Quantitative Computed Tomography Features for Predicting Tumor Recurrence in Patients with Surgically Resected Adenocarcinoma of the Lung.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to determine if preoperative quantitative computed tomography (CT) features including texture and histogram analysis measurements are associated with tumor recurrence in patients with surgically resected adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Methods

The study included 194 patients with surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma who underwent preoperative CT between January 2013 and December 2013. Quantitative CT feature analysis of the lung adenocarcinomas were performed using in-house software based on plug-in package for ImageJ. Ten quantitative features demonstrating the tumor size, attenuation, shape and texture were extracted. The CT parameters obtained from 1-mm and 5-mm data were compared using intraclass correlation coefficients. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression methods were used to investigate the association between tumor recurrence and preoperative CT findings.

Results

The 1-mm and 5-mm data were highly correlated in terms of diameter, perimeter, area, mean attenuation and entropy. Circularity and aspect ratio were moderately correlated. However, skewness and kurtosis were poorly correlated. Multivariable logistic regression analysis revealed that area (odds ratio [OR], 1.002 for each 1-mm2 increase; P = 0.003) and mean attenuation (OR, 1.005 for each 1.0-Hounsfield unit increase; P = 0.022) were independently associated with recurrence. The receiver operating curves using these two independent predictive factors showed high diagnostic performance in predicting recurrence (C-index = 0.81, respectively).

Conclusion

Tumor area and mean attenuation are independently associated with recurrence in patients with surgically resected adenocarcinoma of the lung.

Project description:Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a heterogeneous disease. Our study aimed to understand the unique molecular features of preinvasive to invasive LUAD subtypes. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical, histopathological, and molecular data of 3,254 Chinese patients with preinvasive lesions (n = 252), minimally invasive adenocarcinomas (n = 479), and invasive LUAD (n = 2,523). Molecular data were elucidated using a targeted 68-gene next-generation sequencing panel. Our findings revealed four preinvasive lesion-predominant gene mutations, including MAP2K1 insertion-deletions (indels), BRAF non-V600E kinase mutations, and exon 20 insertions (20ins) in both EGFR and ERBB2, which we referred to as mutations enriched in AIS (MEA). The detection rate of MEA in invasive tumors was relatively lower. MAP2K1 missense mutations, which were likely passenger mutations, co-occurred with oncogenic driver mutations, while small indels were mutually exclusive from other genes regardless of the invasion level. BRAF non-V600E kinase-mutant invasive adenocarcinomas (IAC) had significantly higher mutation rates in tumor suppressor genes but lower frequency of co-occurring oncogenic driver mutations than non-kinase-mutant IAC, suggesting the potential oncogenic activity of BRAF non-V600E kinase mutations albeit weaker than BRAF V600E. Moreover, similar to the extremely low frequency of MAP2K1 indels in IAC, BRAF non-V600E kinase domain mutations co-occurring with TSC1 mutations were exclusively found in preinvasive lesions. Compared with EGFR L858R and exon 19 deletion, patients with preinvasive lesions harboring 20ins in either EGFR or ERBB2 were significantly younger, while those with IAC had similar age. Furthermore, our study demonstrated distinct mutational features for subtypes of oncogene mutations favored by different invasion patterns in adenocarcinomas. In conclusion, our data demonstrate distinct mutational features between preinvasive lesions and invasive tumors with MEA, suggesting the involvement of MEA in the early stages of tumorigenesis. Further pre-clinical studies are required to establish the role of these genes in the malignant transformation of LUAD.

Project description:BACKGROUND:A number of mutations in key oncogenes have been identified as important for the initiation and maintenance of lung adenocarcinoma (LAC). This study elucidated the prevalence and prognostic significance of mutations in the epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) and rearrangements in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase gene (ALK) in patients with surgically resected primary LAC. PATIENTS AND METHODS:We retrospectively analyzed 675 consecutive patients who underwent radical resection at a single institution. We concurrently analyzed mutations in EGFR and the Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog gene (KRAS) by reverse transcription (RT)-PCR, and investigated ALK rearrangements by immunohistochemistry. LAC with or without various oncogenic mutations was studied for clinicopathological features and their association with disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). RESULT:ALK rearrangements and EGFR mutations were detected in 75 and 312 patients, respectively, with coexistence in 5 cases. ALK rearrangements and mutations in EGFR and KRAS were mutually exclusive. Compared with patients with EGFR mutations, ALK rearrangements were more common in younger patients, and those with advanced tumors, lymph node metastases, and higher rates of postoperative adjuvant therapy. Histologically, EGFR mutations were more common than ALK rearrangements in patients with the acinar predominant subtype and the lepidic predominant subtype of LAC, whereas ALK rearrangements were more frequent in the solid predominant subtype with mucin production and invasive mucinous adenocarcinomas. ALK-positive patients had a significantly worse DFS than those with EGFR mutations and wild-type (WT) patients. The mean OS after surgical procedures was significantly longer in EGFR-mutated versus WT patients. No significant differences were found in patients with ALK-positive tumors compared with EGFR-mutated and WT patients. CONCLUSION:Clinicopathological features of LAC with ALK rearrangements differ from those of LAC with EGFR mutations. Patients with ALK rearrangements had a significantly worse DFS than those harboring EGFR mutations. Thus, ALK rearrangements are an adverse prognostic factor in surgically-resected LAC patients, while EGFR mutations are associated with a better prognosis.
