Background
Surgical resection is the first line treatment offered to patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are considered medically fit. Many studies have shown that patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer benefit from receiving treatment in hospitals where high numbers of lung cancer resections are carried out. This study explores the association between hospital volume and survival among all NSCLC patients diagnosed in England who underwent surgical resection and takes into account the differences in case selection and propensity to resect.Methods
We analysed data on 134,293 patients with NSCLC diagnosed in England between 2004 and 2008 of whom 12,862 (9·6%) underwent surgical resection. Hospital volume was defined according to the number of patients with resected lung cancer in each hospital in each year of diagnosis. Cox proportional hazard regression analyses were used to assess the association between hospital volume and survival among resected patients. We calculated multivariable hazard ratios according to hospital volume, with adjustment for potential confounders (sex, age, socioeconomic deprivation, comorbidity and resection quintile). In addition, to account for the risk of death potentially varying between groups of patients treated within a given hospital, a shared frailty Cox model was used, with hospital as a random effect. The follow-up period was divided into three pre-defined periods: 0-30 days, 31-365 days and >365 days post-surgery.Results
There was increased survival in hospitals performing more than 150 surgical resections compared with those carrying out less than 70 [HR 0·78 (95% CI 0·67-0·90), p~trend~ <0·01]. The association between hospital volume and survival was present in all three periods of follow-up, but the magnitude of the association was greatest in the period 0-30 days (HR for the 150+ hospital volume group compared with less than 70: 0·58, 95% CI 0·38-0·89) and smallest in the period after 365 days (HR 0·84, 95% CI 0·71-0·99).Conclusion
High volume hospitals have higher resection rates, operate on patients who are older, have lower socioeconomic status, more comorbidities and despite that they achieve better survival, most notably in the early post-operative period.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO22.02 - Resection rate, as a measure of the effectiveness of surgical treatment of lung cancer (ID 2428)
10:35 - 10:40 | Author(s): T.M. Orlowski, P. Rudzinski
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Surgery is the most effective way to treat lung cancer. There are significant differences between countries in the effectiveness of surgical treatment. The resection rate differe from 10 to over 20% in EuropeMethods
The National Registry of lung cancer in Poland comprises over 95% of patients with NSCLC treated with surgery. Resection rate (RR) is monitored for 20 years in Poland. Each year RR is calculated by the following formula: R R = (number of resected patients with NSCLC/ number of new cases) x 100 This ratio is calculated for each and even the smallest administrative area (16 provinces and 380 districts). To achieve such a result- the patient's place of residence is taken into account rather than a place where he had his surgery. This allows to determine how many of the patients in particular area have been diagnosed in certain stage of acceptance (mainly I and II) In year 2012, 3591 patients had surgery in Poland. The incidence of NSCLC this year was 22 348 new cases.Results
The RR in Poland in 2012 was 16.1%. The difference in many provinces ranged from 10.2% - 22%. In few districts the RR was reported from 0% - 46%. 79% of patients were in stage I and II, 11.2% in IIIa, 2.7% in IIIb and and 1.9% in stage IV. Comparing to 2011, resection rate increased by 5%, and within five years - 16.8%. Since 2010 in the areas with the lowest RR a screening program with low-dose computed tomography was implemented. The RR increased from 1,2 to 22% in majority of districts (14/16)Conclusion
1 Implementation of the resection rate allows to monitor the effectiveness of early diagnosis of lung cancer in different areas 2 Monitoring of the resection rate allows to improve the efficiency of diagnosis of lung cancer in areas where detection was low. 3. Regular evaluation of the RR supports the efforts to improve the results of surgical tratment of NSCLCOnly Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

Background
