    • Abstract

    Background:
    The prevalence of NSCLC as a second primary tumor has been increasing over the past decades, though very little data are available in the literature. We analyzed the NCDB, an oncology outcomes database administered by the American College of Surgeons and the American Cancer Society, to study the outcomes and patterns of treatment of patients (pts) diagnosed with NSCLC as a second or subsequent primary (SP).
    
    Methods:
    The NCDB was queried from 2004 to 2012 for NSCLC pts. Pts diagnosed with NSCLC as SP were compared with pts with de novo (DN) NSCLC as defined by sequence number in the database. Univariate (UV) and multivariable analyses (MV) with overall survival (OS) were conducted by Cox proportional hazards model. Kaplan-Meier plots were produced to compare the survival curves by subgroups along with log-rank p-values.
    
    Results:
    A total of 207,518 pts in SP and 697,709 pts in DN groups were included in the analysis, which accounted for 22% and 74% of all NSCLC pts respectively. Pt characteristics (SP/DN %): median age 72/68, male 53/53, white 89/84, stage IV 28/41, treated at academic centers 33/32, government insured 72/57, mean tumor size (cm) 3.5/4.4. An increasing trend in incidence of SP was observed (19.5% in 2004 to 24% in 2012) vs. a decreasing trend in DN (75.6% in 2004 to 73% in 2012). About 12% in SP and 15% in DN received chemotherapy as part of their treatment. Surgery was performed in 39% of SP group vs. 28% in DN. Radiation was given to 43% of the pts in DN vs. 36% in SP. On UV and MV analysis, SP was associated with better survival than DN (HRs 0.84 and 0.93 respectively; p<0.001). The SP group had higher 5-year OS (23% vs. 19.6%, p<0.001) and a higher median survival (17 vs. 11.5 months) compared to DN. On stratifying by stage, DN had inferior survival in stage IV pts (HR 1.12, p<0.001) compared to SP but better survival in stage I and II pts (HRs 0.86 and 0.93, p<0.001). No difference in OS was seen in stage III pts (HR 1.01, p= 0.4).
    
    Conclusion:
    The incidence of second primary has increased over the past decade. Second primary NSCLC is diagnosed at an earlier stage, smaller tumor size, and is associated with a better survival, compared to de novo NSCLC.
