Pathologic N0 Status in Clinical T1N0M0 Lung Adenocarcinoma is Predictable by the Solid Component Proportion with Quantitative CT Number Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Correctly predicting pathologic regional node-negative (pN0) disease in patients with lung cancer before operation may avoid unnecessary mediastinal lymph node dissection (MLND). In this study, we analyze the value of the radiographic and histopathological features of primary tumors for predicting pN0 status in cT1N0M0 lung adenocarcinoma and to establish an optimal surgical strategy for avoiding MLND in cT1N0M0 lung adenocarcinoma patients. We retrospectively investigated the histopathological and radiographic data of 348 surgically resected cT1N0M0 lung adenocarcinoma patients with systematic lymph node dissection from January 2005 to December 2012. Histopathological features and radiographic features were analyzed. Multivariable analysis was used to identify significant predictors of pN0 disease. Our results showed that pN0 disease was detected in 306 patients (87.9%) among the 348 patients with cT1N0M0 lung adenocarcinoma. A decreasing trend of the pN0 disease proportion was observed with both increasing histological grade and decreased differentiation (P?

Project description:BackgroundBased on computed tomography (CT) findings of lung cancer, solid nodules have a much worse prognosis than subsolid nodules, even if the nodules are subcentimeter in size. There is, however, no systematic method for determining the prognosis of solid tumors on CT. This study aimed to discover the prognostic factor of early-stage solid lung adenocarcinoma using three-dimensional CT volumetry.MethodsPatients with pathological stage I solid lung adenocarcinoma who underwent complete resection between 2007 and 2012 were selected in this retrospective study. Clinicopathological data and preoperative multidetector CT findings, such as tumor size on the two-dimensional axial image, three-dimensional tumor volume between -600 and 199 HU, and three-dimensional solid volume between 0 and 199 HU, which corresponded to highly solid components, were compared between recurrence and non-recurrence. Furthermore, these radiological values were compared to pathological invasive volume (PIV).ResultsDuring this time, 709 patients had their lung cancer completely removed. From this cohort, 90 patients with pathological stage I solid lung adenocarcinoma were selected. In addition, recurrence was found in 26 patients (28.9%). Although two-dimensional axial image, serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level, and SUVmax on 18F fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) did not differ statistically between recurrent and non-recurrent patients, three-dimensional tumor and solid tumor volume did. Multivariate analysis indicated that three-dimensional solid tumor volume [hazard ratio: 2.440; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.110-5.361, P=0.026] and epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation (hazard ratio: 4.307; 95% CI: 1.328-13.977, P=0.015) were significantly associated with disease-free survival (DFS). When three-dimensional tumor and solid tumor volume were compared to PIV, three-dimensional solid tumor volume (3,091 mm3 on average) showed a highly similar value with PIV (2,930 mm3 on average), whereas three-dimensional tumor volume (6,175 mm3 on average) was significantly larger than PIV (P<0.001).ConclusionsIn patients with early-stage solid lung adenocarcinoma, the measurement of three-dimensional solid tumor volume, which is correlated with PIV, accurately predicted the postoperative outcome.

Project description:PurposeTo analyze the incidence and CT patterns of visceral pleural invasion (VPI) in adenocarcinomas on the basis of their CT presentation as solid or subsolid nodules.Materials and methodsA total of 286 adenocarcinomas in direct contact with a pleural surface, resected at an institution between 2005 and 2016, were included in this retrospective, institutional review board-approved study. CT size and longest contact length with a pleural surface were measured and their ratios computed. Pleural deviation, pleural thickening, spiculations, different pleural tag types, pleural effusion, and the CT appearance of transgression into an adjacent lobe or infiltration of surrounding tissue were evaluated. Fisher exact tests and simple and multiple logistic regression models were used.ResultsOf the 286 nodules, 179 of 286 (62.6%) were solid and 107 of 286 (37.4%) were subsolid. VPI was present in 49 of 286 (17.1%) nodules and was significantly more frequent in solid (44 of 179; 24.6%) than in subsolid nodules (five of 107; 4.7%; P < .001). In solid nodules, multiple regression analysis showed an association of higher contact length-to-size ratio (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 1.02; P = .007) and the presence of multiple pleural tag types (adjusted OR, 5.88; P = .002) with VPI. In subsolid nodules, longer pleural contact length of the solid nodular component (adjusted OR, 1.27; P = .017) and the CT appearance of transgression or infiltration (adjusted OR, 10.75; P = .037) were associated with VPI.ConclusionDuring preoperative evaluation of adenocarcinomas for the likelihood of VPI, whether a tumor manifests as a solid or a subsolid nodule is important to consider because the incidence of VPI is significantly higher in solid than in subsolid nodules. In addition, this study showed that the CT patterns associated with VPI differ between solid and subsolid nodules.© RSNA, 2019Supplemental material is available for this article.See also the commentary by Elicker in this issue.
