P1.03-044 - EUS-Guided Sampling of Mediastinal Lymph Nodes and Abdominal Lesions in Lung Cancer (ID 5147)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): T. Yoshida
- Abstract
Background:
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS–TBNA) was introduced to provide access to mediastinal and hilar lymph nodes. However, it is difficult to use EBUS to approach the aortopulmonary window and paraesophagaeal stations. Transesophageal endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) was introduced to provide access to this area. In addition, transgastroduodenal endoscopic ultrasound can evaluate abdominal lesions.
Methods:
Endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA) was performed under conscious sedation with the administration of intravenous midazolam and pethidine hydrochloride. It was performed with a convex array echoendoscope connected to an ultrasound scanning system. Lymph nodes of paraesophageal, subcarinal, lower paratracheal, subaortic, and upper paratracheal regions were evaluated from esophagus. Left adrenal gland and right adrenal gland were evaluated from stomach and duodenum, respectively. Abdominal lesions were also evaluated from stomach and duodenum. After obtaining tissue via EUS-FNA, the tissue was reviewed immediately (rapid on-site cytopathological evaluation: ROSE) by a cytopathologist. Subsequent punctures in the same patient were not performed before confirming the results of ROSE so as to minimize the complications.
Results:
As to the lymph node level, the lower mediastinum and the aortopulmonary window are particularly important for detection by transesophageal EUS, whereas pretracheal and hilar lymph nodes are out of reach because of the interposition of air from the trachea and bronchi. EUS was chosen to assess the posterior mediastinum nodes (#5, 7, 8, or 9) but not the anterior ones. A final diagnosis was obtained by EUS-FNA in 76 patients. The lesions sampled were mediastinal lymph nodes (n=64; #5, 7, 8, or 9), abdominal lymph nodes (n=8), and adrenal gland (n=4).
Conclusion:
Repeat tumor biopsies from patients with acquired resistance were initially obtained through research efforts to ascertain mechanisms of resistance, but are now recommended to help select second-line therapies. However, such biopsies are associated with both risk and discomfort and may not always supply enough tumor tissue for genetic analyses. Although EUS–FNA does not provide access to pretracheal and hilar lymph nodes, EUS-FNA is an accurate, safe, and minimally invasive modality for evaluating mediastinal lymphadenopathy and abdominal lesions in patients suspected of having lung metastases.

P1.07-007 - Clinical Outcomes of Patients with LS-SCLC Treated with Chemoradiotherapy. Can We Find Candidates for Salvage Surgery? (ID 5288)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): T. Yoshida
- Abstract
Background:
Although small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is generally considered a systemic disease even in patients with limited stage (LS). Selected recurrent LS-SCLC patients after chemoradiation treatment have been reported long survival with receiving salvage surgery. Purpose of this study was to find candidates for salvage surgery.
Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the charts of 43 consecutive patients who were treated with chemoradiotherapy for LS-SCLC at our hospital from January 2011 to December 2015 to search for the patients with locoregional progression without mediastinal lymph node involvement.
Results:
Of the 43 patients, the median age was 69 (38-83), 91% were male and all of them had ECOG PS 0 or 1. Clinical stage: IIA (12%), IIIA (53%), IIIB (35%). 35 (81%) received hyperfractionated RT (45Gy/30fr/3w). Objective response rate was 95%. One patient died of pneumonia. The median survival time was 1584 days and the median progression free survival was 280 days. 33 (77%) demonstrated disease progression. The first progression site was distant (include pulmonary metastasis and malignant pleural effusion) in 17, locoregional in 11, lymph node metastasis out of the radiation field in 2 and both distant and locoregional in 3. In the locoregional progression patients, 6 developed mediastinal lymph node progression in their clinical courses. Finally, 5 in 33 progressive patients had locoregional progression without mediastinal lymph node progression, and were thought possible candidates for salvage surgery.
Conclusion:
Most of the patients experienced distant metastasis and/or mediastinal lymph node progression. About 15% of patients who presented with apparently localized disease at the primary pulmonary site after chemoradiation might become possible candidates for salvage surgery.

P3.02b-097 - Experience of Re-Biopsy (Biopsy at Progression) of EGFR Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients in Japan: A Retrospective Study (ID 4049)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): T. Yoshida
- Abstract
Background:
To confirm mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapy and to evaluate future treatment strategy, biopsy at progression is important and necessary. Since biopsy at progression is not standard of care, we investigated real-world clinical practice in Japanese patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation.
Methods:
This was a retrospective, multi-center, observational study in Japan. EGFR mutation positive NSCLC patients who developed disease progression after treatment by EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor were enrolled. The primary objective was the success rate of re-biopsy (biopsy at progression). The secondary objectives were differences of between the first biopsy and re-biopsy (e.g. sampling method, target organ of biopsy) and complications associated with re-biopsy.
Results:
395 patients were evaluated, median age was 63 years, and the most common histological type was adenocarcinoma (96.2%). Success rate of re-biopsy was 79.5% (314/395) of patients. Compared with the first biopsy, surgical biopsy increased from 1.8% to 7.8%, percutaneous tissue biopsy increased from 7.6% to 29.1%. Most commonly performed gene mutation tests using specimen collected by re-biopsy were EGFR (94.3%), EML4-ALK (22.0%) and KRAS (14.3%). T790M mutation was detected in 147 (49.7 %) out of 296 patients. 23 patients (5.8%) had complications associated with re-biopsy, the most common complication was pneumothorax. A repeated re-biopsy was successful in 87.5% (28/32) of patients.Table. Re-biopsy success rate by site and sampling method No. of patients Success rate (%) By Site Primary site 220 168 (76.4%) Metastatic site 121 103 (85.1%) Lymphnodes 50 40 (80.0%) Others 4 3(75.0%) By sampling method Transbronchial biopsy; forceps 204 147(72.1%) Transbronchial biopsy; needle 41 34 (82.9%) Percutaneous needle biopsy under CT guidance 77 66 (85.7%) Percutaneous needle biopsy under ultrasonic guidance 36 34 (94.4%)
Conclusion:
The observed success rate of re-biopsy was approximately 80% in this study. T790M detection rate was comparable to the previously reported studies. Re-biopsy for the EGFR TKI failure NSCLC patients is feasible in Japan.
