Effect of histological subtype and treatment modalities on T1-2 N0-1 small cell lung cancer: A population-based study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Combined small cell lung cancer (C-SCLC) is rare and its clinical features, appropriate treatment, and prognosis are poorly understood. Reports conflict over the prognosis of C-SCLCs compared to pure small cell lung cancer.

Methods

The records of patients diagnosed with primary SCLC from 1988 to 2014 were extracted from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database. The general features of C-SCLCs were compared to those of SCLCs. T1-2 N0-1 data was extracted and the effects of the histological subtype, treatment modality, and other prognostic factors on lung cancer-specific survival (CSS) was analyzed in a 3:1 matched dataset. Analysis was performed using the 8th edition tumor node metastasis staging system and previous staging systems adjunctively.

Results

C-SCLCs comprised 1.5% of all SCLCs (1486/98 667); 184 cases of C-SCLCs and 2681 cases of non-combined SCLCs (NC-SCLCs) were included in this study. C-SCLCs were more likely to be of a higher grade and to occur in the upper lobe than NC-SCLCs. Before matching, C-SCLCs showed better CSS (hazard ratio 0.69; P < 0.001). However, stratified Cox proportional hazards analysis in the matched dataset revealed that only treatment modality and age at diagnosis were associated with CSS; the histological subtype had no effect on survival. Of all treatment modalities, surgery with chemoradiation showed the best CSS in T1-2 N0-1 SCLC.

Conclusion

In early SCLC, surgery with chemoradiation shows the best CSS. C-SCLC patients might benefit more from multimodal treatments, including surgery, than SCLC patients.

Project description:ImportanceAdjuvant chemotherapy remains the only recommended treatment for patients with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, the existing evidence is not enough to recommend adjuvant therapies to patients with T1 N0 M0 TNBC.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association of different adjuvant therapies with survival outcome in patients with T1 N0 M0 TNBC stratified by cancer stage and age.Design, setting, and participantsPostoperative patients diagnosed as having T1 N0 M0 TNBC between 2010 and 2015 who were enrolled in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cancer registry program were included in this population-based cohort study. Data analysis was performed from March 27, 2019, to August 10, 2020.ExposuresChemotherapy and radiotherapy.Main outcomes and measuresKaplan-Meier curve and univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analyses were performed to compare overall survival (OS) and breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) between the different treatments.ResultsA cohort of 7739 eligible patients (mean [SD] age, 59.5 [12.4] years; all female) were included in the present study. The 5-year OS of the total patients was 91.7% (95% CI, 90.9%-92.5%), and median follow-up was 45 months (95% CI, 44-46 months). Patients aged 70 years and older or with T1a TNBC were more likely to receive adjuvant radiotherapy than chemotherapy. Although any adjuvant therapy could improve OS in T1 N0 M0 TNBC, only chemotherapy was associated with significantly better breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS adjusted hazard ratio: 0.657; 95% CI, 0.460-0.939; P = .02). Adjuvant radiotherapy after breast-conserving surgery was associated with better OS and BCSS in patients aged 70 years and older but not in those younger than 70 years. For patients with T1c BC, chemotherapy after breast-conserving surgery or other surgery was associated with improved OS, whereas only chemotherapy after other surgery was associated with better BCSS.Conclusions and relevanceThe findings of this cohort study suggest that adjuvant therapies could improve OS in patients with T1 N0 M0 TNBC, whereas only chemotherapy was associated with better BCSS. Older patients with early-stage TNBC may benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy. Administration of adjuvant therapies to patients with different ages and cancer stages should be discussed carefully, which necessitates guidance from updated guidelines.

Project description:BackgroundTo eliminate them, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) care and outcome disparities need to be better understood.Research questionHow does rurality interact with NSCLC care and outcome disparities?Study design and methodsWe examined guideline-concordant use of active treatment for NSCLC across five institutions in one community-based health care system spanning 44% of the Delta Regional Authority catchment area from 2011 to 2017. Institution- and patient-level rurality were based on Rural-Urban Commuting Area codes. Chi-squared, F-tests, and logistic regressions were used to analyze differences across institutions and rurality; survival was examined using log-rank tests and Cox regression.ResultsOf 6,259 patients, 47% resided in rural areas; two of five institutions were rurally located and provided care for 20% of patients. Compared with rural residents at rural institutions, urban and rural residents attending urban institutions were more likely to receive stage-preferred treatment: OR 1.68 (95%CI, 1.44-1.96), and 1.33 (1.11-1.61), respectively, after adjusting for insurance, age, and clinical stage. Urban and rural residents attending urban institutions had a lower hazard of death compared with rural residents attending rural institutions: hazard ratio (HR) 0.69 (0.64-0.75) and 0.61 (0.55-0.67), respectively. Among recipients of stage-preferred treatment, care at urban institutions remained less hazardous: HR 0.7 (0.63-0.79). When further stratified by stage, care for late-stage patients at urban institutions remained less hazardous: HR 0.8 (0.71-0.91).InterpretationRurality-associated treatment and survival disparities were present at the patient and institution levels, but the institution-level disparity was greater. Rural residents receiving care at urban institutions had similar outcomes to urban residents receiving care at urban hospitals. To overcome rurality-associated NSCLC survival disparity, interventions should preferentially target the institution level, including expanding access to higher-quality guideline-concordant care.
