      Background

      Various types of immunothrapies have been extensively developed in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although median survival times have been getting very long in a certain population, complete remission (CR) is still uncommon. This study aimed to elucidate features of CR cases with advanced NSCLC.

      From our hospital database, 1,699 patients, registered as having lung cancer between August 2004 and April 2011, were examined. Those with stage III or IV histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC, whose treatment included chemotherapy, were retrospectively evaluated on Feb 13, 2017. CR, for the purposes of this study, was defined as a sustained CR at the five-year follow-up without treatment for one year, and features of CR patients were compared with those of long-surviving patients whose overall survival time (OS) exceeded 3 years.

      There were 279 stage IV and 164 stage III patients. OS of 51 (18.3%) and 37 (22.6%) patients with stage IV and III were over 3 years, respectively. Five and 12 patients with stage IV and III, respectively, showed CR. The tale effects were observed in Stage III and IV advanced NSCLC mainly by chemotherapies without immunocheckpoint inhibitors. In stage IV, primary tumor diameters in the CR patients were shorter than those in the 3 OS < 5 patients, and metastatic numbers in the CR patients were fewer than those in the 3 OS < 5 patients. In stage III, there were no differences in primary tumor diameters and metastatic numbers among the 3 OS < 5, the 5 ≤ OS with existence of tumor, and the CR (5 ≤ OS without tumor) groups.

      This study demonstrated that CR might be possible in certain patients with small primary tumors and fewer metastases even in advanced NSCLC by employing combinations of various treatment modalities.
