P1.05-072 - Predictors and Patterns of Lymph Node Metastasis in Small Peripheral Non Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 4268)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): R. Liao
- Abstract
Background:
Lobectomy is the standard treatment of early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and wheather sublobar resection is appropriate for small peripheral small NSCLC or not is unclear. PET-CT is a powerful imaging modality for the detection of lymph node metastasis with a relatively low false-negative rate. We identified predictors and patterns to identify false-negative N(+) disease in PET-CT.
Methods:
A total of 435 consecutive cN0 peripheral NSCLC underwent curative-intent resections following PET-CT scans from January 2008 to December 2014 in our hospital, we analysed patients’ clinicopathological data retrospectively. 171 patients with tumour size≤2cm were enrolled to identify predictors and patterns of lymph node metastases by multivariable analysis. The cut‑off values, sensitivity and specificity for the predictors were calculated using a receiver operating characteristic curve. The patterns of lymph node metastases were also analysed.
Results:
In total, 9.4% (16/171) PET-CT-diagnosed N0 NSCLC cases were pathologically N1/N2 disease. The preoperative CEA was a unique independent risk factor for lymph node metastasis (OR = 0.914, 95 CI% = 0.85–0.98, P = 0.009). According to ROC curve, we divided the patients into two groups by CEA: the N(+) rates in the CEA ≤1.67 and CEA＞ 1.67 groups were 1.6% (1/64) and 14.0% (15/107), respectively (P =0.007). In 16 patients with lymph node metastasis, 7 were N1 disease, and 6 out of 9 N2 diseases were skip N2 disease. 93.5%(15/16) lymph node metastases were found in adenocarcinoma and 11 of them were single station metastases. The metastases rates in solid and subsolid lesions were 12.8%(16/125) and 0%(0/46)(P=0.007), retrospectively. Solid/mucinous/ micropapillary predominant adenocarcinoma were associated with LN metastases(31.2% vs 7.1%, P=0.01).
Conclusion:
The preoperative CEA was an independent risk factor for lymph node metastases in cN0 NSCLC with T ≤ 2cm. In patients with CEA＞1.67, sublobar resection should be avoided before thorough lymph node sampling that include intrapulmonary lymph node while patients with CEA ≤ 1.67 may be candidate for sublobar resection, especially in GGO lesions. In patients with solid/mucinous/ micropapillary predominant adenocarcinoma, sublobar resection should be avoided due to high LN metastases rate.

P2.03b-043 - Peripheral Blood CD45RA+ CCR7+ Naive T Cells Were Correlated with Prognosis in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patients (ID 5999)
14:30 - 14:30 | Author(s): R. Liao
- Abstract
Background:
CD45RA+ CCR7+ naive T cells were reported to generate effectors possessed the high potent cytotoxic activity and low level of "exhaustion" T cells in vitro. However the relationship between frequency of naïve T cells in peripheral blood and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is not clear. In order to elucidate this relationship, we first analyzed the frequency of CD45RA+ CCR7+ naïve T cell in peripheral blood of healthy population and patients with NSCLC.
Methods:
The frequency of CD45RA+ CCR7+ naïve T cells was calculated by flow cytometry from healthy volunteers and NSCLC patients. The correlation of naive T cell frequency and overall survival (OS) of NSCLC patients who were treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or chemotherapy was statistically analyzed.
Results:
105 healthy volunteers (age rank 23-85year-old) and 137 NSCLC patients (age rank 33-86year-old) were enrolled in our study from 2013 October 1st to 2015 December 1st. Our results showed that the frequency of peripheral blood naïve T cells in NSCLC patients’ (Mean=17.8±5.7%) was significantly lower than that in healthy subjects’ (Mean=31.2±5.2%) (p<0.05). The frequency of naïve T cell was negatively correlated with the frequency of PD-1+CD8+ T cells (R[2]=0.1111, p<0.001) in peripheral blood of NSCLC patients, whereas, which was positively associated with the immune activity of CD8+ T cells and with the frequency of lymphoid stem cells or lymphoid progenitor cells in peripheral bloods (R[2]=0.1521, p<0.001). In the patients who were treated with TKIs，mOS in the group of high frequency of naïve T cells (>17.8%) was not reached, while that of group with low frequency (17.8%) was 19.0m (HR=0.3057, 95% CI 0.1127- 0.8291, p=0.0199). In patients who were administered chemotherapy, the mOS in the naïve T cells low frequency group was 12.0m, but in the high frequency group the median OS was undefined (HR=0.3286, 95% CI 0.1100 0.9817, p=0.0463).
Conclusion:
Our study shows that the CD45RA+ CCR7+ naïve T cells in peripheral blood closely related with immune response, and the frequency of naïve T cells in peripheral blood is positively associated with prognosis of NSCLC, which can be worked as a valuable prognostic factor for NSCLC patients.
