MA01.02 - Histologic Subtyping in Pathologic Stage I Lung Adenocarcinoma Provides Risk-Based Stratification for Surveillance (ID 13400)
10:35 - 10:40 | Presenting Author(s): Yusuke Takahashi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Current national practice guidelines (NCCN, ACCP, ESMO) recommend a uniform follow-up protocol with intensive surveillance within the first two years following lung resection for stage I NSCLC. We hypothesize that the recurrence hazard following lung resection for stage I lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) varies according to histologic subtype.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
A total of 1572 patients with resected pathologic stage I lung ADC were investigated. Two thoracic pathologists reviewed all tumor H&E slides (range 1-8, median 3) for histologic subtyping and percentage of each subtype. Recurrence hazard was estimated using the Kernel-Epanechnikov smoothing procedure. Association between recurrence hazard and high-grade histologic subtypes (micropapillary [MIP] and solid [SOL]) was assessed.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Presence (≥5%) of these high-grade subtypes (MIP and/or SOL) was associated with significant increase of recurrence hazard compared to high-grade pattern negative (<5%) tumors (Figure): 1) patients with presence of either MIP or SOL had significant recurrence hazard peaks within two years after surgery; 2) SOL was associated with early hazard peak at the first year after surgery especially in distant recurrence hazard; 4) one-third of patients (515/1572, 33%) had no high-grade subtypes, in which the recurrence hazard was consistently very low (<2% risk each year) during the 10-year period after surgery without any hazard peak (red arrow).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Our data suggest the utility of histologic subtyping for identifying patients with very low recurrence hazard, and provide foundation for establishing risk-based follow-up protocols. A potential option for low-risk patients may be omission of intensive follow-up during the first two years after surgery.

MA09.06 - The Newly Recognized Filigree Pattern of Micropapillary (MIP) Lung Adenocarcinoma (LADC) is as Clinically Important as the Classical Pattern (ID 11874)
15:50 - 15:55 | Author(s): Yusuke Takahashi
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Filigree pattern is a newly recognized addition to the morphological spectrum of the poor prognostic category of micropapillary (MIP) LADC. However, its morphologic features and clinical importance are not well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphologic spectrum and clinical significance of filigree MIP pattern.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Filigree pattern was defined as tumor cells growing in delicate lace-like narrow stacks of cells (at least 3 piled-up nuclei) without fibrovascular cores, with frequently visible attachments to alveolar walls. This differs from the 2015 WHO description of classical MIP pattern as tumor cells growing in papillary tufts forming florets that lack fibrovascular cores. In order to assess for filigree vs classical MIP, we documented the frequency and extent of both patterns in 1325 Stage I LADC. These were correlated with recurrence free probability (RFP) and lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) using Kaplan-Meier analysis.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
In addition to 87 MIP predominant ADC previously diagnosed, we identified 57 more cases of MIP predominant LADC due to the new criteria of MIP filigree pattern. Of these 57 cases, 37, 16, and 4 cases were reclassified from papillary, acinar, and solid predominant LADCs, respectively. Survival curves of previously diagnosed MIP and newly diagnosed MIP for RFP showed a similar worse prognosis compared to other LADC histologic subtypes (previously diagnosed MIP vs newly diagnosed MIP, 5-year RFP 66% vs 68% [Figure]) as well as LCSS (previously diagnosed MIP vs newly diagnosed MIP, 5-year LCSS 82% vs 85%). When the MIP cases were divided into filigree or classical predominant MIP, no significant prognostic differences were observed between the two groups.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
The lack of significant prognostic difference between filigree vs classical predominant MIP LADC supports our proposal that the filigree pattern is an important addition to the morphologic spectrum of the MIP subtype.
