[Prognostic Factors of N2 Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer after Surgery].

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Patients with N2 stage non-small cell lung cancer have prognostic heterogeneity, and this study attempted to explore the prognostic factors among those patients. METHODS:Patients with N2 stage undergoing radical resection in Department of Thoracic Surgery, West China hospital, Sichuan University between January 2007 and December 2016 were included. Cox proportional hazard regression model was used to explore the prognostic value of clinicopathological features. Survival curves were plotted by Kaplan-Meier method. Subgroup analyses considering the situation of lymph node involvement were performed. RESULTS:In total, 773 patients were included. The median follow-up time was 57.2 months, and the 5-year overall survival rate was 34.8%. Tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, number of involved lymph node stations, skip metastasis, lymphatic or vascular invasion and adjuvant chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors. The patients with stage T1-3 had similar prognosis, while the patients with stage T4 had worse survival. In addition, the patients with single station involvement and skip metastasis had the best prognosis with a 5-years overall survival rate of 48.9%. CONCLUSIONS:T4 stage patients had worse survival in N2 group. To get a more precisely stratification, skip metastasis and number of involved lymph node stations should be considered in future N stage classification.

Project description:BackgroundLung cancer serum tumor markers including carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA21-1), and carbohydrate antigen 125(CA125) as prognostic predictors is controversial. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the association between these markers and the survival of patients with postoperative stage III-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).MethodsWe enrolled 1011 patients with pathologically confirmed stage III-N2 NSCLC who underwent resection and whose pretreatment serum tumor marker levels were available. Patients were categorized according to their serum levels into low-, medium-, and high-risk groups. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), local regional relapse-free survival (LRFS), and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) were calculated from the date of resection. Their association with each serum tumor marker was assessed using the log-rank test.ResultsAbnormal CEA levels were associated with worse five-year OS, PFS and DMFS; abnormal CYFRA21-1 levels were associated with worse five-year OS and LRFS; and abnormal CA125 levels were associated with worse five-year OS, PFS, LRFS and DMFS. Among the risk groups, there were significant differences in five-year OS, PFS, LRFS and DMFS (P = 0.000). In propensity score matching analysis, the model also achieved prognostic significance for all four survival classifications (P = 0.001-0.004) among the three risk groups.ConclusionsThe combined model achieved prognostic significance for all survival outcome types. The serum tumor markers tested are useful prognostic predictors for postoperative NSCLC patients but not for all survival outcomes. The combination of the three indices is more reliable in predicting all four of the survival outcomes.Key pointsSIGNIFICANT FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: Serum CEA, CYFRA21-1, and CA125 levels can be used as prognostic factors of postoperative N2 non-small cell lung cancer patients but not for all survival outcomes, suggesting that combinative detection of all three indices would be more reliable.What this study addsOur model utilizes available technology, with conventional cutoff values, inexpensive costs, and simple mathematics methods and, thus, can be feasibly employed by clinicians or oncologists.
