Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a risk factor for lung cancer. Patients with lung cancer associated with ILD (LC-ILD) often appear clinically. During the treatment of LC-ILD, there is a risk of causing acute exacerbation or even death in the treatment of lung cancer. At the same time, combining ILD has become the exclusion criteria for prospective clinical trials of most lung cancers. Therefore, when lung cancer is combined with ILD, it often becomes a difficult point for the treatment of lun ...[more]

Project description:Drug-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) is not uncommon, with diverse patterns ranging from benign infiltrates to the potentially fatal acute respiratory distress syndrome. As acute respiratory failure due to drug-associated ILD has an unpredictable onset and rapid time course, establishing a diagnosis is often difficult. An accurate diagnosis is based on clinical, radiological (including high-resolution computed tomography) and histological manifestations, although is often only possible by exclusion. Cancer chemotherapy is commonly associated with acute disease that, on pathology, is often diffuse alveolar damage. Furthermore, a combination of drugs with or without radiotherapy can increase the risk of ILD. This article reviews treatments for non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that are associated with the development of ILD and how systematic evaluation of the possible role of these drugs in ILD is warranted. A difference between Japan and the rest of the world in reporting rates of ILD when gefitinib ('Iressa') has been used in advanced NSCLC is also discussed. However, the difference remains unexplained, leaving important epidemiological and mechanistic questions.

Project description:Symptoms of drug-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD) are nonspecific and can be difficult to distinguish from a number of illnesses that commonly occur in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on therapy. Identification of drug involvement and differentiation from other illnesses is problematic, although radiological manifestations and clinical tests enable many of the alternative causes of symptoms in advanced NSCLC to be excluded. In lung cancer patients, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is more sensitive than a chest radiograph in evaluating the severity and progression of parenchymal lung disease. Indeed, the use of HRCT imaging has led to the recognition of many distinct patterns of lung involvement and, along with clinical signs and symptoms, helps to predict both outcome and response to treatment. This manuscript outlines the radiology of drug-associated ILD and its differential diagnosis in NSCLC. An algorithm that uses clinical tests to exclude alternative diagnoses is also described.

Project description:The purpose of this study was to clarify the opinions of radiation oncologists in Japan regarding treatment for lung cancer complicated with interstitial lung disease (ILD) by a questionnaire survey, and the risk of acute exacerbation (AE) after radiotherapy. Questionnaires were sent to all of the facilities in which radiation therapy is performed for lung cancer in Japan by using the mailing list of the Japanese Society for Radiation Oncology (JASTRO). The questionnaire survey was conducted to clarify who judges the existence of ILD, the indications for radiation therapy in cases of ILD-combined lung cancer, and the ratio of ILD-combined lung cancer in lung cancer patients treated with radiation therapy. Patients with ILD-combined lung cancer who received radiotherapy during the period from April 2014 to March 2015 were retrospectively analysed. Any cases of AE without any other obvious cause were included. ILD confirmation was performed by central radiologists using computed tomography images. A total of 47 facilities responded to the questionnaire. Radiation therapy was an option in cases of ILD-combined lung cancer in 39 (83%) of the facilities. The indication for radiation therapy was based on image findings in 35 (90%) of the 39 facilities in which radiation therapy was acceptable or was a choice in some cases of ILD. The final indication was based on the opinion of the pulmonologist in 29 (74%) of those 39 facilities. In fiscal year 2014, a total of 2128 patients in 38 facilities received chest irradiation. Seventy-eight (3.7%) of those 2128 patients had ILD-combined lung cancer. Sixty-seven patients were included in patient analysis. AE occurred in 5 patients (7.5%), and one of those 5 patients (20.0%) died from radiation-induced AE. The median period from radiotherapy to AE was 4 months (range, 2-7 months). The following four independent risk factors for AE were identified in univariate analysis: non-advanced age (<75 years), increased C-reactive protein level (?0.3 mg/dl), adjuvant chemotherapy and ? Grade 2 radiation pneumonitis. Radiotherapy was an option for lung cancer even in cases with ILD in 83% (39/47) of the facilities in Japan. Seventy-eight (3.7%) of 2128 patients who received radiation therapy for lung cancer had ILD. Radiotherapy for ILD-combined lung cancer may induce AE at a substantial rate and AE can be life-threatening. Minimizing the risk of radiation pneumonitis might enable the risk of AE to be reduced.

Project description:Drugs have been implicated in lung injury as a result of direct pharmacological action, persistence or metabolism in the tissue, or via the production of a reactive metabolite or metabolites. The result of this apparent drug-associated injury ranges from cellular dysfunction through to cell death (apoptosis) and alteration of repair mechanisms that are essential in replacing critical tissue elements and function. There is limited knowledge on how timing of drug administration or drug interactions may interfere with the repair mechanisms or modulate the expression of pulmonary toxicity. Chemotherapeutic drugs and novel agents, such as those targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), appear to affect both normal and neoplastic cells. However, unlike chemotherapy, where the actions are systemic and directly as a result of biotransformation or cell injury, it has been postulated that effects of EGFR-targeting agents are more likely to be focused on epithelia via a pharmacological effect. Furthermore, risk factors for the development of adverse pulmonary reactions, as well as biological markers indicating incipient toxicity, need to be prospectively identified. Proteomics, through the identification of >/=1000 proteins or peptides in blood samples, will hopefully identify candidates for this role.

