwent resection from January to December 2017 at the Zhongshan Hospital. Of the 370 resected pGGNs, 344 were pathologically confirmed to be AIS, MIA, or IAC and were included in the study. The 26 benign pGGNs were excluded. We compared differences in the clinical features (e.g., age and gender), the content of serum tumor biomarkers, the computed tomography (CT) parameters (e.g., nodule size and the maximal CT value), and the morphologic characteristics of nodules (e.g., lobulation, spiculation, pleura indentation, vacuole sign, and normal vessel penetration or abnormal vessel) between the pathological subtypes of AIS, MIA, and IAC. An abnormal vessel was defined as "vessel curve" or "vessel enlargement". Statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square test, analysis of variance (ANOVA), and rank test. The IAC prediction model was constructed via a multivariate logistical regression. Our prediction model for lung pGGNs was further validated in a data set comprising consecutive patients from multiple medical centers in China from July to December 2018. In total, 345 resected pGGNs were pathologically diagnosed as lung adenocarcinoma in the validation data set.ResultsIn the training data set, patients with pGGNs ≥10 mm in size had a high incidence (74.5%) of IAC. The maximal CT value of IAC [-416.1±121.2 Hounsfield unit (HU)] was much higher than that of MIA (-507.7±138.0 HU) and AIS (-602.6±93.3 HU) (P<0.001). IAC was more common in pGGNs that displayed any of the following CT manifestations: lobulation, spiculation, pleura indentation, vacuole sign, and vessel abnormality. The IAC prediction model was constructed using the parameters that were assessed as risk factors (i.e., the nodule size, maximal CT value, and CT signs). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) of this model for diagnosing IAC was 0.910, which was higher than that of the AUC for nodule size alone (0.891) or the AUC for the maximal CT value alone (0.807) (P<0.05, respectively). A multicenter validation data set was used to validate the performance of our prediction model in diagnosing IAC, and our model was found to have an AUC of 0.883, which was higher than that of the AUC of 0.827 for the module size alone model or the AUC of 0.791 for the maximal CT value alone model (P<0.05, respectively).ConclusionsOur multi-parameter prediction model was more accurate at diagnosing IAC than models that used only nodule size or the maximal CT value alone. Thus, it is an efficient tool for identifying the IAC of malignant pGGNs and deciding if surgery is needed.

Project description:ObjectivesThis study aimed to construct prediction models based on computerized tomography (CT) signs, histogram and morphology features for the diagnosis of micropapillary or solid (MIP/SOL) components of stage IA lung adenocarcinoma (LUAC) and to evaluate the models' performance.MethodsThis clinical retrospective study included image data of 376 patients with stage IA LUAC based on postoperative pathology, admitted to Putian First Hospital from January 2019 to June 2023. According to the presence of MIP/SOL components in postoperative pathology, patients were divided into MIP/SOL+ and MIP/SOL- groups. Cases with tumors ≤ 3 cm and ≤ 2 cm were separately analyzed. Each subgroup of patients was then randomly divided into a training set and a test set in a ratio of 7:3. The training set was used to build the prediction model, and the test set was used for internal validation.ResultsFor tumors ≤ 3 cm, ground-glass opacity (GGO) [odds ratio (OR) = 0.244; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.103-0.569; p = 0.001], entropy (OR = 1.748; 95% CI: 1.213-2.577; p = 0.004), average CT value (OR = 1.002; 95% CI: 1.000-1.004; p = 0.002), and kurtosis (OR = 1.240; 95% CI: 1.023-1.513; p = 0.030) were independent predictors of MIP/SOL components of stage IA LUAC. The area under the ROC curve (AUC) of the nomogram prediction model for predicting MIP/SOL components was 0.816 (95% CI: 0.756-0.877) in the training set and 0.789 (95% CI: 0.689-0.889) in the test set. In contrast, for tumors ≤ 2 cm, kurtosis was no longer an independent predictor. The nomogram prediction model had an AUC of 0.811 (95% CI: 0.731-0.891) in the training set and 0.833 (95% CI: 0.733-0.932) in the test set.ConclusionFor tumors ≤ 3 cm and ≤ 2 cm, GGO, average CT value, and entropy were the same independent influencing factors in predicting MIP/SOL components of stage IA LUAC. The nomogram prediction models have potential diagnostic value for identifying MIP/SOL components of early-stage LUAC.
