      • Abstract

      Background:
      The aim of this retrospective study was to review recurrence patterns of stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and identify prognostic factors for post-recurrence survival (PRS).

      Method:
      Among 940 patients with pathological stage I NSCLC who underwent curative resection between 2001 and 2009, 261 patients who had experienced a recurrence were included in this study. A total of 188 patients had adenocarcinoma (ADC), and 62 had squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Oligo-recurrence was defined as one to three locoregional or distant recurrent lesions restricted to a single organ. Potentially curative local treatment (PCLT) included surgery, stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), and photodynamic therapy.

      Result:
      The median follow-up duration was 65 months (range: 4–186 months), and the median disease-free interval (DFI) was 23 months (range: 2–95 months). The most common site of recurrence was the lung in 145 patients, followed by a mediastinal lymph node in 49 patients, pleura in 30 patients, and brain in 27 patients. Local treatment for recurrent tumors included surgery in 59 patients, SRT in 46 patients, photodynamic therapy (PDT) in 2 patients, and other radiotherapy in 41 patients. Seventy-eight patients received chemotherapy only, and thirty-five patients received conservative treatment. Among 125 patients who were evaluated for an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation study, positive results were detected in 63 patients, and 31 were treated with a EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI). The 3- and 5-year PRS rates were 49.1% and 33.8%, respectively. Age at recurrence, ADC cell-type, DFI, TKI, and PCLT were independent prognostic factors in a multivariate analysis.

      Conclusion:
      local treatment for recurrent tumors could be a good option for selected candidates. Local treatment seems to be a reasonable modality for treating oligo-recurrence, even an extrapulmonary recurrence. Use of an EGFR-TKI is applicable if an EGFR mutation has been detected. Further study is required to identify patients who are optimal candidates for local treatment.
