P1.17-11 - Pattern and Survival Impact of Neoadjuvant Treatment of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) in a Prospective Lung Resection Cohort (ID 14169)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Yu-Sheng Lee
- Abstract
Background
Neoadjuvant therapy may benefit locally-advanced NSCLC patients. We evaluated patterns of neoadjuvant therapy and the impact on stage-shift and survival.
All curative-intent NSCLC resections were collected from 12 hospitals in 4 contiguous Dartmouth Hospital Referral Regions in mid-Southern USA from 2009-2018. Comparisons made using Chi-square tests and non-parametric t-tests, survival impact assessed using Cox-proportional hazard models.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
182 of 3,297 resections (5.5%) had neoadjuvant therapy: 118 (64.8%) chemoradiation, 47 (25.8%) chemotherapy, and 17 (9.3%) radiation. Neoadjuvantly treated patients were younger, more likely to be commercially insured, have immediate preoperative brain MRI, and invasive mediastinal staging than those with primary resection (p<0.001 for all, Table 1). They also had more advanced stage, but 27% were clinical stage IA/IB.
Despite evidence of more difficult surgery, perioperative complications, hospital length of stay and postoperative mortality rates were similar to the primary resection cohort. Despite delay to surgery, they had significantly greater down-staging (p<0.001). However, down-staging had no impact on survival, regardless of type of neoadjuvant therapy (Table 2).

Neoadjuvant therapy was safe, but had no survival impact in this cohort, despite increased down-staging, possibly because of an inexplicably high proportion of stage I patients.

P2.16-32 - Survival Implications and Factors Associated with the Anatomic Level of Incomplete Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Resection (ID 13589)
16:45 - 18:00 | Presenting Author(s): Yu-Sheng Lee
- Abstract
Background
Incomplete resection impairs NSCLC survival, but the relative significance of specific anatomic levels of margin involvement is uncertain. We examined the survival implications of the anatomic level of margin positivity.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
We analyzed curative-intent primary NSCLC resections from 11 hospitals in 4 contiguous Dartmouth Hospital Referral Regions in West Tennessee, East Arkansas, and North Mississippi from 2009-2018. Overall survival (OS) was evaluated with Kaplan-Meier estimates and hazard ratios (HR) from Cox models.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Of 3097 resections, 137 (4.4%) had positive margins. The anatomic sites of margin positivity were: mainstem bronchus 28%; peribronchial margin 24%; chest wall margin 21%; lung tissue margin 12%; great vessels 1%; mediastinum 2%; bronchial carcinoma in-situ 1%; not reported 11%.
Compared to patients with negative margins, positive margins were more likely in patients who were male (66% v 51%, p=0.0003), had poorly/undifferentiated tumor grade (45% v 34%, p=0.0143), squamous NSCLC (46% v 33%, p=0.0111), or multi-lobar tumors (15% v 5%, p<.0001). Higher pT (p<.0001) and pN (p<.0001), larger tumor size (4.2cm v 3.0cm, p<.0001), a pneumonectomy (16% v 6%, p<.0001), and an open thoracotomy (77% v 60%, p=0.0004) were also associated with margin positive resections.
5-year OS varied by the anatomic site of the margin: mainstem bronchus 35%; peribronchial margin 44%; chest wall margin 22%; lung tissue margin 23%. On unadjusted regression, positive margins at mainstem bronchial (HR=1.98, p=0.0041), chest wall (HR=2.82, p<.0001), or lung tissue (HR=2.92, p=0.0007) had a negative prognostic impact. Positive margins at chest wall (aHR=1.66, 0.0310) and lung tissue margins (aHR=2.24, p=0.0137) had the most significant prognostic impact after controlling for age, sex, race, histology, primary site, tumor grade, cT, cN, and adjuvant chemo/radiation (Table).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
Incomplete NSCLC resection at the chest wall or the lung tissue margins connotes worse survival than other anatomic sites of margin involvement.

P2.16-38 - Characteristics of Preoperative N Staging in Patients with Optimal Pathologic N Staging of Non Small Cell Lung Cancer(NSCLC) (ID 14345)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Yu-Sheng Lee
- Abstract
Background
Despite its prognostic value, the thoroughness of clinical and pathologic nodal staging varies significantly. We compared anatomic preoperative nodal sampling details to anatomic surgical lymphadenectomy details in resections meeting National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) quality criteria.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
Patients had curative-intent NSCLC resections between 2009-2018 in 12 hospitals in 4 contiguous Dartmouth Hospital Referral Regions in the mid-Southern USA. Univariate statistics were calculated to summarize characteristics.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
1,346 of 3,297 resections (40.8%), met all 4 NCCN criteria (anatomic resection, negative margins, examination of >0 N1 nodes and ≥3 mediastinal stations). Of these 1,346, 1,114 (83%) received PET/CT scans and 148 (11%) received invasive nodal staging (all had EBUS/EUS/TBNA; 10 [16%] also had mediastinoscopy). Among 148 invasively staged patients, 72% were histologically node-negative, 19% were node-positive; 34 (23%) were down-staged and 20 (13.5%) were up-staged after surgery. Stations 4 (70.3%), 7 (73.6%), and 10 (33.8) were most frequently sampled preoperatively, 4, 7 and 9 intraoperatively (Table 2). Except for station 7, there was little overlap in anatomic station examination between invasive clinical and pathologic nodal staging.
