      Background:
      Targeted therapeutics such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) have recently been introduced into clinical practice for individuals with NSCLC positive for actionable mutations of EGFR or ALK fusions, respectively. Molecular profiling that is able to predict the response to such drugs has thus become an important therapeutic strategy, allowing selection of the most appropriate treatment for individual patients.

      Methods:
      Matched lung cancer tissue and serum specimens were collected from 150 patients who underwent surgery at Tokyo Medical University Hospital from January 2013 to July 2014. All tissue samples were stored at –80°C until analysis. Tumor DNA and cfDNA samples were subjected to analysis with next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels for mutation detection.

      Results:
      All tumor DNA samples were successfully sequenced with the Ion Proton platform. The median read number per amplicon was 15,632. We identified TP53 mutations in 58 cases (38.7%); EGFR mutations in 56 (37.3%); KRAS mutations in 15 (10.0%); CTNNB1 mutations in 7 (4.7%); ERBB2, PIK3CA, BRAF, and PTEN mutations in 3 each (2.0%); and ERBB4, MET, ALK, FGFR2, NRAS, AKT1, and FBXW7 mutations in 1 each (0.7%). No mutation was detected in 22.0% (33/150) of the samples. Serum cfDNA was extracted for all 150 patients, with a median yield (copy number) of 4936 (range, 572 to 373,658). A total of 149 of the 150 (99.3%) cfDNA samples were successfully sequenced with the Ion Proton platform, with sequencing failure being due to an insufficient read number per amplicon in the one unsuccessful case. The median read number per amplicon for the 149 successfully sequenced cfDNA samples was 33,982.

      Conclusion:
      These results suggested that detection of mutations in cfDNA of patients with disease at stage IA or IB or at T2a or lower is difficult, and that the feasibility of mutation detection with cfDNA may depend on the T factor rather than the N factor. Tumor volume in the cfDNA mutation–positive group was significantly greater than that in the cfDNA mutation–negative group (159.1 ± 58.0 versus 52.5 ± 9.9 cm[3], p = 0.014). The maximum tumor diameter calculated at diagnosis was also larger in the cfDNA mutation–positive group than in the cfDNA mutation–negative group (5.3 ± 0.7 versus 4.1 ± 0.3 cm, p = 0.050). These results suggested that tumor volume is a determining factor for the feasibility of mutation detection with cfDNA.

      P1.04-015 - Clinical Application of Virtual Navigated Bronchial Intervention (ID 4996)

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

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Removal of endobronchial tumor is considered the first treatment of choice to improve respiratory status to dilate and maintain the airway. In patients with inoperable tumors we frequently regard endoscopic treatment as the first treatment of choice, but the indications and decisions regarding the method require careful consideration. We reported the indications and efficacy of virtual navigated bronchial intervention for the treatment of bronchial tumors. To select safer and precisely approach for patients with bronchial tumors, we evaluate virtual navigated bronchial intervention using a high-speed 3-dimensional (3D) image analysis system, Synapse Vincent (Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan).

      Methods:
      We set out to clarify, based on retrospective evaluation of routine work-up data in our charts and patient treatment data, the efficacy of virtual navigated bronchial intervention for the treatment of different types of bronchial tumors, yet representative of the spectrum of conditions we encounter, in order to provide a guide to techniques available in interventional bronchology for obstructive lesions. All computed tomography (CT) must satisfy several conditions necessary to analyze images by Synapse Vincent. Synapse Vincent provides more information not only concerning tumor size and shape, but also whether the tumor invades surrounding tissue and the extent of airway and vessel involvement. Constructed images are displayed on a monitor, which can be utilized for deciding the simulation and interventional strategy and for navigation during interventional manipulation.

      Results:
      In these cases, Synapse Vincent was used to determine the best planning of virtual navigated bronchial intervention. The feasibility and safety of Synapse Vincent in performing useful preoperative simulation and navigation of interventional procedures lead to the safer, more precise, and less invasive for the patient, and easy to construct an image, depending on the purpose, in 5-10 minutes using Synapse Vincent. Moreover, if the lesion is in the parenchyma or sub-bronchial lumen, it helps to perform simulation with virtual skeletal subtraction to estimate potential lesion movement. By using virtual navigated system for simulation, bronchial intervention was performed with no complications safely and precisely.