The importance of postoperative follow-up and rehabilitation after lung cancer surgery remains a controversial topic. Previous studies have showed that follow-up programs did not influence survival but at that time there was little focus on the effects of rehabilitation. Introduction of new diagnostic procedures, improvements in treatment modalities and increasing awareness on quality of life after treatment has changed guidelines and recommendations for follow-up programs. There is little evidence for these recommendations which prompted us to conduct a randomized study to evaluate the effect of an intense follow-up program on survival and quality of life for patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods
Between January 2003 and April 2008 a total 197 NSCLC patients were included in the study after undergoing surgical resection (wedge, lobectomy or pneumonectomy) through a posterolateral thoracotomy. Adjuvant chemotherapy was offered to stage Ib - IIIa. Postoperatively patients were randomized to either active rehabilitation and follow-up (POREFU, N=103) or passive follow-up (Standard, N=94). Patients in the POREFU group had intensive follow-up in the form of annual clinical evaluation, chest X-ray, chest CT, bronchoscopy and EBUS (Endobronchial Ultrasound) for 5 years. In the POREFU group patients were also evaluated by a nurse and a physiotherapist after 6 weeks, 6 months and at annual controls. When indicated, interventions were established to correct patient symptoms. Patients in the standard treatment group were offered a chest X-ray one year after surgery and a clinical examination by their family doctors upon request. Quality of life in both groups was assessed after 6 weeks, 6 months, 12 months and 2, 3, 4 and 5 years evaluating EORTC QLQ-C30/LC13. All survivors were followed for 5 years.Results
Figure 1There was no significant difference in survival between the two groups (Kaplan Meier plot). There was a significant difference between the two groups in favour of active follow-up regarding Global health status as well as “Physical”, “Role” and “Emotional” functioning and POREFU patients had significant less pain and fatigue. There was no statistical significant improvement of other symptoms or functional issues.Conclusion
This randomized trial shows that a follow-up program with an additional focus on rehabilitation and intervention towards reported symptoms in patients operated for NSCLC significantly improves quality of life but has no effect on overall survival.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO22.04 - Standardising the Management of Patients Following Lung Resection: Does It Improve Outcome? (ID 2114)
10:45 - 10:50 | Author(s): A.J. Sharkey, J. Coad, R. Owen-Smith, A. Cale, M. Chaudhry, S. Griffin, M. Loubani, M. Cowen
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
There is marked variation in the management of Thoracic surgical patients post-operatively, both between individual surgeons and surgical centres. This lack of standardisation can lead to staff and patient dissatisfaction, and differing outcomes for patients. In 2012 we introduced a more standardised approach to the management of patients undergoing Thoracic surgery under the care of one consultant (Consultant A). This was based on the ‘fast-track’ protocol published in 2001 by Cerfolio et al. We aimed to determine whether this approach to patient management has affected patient outcome.Methods
Data for all patients undergoing lung resection at a single centre from April 2012 to March 2013 were collected. The patients were split into two groups, those under the care of Consultant A (group A), and those under the care of the remaining 4 consultants (group B). Group A were managed according to the new standardised pathway which included; stopping the routine use of suction unless clinically required, chest drain removal with cessation of an air leak and drainage below 400mls in 24 hours, and epidural catheter removal on post-operative day 2. Those in group B were managed according to the instructions of the operating Consultant, or the surgical registrars covering the ward. Pre-operative, operative and post-operative data were collected and analysed. Patients were then propensity matched using operation and age.Results
Two hundred and thirty one patients were identified. Overall mean length of stay for all patients in group A was 5.65 days (SD±4.68), and in group B; 9.97 days (SD±12.06), p<0.001. Of these patients 94 were suitable for propensity matching. There were no significant differences found in the proportion of patients with benign versus malignant pathology, the number with primary lung cancer, or in the stage of the resected primary lung cancer. In-hospital mortality for both groups was one patient (2.13%). There was a lower number of drains inserted peri-operatively in group A patients (p<0.001). Mean time to drain removal (all drains) was 3.42 days (SD±6.35) for group A and 4.24 days (SD±3.08) for group B, p=0.026. Mean length of stay for group A was 6.00 days (SD± 4.86) and for group B 10.33 days (SD±19.29), p=0.042.Conclusion
