      Background:
      The prognostic impact of the presence of tumor spread through air spaces (STAS) has been reported in lung adenocarcinoma (ADC). The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic impact of the distribution, distance from the primary tumor, and quantification of STAS.

      Method:
      A cohort of 394 patients with pathologic stage I lung ADC (2012-2014) were investigated. The distribution of STAS around the tumor was classified into focal or circumferential. The distance of STAS was evaluated by counting the number of air spaces between the farthest STAS and the tumor edge. STAS was quantified by counting the number of STAS areas in the three most STAS- dense 20x high power fields (HPFs). The recurrence free probability (RFP) was analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method with a log-rank test.

      Result:
      STAS was present in 211 (54%) cases. The presence of STAS was associated with a higher risk of recurrence (5-y RFP in STAS-positive vs. STAS-negative; 78% vs 90%, p<0.001, Fig 1A). Circumferential STAS was associated with a higher risk of recurrence than focal STAS (5-y RFP in circumferential vs. focal; 67% vs 87%, p=0.027, Fig 1B). A longer distance of STAS was associated with a higher risk of recurrence (5-y RFP >7 alveoli vs.≤7 alveoli, 69% vs. 91%, p=0.003, Fig 1C). Quantification of STAS was not prognostic (5-y RFP in >3/HPFs vs. ≤3/HPFs, 75% vs. 88 %, p=0.15). Figure 1 X



      Conclusion:
      Beyond just the presence of STAS, the distribution and distance of STAS can further stratify the risk of recurrence in stage I lung ADC.

      P1.13-003 - Recurrence Dynamics in Resected Pathological Stage I Lung Adenocarcinoma Depend on the IASLC/ATS/ERS Histological Subtype (ID 9423)

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background:
      Current practice guidelines recommend uniform follow-up protocol for all stage I lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) patients who underwent surgical resection. We hypothesized that the annual recurrence hazard of resected pathological stage I lung ADC patients vary according to the IASLC/ATS/ERS histological subtype.

      Method:
      Pathological stage I lung ADC patients who had undergone complete resection (R0) without induction therapy (N=1572, 1995-2012) were analyzed.

      Result:
      Among 1572 patients, 271 (18.5%) recurrences were identified (median follow-up 64.0 months) with highest peak of recurrence within first two years following resection. Patients who had undergone sublobar resection showed higher recurrence rate than those who had undergone lobectomy (Fig. 1A). The recurrence hazard increased as a function of the percentage of micropapillary (MIP) pattern (Fig. 1B), while the solid pattern contributed to the early recurrence (Fig. 1C). According to the presence of MIP and/or solid (SOL) pattern, the recurrence hazard is well stratified. Tumors without micropapillary and solid subtype show no peak with 2% of annual recurrence hazard within 10 years following resection, while tumors with both MIP and SOL patterns have the highest peak within 2 years compared to other MIP and SOL combinations.

      Conclusion:
      Patients with resected pathological stage I lung ADC show structured recurrence dynamics well stratified with the high risk histological subtypes, providing clinically useful prognostic information for patients and physicians. Figure 1

      P3.13-019 - Preoperative Needle Biopsy Does Not Increase the Risk of Pleural Recurrence in ≤3cm Lung Adenocarcinoma (ID 9526)

      09:30 - 16:00  |  Author(s): Z. Tano

      • Abstract

      Background:
      Percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy (NB) has been widely used for the preoperative diagnosis of lung nodules. It has been proposed that the risk of pleural recurrence is high following lung resection in patients who underwent preoperative NB for sub-pleural nodules (Kashiwabara, et al. Cancer Invest 2016; Wang, et al. Sci Rep 2017). The aim of this study is to investigate the prognostic impact of preoperative NB for pleural recurrence in patients with early-stage lung adenocarcinoma (ADC).

      Method:
      Patients who underwent lung resection for pathologic stage I (≤3cm) lung ADC were included in the analysis (1995-2014, n=992; NB group 626 patients and no-NB group 366 patients). We compared the clinicopathologic characteristics and recurrence free probability (RFP, separately analyzed for any, locoregional, pleural, and distant recurrence) between NB and no-NB groups. The risk of pleural recurrence was evaluated in tumors both with and without visceral pleural invasion (VPI).

      Result:
      The NB cohort was associated with older age and larger tumor size compared to the no-NB cohort (p<0.05). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of VPI (VPI in NB, 12% vs. VPI in non-NB, 15%, p=0.2). In RFP analysis by Kaplan-Meier method with log-rank test, there was no statistical difference between NB and no-NB groups (NB vs. non-NB: 5-year RFP for any recurrence, 86% vs. 86%, p=0.8; locoregional recurrence, 93% vs. 94%, p=0.7; pleural recurrence, 98% vs. 96%, p=0.14; and distant recurrence 94% vs. 93%, p=1). In tumors both with and without VPI (n=128 and n=864, respectively), the risk of pleural recurrence was not higher after NB (Figure; 5-year RFP for pleural recurrence [NB vs. no-NB]: VPI positive, 93% vs. 83%, p=0.3; VPI negative, 98% vs. 97%, p=0.4). Figure 1



      Conclusion:
      Preoperative needle biopsy was not associated with an increased risk of pleural recurrence following lung resection.
