P1.16-57 - Outcomes of Pulmonary Resection in Elderly Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Patient (ID 11989)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Nirush Lertprasertsuke
- Abstract
Background
Because of increasing in life span and more than third-fourth of lung cancer patients being age > 60-65 years old, appropriate treatment of old lung cancer patients has become an important issue. The aim of this study is to evaluate the short and long-term surgical outcomes in elderly patients, and to identify prognostic factors of overall mortality.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Medical records of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent pulmonary resection at Chiang Mai University Hospital from January 2002 through December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups; age less than 70 years (non-elderly group) and 70 years or more (elderly group). Primary outcome was major post-operative complications and in-hospital death; secondary outcome was long-term survival. Logistic regression and cox proportional hazard model were used to analyze data.

This study included 583 patients; 167 in elderly group, and 416 in non-elderly group. Patients in elderly group were more likely to have government insurance, be active smoker, and have a diagnosis of COPD, an abnormal ECG, to undergo a sublobar resection, lymph node sampling, and no chemotherapy treatment than those in the non-elderly group. There were no differences in term of in-hospital mortality, composite post-operative complications, and overall mortality. At multivariable analysis, the composite post-operative complications in the elderly group was not statistically different from the non-elderly group (Adjusted odd ratios = 0.52, 95% CI=0.21-1.28), however the elderly group was more likely to die (HRadj)=2.44, 95%CI=1.26-4.74). Adverse prognostic factors for overall mortality in elderly patients were a poorly differentiated tumor (HRadj=3.53, 95%CI=1.45-8.61) and the presence with perineural invasion (HRadj=3.95, 95%CI=1.14-13.77)

Surgery in elderly NSCLC is a safe procedure. Patients presenting with perineural invasion and poorly differentiated tumor should be further considered for possible adjuvant treatment.

P2.15-28 - Effect of Insurance Types on Tumor Recurrence and Overall Survival in Resectable Non-Small Lung Cancer Patients in Northern Thailand (ID 12375)
16:45 - 18:00 | Presenting Author(s): Nirush Lertprasertsuke
- Abstract
Background
The effect of insurance types on tumor recurrence and overall survival in resectable non-small cell lung cancer in northern Thailand have never been reported. The aim of this study is to identify the association between Thailand’s insurance types and long-term outcomes of treatment.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Medical records of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent pulmonary resection at Chiang Mai University Hospital from January 2002 through December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were divided into two groups; patients with National Health Security insurance (NHSI) and patients with Government/State Enterprise insurance or private insurance (GEI). Patient characteristics, pathologic findings and long-term outcomes were assessed. Primary outcome was overall survival; secondary outcome was tumor recurrence. Multivariable cox’s regression analysis were used to analyze data.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
This study included 583 patients; 344 with NHSI and 239 with GEI. Patients with NHSI were more likely to be active smokers, lower % predicted FEV1, present with higher stage tumor, having moderately and poorly differentiated tumor, present with tumor necrosis, and undergo open surgical approach than those with GEI. There were no differences between the two groups in term of lymph node dissection, chemotherapy and post-operative complications. At multivariable analysis, tumor recurrence in patients with GEI was not statistically different from what observed in patients with NHSI (adjusted hazard ratio (HRadj)=1.03, 95% CI=0.51-2.11), however patients with NHSI was more likely to die (HRadj=2.45, 95%CI=1.11-5.42).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Thai NSCLC patients with NHSI coverage were more likely to experience shorter overall survival than those with GEI. The difference in medical coverage in each type of insurance, especially in term of regimens of chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy may be associated with overall survival of patients. The Thai government should take into account this difference.
