P2.17-17 - Multimodal Treatment in Pathologically Confirmed Single-Station Resectable IIIA-N2 Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Single Center Experience (ID 13747)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): L. López
- Abstract
Background
The management of patients with resectable stage IIIA-N2 (7th Edition) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is controversial. Multimodal treatment with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (CT) and radiotherapy (RT) followed by surgery may be recommended for a selected group of patients.

We have retrospectively analyzed 21 patients with single-station resectable stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC treated in our center from April 2011 to June 2017. N2 was confirmed by EBUS or mediastinoscopy. Patients received CT with cisplatin (70 mg/m2)/carboplatin (5AUC) + vinorelbine (25 mg/m2 C1, 15 mg/m2 C2-3) concurrent RT with the 2nd cycle of CT with a total dose of 60Gy. PET-CT and mediastinoscopy was performed after induction treatment, and only those patients with mediastinal downstaging disease were proposed for surgery (lobectomy + systematic lymph node dissection). Kaplan-meier analysis was used to evaluate local control (LC), Overall survival (OS), Cause-specific-survival (CSS) and Disease-free-survival (DFS).

13 patients were males (62%) and 8 females (38%), median age was 63 (52-75). Histology was: 10(48%) adenocarcinoma, 6(28%) squamous and 5 (24%) NOS NSCLC. Surgery was not performed in 5 patients (24%): 1 presented progressive disease, 2 had persistent mediastinum disease and 2 were excluded due to comorbidities. No severe postoperative complications were observed in patients who underwent surgery. Table 1 shows the results.
With a median follow up of 49 (10-84) months, significant differences in terms of OS (p=0,002) and in CSS (p=0,006) were observed between patients with/without surgery, with no difference in LC and DFS. In patients who underwent surgery, there was a trend to a better LC, OS, CSS, DFS when complete pathological response was achieved.

In patients with pathologically confirmed single-station resectable stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC multimodal treatment with high dose
radiotherapy is feasible and with a trend to better outcome in patients with complete pathological response.

P3.04-13 - PD-L1-Gene Expression by nCounter Correlates with PD-L1 Protein Expression in Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) (ID 13944)
12:00 - 13:30 | Author(s): L. López
- Abstract
Background
PD-L1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining is a Food and Drug Administration-approved marker to identify patients for immunotherapy treatment in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, several antibodies and cut-off criteria have been used and pathological evaluation involves a certain degree of subjectivity. Multiplexed technologies can be of help in this setting and provide an objective measurement of PD-L1 levels.
a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Method
A 7-gene ‘immune signature’ comprising CD4, CD8, PD-1, PD-L1, IFNG, GZMM and FOXP3 was incorporated into our routine clinical practice as part of a customized nCounter panel (NanoString Technologies), which simultaneously screens for gene fusions (ALK, ROS1, RET and NTRK1), MET overexpression and MET exon 14-skipping mutations. Formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) samples from advanced NSCLC patients were analyzed with the panel and compared with PD-L1 IHC evaluation on tumor cells, using 22C3 clone antibody.
4c3880bb027f159e801041b1021e88e8 Result
Since 2017, a total of 296 FFPE samples have been analyzed with the nCounter panel. PDL-1 IHC has been performed in 113 FFPE samples, as requested by the oncologist. All samples were evaluable for nCounter and IHC (100%). By IHC, 48/113samples (42.5%) were scored as negative for PD-L1 protein expression, whereas 65/113 (57.5%) were evaluated as positive. Of those, 39 presented moderate (≥1-49%) and 26 (23%) high PD-L1 staining (≥50%). Using an appropriate cut-off value, the levels of PD-L1 mRNA, as determined by the nCounter panel, closely correlated the PD-L1 IHC evaluation, with a 78% of concordance and a 0.554 Cohen’s kappa (confidence interval 95% 0.400- 0.709).
8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion
PD-L1 mRNA expression closely correlates with PD-L1 protein expression. Clinical validation is warranted to determine if nCounter can be an alternative to IHC for PD-L1 evaluation.
