MA20.02 - “Reduced” HUNT Lung Cancer Model for Predicting Lung Cancer in the Prospective Danish Lung Cancer Screening Study - Comparison with the NLST. (ID 12802)

Background
Risk prediction is important for selection of individuals for lung cancer screening programs. We have recently published a validated calculator, the HUNT Lung Cancer Risk Model (https://www.ebiomedicine.com/article/S2352-3964(18)30114-2/fulltext) for all ages and smoking patterns.
The Danish Lung Cancer Screening Trial (DLCST) was a randomized prospective study that included 4104 heavy smokers with a median age of 57.6, 33.8 pack-years and maximum 9 years quit time and 10 years follow-up. We tested the value of the HUNT model in this prospective Danish lung cancer study and compared with the NLST.

The DLCST study only had 5 of the 7 variables in the original HUNT Model, so we trained a “reduced” HUNT Model in the Norwegian HUNT2 cohort of 12 091 ever-smokers ages between 49-71 years (as the age span in the Danish cohort) based on age, pack-years, smoking intensity, quit time and BMI where sex was added for adjustment. The model was applied blindly in the 4051 individuals of the Danish cohort that had all 5 variables.

In the population selected by the "reduced" HUNT Model, 148/149 (99.33%) lung cancer cases were predicted (sensitivity 99.33%, negative predictive value 99.23%), thus only one individual that developed lung cancer was lost among those 52 not selected for screening. If the the NLST criteria were used (age 55-74, >30 pack-years and <15 years quit time), less than half of the Danish cohort (n=1870 (46.2%)) would have been considered eligible for screening, and 104/149 (69.80%) lung cancer cases would have been predicted. With these criteria, one would lose 45 (32.7%) lung cancer cases, and the sensitivity would be lower (69.80%).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
We were able to predict 99.33% of those that were diagnosed with lung cancer in 10 years, only one future lung cancer case was not included. Therefore, even the “reduced” HUNT model was highly sensitive in selecting persons at high risk for lung cancer in a screening cohort. The objection one could have for preferring the NLST criteria is that one screened about half of this population but at the same time lost 1/3 of the future lung cancers. In a health system that can afford to screen more people than those included by the NLST criteria, the HUNT model may be useful, preferably the validated HUNT Lung Cancer Model, for the selection of high risk individuals to a screening programme.

OA04.07 - Early Initiated Postoperative Rehabilitation Reduces Fatigue in Patients with Operable Lung Cancer: A Randomized Trial (ID 13733)
11:35 - 11:45 | Author(s): Jesper Holst Pedersen
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background
Surgical tolerability and perioperative risk of complications are correlated with high age, smoking history, comorbidities, low cardiorespiratory fitness (VO2peak) and low functional capacity, which paradoxically are characteristics describing the average patient with lung cancer. Little is known about the optimal amount and timing of exercise strain in concern of the operation wound and with regard improvement of physical function and quality of life (QOL). On this background, we decided to investigate the effect of early vs. late initiated postoperative rehabilitation in patients with operable lung cancer on exercise capacity, functional capacity, muscle strength, and QOL.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
The study was designed as a two-armed randomized controlled trial with randomization to either early initiated postoperative rehabilitation (14 days after surgery (ERG)) or a control arm with late initiated postoperative rehabilitation (14 weeks after surgery (LRG)). The primary endpoint was a change in maximum oxygen consumption (VO2peak) from baseline to post intervention 26 weeks following lung resection. Fatigue was measured with EORTC QLQ C30 LC13.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
From April 2013 to June 2016, 582 patients with operable NSCLC were screened for eligibility. With 119 patients randomized in the early rehabilitation group (ERG) (68 females, 51 males; median age 65), and 116 randomized to late rehabilitation group (LRG) (62 females, 54 males; median age 65) the recruitment rate was 52.6%. There was a non-significant decrease in VO2peak in both ERG and LRG from baseline to 26 weeks and no significant difference between ERG and LRG (p=0.9269). There was a significant decrease from baseline to 14 weeks in both ERG (p=0.027) and LRG (p<0.001) and a significant difference between groups (p=0.0018). There was a non-significant increase from 14 weeks to 26 weeks in ERG (p=0.464) and a significant increase from 14 weeks to 26 weeks in LRG (p<0.001) and a significant difference between the two groups (p=0.0003). We found no significant differences in QOL but we found a significant difference between ERG and LRG from baseline to 14 weeks in fatigue level in favour of ERG.
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
This is the first randomized controlled trial to investigate the effects of early vs. late initiated postoperative rehabilitation in patients with lung cancer. There is no difference in the commencement (early vs. late) of a postoperative exercise program for patients with lung cancer on exercise capacity. But to reduce fatigue patients should be recommended to initiate early exercise programs.