Project description:BackgroundDrug-induced interstitial lung disease (DIILD) is a form of interstitial lung disease resulting from exposure to drugs causing inflammation and possibly interstitial fibrosis. Antineoplastic drugs are the primary cause of DIILD, accounting for 23%-51% of cases, with bleomycin, everolimus, erlotinib, trastuzumab-deruxtecan and immune checkpoint inhibitors being the most common causative agents. DIILD can be difficult to identify and manage, and there are currently no specific guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of DIILD caused by anticancer drugs.ObjectiveTo develop recommendations for the diagnosis and management of DIILD in cancer patients.MethodsBased on the published literature and their clinical expertise, a multidisciplinary group of experts in Italy developed recommendations stratified by DIILD severity, based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.ResultsThe recommendations highlight the importance of multidisciplinary interaction in the diagnosis and management of DIILD. Important components of the diagnostic process are physical examination and careful patient history-taking, measurement of vital signs (particularly respiratory rate and arterial oxygen saturation), relevant laboratory tests, respiratory function testing with spirometry and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide and computed tomography/imaging. Because the clinical and radiological signs of DIILD are often similar to those of pneumonias or interstitial lung diseases, differential diagnosis is important, including microbial and serological testing to exclude or confirm infectious causes. In most cases, management of DIILD requires the discontinuation of the antineoplastic agent and the administration of short-term steroids. Steroid tapering must be undertaken slowly to prevent reactivation of DIILD. Patients with severe and very severe (grade 3 and 4) DIILD will require hospitalisation and often need oxygen and non-invasive ventilation. Decisions about invasive ventilation should take into account the patient's cancer prognosis.ConclusionsThese recommendations provide a structured step-by-step diagnostic and therapeutic approach for each grade of suspected cancer-related DIILD.

Project description:Anti-tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) agents have been hypothesized to increase the risk of interstitial lung disease (ILD), including its most severe manifestation, pulmonary fibrosis.We conducted a cohort study among autoimmune disease patients who were members of Kaiser Permanente Northern California, 1998-2007. We obtained therapies from pharmacy data and diagnoses of ILD from review of X-ray and computed tomography reports. We compared new users of anti-TNF-? agents to new users of non-biologic therapies using Cox proportional hazards analysis to adjust for baseline propensity scores and time-varying use of glucocorticoids. We also made head-to-head comparisons between anti-TNF-? agents.Among the 8417 persons included in the analysis, 38 (0.4%) received a diagnostic code for ILD by the end of follow-up, including 23 of 4200 (0.5%) who used anti-TNF-? during study follow-up, and 15 of 5423 (0.3%) who used only non-biologic therapies. The age-standardized and gender-standardized incidence rate of ILD, per 100 person-years, was 0.21 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0-0.43] for rheumatoid arthritis and appreciably lower for other autoimmune diseases. Compared with the use of non-biologic therapies, use of anti-TNF-? therapy was not associated with a diagnosis of ILD among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.03; 95%CI 0.51-2.07), nor did head-to-head comparisons across anti-TNF-? agents suggest important differences in risk, although the number of cases available for analysis was limited.The study provides evidence that compared with non-biologic therapies, anti-TNF-? therapy does not increase the occurrence of ILD among patients with autoimmune diseases and informs research design of future safety studies of ILD.

Project description:BackgroundPulmonary toxicity has been associated with drug use. This is often not recognized in clinical practice, and underestimated.ObjectiveWe aimed to establish whether polymorphisms in certain genes corresponding with a metabolic pathway of drug(s) used are associated with pulmonary toxicity in patients with suspected drug-induced interstitial lung disease (DI-ILD).MethodsThis retrospective observational study explored genetic variations in three clinically relevant cytochrome P450 (CYP) iso-enzymes (i.e., CYP2D6, CYP2C9, and CYP2C19) in a group of patients with a fibroticinterstitial lung disease, either non-specific interstitial pneumonia (n = 211) or idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (n = 256), with a suspected drug-induced origin.ResultsOf the 467 patients, 79.0% showed one or more polymorphisms in the tested genes accompanied by the use of drug(s) metabolized by a corresponding affected metabolic pathway (60.0% poor metabolizers and/or using two or more drugs [likely DI-ILD], 37.5% using three or more [highly likely DI-ILD]). Most commonly used drugs were statins (63.1%) with a predominance among men (69.4 vs 47.1%, p < 0.0001). Nitrofurantoin, not metabolized by the tested pathways, was prescribed more frequently among women (51.9 vs 4.5%, p < 0.00001).ConclusionsIn our cohort with suspected DI-ILD, 79% carried one or more genetic variants accompanied by the use of drugs metabolized by a corresponding affected pathway. In 60%, the diagnosis of DI-ILD was likely, whereas in 37.5%, it was highly likely, based on CYP analyses. This study underlines the importance of considering both drug use and genetic make-up as a possible cause, or at least a contributing factor, in the development and/or progression of fibrotic lung diseases.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov identifier NCT00267800, registered in 2005.

