P1.01-031 - Feasibility of Median Sternotomy Approach for Locally Advanced Lung Cancer (ID 2126)
09:30 - 17:00 | Author(s): H. Sato
- Abstract
Background:
Trimodality therapy is one of therapeutic options for local advanced lung cancer. While a posterolateral thoracotomy was used as the standard approach, a median sternotomy with or without transverse thoracotomy is applied if necessary. In our institution, we have applied median approach for patients who need dissection of contralateral mediastinal lymph nodes or clamp of great vessels, mainly pulmonary artery, for a safe resection. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and clinical outcome of median sternotomy approach for locally advanced lung cancer after chemoradiotherapy.
Methods:
Between March 2002 and December 2014, 35 non-small-cell lung cancer patients underwent radical surgery with median sternotomy approach after induction chemoradiotherapy . The medical records were reviewed to investigate clinical outcomes including perioperative complications.
Results:
The median patient age was 59 years (range: 41–77 years). There were 28 men and 7 women in the series. The histological subtype was adenocarcinoma in 21 patients, squamous cell carcinoma in 14. 16 patients had stage IIIA disease, and 19 had stage IIIB disease. The median postoperative hospital stay was 23 days. As notable perioperative complications, 12 patients revealed tachycardia that needs medication, 6 pneumonia, 3 radiation-induced pneumonitis, one wound ablation, one bronchial stump fistula, and one chylothorax. All of them were manageable. There was no treatment-related death in this cohort. As patients’ survival, the 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 77.7 % and 67.1 %, respectively. The 1-year and 3-year recurrence-free survival rates were 75.4 % and 63.4 %, respectively.
Conclusion:
Our experience indicates that median sternotomy approach for locally advanced lung cancer after ChRT is feasible procedure after chemoradiotherapy.

P1.04-036 - Primary Pulmonary Melanoma: A Report of Two Cases (ID 2109)
09:30 - 17:00 | Author(s): H. Sato
- Abstract
Background:
Malignant melanoma is a refractory malignancy with a dismal prognosis. It generally arises from the skin in most cases, and cases of primary pulmonary malignant melanoma are rare and often behave aggressively. We have treated two cases of localized primary pulmonary malignant melanoma by surgical resection. Although cutaneous melanomas often carry activating mutations in the BRAF gene (V600E) and express programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), little is known about primary pulmonary malignant melanoma.
Methods:
We determined the BRAF mutational status (exons 11 and 15) by direct sequencing in the two tumors. Next, we performed a target sequencing analysis using the Human Lung Cancer Panel (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany), which targets 20 lung cancer-related genes including most of the exons in BRAF, using the same samples. We evaluated the expression of PD-L1 on the surface of the tumor cells by immunohistochemical testing in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor specimens with the use of a rabbit monoclonal antihuman PD-L1 antibody.
Results:
No BRAF mutations and PD-L1 expression were detected in both of two cases. We detected a p53 mutation, which was thought to be a potential somatic mutation, in one of the two cases using a sequencing panel targeting 20 lung cancer-related genes.
Conclusion:
We encountered two cases of malignant melanoma of the lung that did not carry activating mutations in the BRAF gene. Further molecular analyses may uncover the characteristics of primary malignant melanoma.
