P1.05-052 - An Exploratory Analysis of Postoperative Adjuvant Chemotherapy with Tegafur-Uracil on Survival for Lung Adenocarcinoma (ID 4551)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): M. Ohta
- Abstract
Background:
The Eighth Edition of the TNM Classification (TNM 8[th]) for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) proposes a more detailed classification of primary tumor diameter (T). Tegafur-uracil (UFT) improves survival in patients with stage I adenocarcinoma of the lung based on the results of Japan Lung Cancer Research Group (JLCRG: Kato H, et al. N Engl J Med. 2004). However, it is controversial whether the effect of UFT on survival in each T category be the same when TNM[8th] is adopted.
Methods:
This exploratory analysis was performed on the subgroup of 979 eligible patients in JLCRG study. The hazard ratio and the 95% confidence interval (CI) for overall survival in each T category of TNM 8[th] were estimated using stratified Cox proportional hazards models, stratified by sex and age. The overall survival in each T category was estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method.
Results:
The UFT group and the observation group were reanalyzed based on the new classifications of T category defined by TNM[8th], T1a (T, ≤1 cm), T1b (T, >1 to ≤2 cm), T1c (T, >2 to ≤3 cm), T2a (T, >3 to ≤4 cm), T2b (T, >4 to ≤5 cm), and T3 (T, >5 to ≤7 cm). The major prognostic factors did not differ significantly between these two groups in each T category. The benefits of UFT on overall survival varied in each T category (Table 1). Figure 1
Conclusion:
UFT tended to improve survival in each T category defined by TNM[8th], except for T1b, when compared to surgery alone.
