      Background

      Large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) and small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) are categorized as high-grade neuroendocrine tumors (HGNECs). There have been few studies to show the efficacy of perioperative chemotherapy for HGNEC as a single entity.

      We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent tumor resection and were diagnosed with HGNECat Hyogo Cancer Center (Akashi, Japan) and Kobe University Hospital (Kobe, Japan)between January 2001 and December 2016. Overall survival (OS) was estimated by the Kaplan–Meier method. Multivariate analyses using a Cox proportional hazards model were performed to search for prognostic factors for HGNEC. Propensity score matching was performed to compare the OS between the treatment groups.

      We identified 197 patients who underwent surgery and who were diagnosed with HGNEC. Forty-three patients were excluded for the following reasons: pathological stage 4 or incomplete resection (n=25), synchronous multiple cancers (n=14), and insufficient medical records (n=5) We finally analyzed 153 HGNEC patients (LCNEC n=95, SCLC n=58). Seventy patients (LCNEC n=34, SCLC n=36) received perioperative chemotherapy. All of them received a platinum-based anticancer drug, and 80% received combined treatment with irinotecan or etoposide (n=56). The 5-year OS rates of the surgery plus chemotherapy and surgery alone groups were 75.5% and 34.7% (P<0.01), respectively. The HR for death in the surgery plus chemotherapy group was 0.34 (95% CI 0.20-0.56; P<0.01) in comparison to the surgery alone group. The multivariate analysis revealed that perioperative chemotherapy (HR 0.30, P<0.01), sublobar resection (HR 2.04, P=0.04), and lymph node metastasis (HR 3.54, P<0.01) were independently associated with survival. After adjustment for the patients’ background characteristics by propensity matching, the 5-year OS rates of the surgery plus chemotherapy group were significantly higher than those of the surgery alone group (78.7% and 32.9%; P < 0.01). The HR for death in the surgery plus chemotherapy group was 0.33 (95% CI 0.15-0.68; p<0.01) in comparison to the surgery alone group.

      Surgical resection combined with perioperative chemotherapy was considered to be effective for HGNEC. Sublobar resection might increase the risk of death in HGNEC patients. Therefore if the general condition of the patient permits, perioperative chemotherapy should be performed, and the extent of resection in the treatment of HGNEC should be lobectomy or more.