Standardising care following surgery has been shown to improve patient safety, and both patient and staff satisfaction. We have found that reducing variation, and following a validated management pathway, significantly reduces the time to chest drain removal and in-hospital length of stay for patients undergoing lung resection for any pathology. We are currently analysing the various elements of the pathway to determine which specific factors impact patient outcome. Further work is required to determine the effect these differences have on patient reported outcome measures, including overall satisfaction.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

- Abstract

Background
Surgical resection is the standard of care for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However outcomes in older patients, especially octogenarians, following resection have not been studied in detail. This analysis was undertaken to evaluate the variations in patterns of care over time and outcomes following resection in octogenarians with early stage NSCLC.Methods
Patients 80 years of age and older diagnosed with clinical stages I and II NSCLC, between 1988 and 2007, were identified from the SEER database. Data abstracted included age at diagnosis, stage, gender, race, histology, year of diagnosis and cause of death. The type of surgical resection was not available for a majority of patients and hence was not considered. Overall survival was estimated as the time from the date of diagnosis to death, or date of last contact (if censored). Factors associated with survival were assessed using regression analysis based on the Cox proportional hazards model. Temporal trends in survival were compared using log-rank test. Lung cancer specific survival (LCSS) was also estimated in these patients and temporal trends were compared using log-rank tests.Results
Six hundred and forty-nine patients ≥80 years of age, who underwent surgical resection for stages I and II NSCLC, were identified. The majority of these patients had stage I disease (n=549), were white (n=586) and had an adenocarcinoma (n=325). Females comprised 50.6% of stage I, but only 37% of stage II patients. Factors associated with worse overall survival on multivariate analysis in this cohort were: increasing age [Hazard ratio (HR) - 1.08; 95% CI - 1.03, 1.12], male gender (HR - 1.33; 95% CI - 1.07, 1.65), stage II (HR - 2.21; 95% CI - 1.71, 2.87) and squamous histology (HR - 1.36; 95% CI - 1.07, 1.74). The percentage of patients undergoing surgery increased over time. Of the patients who underwent surgery 8.6% were diagnosed between 1988-1992, 16% between 1993-1997, 24.2% between 1998-2002 and 51.2% between 2002-2007. Despite this the median survival was not significantly different over these time periods. Median survivals for the four different time periods were as follows: 1988-1992 – 3.9 years; 1993-1997 – 3.2 years; 1998-2002 – 3.8 years; 2002-2007 – 3.3 years (p = 0.09). These are comparable to those reported previously in younger patients (ages 65-75 years) (5.92 years - stage I, 2.6 years - stage II). Similarly lung cancer specific survival was not significantly different between the different time points. Median LCSS for the four time periods were 9.2 years, 6.8 years, 7.9 years, and not reached, respectively (p = 0.51).Conclusion
Among octogenarians who had surgical resection for lung cancer, increasing age, male gender, higher stage and squamous histology were associated with worse survival. Despite an increased incidence of surgical resection for octogenarians, outcomes remained unchanged between 1988 and 2007. Octogenarians, when carefully selected, are capable of experiencing a similar advantage provided by surgical resection of early stage non small cell lung cancer as younger patients.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO22.07 - Local treatment of oligometastatic recurrence after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. (ID 932)
11:10 - 11:15 | Author(s): T. Yano, T. Okamoto, A. Haro, S. Fukuyama, D. Kawano, Y. Morodomi, T. Yoshida, M. Kohno, Y. Maehara
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
