      P1.17-15 - Perioperative Prognostic Nutrition Index for Induction Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Surgery in Locally Advanced Non-Small Lung Cancers (ID 13055)

      • Abstract

      Background

      The perioperative nutritional and immunological statuses significantly associated the clinical outcome of the surgery, especially for the extended surgery. Induction chemoradiotherapy (iCRT) followed by surgery is one of treatment options for locally advanced (LA) non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) although there is a risk for increasing postoperative complications. A prognostic nutritional index (PNI), calculated using serum albumin levels and peripheral lymphocyte count, has been used to predict the clinical outcome of various cancers including early stage NSCLCs but not LA-NSCLC after iCRT. In this study, we investigated the impact of PNI on clinical outcome of iCRT followed by surgery in the patients with LA-NSCLCs.

      During 1999 to 2016, 173 patients underwent iCRT followed by surgery in Okayama University Hospital. Among them, 128 patients who matched to inclusion criteria were studied. We retrospectively calculated the PNI at (1) pre-iCRT (median 5 days before administration), (2) pre-operation (Ope) (median 5 day before surgery), and (3) post-Ope (median 30 days after surgery) and reviewed the medical records.

      The median age was 62 years old (range 31 – 79) and 100 patients were male. Seventy patients were adenocarcinomas and 46 were squamous cell carcinomas. Clinical stages were IIA / IIB (n = 15), IIIA (n = 87), IIIB (n = 25), and IV (n = 1). Main regimen of iCRT was CDDP / DOC with concurrent radiotherapy (46 gray). Treatment responses were CR/PR (n = 99), SD (n = 27), and PD (n = 2). Lung resections were lobectomy (n = 109), bi-lobectomy (n = 14), and pneumonectomy (n = 5) and additional procedures were performed in 93 patients. Based on the invasiveness of surgery, we categorized into three groups: 1) highly invasive group (n = 60), 2) intermediate group (n = 33), and 3) standard group (n = 35). Pathological complete responses were present in 37 patients. The PNI were significantly decreased during treatment course [49 (24 – 71) in pre-ICRT, 44 (30 – 58) in pre-Ope, and 41 (22 – 58) in post-Ope]. Among the entire cohort, the perioperative PNI values showed some effect on overall survival. However, among the highly invasive group, the poor preoperative PNI values significantly correlated with worse overall survival.

      Peri-treatment nutritional evaluation using PNI is important to predict clinical outcome of the patients who received the iCRT followed by surgery with LA-NSCLCs especially when highly invasive surgery is required.

      P1.17-17 - The Impact of Induction Chemoradiotherapy Followed by Surgery for N1 Involved Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 12046)

      16:45 - 18:00  |  Author(s): Seiichiro Sugimoto

      • Abstract

      Background

      Induction chemoradiotherapy (iCRT) followed by surgery is usually selected for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with mediastinal lymph node (LN) metastasis or invasion to adjacent organs, whereas it is occasionally performed for clinical N1 (cN1) NSCLC patients harboring such as a centrally located primary tumor or a bulky LN to improve local control rate and secure a cancer-free surgical margin. However, the survival benefit of iCRT followed by surgery for NSCLC patients with N1 LN involvement remains controversial. Furthermore, the accuracy of the radiological examination for N1 metastasis is unsatisfactory. In this study, we investigated the clinical outcomes of surgery with or without iCRT based on the estimation of the pretreatment LN metastatic status from fibrotic or necrotic changes of resected LNs in the cN1 NSCLC patients.

      cN1 NSCLC patients who underwent complete resection with or without iCRT at our institution between January 1999 and December 2016 were subjected. We divided the enrolled patients into two groups as the primary surgery (PS) group and the iCRT followed by surgery (IC) group. As for IC group, we determined the pretreatment LN metastatic status based on the pathological features of resected LNs. We compared the clinical outcomes of pretreatment N1 involved patients with or without iCRT.

      Among 127 cN1 NSCLC patients, 40 patients were considered as pretreatment N1 involvement, consisting of 26 and 14 patients in the PS and IC groups, respectively. The central type tumor and the continuous type of LN, which frequently required the extended surgical procedures, were significantly more frequent in the IC group than in the PS group (P < 0.01). Although there was no significant difference in the recurrence pattern between the two groups, none of patients developed local recurrence in the IC group. Regarding the patients with a centrally located tumor or a bulky LN (> 2.0cm), the 5-year recurrence-free survival was significantly better in the IC group than in the PS group (74.1% vs, 36.4%; P =0.03).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Our study demonstrated that iCRT followed by surgery could suppress the disease recurrence in the N1-involved NSCLC patients especially for the patients harboring a centrally located tumor or bulky LNs at N1 level, suggesting that these patients may be good candidates for iCRT followed by surgery to avoid extended resections and to suppress the local recurrence.
