      Background:
      The goal of this study is to investigate comprehensive comparative pathological analyses of both primary tumor and metastatic lymph node (LN) and correlate with lung cancer-specific death (LC-death) in patients with LN-positive lung adenocarcinoma.

      Methods:
      PN1/2 lung adenocarcinoma patients who underwent R0 resection without induction therapy (n=402, 2000-2012) were included in the study. In primary tumor, lymphatic/vascular/pleural invasion, necrosis, tumor spread through air spaces (STAS), as well as histologic subtypes according to 2015 WHO classification were evaluated. In metastatic LN, metastatic tumor size, extracapsular invasion, histologic subtypes were evaluated. Recurrence and LC-death were analyzed by Cox model.

      Results:
      Micropapillary and solid predominant subtypes were more frequent in LN metastases than in primary tumors (Figure). In multivariable analyses, adjuvant chemotherapy, pleural invasion, extracapsular invasion of LN metastasis, micropapillary predominant subtype in LN metastasis were independent factors for recurrence; adjuvant chemotherapy, pleural invasion, tumor STAS, and extracapsular invasion were for LC-death (Table).

      Conclusion:
      In lung adenocarcinoma lymph node metastases, predominant micropapillary pattern and extracapsular invasion indicate high risk for recurrence and lung cancer-specific death. Figure 1 Figure 2

      OA20.03 - Tumoral IL-7 Receptor is a Potential Target for Lung Adenocarcinoma Immunotherapy (ID 5800)

      12:20 - 12:30  |  Author(s): Z. Tano

      • Abstract

      Background:
      IL-7/IL-7 receptor (IL-7R) interactions have been shown to prevent apoptosis in lung cancer cells and promote stromal pro-tumor immune cell homing and differentiation. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between tumoral IL-7R expression and stromal pro-tumor immune cells (FoxP3+ Tregs and CD163+ M2 macrophages) and to determine prognostic impact of the combination of these markers in lung adenocarcinomas.

      Methods:
      In resected stage I lung adenocarcinoma (n=913; 1995-2009), antigen expression of IL-7R, FoxP3 and CD163 was evaluated by immunohistochemistry (IHC) using tissue microarrays and mRNA expression was quantified by RT-PCR. Prognosis was analyzed by both recurrence free probability (RFP) and lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS).

      Results:
      In IHC analysis, high tumoral IL-7R, stromal FoxP3, and stromal CD163 expression were individually associated with lymphatic/vascular invasion, and increasing percentage of solid histological patten. A correlation was seen between IL-7R, FoxP3 and CD163 expression by mRNA and IHC analyses (Figure1). The co-existence of high expression of these 3 markers was found in 16% of patients and was associated with worse outcomes (Figure2). In multivariable analysis, triple marker co-existence was an independent risk factor for RFP (p=0.004) and LCSS (p=0.008).

      Conclusion:
      Tumoral IL-7 receptor is a potential target for lung adenocarcinoma immunotherapy. Figure 1 Figure 2

      P1.03-084 - Implications of 8th Edition TNM Proposal: Invasive vs. Total Size for T Descriptor in pT1a-2bN0M0 Lung Adenocarcinoma (ID 5788)

      14:30 - 14:30  |  Author(s): Z. Tano

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      The aim of this study was to conduct a clinicopathological comparative analysis of total tumor versus invasive tumor size in pT1a-2bN0M0 nonmucinous lung adenocarcinomas.

      Methods:
      Resected pT1a-2bN0M0 lung adenocarcinomas (1995-2012) based on 8th edition of TNM classification using total (N=1475) and invasive tumor size (N=1482) were included. Recurrence free probability [RFP] and lung cancer-specific survival [LCSS]) were compared between both pT-staging systems using Kaplan-Meier method.

      Results:
      Use of invasive size for the T descriptor increased the number of pT1a tumors by 2 fold compared to use of total tumor size (316 vs. 161), with no difference in RFP and LCSS (RFP, 82% vs. 80%; LCSS, 94% vs. 93%). Use of invasive rather than total size also showed better stratification of lymphatic/vascular invasion and high-grade histological subtypes according to increasing pT stage. RFP and LCSS in invasive-size-based pT2b were lower than those in total-size-based pT2b (RFP, 44% vs. 60%; LCSS, 69% vs. 77%).

      Conclusion:
      In pT1a-2bN0M0 nonmucinous lung adenocarcinoma, the 8th edition TNM proposal to use invasive rather than total size for the pT descriptor gives better prognostic discrimination by capturing a larger number of patients with favorable prognosis (pT1a) and providing better stratification for pT2b.
