Project description:BackgroundInvasive pure ground-glass opacity and pre-invasive pure ground-glass opacity have different 5-year overall survival rate and risk of lymph node metastasis and the extent of resection. It is difficult to discriminate these nodules since they share similar CT features and may occur concurrently. The objectives of this study were to investigate the feasibility of non-contrast enhanced plus contrast-enhanced computed tomography in discriminating invasive pure ground-glass opacity from pre-invasive pure ground-glass opacity.MethodsWe retrospectively examined 90 patients with pure ground-glass opacity who underwent non-contrast enhanced and contrast-enhanced CT according to a simplified protocol (one non-contrast enhanced measurement and two contrast-enhanced measurements at 30?s and 60?s after contrast injection) from 2015 to 2019. All imaging examinations were analyzed using three-dimensional computer-aided volume. Two independent samples t tests, one-way analysis of variance, chi-square test and logistic regression were used for analysis. A receiver operating characteristic curve was used to determine the optimal cut-off value of mean CT attenuation for differentiation of groups and to obtain diagnostic value.Results(1) The CT values of one non-contrast-enhanced, two contrast-enhanced and volume measurements between two groups had statistically significant differences (P <?0.001). (2) At the 30-s scan, there were more nodules in the pre-invasive group with no enhancement than in the pre-invasive group, which was statistically significant. (3) The CT value of 60-s scan was independent predictor of invasive adenocarcinoma (P =?0.019).ConclusionsNon-contrast enhanced plus two contrast-enhanced CT based on volume measurements can differentiate invasive pGGO from pre-invasive pGGO.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Lobectomy plus lymph node dissection is the standard treatment of early-stage lung cancer, but the low lymph node metastasis rate with ground-glass opacity (GGO) makes surgeons not perform lymphadenectomy. This study aimed to re-evaluate the lymph node metastasis rate of GGO to help make a clinical judgment. METHODS:We performed this retrospective study to enroll patients who received lung cancer surgery from 2011 to 2016. Patient characteristics collected included tumor size, solid part size and lymph node metastasis rate. These patients were categorized into pure GGO and part solid GGO groups to undergo analysis. RESULTS:Lymph node metastasis rates were 0%, 3.8% and 6.9% in order of the pure GGO group, the GGO predominant group and the solid predominant group. In the lobectomy patients, the solid predominant group still showed to have the highest lymph node metastasis rate and recurrence rate (8.3% and 10.1%). CONCLUSION:It is unnecessary to perform lymphadenectomy for patients with pure GGO in view of the 0% lymph node metastasis rate. The higher lymph node metastasis rate in the patients with the solid predominant group, 6.9%, suggested that surgeons should choose a rational lymphadenectomy method according to their GGO property and clinical judgment.

Project description:BackgroundIncreasing evidence suggests that ground-glass opacity featured lung adenocarcinoma (GGO-LUAD) and pure solid-LUAD have significantly different tumor biological behaviors; the former is usually indolent. Genetic variations fundamentally contribute to this distinct tumor behaviors. This study aims to investigate and compare the gene mutations using next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology in these two subtypes of LUAD.MethodsThe clinical data and gene testing results of 46 patients suffering from LUAD with a histologically invasive subtype ≤3 cm and operated in the Thoracic Surgery Department of Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from May 2019 to December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed; a case-control study was performed to compare the pathological and genetic differences between LUAD with a GGO component and pure solid-LUAD.ResultsNotable differences existed in vascular invasion, tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) and high-risk histological subtypes (micropapillary or solid subtypes) between the two types of LUAD with similar histologically invasive size. No significant difference was found in the mutation frequency of EGFR and KRAS. However, gene mutations were more prevalent in the cell cycle and TP53 signaling pathway for solid-LUAD. A significant difference was found in the mutation frequency of the tumor suppressor genes TP53 and CDKN2A between the two types.ConclusionsThe wild-type TP53 and CDKN2A genes could potentially be used as molecular indicators for indolent LUAD characterized by GGO-featured.

