      Background

      Classically, T4 non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are tumors of any size that have features of local extension often precluding surgical resection or necessitating complex extended pulmonary surgery. However, the new AJCC 8thedition includes tumors greater than 7cm regardless of adjacent organ extension. The early perioperative outcomes from T4 resections must be contextualized to the increasingly heterogeneous classification offered by the new staging system. Our goal was to examine perioperative and long-term outcomes from pT4 resections based on the AJCC 7thedition versus those of the expanded criteria of the 8thedition.

      Method

      This is a retrospective study of pT4 surgical resections at the Montreal General Hospital from 2011-2018. Data was analyzed using GraphPad Prism and SPSS.

      Result

      We identified 158 patients with pT4 tumors based on AJCC-8: 40 by AJCC-7 criteria (Group1) and 118 with tumors >7cm considered pT4 in AJCC-8 (Group2). Demographics and clinical characteristics are detailed in Table 1. The incidence of major complications (grade 3 or 4) was similar in both cohorts (17.5% in Group1 and 13.6% in Group2; p=0.37), with 3.8% in-hospital mortality (7.5% in Group1 and 2.5% in Group2; p=0.16). Overall survival was 76% at 1 year, 44% at 3 years and 34% at 5 years. Median overall survival was 27 months and was similar between Group1 and Group2 (25.8 and 27.4 months, respectively p=0.7). Nevertheless, Group2 had better peri-operative survival than Group1: 99% vs 92% 90-day mortality (p=0.02) and 95% vs 83% 6-month mortality (p<0.01). Finally, Kaplan-Meier curves adjusted for predictors of survival with Cox regression analysis show early mortality in Group 1 with equalization of the curves at 1 year (Figure 1).

      Conclusion

      While long-term oncological outcomes are similar for pT4 >7cm to those of AJCC-7 pT4 patients, differences in perioperative outcomes point to the heterogeneity of the new AJCC-8 classification with regards to surgical management.