Project description:Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic inflammatory disease, which primarily causes symmetric polyarthritis. An extrarticolar involvement is common, and the commonly involved organ is lungs. Although cardiac disease is responsible for most RA-related deaths, pulmonary disease is also a major contributor, accounting for ~10-20% of all mortality. Pulmonary disease is a common (60-80% of patients with RA) extra-articular complication of RA. Optimal screening, diagnostic, and treatment strategies of pulmonary disease remain uncertain, which have been the focus of an ongoing investigation. Clinicians should regularly assess patients with RA for the signs and symptoms of pulmonary disease and, reciprocally, consider RA and other connective tissue diseases when evaluating a patient with pulmonary disease of an unknown etiology. RA directly affects all anatomic compartments of the thorax, including the lung parenchyma, large and small airways, pleura, and less commonly vessels. In addition, pulmonary infection and drug-induced lung disease associated with immunosuppressive agents used for the treatment of RA may occur.

Project description:ObjectivePulmonary hypertension (PH) in context with interstitial lung disease (ILD) portends serious clinical consequences and a high rate of mortality. Recently published randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which assessed the pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)-specific drugs for pulmonary hypertension and interstitial lung disease (PH-ILD) revealed inconsistent clinical outcomes with previous studies. We conducted a systemic review and meta-analysis to further investigate the effect of PAH-specific therapies for PH-ILD.MethodsClinical trials were searched from the EMBASE, PUBMED, and CENTRAL databases. The duration from the establishment of the database to June 2022 for RCTs evaluates the effect of PAH-specific therapy in patients with PH-ILD. RevMan 5.4 was used for the meta-analysis.ResultsA total of six articles (with a total of 791 patients) were included, including 412 patients in the treated group and 379 patients in the control group. As compared to placebo, the change of 6MWD was a significant improvement with PAH-specific therapy in the six RCTs (23.09; 95% CI, 12.07-34.12 P < 0.0001); but when the study with inhaled treprostinil was excluded, the significant improvement in the change of 6MWD from baseline was not present anymore (MD 11.01, 95%CI-6.43-28.46 P = 0.22). There was no significant improvement in the change in lung function, hemodynamic parameters, clinical worsening, all-cause death, and serious adverse effects in the treated group compared to placebo.ConclusionPAH-specific therapy significantly improved exercise capacity in the patients with PH-ILD, but this is due to the greater contribution of the study with inhaled treprostinil. Therefore, our findings still did not support the routine use of the whole PAH-specific drugs for PH-ILD.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a group of diffuse lung diseases that mainly involve the interstitial and alveolar cavities and result in loss of alveolar-capillary functional units, leading to restrictive ventilatory dysfunction and diffusion impairment. There was an increased incidence of lung cancer on the basis of ILD, and perioperative risk of patients with lung cancer combined with ILD (LC-ILD) was significantly increased. The aim of this study is to summarize the safety and experience of surgical treatment of LC-ILD. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed on 23 patients with LC-ILD who underwent pneumonectomy in Beijing Hospital from January 2012 to December 2019, and their clinical manifestations, image feature, pathology, surgical safety, perioperative complications and treatment experience were summarized. RESULTS:A total of 23 patients were included in this study, including 20 males (87.0%) with an average age of (69.1±7.8) years, and 19 cases (82.6%) were smokers. Of the ILD types, 14 cases (60.9%) were idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, 7 cases (30.4%) were idiopathic nonspecific interstitial pneumonia, and 2 (8.7%) were interstitial lung disease associated with connective tissue diseases. The pathology of lung cancer included adenocarcinoma (30.4%, 7/23), small cell carcinoma (30.4%, 7/23), squamous cell carcinoma (26.1%, 6/23), small cell carcinoma mixed with squamous cell carcinoma (4.3%, 1/23) and large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (8.7%, 2/23). Surgical approaches included video assisted thoracoscopy (69.6%, 16/23) and anterolateral thoracotomy (30.4%, 7/23), with lobectomy (52.2%, 12/23), double lobectomy (4.3%, 1/23), and sublobectomy (39.1%, 9/23). There were 11 cases (47.8%) of postoperative complications, including 8 cases (34.8%) of pulmonary complications, 4 cases (17.4%) of acute exacerbation of ILD (AE-ILD), 6 cases (26.1%) of atrial fibrillation, and 1 case (4.3%) of acute left ventricular dysfunction. The 90-day mortality is 8.7% (2/23) and the cause of death was acute exacerbation of ILD. CONCLUSIONS:Most of LC-ILD were elderly patients with multiple comorbidities and decreased pulmonary function, leading to significantly increased surgical risk. The ILD should be fully evaluated and controlled before surgery, intraoperative trauma should be minimized, and special attention should be paid to pulmonary complications and AE-ILD after surgery. Postoperative AE-ILD has a poor prognosis and glucocorticoids may be effective. Early diagnosis and treatment is the key to treatment of AE-ILD.
