P1.04-035 - Clinicopathologic and Biological Characteristics of Young Age Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 2421)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): K. Ohtani
- Abstract
Background:
The Japan Lung Cancer Society, Japanese Association for Chest Surgery, and Japanese Respiratory Society jointly established the Japanese Joint Committee for Lung Cancer Registration. The Japanese Joint Committee reported that number of resected lung cancer patients under 40 years of age in Japan was 101 cases of 11663 registered patients in 2004. Apparently there are many people on their 50s to 70s who was resected for treatment of lung cancer. Lung cancer in patients under 40 years old is rare. Young lung cancer patients should have specific characteristics.
Methods:
We performed 2835 operations for lung cancer for 15years from 2000 through 2014 in our hospital. Among 2835 patients with lung cancer, 47 patients were younger than 40. Among 47 patients 26 patients were male and 21 patients were female. We examined characteristics of young lung cancer patients by clinicopathologic and molecular biologic characteristics.
Results:
Among patients with operation, pathological stage IA, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB were 24, 6, 3, 2, 6, 5 cases, respectively. 36 cases were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. Squamous cell carcinoma was only one case. 3 cases were diagnosed as large cell carcinoma. Most of young lung cancer cases were diagnosed as adenocarcinoma. 5-year survival of resected lung cancer patients was 74%. 5-year survival of inoperable cases was 23.8%. We will show the biological characteristics of young age lung cancer patients. 9cases showed EGFR sensitive mutation. 4 cases showed the transforming EML4-ALK fusion gene.
Conclusion:
Young lung cancer patients showed specific clinicopathologic and molecular biologic characteristics compared with the older age patients.

P2.02-006 - Development of the New Photodynamic Therapy for Peripheral Type Lung Cancer (ID 2322)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): K. Ohtani
- Abstract
Background:
In Japan, photodynamic therapy (PDT) has been recommended for the treatment of centrally located early lung cancers (CLELC). With recent advances in the diagnosis lung cancer, we continually attempt to expand the indications of PDT, not only for CLELC but also for peripheral type lung cancer. PDT for peripheral lung cancer could be one of the desirable treatment options for patients without surgical indication such as poor pulmonary function. To perform PDT for peripheral lung nodules, it is necessary to use a thin and flexible laser fiber that can sufficiently reach the peripheral lung parenchyma. In this study, we evaluated the feasibility and efficacy of a plastic laser fiber for peripheral PDT.
Methods:
A plastic fiber (cylindrical light diffuser Model RD [Medlight, Switzerland]) was used as a laser fiber for peripheral PDT. The laser output and the light irradiation distribution of the RD cylindrical light diffuser were measured and compared with those of the Panasonic cylindrical probe currently used for PDT. NPe6-PDT was performed for peripheral pig lung. One week after PDT, the pigs were dissected and the lung was removed. The efficacy of NPe6-PDT was evaluated by the pathological findings.
Results:
The mean difference in laser output and the laser source output was 17.7±1.6% for the Panasonic cylindrical fiber and 11.6±3.1% for the RD cylindrical light diffuser. For the light irradiation distribution, the RD cylindrical light diffuser was able to produce more uniform irradiation than the Panasonic cylindrical fiber. The pathological findings showed necrotic tissue and infiltration of lymphoid cells at the laser irradiation area. Around the necrotic tissue, thickening of the alveolar walls and obstruction of the vessels due to thickening of the vascular endothelium were observed.
Conclusion:
The cylindrical light diffuser Model RD showed comparable laser irradiation to the Panasonic cylindrical fiber. The animal experiment showed the effect of PDT in peripheral lung. We conclude that PDT for peripheral lung using the new fiber is feasible and could become one treatment option for peripheral lung cancer.
