Procedure-Specific Risk Prediction for Recurrence in Patients Undergoing Lobectomy or Sublobar Resection for Small (?2 cm) Lung Adenocarcinoma: An International Cohort Analysis.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:This work was performed to develop and validate procedure-specific risk prediction for recurrence following resection for early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) and investigate risk prediction utility in identifying patients who may benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy (ACT). METHODS:In patients who underwent resection for small (?2 cm) lung ADC (lobectomy, 557; sublobar resection, 352), an association between clinicopathologic variables and risk of recurrence was assessed by a competing risks approach. Procedure-specific risk prediction was developed based on multivariable regression for recurrence. External validation was conducted using cohorts (N = 708) from Japan, Taiwan, and Germany. The accuracy of risk prediction was measured using a concordance index. We applied the lobectomy risk prediction approach to a propensity score-matched cohort of patients with stage II-III disease (n = 316, after matching) with or without ACT and compared lung cancer-specific survival between groups among low- or high-risk scores. RESULTS:Micropapillary pattern, solid pattern, lymphovascular invasion, and necrosis were involved in the risk prediction following lobectomy, and micropapillary pattern, spread through air spaces, lymphovascular invasion, and necrosis following sublobar resection. Both internal and external validation showed good discrimination (concordance index in lobectomy and sublobar resection: internal, 0.77 and 0.75, respectively; and external, 0.73 and 0.79, respectively). In the stage II-III propensity score-matched cohort, among high-risk patients, ACT significantly reduced the risk of lung cancer-specific death (subhazard ratio 0.43, p = 0.001), but not among low-risk patients. CONCLUSIONS:Procedure-specific risk prediction for patients with resected small lung ADC can be used to better prognosticate and stratify patients for further interventions.

Project description:Background To investigate postoperative temporary consequences of the enrolled patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Patients and Methods We analyzed the clinical data of patients with lung adenocarcinoma admitted by the same surgical team of Peking Union Medical College Hospital (PUMCH) from July 2019 to December 2019. Statistical methods including propensity score matching (PSM) analysis was used to analyze the differences among them. Results A total of 108 patients were enrolled, including 50 patients with sublobar resection and 58 patients with lobectomy. Before PSM, there were statistically significant differences in age (p=0.015), hospitalization costs (p=0.042), lymphadenectomy (p=0.000), pathological staging (p=0.000), number of lymph nodes removed (p=0.000), number of positive lymph nodes (p=0.034), chest drainage duration (p=0.000), total chest drainage (p=0.000), length of postoperative hospital stays (p=0.000), postoperative D-dimer level (p=0.030) and perioperative lymphocyte margin (LM) (p=0.003) between sublobar resection and lobectomy. After PSM, there were statistical differences in number of lymph nodes removed (p=0.000), chest drainage duration (p=0.031) and total chest drainage (p=0.002) between sublobar resection and lobectomy. Whether with PSM analysis or not, there were no significant differences in other blood test results, such as inflammation indicators, postoperative neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), albumin level, perioperative activity of daily living (ADL) scale scoring margin, complications, postoperative admission to intensive care unit (ICU) and readmission within 30 days. NLR was associated with total chest drainage (p=0.000), length of postoperative hospital stays (p=0.000), postoperative D-dimer level (p=0.050) and ADL scale scoring margin (p=0.003) between sublobar resection and lobectomy. Conclusion Sublobar resection, including wedge resection and segmentectomy, was as safe and feasible as lobectomy in our study, and they shared similar short-term outcomes. Postoperative NLR could be used to detect the clinical outcomes of patients. Secondary resectability of pulmonary function (SRPF) should be the main purpose of sublobar resection.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Spread through air spaces (STAS) is a form of invasion wherein tumor cells extend beyond the tumor edge within the lung parenchyma. In lung adenocarcinoma (ADC), we investigated the (1) association between STAS and procedure-specific outcomes (sublobar resection and lobectomy), (2) effect of surgical margin-to-tumor diameter ratio in STAS-positive patients, and (3) potential utility of frozen sections (FSs) for detecting STAS intraoperatively. METHODS:We investigated 1497 patients who underwent lobectomy (n = 970) or sublobar resection (n = 527) for T1N0M0 lung ADC after propensity score matching. Outcomes were analyzed by using a competing risks approach. The effect of margin-to-tumor ratio on recurrence pattern (locoregional and distant) was investigated in patients who underwent sublobar resection. Five pathologists evaluated the feasibility of intraoperatively identifying STAS by using FSs (sensitivity, specificity, and interrater reliability). RESULTS:On multivariable analysis after propensity score matching (349 pairs/procedure), sublobar resection was significantly associated with recurrence (subhazard ratio = 2.84 [p < 0.001]) and lung cancer-specific death (subhazard ratio = 2.63 [p = 0.021]) in patients with STAS but not in those without STAS. Patients with STAS who underwent sublobar resection had a higher risk of locoregional recurrence regardless of margin-to-tumor ratio (for a margin-to-tumor ratio of ?1 versus <1, the 5-year cumulative incidence of recurrence rates were 16% and 25%, respectively); among patients without STAS, locoregional recurrences occurred in patients with margin-to-tumor ratio lower than 1 (a 5-year cumulative incidence of recurrence rate of 7%). The sensitivity and specificity for detecting STAS by use of FSs were 71% and 92%, with substantial interrater reliability (Gwet's AC1, 0.67). CONCLUSIONS:In patients with T1 lung ADC with STAS, lobectomy was associated with better outcomes than sublobar resection was. Pathologists can recognize STAS on FSs.
