P1.13-001 - T1 Tumor(≪3cm) with Visceral Pleural Invasion Should Be Classified as T2a in the 8th TNM Classification for Lung Cancer (ID 9004)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): Wen -Feng Li
- Abstract
Background:
The eighth edition TNM classification for lung cancer subclassified T2 into T2a (>3 to ≤4cm) and T2b (>4 to ≤5cm). T1 tumor(<3cm) with visceral pleural invasion(VPI) should be classified as T2a or T2b remain unclear. To elucidate this, we analyzed the survival of non–small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC) patients from Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) registry and our institute.
Method:
Within the SEER database, we selected 24245 resected pN0 NSCLC patients from 2010 to 2013 with a special interest in the prognostic impact of VPI. The VPI was defined as including PL1 and PL2 according to the TNM system. The classification of T1 tumor with VPI was investigated via discriminative power of survival curves. The further validation set was selected from Guangdong Lung Cancer Institute (GLCI).
Result:
The overall survival (OS) and lung cancer specific survival (LCSS) of T1-VPI and each stage (size only) were compared. The survival differences were statistically significant between T1-VPI and T1c, as well as T1-VPI and T2b. There were no significant survival differences between T1-VPI and T2a (OS: p=0.706; LCSS: p=0.792). And we retrospectively collected pN0 NSCLC patients between 2011-2013 from GLCI. The progression-free survival(PFS) and OS differences were also observed between T1-VPI and other groups except T2a (PFS: p=0.852; OS: p=0.970).
Conclusion:
In the 8th TNM classification for lung cancer, in which T1 tumors with VPI are upgraded to T2a, rather than T2b. Figure 1

P3.01-051 - Dramatic Response to Afatinib in EGFR-Mutant Lung Adenocarcinomas After Resistance to First-Generation EGFR Inhibitors: A Brief Report (ID 9706)
09:30 - 09:30 | Presenting Author(s): Wen -Feng Li
- Abstract
Background:
T790M inhibitor, a third-generation epithelial growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI), was significantly superior to chemotherapy for EGFR-mutant patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring T790M mutation after resistance to the first-generation EGFR-TKIs. However, for those without acquired T790M mutations or MET amplification, few data showed whether the second-generation EGFR-TKI could overcome resistance to the first-generation EGFR-TKIs.
Method:
EGFR mutation was detected by amplification refractory mutation system (ARMS) technology. Overexpression of MET was determined by immunohistochemistry (IHC), and MET amplification was detected by FISH. Next generation sequencing (NGS) was used to test tumor tissues before and after resistance to TKIs.
Result:
Patient 1 was a 53-year-old Asian male, who underwent surgery followed by adjuvant chemoradiotherapy with an 11 months of disease-free survival. A biopsy was performed and revealed an activating deletion mutation in exon 19 of the EGFR. He started gefitinib 250mg once daily and achieved an initially good partial response (PR) followed by continuously stable disease for a progression-free-survival (PFS) about 29 months. A rebiopsy showed that exon 19 deletion mutation still existed without an acquired T790M mutation or MET amplification. He refused to receive chemotherapy so we prescribed afatinib 40mg daily. He then achieved a dramatic PR 23 days later which was confirmed 1.5 months after that. We sent tumor tissue of the patient before and after TKI therapy for NGS, the result showed a decreasing abundance of EGFR exon 19 deletion without T790M mutation, MET amplification and Her2 mutation/amplification. Patient 2 was a 63-year-old Asian female harboring EGFR exon 20 insertion (A763-Y764 ins), who received first and second lines of chemotherapy with short PFSs. He was enrolled in the trial of allitinib (AST-1306) as the third line therapy with the best response of stable disease(SD) and the PFS of 7 months. A later rebiopsy showed the strong overexpression of MET, but the forth-line therapy crizotinib failed. He then received chemotherapy as the-fifth line therapy, 4 cycles later he progressed. So he started afatinib 40mg daily. His symptoms were relieved significantly 5 days later, and PR was confirmed 1.5 months later.
Conclusion:
Afatinib might overcome resistance to the first-generation EGFR-TKIs for EGFR-mutant patients with advanced NSCLC without acquired T790M mutation or MET amplification. Further investigations are warranted.
