      MA01.01 - Proposal on Incorporating Lymphovascular Invasion as a T-Descriptor for Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 12754)

      Background

      Lymphovascular invasion (LVI) and Visceral Pleural Invasion(VPI) have been reported to be risk factors for stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC). However, only VPI was incorporated into the current 8th Tumor–Node–Metastasis(TNM) classification. This study aimed at exploring the prognostic impact of LVI on TNM staging in Pathological Stage I NSCLC.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      We retrospectively reviewed 2600 consecutive p-stage I NSCLC patients in the Shanghai Chest Hospital (2008-2012). By using the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regression model, we identified the correlations between LVI, VPI and clinical outcomes in p-stage I NSCLC.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      Of all p-stage I NSCLC 2600 patients, 221 were pathologically diagnosed with LVI and 815 pathologically with VPI, respectively. It was observed that patients with LVI had an unfavorable lung cancer specific survival (LCSS) (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.883; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.351-2.625; P < 0.001) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) (HR: 2.025; 95% CI: 1.560-2.630; P < 0.001). The 5-year RFS rates of patients with LVI was significantly worse than those without LVI (61.2% VS 82.7%, P< 0.001). Patients with LVI exhibit similar prognosis (HR: 2.538; 95% CI: 1.570-4.098; P < 0.001) compared with that of VPI in pN0 non-small-cell lung cancer and a tumor diameter of 3cm or smaller. When tumor size was between 3-4cm, patients with LVI and VPI were associated with inferior prognosis than those with only LVI or VPI (P < 0.001).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      The presence of LVI independently and significantly affects LCSS and RFS in patients with stage I NSCLC. Our results suggest that stage T1a-1c(IA) patients with LVI should be upstaged to T2a(IB), meanwhile, stage T2a(IB) patients coexist with LVI and VPI should be upstaged again in the TNM classification.

      P1.01-29 - Crizotinib in Advanced Lung Adenocarcinoma Patients with ALK or ROS-1 Rearrangement: Is it the Same? (ID 12929)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Rong Qiao

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background

      Crizotinib is an orally taken tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) targeting both ALK and ROS1 rearrangement, which have defined two different molecular subgroup patients. The aim of the study was to compare the therapeutic efficacy of crizotinib in advanced lung adenocarcinoma patients diagnosed with ALK or ROS1 mutation.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      Patients diagnosed with ALK (Group A) or ROS1 (Group B) mutation were identified from our standardized registration system. The effectiveness of crizotinib in eligible patients was retrospectively analyzed.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      A total of 5348 and 4695 patients were screened and 393 (7.3%, 95% CI, 6.6%-8.0%) and 105 (2.2%, 95% CI, 1.8%-2.7%) positive patients were identified among the two groups, respectively. There were 141 and 32 eligible patients were included for survival analysis. The ORR is 53.0% (95% CI, 43.0%-63.0%) in group A, without statistical significance compared with group B (71%, 95% CI, 51.2%-90.4%, P=0.11). Similar result was also observed in terms of DCR (86%, [95% CI, 79.1%-92.9%] vs. 92.0%, [95%, CI, 80.0%-100.0%], P=0.74). The median PFS in group A was 12.4 months (95% CI, 10.2 -14.7 months), which was statistically worse than patients in group B (18.2 months, 95% CI, 6.3 -29.0 months, P=0.02). The OS was too immature to analyze.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Patients harboring ROS1 rearrangement derived better prognosis compared with these who had ALK rearrangement when treated with crizotinib.

      P1.01-30 - Crizotinib in Advanced Non-Adenocarcinoma, NSCLC (NA-NSCLC) Patients with ALK Rearrangement: A Retrospective Study and Literature Review (ID 12942)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Rong Qiao

      • Abstract
      • Slides

      Background

      The aim of the study was to investigate the prevalence of anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) rearrangement in non-adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer (NA-NSCLC) patients and therapeutic efficacy of crizotinib in these patients.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      From January 2013 to January 2017, NA-NSCLC patients who were diagnosed with ALK rearrangement were screened. The effectiveness of crizotinib in positive patients was retrospectively analyzed. A literature review was performed and eligible cases were analyzed combined with our data.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      A total of 1212 NA-NSCLC patients were screened during the period with 25 positive patients identified (2.1%, 95% CI, 1.3%-2.9%). A statistically higher percentage of female patients (40.0% vs. 10.4%, P< 0.01), non-smoker (72.0% vs.43.2%, P< 0.01), containing adenocarcinoma component (36.0% vs. 7.1%, P< 0.01) and advanced stage (68.0% vs. 45.6%, P=0.03) were observed in ALK positive group. The median PFS of the 9 eligible patients in our institution was 7.0 months (95% CI, 0-15.6 months). We combined our data with the sporadic cases from 10 previous case reports (total n=19) and found that the median PFS was 7.0 months (95% CI, 5.6-8.4 months).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Our study suggested the opportunity to test ALK rearrangement in NA-NSCLC patients, especially in female, non-smoker and patients containing adenocarcinoma component. Crizotinib provides an option for the treatment of NA-NSCLC patients who diagnosed with ALK rearrangement.

      P2.12-17 - Prophylactic Cranial Irradiation Can Not Provide Survival Benefits for Resected Small Cell Lung Cancer Without Lymph Node Involvement (ID 13996)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Rong Qiao

      • Abstract

      Background

      Currently, prophylactic cranial irradiation (PCI) was recommended for all patients after resection small-cell lung cancers, even those without lymph node metastasis. However, there is no directly evidence supporting this recommendation. The purpose of the present study is to assess the role of PCI for this subset of patients.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      We retrospectively identified completely resected SCLC without lymph node involvement (N0M0) at the Shanghai Chest Hospital between January 2006 and May 2017.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      A total of 146 patients (44 patients received PCI, 102 patients did not) were identified in the study. During the observation period, 8.8 % (9/102) patients in the non-PCI-treated cohort and 11.4 % (5/44) patients in the PCI-treated cohort developed brain metastases. There was no significant difference in the risk of cerebral recurrence between the two cohorts with regard to the time to recurrence (P = 0.677). What is more, neither overall survival benefit (HR = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.47–1.65, P = 0.700) nor disease-free survival (HR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.55–1.62, P = 0.835) was significant between the PCI-treated and non-PCI-treated cohorts.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      The present study did not support using PCI in surgically resected small cell lung cancer without lymph node involvement. A relatively lower risk of brain metastasis in this particular subset might explain the inferior efficacy of PCI.
