      P3.01-082 - Surgical Rebiopsy in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Resistant to Previous Chemotherapy (ID 10505)

      09:30 - 09:30  |  Presenting Author(s): Sumin Shin

      • Abstract

      Background:
      To optimize the personalized medicine for advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), sufficient tumor tissue is mandatory to analyze molecular and genetic profile. The demand for repeat biopsy in NSCLC is increasing, it is more difficult to obtain specimen after initial treatment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of surgical rebiopsy in advanced NSCLC.

      Method:
      From Jan 2014 to Mar 2017, 146 consecutive patients underwent surgical rebiopsy for NSCLC which was resistant to prior chemotherapy. Their medical record were reviewed retrospectively.

      Result:
      There were 60 male and 86 female patients with mean age of 57 years (range 30-83). Adenocarcinoma was most common histologic type (n=142, 93%). Among them, 107 patients represent EGFR mutation before chemotherapy, deletion in exon 19 (n=73) was most frequently observed. Before surgical rebiopsy, 121 patients (83%) were treated with EGFR-TKIs. The mean number of change in chemotherapy regimen was 2 (range 1-6) and 24% of patients underwent more than 3 different chemotherapy before rebiopsy. The median time between initial treatment and rebiopsy was 17.4 months (IQR 9-25). Surgical rebiopsy was possible in all cases. One hundred and seven patients (73%) underwent pleura biopsy, 22 underwent lung resection and 12 patients underwent both pleural and lung resection. Most procedure underwent video-assisted thoracic surgery (n=136, 93%), 10 patients required mini-thoracotomy. Median postoperative hospital stay was 4 days (IQR, 3-6) and the 30-day mortality was 2.7%. All specimens were confirmed as NSCLC and adequate for mutational and genetic analysis except 2 patients. One patient was failed to mutational analysis, other patients was failed to genetic sequencing due to low tumor volume. After surgery, 129 patients can resume chemotherapy. Of those, 85 patients were enrolled clinical trial or treated with new target agent. Thirty nine patients were treated with cytotoxic chemotherapy and 5 patients continued with prior target agent.

      Conclusion:
      Surgical rebiopsy can detect changes in cancer characteristics and may be used in therapeutic decision making in advanced NSCLC resistant to previous treatment.

      P3.04-011 - A Prospective Study to Optimize the Extent of Pulmonary Resection According to Decision-Making Algorithm in cStage IA NSCLC (ID 10047)

      Background:
      Recent advances in imaging technology and the widespread use of low-dose computed tomography screening have greatly increased the chance of detecting small-sized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with indolent features (radiologically ground-glass opacity and histopathologically lepidic pattern adenocarcinoma). This change in the disease pattern of NSCLC has led to a resurgence of interest in sublobar resection. The purpose of this study is to determine the outcome of patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC treated by 3 types of surgical resection (wide wedge resection, segmentectomy, or lobectomy) according to the institutional decision-making algorithm.

      Method:
      In this study, we are planning to prospectively enroll 1,000 patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC undergoing curative-intent surgical resection. Our decision-making algorithm regarding the optimal extent of pulmonary resection has been developed based on our institutional consensus building meetings. We are planning to prospectively measure radiologic features such as tumor diameter and consolidation/tumor (CT) ratio. For ≤ 2cm tumors with CT ratio of ≤ 0.25, wide wedge resection needs to be performed. For ≤ 2cm tumors with CT ratio of 0.25 to 0.5 or 2-3cm tumors with CT ratio of ≤ 0.5, segmentectomy should be chosen. When CT ratio is larger than 0.5, lobectomy is required regardless of tumor size. When either parenchymal or bronchial resection margin is found to be insufficient during surgery, segmentectomy or lobectomy should be done even when a lesser resection was planned. Resection margins greater than the maximal tumor diameter (lesions less than 2cm) or at least 2cm gross margins (lesions larger than 2cm) should be achieved. Hilar and mediastinal lymph node dissection or at least systematic lymph node sampling is strongly recommended for any kind of pulmonary resection.

      Result:
      The primary objective is to determine disease-free survival following sublobar resection and lobectomy. The secondary objectives are (1) to determine overall survival following surgery, (2) to determine rates of loco-regional and systemic recurrence following surgery, (3) to compare postoperative pulmonary function between 3 different resection types, (4) to explore the relationship between radiologic parameters and pathologic subtypes, and (5) to determine the predictors of unexpected nodal involvement.

      Conclusion:
      This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT03066297 (“OREX-IA” study) and we started recruiting patients in February, 2017 and will also be planning to follow up patients for at least 5 years to analyze their survival and recurrences.

      P3.08-006 - Treatment Response and Survival Outcomes Are Associated with Histologic Type in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Trimodal Treatment (ID 9972)

      Background:
      Trimodal treatment incorporating neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) and surgical resection is one of the treatment strategies for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with N2 disease. Although pathologic phenotypes as well as biological features might be different between adenocarcinoma (ADC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SqCC), histologic type has been rarely considered when selecting treatment strategy in patients with N2 disease. The aim of this study is to investigate if histologic type is associated with treatment response and survival outcomes in patients undergoing trimodal treatment for N2 disease.

      Method:
      A retrospective review of patients with N2 disease who underwent neoadjuvant CCRT followed by surgery at our institution was performed. Clinicopathologic features, response to CCRT, and survival outcomes were compared between ADC and SqCC.

      Result:
      From 2003 to 2013, 374 patients underwent curative-intent surgery after neoadjuvant CCRT for either ADC (n=233, 62.3%) or SqCC (n=141, 37.7%) with pathologically proven N2 disease. Sixty-nine patients (18.5%) had bulky and/or multi-stationed N2 diseases on pre-CCRT imaging tests. There were more male, more smokers, more advanced clinical T and N stages, and more bulky and/or multi-stationed N2 diseases in the SqCC group than in the ADC group. Conversely, the SqCC group had more radiologic responders, earlier pathologic T and N stages, more pathologic complete responders, and more frequent mediastinal downstaging than the ADC group. With a mean follow-up of 50.1 months, patients with SqCC showed significantly better 5-year recurrence-free survival than those with ADC (ADC, 22.8% vs. SqCC, 43%; p=0.001). However, there was no significant difference in the 5-year overall survival between the two groups (ADC, 57.5% vs. SqCC, 52.3%; p=0.366). This may be related to significantly better (p<0.001) post-recurrence survival in the ADC group (mean, 28 months) than in the SqCC group (mean, 14.5 months). In the ADC group, 164 patients developed recurrences and of those, 68 (41.5%) received targeted therapy. Patients who received targeted therapy for recurrences showed significant better 5-year overall survival than those who did not receive (61% vs. 45.6%, p=0.025).

      Conclusion:
      In this study, SqCC was associated with better treatment response and more favorable recurrence-free survival than ADC. Despite poor recurrence-free survival in ADC, its overall survival was improved by prolonged post-recurrence survival, which might be related to the use of targeted therapy for recurrence. Since treatment response and survival outcomes are different according to histologic type, individualized treatment strategy could be considered to improve outcomes of N2 disease.