      Conclusion:
      Preoperative simulation using virtual navigated bronchial intervention reduces the surgeon’s stress levels, particularly when highly skilled techniques are needed to operate on lesions. This task, including interventional simulation and navigation both pre- and during manipulation, could lead to greater safety and precision. These technological instruments should be helpful for bronchial intervention procedures, and are also excellent devices for educational training.

      P1.08-034 - Prognostic Impact of EGFR Mutation in Patients with Surgically Resected Lung Adenocarcinoma; Analysis about Subtypes of EGFR Mutations (ID 6031)

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

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutations have an important role for predicting the prognosis in advanced or recurrent lung cancer patients. However, the significance of EGFR mutation as a prognostic factor for survival after complete resection remains controversial. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of mutational status in patients with surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma.

      Methods:
      We retrospectively investigated the data of 414 patients (pts) with p-stage I-IIIA adenocarcinoma who underwent completely tumor resection in our hospital from 2009 to 2013. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) , and clinico-pathological factors affecting these factors were evaluated.

      Results:
      There were 202 males and 212 females (median age, 67 years). In total, 270 (65%), 66 (16%) and 78 pts (19%) had p-stageI, II and IIIA disease respectively. In all 210 pts (51%) with EGFR mutation were detected. Eighty-six pts (21%) had exon 19 deletion (19 del) and 113 pts (27%), exon 21 mutation (L858R). Among 414 pts, 131 pts (31%) had lung cancer recurrence. The median follow-up period was 38.6 months. p-stageI mutant/wild:145/125, II:24/42, and IIIA:41/37. The 3-year survival rates of p-I-II and IIIA mutant/wild were 96.8%/92.1% and 81.6%/61.8% respectively. The median survival time of p-stageIIIA mutant was 80.5 months, and those of others were not reached. The 3-year DFS of p-I-II and IIIA mutant/wild were 78.3%/69.2% and 27.1%/45.1%, respectively. There were no significant difference in OS and DFS at each p-stage despite the EGFR mutational status. Compared to the wild type, the p-IIIA mutant group had a poor DFS. conversely, compared to wild type, the p-I mutant group showed a favorable DFS. According to the subtypes of EGFR mutation, there were no significant differences among EGFR subtypes, but pts with 19del tended to have the worst DFS. In subgroup analysis of 131 pts with recurrence, 3-year survival rate of p-I-II and IIIA mutant/wild were 92.0%/75.8% and 80.8%/45.6% respectively. Pts with p-IIIA mutant showed significantly favorable OS than those of wild type (p=0.014) as well as with p-I-II wild type. Although OS was not significantly different among the subtypes of EGFR mutation, pts with 19del showed statistically better prognosis than shown by the wild type (p=0.038).

      Conclusion:
      EGFR status was an independent prognostic factor in pts with surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma. Particularly, EGFR exon 19 deletion might be the strongest predictive factor of poor DFS and good OS in resected lung adenocarcinoma.

      P2.02-017 - A Clinical Outcome of Resected Small-Sized Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer 1 cm or Less in Diameter with N2 Lymph Node Metastasis (ID 5573)

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

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      The detection of small-sized (≤ 1cm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has increased with the development of high-resolution computed tomography. The reported 5-year survival rate of T1a (≤ 2cm) N0M0 patients is more than 80%, and that of p-T1a (≤ 2cm) N2M0 patients has also steadily improved.

      Methods:
      Between 1991 and 2011, a total of 917 patients with small-sized (≤ 2cm) NSCLC underwent curative pulmonary resection with systematic lymph node dissection at Tokyo Medical University Hospital and Tokyo Medical University Ibaraki Medical Center. We retrospectively evaluated their postoperative clinical outcomes and survival rates. Survival was analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test.

