      Background:
      Background: The presence of N2 lymph node (LN) involvement has strong impact on therapy and prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). N2 LN metastasis may occur by skipping N1 LN stations (N2skip-met). We aim to analyze incidence, local distribution and impact of N2skip-mets in a large cohort of patients undergoing curative resection for NSCLC.

      Methods:
      Methods: A retrospective non-interventional singe-center cohort study was conducted, assessing all patients undergoing curative resection for NSCLC between 2006 and 2013 at our institution by reviewing medical charts. Incidence of N2skip-mets among these patients was the primary endpoint. Subsequent secondary correlation of clinical parameters was performed using uni- and multivariate logistic and cox regression models.

      Results:
      Results: In total, 1110 patients were enrolled, with the following pathological LN status: 789 (71%) pN0, 211 (19%) pN1, 105 (9.5%) pN2, 5 (0.5%) pN3. Histological subtype was: adenocarcinoma, n=675 (61%); squamous cell carcinoma, n=309 (28%); other, n=126 (11%). Incidence of N2skip was 55% (47/105). N2skip-mets occurred more frequently in right sided tumors (odds ratio (OR) 2.14, p=0.058) and patients with adenocarcinoma (vs. other, OR 1.54, p=0.19). Presence of N2skip-mets did not correlate with tumor size (ROC, area under curve (AUC) 0.44, p=0.32). Strikingly, presence of N2skip-mets was significantly increased in smokers (OR 3.5, 95% CI 1.38-8.83, p=0.006). Moreover, patients with N2skip-mets were more likely to develop subsequent brain mets (OR 4.13, p=0.06). Overall- and recurrence free survival will be presented at the conference.

      Conclusion:
      Conclusion: N2skip-mets occur in a high number of patients with N2 disease, with distinct differences in clinicopathologic features. Considering the results of this study, subclassification of N2 disease as recently proposed by the IASLC may have clinical impact in patients with resectable NSCLC.

      P3.04-003 - Incidence and Outcome of Female Patients with Previous Breast Cancer Undergoing Curative Resection for Lung Cancer (ID 4178)

      14:30 - 15:45  |  Author(s): M. Nguyen

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Due to recent improvements in breast cancer (BC) therapy and outcome, female patients with BC may be at higher risk of developing secondary malignancies such as lung cancer (LC). The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence and outcome of previous BC in female patients with resectable lung cancer.

      Methods:
      A retrospective non-interventional singe-center cohort study was conducted, assessing all female patients undergoing curative resection for LC between 2006 and 2013 at our institution by reviewing medical charts. Follow-up will be completed in September 2016. Incidence of previous BC among these patients was the primary endpoint. Subsequent secondary correlation of clinical parameters was performed using uni- and multivariate logistic and cox regression models.

      Results:
      Allover, 463 female patients with LC were identified. The incidence of previous BC was 8.6% (40/463). Mean age was 64.1 years (SD ± 11.5) and was not different between patients with LC and LC/BC. Main histological LC subtype was adeno-carcinoma (64%; squamous cell, 23%; other, 13%). Stage (TNM-7) distribution was: I, 64.5%; II, 22%; III, 12.5%. Lobectomy was the preferred anatomical resection and mean hospital stay was 8.3 days. Complication rate was 7.6%. Recurrence free and overall survival will be presented at the conference. There were no statistical differences between patients with LC/BC and LC with regard to main clinical parameters and short term outcome.

      Conclusion:
      Due to improvements in breast cancer therapy, a reasonably number of patients developing subsequent lung cancer is observed. Short-term outcome of patients with LC/BC is similar to those with LC.
