EP1.17-32 - Long-Term Outcomes of Pulmonary Resection for Lung Cancer Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (Now Available) (ID 434)
08:00 - 18:00 | Author(s): Takashi Kanou
- Abstract
Background
The increasing prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) may hinder the perioperative management and postoperative follow-up of lung cancer. To our knowledge, this study is the first to evaluate the surgical outcomes of surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in patients with CKD as a preoperative comorbidity.
Method
Among 671 patients who underwent surgery for NSCLC between 2007 and 2014 at our hospital, 55 (8%) had CKD and we retrospectively analyzed the surgical outcomes of these patients.
Result
Most patients with CKD were elderly and male. Patients with CKD had a higher frequency of smoking habit, cardiovascular disease, and pulmonary diseases, and a notably lower pulmonary function, resulting in receiving limited pulmonary resection. There were no marked differences in the frequency of surgical complications between patients with and without CKD (p = 0.16). Squamous cell carcinoma was more frequently diagnosed in patients with CKD than in those without it. The 5-year disease-free survival rates in patients with and without CKD were 60.0% and 69.7% (p = 0.06), respectively, and the 5-year overall survival rates were 68.9% and 80.0%, respectively, showing significant differences (p = 0.01). The rate of receiving supportive care was higher in patients with CKD when recurrence observed.
Conclusion
CKD is associated with a poorer overall survival in patients who undergo lung cancer resection for recurrent disease. As patients with CKD tend to have a poor respiratory function, thoracic surgeons should carefully select the resection type to balance the therapeutic benefit and invasiveness.

P2.16-16 - Calf Circumference Is Associated with Postoperative Outcomes in Lung Cancer Patients Who Underwent Surgery (Now Available) (ID 1764)
10:15 - 18:15 | Author(s): Takashi Kanou
- Abstract
Background
Sarcopenia has gained considerable attention as a poor prognostic factor in lung cancer after surgical resection. Calf circumference (CC) is an easy-to-measure, non-invasive clinical indicator that reflects body muscle mass as well as subcutaneous fat. For this property, many studies have reported that CC is capable of screening sarcopenia, aside from the assessment of nutritional status. In this study, we investigated the association between CC and postoperative outcomes in lung cancer patients.
Method
Between 2007 and 2016, 873 lung cancer patients underwent surgery in our institution. Patients who received induction therapy (n=33), with a prior history of the disease that could affect the diameter of lower limb (n=5), and with missing data (n=17) were excluded in advance, leaving 818 patients for this retrospective analysis. CC was measured prior to surgery in the occasion of hospital admission. We chose 34 cm for men and 33 cm for women as the CC cutoff value for predicting low muscle mass, following the previous report in Japan (Kawakami R et al. Geriatr Gerontol Int.). The patient characteristics, operative factors, and surgical outcomes were examined to compare the groups. The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate long-term survival.
Result
The mean age of all patients was 67.9 years. There were 473 men and 345 women, and each of their average CC was 34.4 cm and 32.0 cm. In the smaller CC (s-CC) group (n=427), the average age and the female proportion were significantly higher, whereas BMI, %VC, %FEV1 and %DLco, in addition to the proportion of the other cancer history were significantly lower (P<0.01 each) compared with the other group (n=391). As for operative factors, there were no significant differences in surgical approach, type of resection, operation time and intraoperative bleeding, except that the ratio of systematic hilar and mediastinal lymph node dissection was lower (P<0.01) in the s-CC group. Though overall postoperative complications were equivalent (27.2% vs. 23.0%), complications grade 3 or higher were more frequent in the s-CC group (10.5% vs. 5.9%, P=0.02). The 5-year DFS (65.1% vs. 77.9%, P=0.01) and OS (77.9% vs. 81.7%, P=0.03) were significantly poorer in the s-CC group.
Conclusion
The smaller CC was associated with severe postoperative complications and poor DFS and OS in patients with resected lung cancer. CC was useful for assessing sarcopenia and therefore predicting postoperative outcomes.
