P1.02-007 - The Histologic Subtype of Lung Adenocarcinoma Should Not Deter Sublobar Resection for Patients with Clinical Stage IA Lung Cancer (ID 2516)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): M. Kamel
- Abstract
Background:
The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer/American Thoracic Society/European Respiratory Society pathological classification of lung cancer allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the prognostic factors associated with subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma. Micropapillary and solid (MIP/SOL) subtypes have been associated with higher recurrence rates. Some have therefore suggested that sublobar resection (SLR) should be considered a compromise procedure in patients with MIP or SOL tumors. We conducted this study to examine the effect of the resection type [lobectomy (LO) or SLR] on oncological outcomes of patients with MIP/SOL.
Methods:
A retrospective review of a prospective database (2000-2014) was performed to identify patients with clinical stage IA adenocarcinoma, excluding pure ground glass opacities. Propensity score matching (age, gender, FEV1%, and clinical tumor size) was done to obtain balanced cohorts of patients undergoing LO and SLR. The presence of MIP and/or SOL components (≥5%) was assessed by a single pathologist to avoid inter-observer bias. The SLR group of patients had more comorbidities. Therefore, deaths from causes other than lung cancer were censored and freedom from recurrence was used to assess oncological outcomes. Survival analysis was done using the Kaplan Meier method. Multivariable analysis (MVA) was done using Cox regression.
Results:
This study included 300 patients (150 LO vs. 150 SLR, including 77 segmentectomy and 73 wedge resection). Patients undergoing SLR had higher Charlson comorbidity index (P=0.002) and lower DLco% (P=0.01). Patients undergoing LO were more likely to have nodal assessment (99% vs. 85%,P<0.001). Otherwise, no differences in the clinicopathological characteristics were found between the two groups. The presence of ≥5% MIP and/or SOL components was found in 135 patients; LO (58), SLR (77). The 3-year probability of freedom from recurrence in the whole cohort was: MIP (77%), synchronous MIP/SOL (76%), and SOL (61%), compared to 86% freedom from recurrence for other pathological subtypes (median follow-up 41 months). The probability of freedom from recurrence in patients with MIP/SOL subtypes showed a trend favoring the LO group (P=0.092). However, when we excluded patients with SLR with resection margin <1 cm (n=64), there was no difference between LO (80%-72%) and SLR (81%-75%) at 3 and 5 years respectively (P=0.812)(Fig.1). Also, the type of resection (LO/SLR) was not associated with higher recurrence rates in the MVA of the whole cohort. Figure 1
Conclusion:
SLR can be safely performed in clinical stage-IA lung adenocarcinoma, regardless of the histological subtype, provided that a resection margin >1 cm is obtained.

P1.03-005 - Bilobectomy for Lung Cancer: Postoperative Results, and Long-Term Outcomes (ID 3124)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): M. Kamel
- Abstract
Background:
Bilobectomy for treatment of lung cancer is considered a high-risk procedure as it is associated with increased postoperative complication rate and the negative impact on survival. We analyzed the safety and the oncologic results of this procedure.
Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed a prospectively collected database to retrieve patients who underwent bilobectomy for lung cancer between 1991 and 2015. Age, gender, neoadjuvant treatment, bilobectomy type and indication, complications, pathology, stage, and survival were analyzed using Cox regression in univariate and multivariate analysis. Kaplan–Meier survival curves were obtained and compared by log–rank.
Results:
From our 4144 resected lung cancer cases, bilobectomy was performed on 106(2.5%) patients (55 men; mean age, 65.5 years). There were 51 upper-middle and 55 middle-lower bilobectomies (adenocarcinoma,67 (63.3%); squamous cell carcinoma,35(33%); carcinoid tumor,4(3.8%)). Indications were tumor invasion of the bronchus intermedius in 58 (54.7%), vascular invasion in 26 (24.5%), and tumor crossing the fissure in 22 (20.8%) patients. Induction therapy was performed in 24 patients (24.5%). Thirty-day mortality was 1.89% (n = 2). Overall major morbidity occurred in 13 patients ( 12.3%) among them 9 patients(69.2%) had pulmonary complications . Overall 3 and 5-year survivals were 64.5% and 56.2% respectively. Disease free 3 and 5-year survivals were 47.4% and 43.8% respectively. Significant decrease in 5 year survival was observed among smoker (p=0.046), higher tumor grades (Grade3 versus 1or2 (p=<0.005)), higher stages (stage I, 66.6%; stage II, 51.5%; stage III, 31.2%; p = 0.012)(see Figure) and the nodal(N) disease s (N0, 58.2%; N1and 2, 38.1%; p = 0.054) adversely influenced survival. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that a higher tumor grade (p = 0.005), a larger tumor (p=0.019), advanced N status (p=0.085) and smoking (p=0.056) adversely affecting prognosis. Figure 1
Conclusion:
Bilobectomy is associated with a low mortality and an acceptable morbidity. Survival relates to disease stage and N factor. Optimal prognosis is obtained in patients with early stage, low grade tumors and nonsmoker.
