      Background:
      Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has been associated with an increased risk of relapse and mortality in several cancer locations, but the prognostic value of T2DM or its metabolic control (MC) in patients (pts) with stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have not been studied yet. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the influence of T2DM and its MC on the prognosis of pts with NSCLC treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy (cCT-RT).

      Methods:
      170 pts with NSCLC stage III treated with cCT-RT at the Catalan Institute of Oncology from 2010-2014 were retrospectively reviewed. The overall survival (OS) and progression free survival (PFS) were calculated using Kaplan-Meier method and multivariate Cox model was adjusted by: age, histology, stage, ECOG PS and smoking history.

      Results:
      Patient characteristics: median age 64y (37-87), male 87%; ECOG≤1 92%; smoking history: current 49%, former 46%, never 5%; histology: adenocarcinoma 34%, squamous 43%, NOS 23%. Platinum doublet CT: Cisplatin 64%, Carboplatin 36%. RT between 60-70 Gys: 94%. At a median follow-up of 38 months (m), 108 patients relapsed (63%), mPFS; 13m (95% CI 10-16) and mOS: 28m (95% CI 22-34). 54 pts (32%) had been diagnosed with T2DM before NSCLC diagnosis. In the overall population mean baseline glycemia was 6.75 mmol/L (3-17). OS and PFS were significantly shorter in patients with T2DM (mOS 17m vs 31m, p=0,005; mPFS 10m vs 16m; p =0,003). T2DM pts were classified into 3 groups of MC based on glycated hemoglobin (HbAc1) before treatment: good MC (HbAc1 <7%), n=26pts; moderate MC (HbAc1 between 7.1-8.5%), n=18pts and poor MC (HbAc1 >8.6%), n=10pts. Poor MC was significantly associated with shorter mOS (11m) as compared with moderate MC (20m) and good MC (28m; p=0.029). T2DM pts treated with insulin had shorter mOS (8m vs 20m; p=0.002) and mPFS (7m vs 12m; p=0.002) than non-insulin treated pts. However there were no differences based on whether pts were taking metformin or not. T2DM was not associated with higher risk of treatment toxicity (pneumonitis or esophagitis). In the multivariate analysis, baseline glycemia and T2DM were both independent prognostic factors for OS (HR 1.2; IC95%1.17-1.3 and HR 1.51; IC95% 1.02 -2.27, respectively).

      Conclusion:
      Our data suggest that T2DM and poor MC is associated with worse prognosis in pts with stage III NSCLC treated with cCT-RT. Optimal control of T2DM and prevention of hyperglicaemia might benefit those pts, and further studies are warranted.

      P2.02-010 - Prognosis Impact of Oligoprogression Following Definitive Chemo-Radiotherapy in Stage III Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 4456)

      Background:
      The influence of recurrence pattern on outcome in stage III NSCLC following definitive chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) has been scarcely addressed in the literature. Our aim was to analyze the relevance of oligoprogression (OP) in this clinical setting.

      Methods:
      Patients (pts) with stage III NSCLC who underwent concurrent CRT from 2010 to 2014 at the Catalan Institute of Oncology were retrospectively reviewed (n=170). Recurrence pattern at first progression was recorded. OP was defined as a single metastatic organ with up to 3 lesions. Overall Survival (OS) and Progression-Free Survival (PFS) were plotted using Kaplan Meier method, and multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was developed.

      Results:
      Median age 64 (37-87); male 87%; ECOG-PS≤1 92%; histology: adenocarcinoma 34%, squamous 43%, NOS+large cell 23%; cN0-1 21%, cN2 60%, cN3 19%. Platinum doublet: cisplatin 62%, carboplatin 38%. RT between 60-70 Gy (2Gy/fr): 94%. At a median follow-up of 38 months (m), 108 of 170 pts relapsed (63%) and 66% died. mPFS was 13m (95% CI 10-16), mOS was 28m (95% CI 22-34). Twenty-five of pts who relapsed (23%) developed OP. Sites involved: visceral 17, brain 4, lymph nodes 3, bone 1. Treatments delivered: local therapy with curative intent 9; palliative intention 12; no treatment 4 (table 1). Among pts who relapsed, mOS was longer in those with OP (32m) compared to pts without OP (18m, p=0.007). Pts with OP who received treatment, mOS according to curative or palliative intention was 53m versus 32m (p=0.1), respectively. In the multivariate Cox analysis of post-progression OS, OP remained a favourable prognostic factor (HR=0.36, 95% CI 0.17-0.74) independently of age, PS, stage, histology, smoking history, and platinum doublet.

      Conclusion:
      OP was associated with substantial better prognosis in this cohort of pts treated with concurrent CRT. Local ablative therapies in the context of OP yielded promising results in terms of survival and warrants further investigation.