We previously reported a retrospective study indicating the prognostic impact of local treatment of postoperative oligometastases in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Yano T et al. J Surg Oncol 2010;102:852-855). However, previous studies have not been sufficient to determine the therapeutic significance of local treatment for postoperative oligometastases since the conclusions were based on retrospectively collected data and the assessment of overall survival. In the present study, we prospectively observed postoperative oligometastatic patients and investigated the effects of local treatment on progression-free survival (PFS).Methods
Using a prospectively maintained database of patients with completely resected NSCLC treated between October 2007 and December 2011, we identified 52 consecutive patients with postoperative recurrence. Of these patients, 31 suffering from distant metastases alone without primary site recurrence were included in this study. In order to exclude cases of second primary carcinoma of the lungs, the criteria of Martini and Melamed, modified by Antakli et al., were used to differentiate between second primary lung cancer and pulmonary metastasis. According to the definition of ‘oligometastases’ as limited recurrence potentially controlled with local treatment, 17 patients had oligometastatic disease. The number of metastases was less than four.Results
The oligometastatic sites included the lungs in five patients, the brain in four patients, bone in four patients, the lungs and brain in two patients, the adrenal glands in one patient and soft tissue in one patient. Fifteen of the 17 patients first received local treatment. Three patients (lung, adrenal gland, soft tissue) underwent surgical resection, and the remaining 12 patients received radiotherapy. The median PFS was 33 months in the oligometastatic patients who received local treatment. There were seven patients with a PFS of longer than two years. The metastatic sites in these patients varied, and the number of lesions in three patients was two or three. On the other hand, the two remaining patients first received a systemic chemotherapy of their own selection. The PFS of these two patients was five and 15 months, respectively.Conclusion
Both our previous retrospective study and the present study favor a choice of local treatment in patients with postoperative oligometastatic NSCLC.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO22.08 - Surgical Resection of Stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer: Should we still talk about the futile thoracotomy? (ID 825)
11:15 - 11:20 | Author(s): O. Mercier, E. Fadel, M. De Perrot, T. Pierard, S. Mussot, D. Fabre, F. Leroy Ladurie, B. Besse, C. Le Pechoux, T. Le Chevalier, P. Dartevelle
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Stage IIIA-N2 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is currently mainly managed with chemotherapy and radiation therapy with limited outcome. Whether surgical resection should be offered to patients with resectable IIIA-N2 NSCLC as part of a multi-modality approach with adjuvant or neoadjuvant treatment remains unclear. We sought to determine the long-term result of resected IIIA-N2 NSCLC in a single institution.Methods
We reviewed the charts from a consecutive series of 263 patients with a mean age of 62 years (range, 37-68) undergoing lung resection and complete en bloc lymph node dissection for IIIA-N2 NSCLC from 01/2000 to 12/2011. Clinical N2 (cN2) patients were diagnosed preoperatively on chest CT scan and/or PET scan and were histologically proven by mediastinoscopy or EBUS. Patients with cN2 with a single site of mediastinal disease were occasionally treated with surgery upfront followed by adjuvant chemotherapy with or without radiation (cN2 adj, n=70). The remaining patients with cN2 disease were treated with neoadjuvant therapy followed by surgery (cN2 neoadj, n=55). Minimal N2 patients were diagnosed postoperatively on final pathology report and received adjuvant therapy (mN2, n=138).Results
Lung resection was a pneumonectomy in 75 patients and a lobectomy in 188 patients with a post-operative mortality of 1.3% and 3.1%, respectively. Adjuvant chemo- or chemoradiation therapy was administered in 181 patients. The overall 5-year survival was 43.6%, with no significant difference between the type of lung resection (pneumonectomy: 38.9% vs. lobectomy: 45.5%, p=0.18) or the number of mediastinal lymph node site involvement (1 site 44.8% vs. 37,7% for multiple sites, p=0.9). Long-term survival tended to be better for mN2 compared to cN2 (5-year survival of 50.4% vs. 35.9%, respectively; p=0.08). However, survival for cN2 was similar between neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy (5-year survival of 30.3% vs. 40.2%, respectively; p=0.53). The number of mediastinal lymph node site involvement did not impact survival in patients with cN2 disease (1 site 37.6% vs 27.6% for multiple sites, p=0.59).Conclusion
