    Background
    

    Pulmonary large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) is a rare and aggressive subset of non-small-cell lung cancer with poor prognosis. Due to its rarity, the optimal therapy strategy for pulmonary LCNEC remains undefined. We aimed to evaluate the role of surgery for stage I-III LCNEC using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database.

    Patients with stage I-III LCNEC were extracted from the SEER database (2004-2014). Propensity-score matching was performed to reduce the effect of potential confounders. Kaplan-Meier curves were constructed for overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) for patient strata based on surgery use or nonuse. Multivariable Cox-regression was used to explore the efficacy of different treatment strategies.

    A total of 944 LCNEC patients were identified, of which 674 (71.4%) received surgery. Both OS and CSS of surgery use group were superior to surgery nonuse group in the whole cohort (HR=0.48, P<0.001 and HR=0.41, P<0.001, respectively). Among matched cohort, significantly greater benefits in OS and CSS (Figure 1) from surgery was observed in both stage I-II (HR=0.47, P=0.001 and HR=0.43 P<0.001, respectively) and stage III (HR=0.66, P=0.039 and HR=0.63, P=0.031, respectively). On multivariable analysis of surgical group, there was no significant difference in either OS or CSS between surgery alone and the addition of chemotherapy or (and) radiation for stage I-II patients, whereas favorable survival outcomes of surgery plus chemotherapy (OS: HR=0.26, P<0.001; CSS: HR=0.30, P=0.001) and surgery plus chemotherapy and radiation (OS: HR=0.33, P<0.001; CSS: HR=0.34, P=0.002) were significantly evident for stage III patients.

    This is the largest study exploring the benefit of surgery for stage I-III pulmonary LCNEC. Regardless of stage, surgery showed remarkable survival benefits for LCNEC patients. It is suggested that surgery alone may be sufficient for stage I-II, whereas the multimodal combination of surgery and other therapies should be considered for stage III disease.
