MA12.06 - Tumor Spread through Air Spaces (STAS) in Lung Squamous Cell Cancer is an Independent Risk Factor: A Competing Risk Analysis (ID 6051)
14:20 - 15:50 | Author(s): S. Bains
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) is a recently recognized pattern of invasion in lung adenocarcinoma, however, the incidence of and prognostic importance of STAS have not yet been defined in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
Methods:
In a cohort of 445 patients with p-stage I-III lung SCC, cumulative incidence of recurrence and lung cancer-specific death (LCSD) was evaluated by competing risks analysis and overall survival (OS) by Cox models.
Results:
76% of patients were >65 years of age. 273 patients died during follow up, one third (91, 33.3%) died of lung cancer whereas two thirds died of competing events or unknown cause. STAS was present in 132 (30%). The cumulative incidence of any, distant, and locoregional recurrence as well as LCSD were significantly higher in patients with STAS compared to those without STAS (Figure), whereas there was no statistically significant difference in OS. STAS was an independent predictor for both recurrence and LCSD in multivariable analysis (p=0.034 and 0.016, respectively, Table).
Conclusion:
STAS was present in one third of resected lung SCC and it was an independent predictor of recurrence and LCSD, supporting our proposal that STAS is a clinically important pattern of invasion and not an artifact. Figure 1 Figure 2

OA01.03 - Impact of Increasing Age on Cause-Specific Mortality and Morbidity in Stage I NSCLC Patients: A Competing Risk Analysis (ID 4952)
11:00 - 12:30 | Author(s): S. Bains
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
At the time of diagnosis, two-thirds of patients with lung cancer are ≥65 years of age with significant comorbidities. We sought to determine the short- and long-term cancer- and noncancer-specific mortality and morbidity in patients who underwent resection for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods:
Of 5371 consecutive patients who had undergone curative-intent resection of primary lung cancer (2000–2011), 2186 patients with pStage I NSCLC were included in the analysis. All preoperative clinical variables known to affect outcomes were considered, including, Charlson comorbidity index, predicted postoperative (ppo) diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO), and ppo–forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1). Association between factors and cause-specific mortality was performed using competing risks approach.
Results:
Of 2186 patients, 1532 patients (70.1%) were ≥65 years of age, including 638 patients (29.2%) ≥75 years of age. In patients ≥65 years of age, for up to 2.5 years after resection, noncancer-specific CID was higher than lung cancer–specific CID, the higher noncancer-specific early-phase mortality was enhanced in patients ≥75 years of age compared with 65-74 years of age (Figure 1a). Multivariable analyses adjusted by age, sex, smoking status, comorbidities, tumor size, and surgical procedures showed that low ppoDLCO was an independent predictor for severe morbidity (p<0.001), 1-year mortality (p<0.001), and noncancer-specific mortality (p<0.001), whereas low ppoFEV1 for lung cancer–specific mortality (p=0.002). PpoDLCO can be used for estimation of 5-year cumulative incidence of noncancer death (Figure 1b, right, red curve) because of its linear relation, whereas ppoFEV1 for lung cancer-specific death (Figure 1b, left, black curve).
Conclusion:
In patients undergoing curative-intent resection of stage I NSCLC, noncancer-specific mortality is a significant competing event, with increasing impact as patient age increases. Figure 1

P1.08-047 - Decreasing Use of Epidural Analgesia with Increasing Minimally Invasive Lobectomy: Impact on Postoperative Morbidity (ID 4941)
14:30 - 15:45 | Author(s): S. Bains
- Abstract
Background:
The goal of this study is to assess the impact of the decreasing use of epidural analgesia (infusion ≥24 hours) on the incidence of postoperative morbidity following minimally invasive surgical (MIS; includes VATS and robotic-assisted) lobectomy in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods:
We reviewed 1206 patients who underwent MIS lobectomy for pathological stage I-III NSCLC in 2009-10 (n=506) and 2014-15 (n=700) at our institution. Clinical data was obtained from a prospectively maintained database and by review of individual patient medical records. Patients with induction therapy (n=225) or conversion from MIS to thoracotomy (n=99) were excluded. Postoperative morbidity (≤30 days) was graded based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). Statistical comparison was performed using Chi-squared analysis and Fisher’s exact test.
Results:
A total of 884 patients were included in this study (2009-10, n=401; 2014-15, n=483). The rate of MIS lobectomy significantly increased in 2014-15 compared to 2009-10 (74% vs. 53%, p<0.001) with a simultaneous decrease in the use of epidural analgesia (92.9% vs. 53.6%, p<0.001; Figure 1A and 1B). In the MIS group, there was no difference in age, sex, or pathological stage between the 2009-10 and 2014-15 cohorts. There was no significant change in the incidence of any, severe respiratory or cardiovascular morbidity (CTCAE grade ≥3) following MIS lobectomy between the two time periods evaluated (Figure 1C). However, the incidence of CTCAE grade ≥2 respiratory morbidity in 2014-15 was higher than that in 2009-10 (7.1% vs. 12.6%, p=0.047).Figure 1
Conclusion:
In our study cohort, the observed decrease in use of epidural analgesia with the increasing rate of MIS lobectomy did not affect the incidence of severe postoperative morbidity.