Surgery for Stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC achieved good long-term survival when combined with chemotherapy or chemo-radiation therapy in well selected patients. Long-term survival was similar in patients with clinical N2 disease whether they received adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy. Surgery should be considered as part of a multimodality treatment for patients with stage III-N2 NSCLC.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

Background
The objectives of this study were to report the surgical techniques and clinical outcome of thoracoscopic half carina resection and thoracoscopic bronchial sleeve resection for central lung cancer.Methods
Between January 2011 and November 2012, 675 patients with lung cancer underwent radical surgery by thoracoscopy, 49 (7.3%) underwent bronchial sleeve resection. Among 49 patients, 20 (41%) received thoracoscopic bronchial sleeve lobectomy. Perioperative variables and postoperative outcomes of these cases were analyzed to evaluate the technical feasibility and safety of this operation.Results
In one patient, right upper lung sleeve resection was combined with half-carinal resection and reconstruction. In another, right medial lung sleeve resection was combined with lower right dorsal segment resection. The average time of surgery was 239 min (range, 142-330 min, 239±51 min), and the average time of airway reconstruction was 44 min (range, 22-75 min, 44±17 min). The intraoperative blood loss averaged 207 ml (range, 80-550 ml, 207±96 min). The median postoperative hospital stay was 10 days (interquartile range, 8-12 days). Postoperatively, extubation was achieved in the recovery room without further need for mechanical ventilation. None of the patients developed anastomotic leak. Perioperative mortality was not observed.Conclusion
Thoracoscopic bronchial sleeve resection can be considered a feasible and safe operation for selected patients with central lung cancer. The complicated anastomosis technique of half carina resection was feasible.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO22.10 - Surgery after Concurrent Chemo-Radiation with 55 Gy in 20 Fractions over four weeks with full dose Platinum and Vinorelbine (ID 3447)
11:25 - 11:30 | Author(s): J. Maguire, J. Littler, V. Kelly
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Concurrent chemo-radiation is the standard of care for patients with inoperable stage III NSCLC and good performance status. Following concurrent chemo-radiation some patients may have operable disease, and surgery may be considered to improve the prospects of cure for patients with negative mediastinal nodes and evidence of residual activity in the primary tumour. Surgery is usually not considered for patients who have received radiation doses higher than 45 Gy in 2 Gy daily fractions because of the perceived risk of post operative complications.Methods
Our standard concurrent chemo-radiotherapy regimen comprises 55 Gy in 20 fractions of 2.75 Gy per day, given over four weeks with cisplatinum 20 mg/m[2] given with radiotherapy fractions 1-4 and 16-19, and vinorelbine 15 mg/m[2 ]IV (40 mg/m[2] orally for patients without dysphagia) with fractions 1, 6, 15 and 20. Twenty-two patients at the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital have undergone thoracotomy with a view to resection of residual tumour after completion of this concurrent chemo-radiotherapy schedule.Results
Resection of residual disease was achieved in 21 out of 22 cases. In one patient, resection was not possible due to dense fibrosis and adhesions at the tumour site. Five patients underwent pneumonectomy, 15 lobectomy and one underwent wedge resection. There was one death in the 30 days following surgery and one patient developed a fistula at 4 months. Histological examination of resection specimens confirmed complete histological response in 14 out of 21 cases (66%). Median survival for was 93.8 months, with 5 year survival of 58.8% and 27.6% of patients surviving 10 years from start of treatment.Conclusion
Surgical resection is feasible after concurrent chemo-radiation to a dose of 55 Gy in 20 fractions over 4 weeks. The remarkably high complete histological response rate in this series confirms the effectiveness of a strategy to minimise accelerated repopulation by using hypofractionated radiotherapy with cisplatinum and vinorelbine over four weeks.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with pleural spread carries a dismal prognosis of 6-9 months median survival. Standard treatment is palliative chemotherapy. Surgery typically has no role, with studies showing no overall survival (OS) benefit and high rates of local recurrence of up to 90% due to microscopic residual disease following resection. This study investigated the use of surgery with the intent of achieving a gross total resection and intraoperative photodynamic therapy (PDT) to target microscopic residual disease for patients with NSCLC with pleural metastasis to improve local control and OS.Methods
