MA 17.13 - Impact of Histologic Subtype of Locally Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma on Outcomes After Definitive Chemoradiation (ID 10382)
17:05 - 17:10 | Presenting Author(s): Abraham J. Wu
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Micropapillary and solid subtypes of lung adenocarcinoma have significantly worse outcomes and survival after surgical resection for early-stage disease. These subtypes have recently been shown to have higher locoregional and metastatic progression after definitive stereotactic radiation therapy (SBRT) as well. However, the potential impact of histologic subtype on locally advanced disease treated with definitive concurrent or sequential chemoradiation (CRT) has not been previously explored. We sought to identify high-risk subtype patients treated with CRT, and compare their outcomes with those not known to have high-risk histologic subtypes.
Method:
We identified 249 consecutive patients with stage IIIA-B lung adenocarcinoma who had undergone CRT at our institution from 2008 to 2015. All patients had pathology reviewed by pathologists at our institution with subspecialty expertise in thoracic pathology. Twenty-five patients had elements of micropapillary and/or solid subtype on core biopsy, according to the 2015 World Health Organization classification. The remaining 224 patients were considered non-high-risk (8 patients had core biopsy with no high-risk subtypes identified; 216 patients either did not undergo core biopsy or did not have subtyping performed). Local, nodal, regional, and distant failure were estimated using cumulative incidence (CI) curves and compared using the log-rank test. Time to each event was measured from the date of diagnosis until the event of interest or the last follow-up visit.
Result:
With median followup of 19.7 months, there was a trend towards greater 2-year CI of local failure in the high-risk vs. non-high-risk group (40.7% vs. 26.7% p=0.060). The 2-year CI of nodal, regional, and distant failure in high-risk versus non-high-risk groups was 30.9% vs. 32.6% (p=0.576), 24.7% vs. 20.1% (p=0.468), and 63.9% vs. 59.8% (p=0.272), respectively, though statistical power was limited due to the small number of known high-risk patients.
Conclusion:
Though only a limited proportion of patients had demonstrated high-risk subtypes in this cohort, there was a trend towards earlier local failure in locally advanced adenocarcinoma patients treated with definitive concurrent or sequential chemoradiation, similar to what has been observed for early-stage tumors treated with SBRT. Hence, high-risk histologic subtype may be a prognostic factor for early treatment failure in locally advanced adenocarcinoma patients treated with CRT. We suggest that core biopsies, which are required for histologic subtyping, should be obtained more often in these patients, to allow for further study of the hypothesis that histologic subtype predicts outcomes after definitive chemoradiation.

P3.15-011 - Contemporary Treatment and Prognosis of Non-Metastatic Atypical Bronchopulmonary Carcinoid Tumors (ID 10424)
09:30 - 09:30 | Presenting Author(s): Abraham J. Wu
- Abstract
Background:
Despite rising incidence, there remains limited data guiding the prognostication and treatment of patients with bronchopulmonary carcinoid tumors, particularly atypical carcinoids. We report outcomes of a large, modern, single-institutional series of patients treated for localized or locally advanced atypical carcinoid of the lung.
Method:
We retrospectively analyzed the demographic, histologic and treatment histories of 69 patients (74% female) with median age of 65 at diagnosis (range 31-83) who were treated between 2004-2016. The Kaplan-Meier method was used for overall survival (OS) estimates and compared by log-rank. Cox proportional hazards models were used for univariate (UVA) and multivariate analyses (MVA).
Result:
Median follow-up time was 33.6 months. The majority (96%) of patients underwent surgical resection (86% R0, 9% R1, 3% R2) with common approaches being lobectomy (59%), wedge resection (13%) and pneumonectomy (9%). Three patients (4%) received definitive radiotherapy as their local treatment. Nearly half (49%) of patients had nodal involvement with a stage distribution of 39% stage I, 25% stage II and 36% stage III. Twenty-one patients received chemotherapy as part of their initial treatment, 81% of whom had stage III disease. Sixteen patients received radiotherapy (median 50.4 Gy, range 18-66 Gy) as part of their initial treatment, most of whom received postoperative radiation for N2 disease (63%). Five patients (31%) received postoperative radiotherapy due to concern of incompletely resected disease. Higher stage was significantly associated with poorer OS (p=0.04). 3-year OS for Stage I, II and III disease was 96%, 88% and 72%, respectively. Stage I disease also had a significantly lower risk of distant metastasis compared to Stage II/III disease (17% vs. 31% at 3 years p=0.04). On UVA, Stage III disease was significantly associated with poorer OS (HR 4.7, p=0.021) and risk of distant failure (HR 2.8, p=0.039). Multivariate modeling showed that older age (HR 1.05, p=0.03) and stage III status (HR 6.6, p=0.009) were predictive of poorer OS. For stage III patients treated surgically, receipt of adjuvant therapy (chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy) was not significantly associated with OS (p=0.36) or distant failure (p=0.69).
Conclusion:
This is one of the largest reported series of atypical pulmonary carcinoid patients treated with curative intent. We observed generally favorable prognosis in this cohort that was primarily treated with surgery. We did not observe a significant impact of adjuvant therapy on outcomes, but small patient numbers limit our ability to quantify their potential effect.
