      Background

      Patients with thyroid transcription factor 1 (TTF1) negative lung adenocarcinoma (ADC) have been reported to have a worse prognosis and to lack epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations. The aim of this study was to analyse the prognostic significance of TTFI status in a series of tumor samples from patients with clinically confirmed lung adenocarcinoma.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Methods

      A real-world data study of TTF1-negative ADC was performed in all lung cancer patients diagnosed in the University Hospital of Lleida from January 2011 to December 2016, using TTF1 clone 8G7G3/1(DAKO®). Each patient’s clinical history, pathology specimens and molecular results were noted. The control group consisted of 231 patients with TTF1 positive lung ADC .

      20c51b5f4e9aeb5334c90ff072e6f928 Results

      Three hundred and thirty four (334) patients with ADC were identified; TTF1 results were available in 258 (77,2%) cases. Of these, 27 (10,4%) patients were identified with TTF1-negative ADC (74% males). The median age of these patients was 66 years and their smoking history was as follows: 55,5% former smoker, 29,6% ex smokers and 14,8% never smokers. The clinical stages were as follows: stage I or II (n = 3 [11%]), stage III (n = 4 [14,8%]) and stage IV (n = 20 [74%]). Patients’ mean survival was 7,6 vs 24,4 months in ADC TTF1-negative patients versus TTF1-postive patients (P = 0,00001). When compared with the control group, TTF1-negative patients had shorter overall survival (P = 0,00001), regardless of whether patients were treated with radical or palliative intent: 34,4 vs 10, months P = 0,00001 (radical treatment) and 14,6 vs 6,7 months P = 0,007 (palliative intent). EGFR mutations were less frequent (P = 0,046) in TTF-negative tumors compared to the control group (5,5% vs 25,3%).

      Patients with TTF1-negative NSCLC ADC have worse overall survival, regardless of treatment intention, and a lower frequency of EGFR mutations.

      80P - High blood platelets levels (BPL): A prognostic factor in patients with early or locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (ID 543)

      12:30 - 13:00  |  Author(s): ALVARO Rodriguez

      • Abstract

      Background

      Patients with high blood platelets levels (BPL) have been reported to attenuate the efficacy of platinum-based chemotherapy and to have a worse prognosis when treated with surgery and postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy. This study describes a series of sample tumors from patients with clinically confirmed lung cancer.

      a9ded1e5ce5d75814730bb4caaf49419 Methods

      In all non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients diagnosed in the University Hospital of Lleida from January 2011 to December 2016, a real world data study of blood platelets levels (BPL) was performed. Each patient’s clinical history, pathology specimens and molecular results were noted. Four hundred and forty-five patients with low BPL formed the control group.

      20c51b5f4e9aeb5334c90ff072e6f928 Results

      The blood platelet levels (BPL) was analyzed in seven hundred and seventy-five (775) patients with an average of 290 mcL (24 - 995). In 330 patients (42%) a platelet level greater than 290 mcL was observed (22,1% females). The media age was 67 years. The smoking history was as follows: 57,2% former, 31,5% ex smokers and 11,2 never smokers. The clinical stages and histology were as follows: stage I and II: 17%, stage III: 30% and stage IV 53%; 43% of patients had adenocarcinoma histology, 36% squamous and 21% other. In patients treated with radical intention (surgery or chemotherapy plus radiotherapy) the median overall survival was 49 vs 36 months in patients with BPL ≥ 290 mcL (P = 0,00001), when they were compared with the control group, patients with high BPL (≥ 290 mcL) had overall shorter survival (P = 0,00001), regardless of histology, age or smoking history.

      fd69c5cf902969e6fb71d043085ddee6 Conclusions

      Patients treated with radical intention and high BPL (≥ 290 mcL), have worse overall survival, regardless of histology, age or smoking history.
