      P2.16-022 - Initiative for Early Lung Cancer Research on Treatment: Pilot Implementation (ID 10165)

      09:30 - 16:00  |  Author(s): Anthony Reeves

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      We have initiated a new multi-center, international collaborative cohort study, the Initiative for Early Lung Cancer Research for Treatment (IELCART), which focuses on identifying optimal treatment for early stage lung cancer An issue under discussion is the extent of surgery (i.e., sublobar resection and no mediastinal lymph node resection) in order to decrease the length and morbidity of the surgical procedure, preserves pulmonary function, and increases the likelihood of resection of future new occurrences of lung cancers. The role of Stereotactic Body Radiation (SBRT), and for certain cases, Watchful Waiting (WW) also needs to be better delineated. Increasingly, the power of large prospective databases collected in the context of clinical care is being recognized as providing important information.

      Method:
      Based on an extensive literature review, scientific articles, and a series of focus sessions with patients and treating physicians, a common protocol has been developed. Relevant data forms were developed for both physicians and patients, both for pre- and post-surgery to account for potential confounders. These forms have been tested and entered into a web-based data collection system that also includes relevant imaging data. Initial enrollment focused on surgery.

      Result:
      Initial enrollment was limited to surgical clinics of 8 surgeons and a total of 174 patients (94 women, 80 men) agreed. Average age was 67.5 years and pack-years of smoking was 31.4. Patients stated that the internet was the most frequent source of information (35%), while family/friends, medical literature were used much less frequently (each <20%). Factors influencing the patient pre-treatment choice was that the physician thought it was best (93%) or what would provide the best outcome (87%); only 38% got a second opinion. The surgeon’s choice of procedure depended mainly on the location (75%), size of the nodule (64%), and the ability to have negative parenchymal margin (40%), with other considerations being much less likely (<26%). There was good agreement between patients’ and surgeons’ perceptions of the procedure, although the patients not fully prepared about the post-treatment consequences of surgery. Patients also thought that support groups were important in patients’ decisions on what was the best surgery.

      Conclusion:
      These results together with quality of life information and focus sessions suggest that more support in the post-operative phase of the treatment would be beneficial. Within the next 3 years, we anticipate to have statistically meaningful results to start to compare outcomes of alternative treatments.

      P2.16-023 - Changes of the Pulmonary Artery After Resection of Stage I Lung Cancer (ID 10238)

      09:30 - 16:00  |  Author(s): Anthony Reeves

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Radiologists focus on the anatomic changes in the lung itself when interpreting postoperative surveillance CT scans, but the anatomic and physiologic effects of lung resection on the other organs of the thorax, specifically the pulmonary artery (PA), have not been well studied. Potential variations in PA size over time have been recognized as predictors of post-surgical complications and the development of pulmonary hypertension.

      Method:
      The International Early Lung Cancer Action Program (I-ELCAP) database was queried for lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomy and had both preoperative and postoperative CT imaging. Case-specific details were previously recorded in the database as per I-ELCAP protocol. All surgeries were performed by general thoracic surgeons. All CT imaging for each patient was reviewed by a fellowship-trained chest radiologist. Figure 1



      Result:
      Among the 142 subjects who underwent lobectomy, the median follow-up time from the pre-surgical CT to the last reviewable CT was 53.2 months (IQR: 27.9-100.4 months). The average increase in the size of the main pulmonary artery (mPA) was 1.5 mm (19.9 mm to 21.4 mm, P < 0.0001). There was also a significant increase between the pre-surgical CT and the initial postoperative CT which was on average 12.6 months later from 19.9 mm to 20.7 mm (P = 0.0002). Considering patients with and without CT evidence of emphysema, the 82 with emphysema had a smaller average change of the main PA between the pre-surgical and the last reviewable CT than the 60 without emphysema (1.0 mm vs. 1.8 mm, P = 0.08).

      Conclusion:
      Patients undergoing lobectomy appear to be at increased risk for enlargement of their pulmonary artery diameters after surgery. These results show that a focus on all the organs in the thorax, not just the lungs themselves, is important when evaluating postoperative lung resection CTs.

      P2.16-024 - Effect of Resection of Stage 1 Lung Cancer on Lung Volume (ID 10248)

      09:30 - 16:00  |  Author(s): Anthony Reeves

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      The anatomic and physiologic effects of lung resection for early stage lung cancer patients have not been extensively reported. We hypothesize that patients who have undergone lobectomy or wedge resection will have reduced lung volume on the affected side immediately after surgery while the lung volume on the opposing side may increase to compensate.

      Method:
      The Mount Sinai database was queried for stage 1 lung cancer patients who underwent lobectomy or wedge resection and had both pre-operative and postoperative CT imaging. Surgeries were performed by thoracic surgeons. The lung volumes on all CT scans were measured using previously published research software including actual volumes for each lung (left and right) at each time point as well as a set of volumes normalized to the overall chest volume in order to compensate for differences in inspiration.

      Result:
      In the cohort of 21 patients who met the above criteria, the median follow-up time from the date of surgery to the most recent CT was 44.6 months (IQR: 23.5-94.7 months). The median age was 63 and the median pack years was 40. There were 2 patients for which only one post-op scan was successfully analyzed; the remaining cases all had two postop scans. In 20 of the 21 patients, the lung volume on the side where the surgery occurred was reduced in the first postop CT scan (average reduction in volume of 5.6%). The change in volume of the contralateral side (not undergoing surgery), was highly variable, with 11 cases showing an increase in volume on both post-op scans, 2 cases showing a decrease, and 8 cases showing an increase in volume at the first postop scan followed by a decrease in volume on the second post-op scan.

      Conclusion:
      Stage 1 lung cancer patients undergoing resection have reduced lung volume on the side of surgery, however there was marked variability in the contralateral lung suggesting that the extent to which patients compensate post operatively is complex and dependent on many factors.