      Results:
      There were 46 (5.0%) patients with mediastinal lymph node metastasis in pT1a (≤ 2cm). And there were 6 (0.6%) patients with pT1a (≤ 1cm) N2M0. The histological types were 3 cases of adenocarcinoma, 2 case of squamous cell carcinoma, and one large cell carcinoma. The respectively status of lymph node metastasis was single station in 2 cases and multiple station in 4 cases. Skip lymph node metastasis was observed in 2 cases. There were 26 cases (56.5%) that were upstaged from clinical diagnosis in pT1a (≤ 2 cm) N2M0 patients. There was one upstaging case from cT1a (≤ 1 cm) N0M0 to pT1a (≤ 2 cm) N2M0. The median overall survival period and 5-year survival of patients in pT1 (≤ 2 cm) N2M0 was 52.1 months and 45%. And patients with pT1a (≤ 1 cm) N2M0 has 29.8 months and 0% (3 year overall survival rate was 33.3%). The recurrence rate was 71.7% (5/6) and disease free survival was 13.2 months.

      Conclusion:
      This study showed that 5.0% of small-sized (≤ 2 cm) NSCLC had N2 disease and 0.6% of T1a (≤ 1 cm) NSCLC has pN2. Moreover, 56.5% of small-sized (≤ 2 cm) NSCLC was upstaged from clinical diagnosis to pathological diagnosis. The patients with pT1a (≤ 1 cm) N2M0 had worse survival data than the patients with pT1a (≤ 2 cm) N2M0. We recommend systematic lymph node dissection for local treatment as well as accurate diagnosis. As multiple mediastinal node metastases showed an unfavorable prognosis, surgery combined with systematic treatment is recommended.

      P3.01-028 - Comparison of Touch Imprint Cytology and Section Histopathology in the Diagnostic of the Small Peripheral Lung Tumors (ID 5997)

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

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      There have been some reports on transbronchial biopsy (TBB) through endobronchial ultrasonography with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS) for diagnostic sampling of small-sized tumors which showing ground-glass opacity (GGO) on chest CT. However, technique such as EBUS-GS is limited in their ability to diagnose such small lung tumors. The discussion about the cytological features of small tumors with GGO in detail is necessary. We evaluated about the association of the cytological features with the histological examination using the surgically resected specimen. 140 patients, age between 23–86 years old, who showed clinical and radiological signs of peripheral lung tumors below 3.0cm in diameter, underwent surgical resection at our institution between 2013 and 2015.

      Methods:
      Imprints or touch preparation and squash smears preparation were prepared from the unfixed, fresh sample in 140 cases. Papanicolaou's stain was employed in all cases. To make the squash smears preparation, the slides are drawn apart away from each other, in the direction of the long axis of the slide. Tissue fragments taken from surgical specimen were fixed with 10% neutral buffered formalin and stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E).

      Results:
      By histological examination (in the 140 cases), the diagnostic of lung cancer was given with the establishing of the histological type. In 110 cases (78.6%) of the cases diagnosed as adenocarcinoma, in 21 cases (15%) squamous cell carcinoma, in 4cases (2.9%) was neuroendocrine tumors, and one case each of adenosquamous carcinoma, pleomorphic carcinoma and pleomorphic sarcoma. In 84 of the 110cases (76.3%), the result of imprint cytological examination was adenocarcinoma. In the 110 pathological diagnosed as adenocarcinoma cases, 52 patients (47.2%) are below 2.0cm in size. Tumor stamps of small sized adenocarcinoma are characterized by moderate cellularity and are composed of atypical cells arranged in small flat sheets. The nuclei are generally round, slightly hyperchromatic with small nucleoli.

      Conclusion:
      Our data indicate the fact that the cytological examination on stamps from surgical material offers a very high percentage of positive results, close to the histological one. But in the tumor size less than 1.0cm, the establishing of the histological type of lung cancer is more difficult by cytological examination. Despite this, the cytology may be extremely useful in diagnose of the small peripheral tumors. The cytological characteristics of small peripheral adenocarcinoma were little reference to the differentiation at the cellular level. Our findings indicated that the presence of several nucleoli and granular chromatin densely are the factors of adenocarcinoma.
