      Background:
      There is no large scale study of the initial surgery for patients with cN2 disease who received positron emission tomography (PET). We investigated the outcomes of initial surgery for patients with cN2 disease who had received PET, by conducting a multi-institutional retrospective study.

      Method:
      Clinical data for 143 patients who had cN2 disease and underwent initial surgery at 12 Japanese institutions in Thoracic Surgery Study Group of Osaka University (TSSGO) between January 2006 and December 2013 were collected. After reviewing all the data for eligibility, completeness, and consistency, 8 cases were excluded. The remaining 135 cases were feasible for analysis. Among these patients, 98 received PET and were analyzed.

      Result:
      The median follow-up was 56.5 months (2-110 months). The median age was 67 (35-80) years. There were 71 males and 27 females. The histology was adenocarcinoma (n=66), non-adenocarcinoma (n=33). The tumor location was the right upper lobe and left upper segment (n=66, 67.3%), and the others (n=32, 32.6%). Of 98 patients, 85 (86.7%) had clinical single N2 disease and 80 (81.6%) had no mode of spread lesion and 90 (91.8%) underwent lobectomy. The 5-year relapse free survival (RFS) rate and the 5-year overall survival (OS) rate for patients with cN2 were 34.6% and 46.6%. There were 24 patients (24.9%) with cN2pN0,1 and 74 patients (75.5%) with pN2. Of 74 patients with cN2pN2 disease, 42 (59.5%) had pathological single N2 disease and 40 (54.0%) underwent adjuvant chemotherapy. The 5-year RFS for the patients with cN2 in the cN2pN0,1 and cN2pN2 groups were 62.2% and 26.0%, respectively (p=0.0025). The 5-year OS for the patients with cN2 in the cN2pN0,1 and cN2pN2 groups were 74.8% and 40.0%, respectively (p=0.029). Moreover, we provided the following 3 criteria: primary tumor in right upper lobe or left upper segment, N2 disease with regional mode of spread, and patients who did not undergo pneumonectomy. 60 patients who fulfilled all of these criteria were regarded as specific group. The 5-year OS for the patients with cN2 in the specific group and non-specific group was 55.8% and 32.0%, respectively (p=0.024).

      Conclusion:
      Among patients with cN2 disease, those with pN2 disease were more in number in our study than in previous reports. Our patients with cN2pN2 had better survival compared with those in previous reports. In particularly, patients with clinical N2 disease in specific group have a favorable prognosis. An initial surgery may be considered as a treatment option for these patients.
