      Background

      There have been conflicting results about the clinical features and prognosis of primary lung cancer with cavity lesion (LC-CL). We, therefore, revisited the clinicopathological features of primary LC-CL and reassessed whether they exhibited poor prognosis in non-small-cell lung cancer.

      Method

      Between 2006 and 2014, 377 patients underwent complete resection for clinical T1aN0 non-small-cell lung cancer. Clinical stage was adapted to the seventh edition of the lung cancer stage classification system. Among these cases, 23 (6.1%) were diagnosed as LC-CL. We compared the characteristics and prognosis between LC-CL and the others.

      Result

      LC-CL showed higher CEA (≧5 ng/mL) (p<0.01), higher SUV max (≧2.5) (p=0.02), the status of smoking history (p<0.01), larger actual pathologic tumor size (≧3cm) (p<0.01), lymphatic invasion (p=0.03), as compared with the others. The overall and recurrence-free survival of the patients with LC-CL were shorter than those of the others (p=0.01 and 0.03, respectively). Univariate analysis revealed that sex (p=0.01), age (≧70) (p<0.01), CEA (p<0.01), SUV max (p<0.01), smoking history (p<0.01), pathologic tumor stage (≧Ⅱ) (p=0.01), vascular invasion (p<0.01), lymphatic invasion (p=0.04), pleural invasion (p<0.01) and cavity lesion (p=0.01) showed significant poor prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis revealed that age (p=0.02) and SUV max (p<0.01) remained significant prognostic factors, but cavity lesion was not significant (p=0.17).

      Conclusion

      Although the value of its prognostic factor was not significant, primary LC-CL should be considered to have aggressive malignant behavior in non-small-cell lung cancer.