All patients with NSCLC with pleural metastasis treated with definitive surgery and PDT (porfimer sodium, 24hr drug-light interval, 630nm, 30-60J/cm[2]) from 1997-2012 on either of two IRB-approved prospective clinical trials were assessed. Progression-free survival (PFS) and OS were defined as the time from surgery to recurrence and death, respectively, or to last contact. Pleural control was defined as absence of ipsilateral pleural disease after surgery, whereas locoregional control was defined as absence of lung parenchymal or intrathoracic nodal disease.Results
34 consecutive patients were assessed, all with ECOG performance status 0-1. The cohort was 50% male, predominantly Caucasian (85%), and a median of 55yrs at the time of surgery (range, 35-73yrs). Most had adenocarcinoma (79%), clinical N2 nodal metastasis (64%), and received neoadjuvant chemotherapy (94%) and/or radiotherapy (12%). Over half (56%) underwent pneumonectomy, whereas 38% received a lesser anatomic resection. Two patients were found intraoperatively to have unresectable disease due to pericardial effusion (n=1) or trans-diaphragmatic extension (n=1). Pathologic staging was pT4N0 (24%) or pT4N2 (76%). Four patients (3/19 pneumonectomy, 1/13 lung-sparing) suffered peri-operative mortality (day 11-98), with one death attributable to PDT (ARDS, day 11). Following surgery/PDT, 59% of patients received mediastinal radiotherapy (median 50.4Gy/1.8Gy) and 50% received chemotherapy. Pleural recurrence rates and OS were similar for patients undergoing pneumonectomy or other procedures (p>0.05 for both). Cohort median OS was 21.4 months (0.4-161.1 months), and survival rates were 59% at 1yr and 41% at 2yrs. Median overall PFS was 7.5 months, with numerous patients achieving durable disease-free intervals (mean PFS 18.4 months). Median pleural PFS was 13.6 months, with pleural recurrences occurring in only 32%. Overall, 79% experienced recurrence or unresectable disease progression, and distant failure was most commonly observed (53%).Conclusion
This study demonstrates that surgery and intraoperative PDT can achieve durable local control and prolonged survival for NSCLC patients with pleural dissemination. Compared with current standard treatment, which offers a median survival of 6-9 months from pleural metastasis diagnosis, our cohort lived a median of 24.7 months from pleural diagnosis and 21.4 months from surgery/PDT. This study also demonstrates that surgery/PDT can be performed with acceptable morbidity. Distant recurrence was the most common failure, indicating need for improved adjuvant systemic therapy. These results are sufficiently encouraging to warrant further study and suggest that stage IVA NSCLC patients with pleural dissemination, good performance statuses, disease limited to one hemithorax, and of the mind to be aggressive about their disease could be considered for this investigational treatment approach.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO21.04 - Prognostic and Therapeutic Implications of the Aromatase Expression in Lung Adenocarcinoma Harboring EGFR Mutation (ID 2242)
10:45 - 10:50 | Author(s): T. Yano
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
A significantly greater proportion of females and adenocarcinoma patients is found in never-smoking NSCLC groups than in smoking NSCLC groups. Recent studies have demonstrated that estrogens may contribute to the carcinogenesis and development of lung carcinoma. In the present study, we investigate the correlation between the expression of aromatase (CYP19-1) and clinicopathologic factors and assess the prognostic significance of the aromatase expression in patients with primary lung adenocarcinoma.Methods
The aromatase mRNA expression levels in the primary tumors and corresponding nonneoplastic lung specimens of 110 Japanese patients who underwent complete resection for primary lung adenocarcinoma were evaluated using quantitative RT-PCR. The relationships between the aromatase expression and clinicopathologic factors or survival were analyzed. To test the growth inhibitory effects of the aromatase inhibitor exemestane alone and in combination with the EGFR-TKI erlotinib in vitro, the cell proliferation of the lung adenocarcinoma cell lines HCC4006 and 11-18 was measured according to the WST-8 method.Results
