      Background:
      Accurate staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is vital for prognostication and treatment selection. We evaluated the impact of the 8[th] Edition TNM (8E) T-classification in a US regional NSCLC resection database.

      Methods:
      Curative-intent NSCLC resections from 11 hospitals in 4 contiguous Dartmouth Hospital Referral Regions within 3 US states from 2009-2016 were re-staged based on 8E T-categorization. Survival analyses were conducted using the Kaplan-Meier method and proportional hazards models with adjusted hazard ratios (aHR) controlling for age, histology, grade, pN-category, and comorbidities. M1 patients and those who received neoadjuvant therapy were excluded.

      Results:
      The 2245 patients had a median age of 65, were 48% female, 78% white, 21% black. The 961 pT1 (8E) distribution was 10% pT1a, 52% pT1b, and 39% pT1c. The 793 pT2 (8E) patients were 82% pT2a and 18% pT2b. Of the 318 patients with pT3 (8E), 134 (42%) were pT2b based on the 7[th] Edition TNM (7E); of the 152 with pT4 (8E), 107 (70%) were pT3 based on 7E. There was no survival difference between pT1a and pT1b (p=0.83); pT1c had worse survival than pT1b (p<0.01; Figure 1a). Of the 145 patients previously classified as pT2b by 7E, 134 (92%) were upstaged to pT3. They had similar survival to those classified as pT3 in 7E (p=0.75). Of the 296 patients previously classified as pT3, 107 (36%) were upstaged to pT4. The upstaged patients had worse survival than 7E pT3 patients who were not upstaged, although not statistically significant (aHR:1.32, Figure 1b). Adjusted models confirm an increasing trend in the hazard of death with increasing stage, with the exception of pT1b. (aHR: pT1a=1.00, pT1b=0.89, pT1c=1.15, pT2a=1.38, pT2b=1.54, pT3=1.86, pT4=2.44). Figure 1



      Conclusion:
      This analysis independently corroborates the 8E re-classification for late stage patients in the US. However, we found no survival differentiation between tumors less than 2cm.

      P1.08-021 - Predictors of Post-Operative Mortality in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in a High Mortality Region of the US (ID 4447)

      14:30 - 14:30  |  Author(s): Y. Lee

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Surgical resection is recommended for most patients with early-stage NSCLC. High postoperative mortality risk diminishes the benefit of curative-intent surgery. We examined factors associated with mortality within 120 days of curative-intent resection in a population-based cohort.

      Methods:
      We examined all NSCLC patients with curative-intent resections from 2009-2016 in all 11 hospitals in 4 US Dartmouth Referral Regions. We evaluated patient demographics, disease characteristics, pre-operative evaluation, treatment, and perioperative complications to identify risk factors for 30-, 60-, 90-, and 120-day mortality using logistic regression models.

      Results:
      The 2,258 patients’ median age was 67, 48% were female; 78% were White, 21% Black. The 30-, 60-, 90-, and 120-day post-operative mortality rates were 4%, 6%, 8%, and 9%. After adjusting for all other factors, American Society of Anesthesiologists score (ASA) (p=0.0405), prior lung cancer (p=0.0406), and Charlson comorbidity score (p=0.0163) were associated with 30-day mortality. Adjusted models for 120-day mortality indicate associations with age (p=0.0001), tumor size (p=0.0012), intra-operative blood loss (p=0.0150), hospital (p=0.0065), ASA (p=0.0035), prior lung cancer (p=0.0466), and Charlson score (p=0.0064) (Table 1). Patients >75 years old had 1.5 times the odds of 120-day mortality compared with those <49. A Charlson score >=3 (vs. 0) conferred 2.7 times the odds of 120-day mortality. On average, each 1 cm increase in tumor size increased the odds of 120-day mortality by 12%. Patients with all three risk factors (age >75, Charlson score >=3, tumor >4cm) had 26.5% 120-day mortality. Although 17.5% of pneumonectomy patients died within 120 days, extent or duration of surgery were not significant after adjusting for other factors.

      Conclusion:
      Age, ASA, Charlson score, and tumor size are important risk factors for post-operative mortality. Inter-hospital disparity suggests an opportunity for institution-level corrective interventions. Patients with the combination of age >75, Charlson score >=3, and advanced T-category had a high rate of post-operative mortality.