Project description:BackgroundThe suitability of sublobar resection as a surgical approach for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. This study investigated the feasibility of sublobar resection in patients with pathological-stage IA adenocarcinoma less than 2 cm characterized by a high-risk pathological subtype but exhibiting radiologically noninvasive features.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective review of patients diagnosed with pathological stage IA lung adenocarcinoma who underwent surgical intervention between 2013 and 2017. The inclusion criteria included a maximum tumor diameter of 2.0 cm or less, a consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR) of 0.25 or less, and a histopathological confirmation of a solid or micropapillary component. Patients were categorized into sublobar resection and lobectomy groups, and propensity score matching was employed to mitigate potential confounders. The primary endpoints were lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) and overall survival (OS).ResultsThe study comprised 149 patients, with 84 in the lobectomy group and 65 in the limited resection group. In the overall cohort, the 5-year LCSS was 100% for both groups, while the 5-year OS was 97.6% (95% CI: 94.41-100.00%) in the lobectomy group and 100% in the sublobar resection group (P=0.21). After propensity score matching, the LCSS remained at 100% for both groups, and the 5-year OS was 97.14% in the lobectomy group and 100% in the sublobar resection group (P=0.32).ConclusionsBased on our experience, for lung adenocarcinoma containing solid/micropapillary subtype, a size less than 2 cm, and a CTR ≤0.25, the oncological outcomes appeared to be comparable between sublobar resection and lobectomy, suggesting that sublobar resection might serve as an equivalent alternative to lobectomy for such lesions.

Project description:BackgroundAlthough subcentimeter nodules represent precursor or minimally invasive lung cancer in most cases, there are still a few that are subcentimeter invasive adenocarcinoma (IAC). The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic effect of ground-glass opacity (GGO) and the optimal surgical procedure in this special group.MethodsPatients with subcentimeter IAC were enrolled and were categorized into pure GGO, part-solid, and solid nodules based on the radiological appearance. Cox proportional hazards model and the Kaplan-Meier method were used for survival analyses.ResultsA total of 247 patients were enrolled. Among them, 66 (26.7%) were in the pure-GGO group, 107 (43.3%) were in the part-solid group, and 74 (30.0%) were in the solid group. Survival analysis demonstrated a significantly worse survival in the solid group. Cox multivariate analyses confirmed that the absence of GGO component was an independent risk factor for worse recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS). As for surgical procedures, lobectomy did not provide a significant better RFS or OS than sublobar resection in the whole cohort or in a subgroup of patients with solid nodules.ConclusionsThe radiological appearance stratified the prognosis of IAC with size of smaller than or equal to 1 cm. Sublobar resection may be feasible for subcentimeter IAC, even for those appearing as solid nodules; however, caution should be taken when applying wedge resection.

Project description:Objective:To explore the correlation between the spectral computed tomography (CT) imaging parameters and the Ki-67 labeling index in lung adenocarcinoma. Methods:Spectral CT imaging parameters [iodine concentrations of lesions (ICLs) in the arterial phase (ICLa) and venous phase (ICLv), normalized IC in the aorta (NICa/NICv), slope of the spectral HU curve (?HUa/?HUv) and monochromatic CT number enhancement on 40 keV and 70 keV images (CT40keVa/v, CT70keVa/v)] in 34 lung adenocarcinomas were analyzed, and common molecular markers, including the Ki-67 labeling index, were detected with immunohistochemistry. Different Ki-67 labeling indexes were measured and grouped into four grades according to the number of positive-stained cells (grade 0, ?1%; 1%<grade 1?10%; 10%<grade 2?30%; and grade 3, >30%). One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the four different grades, and the Bonferroni method was used to correct the P value for multiple comparisons. A Spearman correlation analysis was performed to further research a quantitative correlation between the Ki-67 labeling index and spectral CT imaging parameters. Results:CT40keVa, CT40keVv, CT70keVa and CT70keVv increased as the grade increased, and CT70keVa and CT70keVv were statistically significant (P<0.05). These four parameters and the Ki-67 labeling index showed a moderate positive correlation with lung adenocarcinoma nodules. ICL, NIC and ?HU in the arterial and venous phases were not significantly different among the four grades. Conclusions:The spectral CT imaging parameters CT40keVa, CT40keVv, CT70keVa and CT70keVv gradually increased with Ki-67 expression and showed a moderate positive correlation with lung adenocarcinomas. Therefore, spectral CT imaging parameter-enhanced monochromatic CT numbers at 70 keV may indicate the extent of proliferation of lung adenocarcinomas.

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.
