      Background:
      Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is recommended as a treatment option for centrally-located early lung cancers (CLELCs). Although PDT using Photofrin has not been recommended for large tumors or deeply invasive tumors, in the past, if their mass is reduced by electrocautery, PDT with the NPe6 second-generation photosensitizer has been found to be capable of destroying the residual cancer lesion. NPe6 is a second-generation photosensitizer, and since it has a longer absorption band (664 nm) than Photofrin (630 nm), we hypothesized that NPe6-PDT would exert a strong antitumor effect against cancer lesions greater than > 1.0 cm in diameter.

      Methods:
      Between June 2004 and October 2013, 128 patients (151 lesions) with CLELC underwent NPe6-PDT after the extent of their tumors had been assessed by fluorescence bronchoscopy for photodynamic diagnosis and tumor depth had been assessed by OCT.

      Results:
      Ninety-four cancer lesions ≦1.0 cm in diameter and 57 lesions >1.0 cm in diameter were identified, and the CR rate was 93.6% (88/94) and 96.5% (55/57), respectively. After the mass of large tumors and deeply invasive tumors, had been reduced by electrocautery, NPe6-PDT was capable of destroying the residual cancer lesions.

      Conclusion:
      NPe6-PDT has a strong antitumor effect against CLELCs >1.0 cm in diameter, thereby enabling the destruction of residual cancer lesions after mass reduction of large nodular or polypoid type-lung cancers by electrocautery. The PDT guidelines for lung cancers should therefore be revised, because use of NPe6-PDT will enable expansion of the clinical indications for PDT.

      P2.03-001 - Perioperative Cardiac Events in Patients with Coronary Artery Stent Undergoing Lung Resection for Lung Cancer (ID 2530)

      Background:
      Many patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) receive coronary artery stents. Some of them require major lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with coronary artery stent have problems with antiplatelet therapy. After coronary artery stent, patients need dual antiplatelet therapy for a while to decrease the risk of stent thrombosis. The ACC/AHA Guidelines recommended continuation of dual antiplatelet therapy for 4 to 6 weeks after bare-metal stent (BMS) placement and 12 months for a drug-eluting stent (DES). Lung resection with discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy may increase a risk of perioperative coronary event in patients with CAD. Many patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) receive coronary artery stents. Some of them require major lung resection for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with coronary artery stent have problems with antiplatelet therapy. After coronary artery stent, patients need dual antiplatelet therapy for a while to decrease the risk of stent thrombosis. The ACC/AHA Guidelines recommended continuation of dual antiplatelet therapy for 4 to 6 weeks after bare-metal stent (BMS) placement and 12 months for a drug-eluting stent (DES). Lung resection with discontinuation of antiplatelet therapy may increase a risk of perioperative coronary event in patients with CAD.

      Methods:
      This retrospective analysis is based on all patients with coronary artery stent requiring major lung resection for NSCLC between January 2011 and December 2013 at Nippon Medical School Hospital, Tokyo, Japan.We retrospectively examined major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and perioperative management of the patients with coronary artery stent requiring major lung resection for NSCLC.

      Results:
      There were thirteen patients (5.8%) with coronary artery stent in two hundred twenty six patients who underwent radical lung cancer resection. The stent group had more males (p = 0.020). There were no differences in age, histological type, operative procedure, intraoperative blood loss, pathological stage and perioperative complication. Thirty-day MACE occurred one patient in the no-stent group (0.4%). There was no patient of MACE in the stent group. Overall 3-year survival rates were 93.2% and 92.3% in the no-stent group and the stent group, respectively (p = 0.545). In the stent group, all patients were managed by cardiologists to estimate the coronary risk and preoperatively discontinued aspirin and clopidogrel. Eight patients had taken cilostazol by three days before operation day, instead of aspirin.

      Conclusion:
      In this retrospective study, patients with coronary stent undergoing surgical therapy for NSCLC were not at risk of for perioperative MACE. Larger prospective studies are required to conclude the risk of in-stent thrombosis in patients with coronary stent required lung resection.
