Background:
Visceral pleural invasion (VPI) is reported to be associated with poor prognosis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, whether a tumor size larger than 3cm with VPI should be upgraded to the next T stage remains unclear. In addition, few studies have clarified the impact of VPI according to nodal status, and whether degree of VPI (PL1, PL2) affects survival is controversial. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of VPI and also develop a prognostic nomogram.
Methods:
We retrospectively reviewed the SEER database from 2004 to 2011. Inclusion criteria were defined as: first and only primary NSCLC treated with lobectomy; staging as T1-3N0-2M0, no other non-size-based T factors except VPI. Tumors were divided into 10 groups: A, 0-2cm, non-VPI; B, 0-2cm, VPI; C, 2-3cm, non-VPI; D, 2-3cm, VPI; E, 3–5cm, non-VPI; F, 3–5cm, VPI; G, 5–7cm, non-VPI; H, 5–7cm, VPI; I, >7cm, non-VPI; J, >7cm, VPI. Kaplan-Meier overall survival (OS) curves were compared using the log-rank test. A Cox proportional hazard model was used, and identified independent prognostic factors were entered into the nomogram.
Results:
A total of 26,315 patients were finally identified, 5,941 patients (22.6%) had VPI. VPI showed an adverse impact in all tumor size groups in N0 status (p<0.001). Cox regression showed that VPI is an independent risk factor (HR 1.25; 95%CI 1.19-1.31). In N0 status, the survival rates were significantly different between B with C and D with E groups (p<0.001), whereas not significantly between F with G (p=0.405) and H with I (p=0.506). In N1 and N2 status, only the A and B groups showed a distinct survival impact (p=0.001). Between 2010 and 2011, 5,632 patients performed the elastic stain for differentiating the degrees of VPI, and survival was not significantly different between PL1 and PL2 (p=0.568). The C-index of the nomogram was 0.68. The calibration curves showed optimal agreement between nomogram prediction and actual observation of OS.Figure 1
Conclusion:
The presence of VPI, rather than the extent (PL1, PL2) has an adverse impact on NSCLC patients and N0 status. In a future TNM staging system, VPI should lead to upstaging to the next T category in current 3-7cm tumors. VPI is more aggressive in early-stage tumors, while its prognostic impact in node positive and locally invasive tumors is less significant. We further established and validated a nomogram to provide individual prediction of OS. The nomogram could be helpful for clinicians in decision making.
