      Background

      Vascular invasion, including blood vessel invasion (v) and lymphatic vessel invasion (ly), is not a prognostic factor according to the 8th Edition of the Tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) Classification, and the prognostic impact of vascular invasion remains unclear. We reported the prognostic significance of vascular invasion classified according to the previous 7th Edition in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (Diagn Pathol. 2015;10:17). The aim of the present study was to clarify whether vascular invasion classified in the 8th Edition has a prognostic impact on patients with pathological stage IA lung adenocarcinoma and should thus be adopted as an upstaging factor.

      We reviewed 314 patients with pathological IA (T1a-1bN0 according to the UICC-TNM Classification of Malignant Tumours, 7th Edition) lung adenocarcinoma completely resected between 2000 and 2005. We excluded patients with mucinous adenocarcinoma. The pathological invasive size was measured on the maximal cut surface of the primary tumor, stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and elastica van Gieson (EVG), in all cases. We evaluated blood vessel invasion using specimens stained with HE and EVG, and lymphatic vessel invasion using specimens stained with HE and anti-podoplanin antibody. Blood vessel invasion and lymphatic vessel invasion together represented tumor vessel invasion (TVI). Survival curves were plotted using the Kaplan–Meier method, and the statistical significance of differences between the groups was determined by the log-rank test.

      The patients were stratified according to the 8th edition into Tis (N = 46), T1mi (N = 69), T1a (N = 82), T1b (N = 99), T1c (N = 18). The median follow-up period was 98.0 months. The recurrence-free survival rate at 5 years was 100%, 100%, 88.9%, 94.7%, 80.3%, 66.7%, and 66.7% in stage 0, IA1(TVI-), IA1(TVI+), IA2(TVI-), IA2(TVI+), IA3(TVI-), and IA3(TVI+), respectively. The lung cancer-specific survival rate at 5 years was 100%, 100%, 88.9%, 98.2%, 87.4%, 66.7%, and 66.7% in stage 0, IA1(TVI-), IA1(TVI+), IA2(TVI-), IA2(TVI+), IA3(TVI-) and IA3(TVI+), respectively. The presence of TVI was a poor prognostic factor in stage IA1 and IA2, but not in stage IA3.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      TVI is a prognostic factor in patients with lung adenocarcinoma measuring 20 mm or less in the pathological invasive size. Stage IA1 lung adenocarcinoma without TVI can possibly be classified as minimally invasive, because patients with stage IA1 lung adenocarcinoma have 100% recurrence-free survival and lung cancer-specific survival.

      P3.16-11 - Pattern of Recurrence of Completely Resected Lung Adenocarcinoma Varies According to EGFR Mutation Status (ID 12326)

      Background

      The prognostic significance of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations in resectable lung adenocarcinoma is not well defined. We evaluated the influence of EGFR mutation status on postoperative recurrence timing with the use of event dynamics.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method

      A total of 644 patients with lung adenocarcinoma who underwent complete resection and examined for EGFR mutation status between 2008 and 2015 were studied. Disease-free survival (DFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method and compared between EGFR mutation-positive patients (n=322) and EGFR wild-type patients (n=322). Event dynamics, based on the hazard rate, were evaluated and only first events (distant metastases or local recurrence) were considered.

      4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result

      There was no statistical significance in recurrence rate (9.9% versus 14.6%; p=0.09) between EGFR mutation-positive patients and EGFR wild-type patients. In patients with pathological stage I, DFS was significantly better in the EGFR mutant group than the wild-type group (p=0.009), whereas the EGFR mutant group had an inferior DFS compared with the wild-type group among patients with pathological stage II or higher (p=0.110). The resulting hazard rate curves indicated that the recurrence risk pattern was definitely correlated with EGFR mutation status, with an early highest peak during the first year for EGFR wild-type patients and a late maximum peak in the fifth year for EGFR mutation-positive patients.

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      The prognostic value of EGFR mutations appears to be different according to pathological stage in completely resected adenocarcinoma. The hazard and the peak times of recurrence differ considerably between EGFR-mutant and wild-type patients.