The mRNA expression level of aromatase in the carcinoma tissues was significantly higher than that in the corresponding normal lung tissues (P = 0.013). The aromatase expression in the lung adenocarcinoma tissues was not correlated with the clinicopathologic factors, including patient gender, age, smoking status, EGFR mutation status or pathologic stage. A high aromatase expression was associated with a poor prognosis in terms of both the recurrence-free survival (RFS) (P = 0.004) and overall survival (OS) (P = 0.003). A multivariate analysis showed that the aromatase expression was a significant prognostic factor, with a relative risk of 2.35 (P = 0.043) for RFS and 5.19 (P = 0.004) for OS. We further stratified the population according to gender, smoking status and EGFR mutation status. A high aromatase expression was related to a poor prognosis in femles (RFS; P = 0.008, OS; P < 0.001), never-smokers (RFS; P = 0.009, OS; P < 0.001) and patients with EGFR mutations (RFS; P = 0.005, OS; P = 0.003). A multivariate analysis showed that the aromatase expression was a significant prognostic factor, with a relative risk of 5.22 (P = 0.013) for RFS in the patients with EGFR mutations. HCC4006, harboring an EGFR mutation with a low aromatase mRNA expression, was not sensitive to exemestane alone or combination with erlotinib. In contrast, 11-18, harboring an EGFR mutation with a high aromatase mRNA expression, was sensitive to exemestane alone. In addition, cell growth was significantly inhibited by the combination of exemestane and erlotinib.Conclusion
A high expression of aromatase is correlated with a poor outcome in patients with lung adenocarcinoma, especially those harboring EGFR mutations. Aromatase may be a therapeutic target in lung adenocarcinoma with a high aromatase expression and with an EGFR mutation.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.

MO22.07 - Local treatment of oligometastatic recurrence after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer. (ID 932)
11:10 - 11:15 | Author(s): T. Yano
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
We previously reported a retrospective study indicating the prognostic impact of local treatment of postoperative oligometastases in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Yano T et al. J Surg Oncol 2010;102:852-855). However, previous studies have not been sufficient to determine the therapeutic significance of local treatment for postoperative oligometastases since the conclusions were based on retrospectively collected data and the assessment of overall survival. In the present study, we prospectively observed postoperative oligometastatic patients and investigated the effects of local treatment on progression-free survival (PFS).Methods
Using a prospectively maintained database of patients with completely resected NSCLC treated between October 2007 and December 2011, we identified 52 consecutive patients with postoperative recurrence. Of these patients, 31 suffering from distant metastases alone without primary site recurrence were included in this study. In order to exclude cases of second primary carcinoma of the lungs, the criteria of Martini and Melamed, modified by Antakli et al., were used to differentiate between second primary lung cancer and pulmonary metastasis. According to the definition of ‘oligometastases’ as limited recurrence potentially controlled with local treatment, 17 patients had oligometastatic disease. The number of metastases was less than four.Results
The oligometastatic sites included the lungs in five patients, the brain in four patients, bone in four patients, the lungs and brain in two patients, the adrenal glands in one patient and soft tissue in one patient. Fifteen of the 17 patients first received local treatment. Three patients (lung, adrenal gland, soft tissue) underwent surgical resection, and the remaining 12 patients received radiotherapy. The median PFS was 33 months in the oligometastatic patients who received local treatment. There were seven patients with a PFS of longer than two years. The metastatic sites in these patients varied, and the number of lesions in three patients was two or three. On the other hand, the two remaining patients first received a systemic chemotherapy of their own selection. The PFS of these two patients was five and 15 months, respectively.Conclusion
Both our previous retrospective study and the present study favor a choice of local treatment in patients with postoperative oligometastatic NSCLC.Only Members that have purchased this event or have registered via an access code will be able to view this content.
