Non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC) are different today, due to the increased use of screening programs and of innovative systemic therapies, leading to the diagnosis of earlier and pre-invasive tumors, and of more advanced and controlled metastatic tumors. Surgery for NSCLC remains the cornerstone treatment when it can be performed. The role of surgery and surgeons has also evolved because surgeons not only perform the initial curative lung cancer resection but they also accompany and follow-up patients from pre-operative rehabilitation, to treatment for recurrences. Surgery is personalized, according to cancer characteristics, including cancer extensions, from pre-invasive and local tumors to locally advanced, metastatic disease, or residual disease after medical treatment, anticipating recurrences, and patients’ characteristics. Surgical management is constantly evolving to offer the best oncologic resection adapted to each NSCLC stage. Today, NSCLC can be considered as a chronic disease and surgery is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and treatment of recurrences, and in palliative conditions to relieve dyspnea and improve patients’ comfort.

Abstract Somatic mutations of the chromatin remodeling gene ARID2 are observed in about 7% of human lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). However, the role of ARID2 in the pathogenesis of LUAD remains largely unknown. Here we find that ARID2 expression is decreased during the malignant progression of both human and mice LUAD. Using two KrasG12D-based genetically engineered murine models (GEMM), we demonstrate that ARID2 knockout significantly promotes lung cancer malignant progression and shortens the overall survival. Consistently, ARID2 knockdown significantly promotes cell proliferation in human and mice lung cancer cells. Through integrative analyses of Chip-Seq and RNA-Seq data, we find that Hspa1a is up-regulated by Arid2 loss. Knockdown of Hspa1a specifically inhibits malignant progression of Arid2-deficient but not Arid2-wt lung cancers in both cell lines as well as animal models. Treatment with Hspa1a inhibitor could significantly inhibit the malignant progression of lung cancer with Arid2 deficiency. Together, our findings establish ARID2 as an important tumor suppressor in LUAD with novel mechanistic insights, and further identify HSPA1A as a potential therapeutic target in ARID2-deficient LUAD.

PURPOSE: To investigate the causes of the raised risk of lung cancer in patients who have had Hodgkin’s disease, and in particular the relationship to treatment. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A nested case-control study was conducted within a cohort of 5,519 patients with Hodgkin’s disease treated in Britain during 1963 through 1993. For 88 cases of lung cancer and 176 matched control subjects, information on treatment and other risk factors was extracted from hospital case-notes, and odds ratios for lung cancer in relation to these factors were calculated. RESULTS: Risk of lung cancer was borderline significantly greater in patients treated with mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine, and prednisone (MOPP) chemotherapy than those who did not receive this treatment (relative risk [RR] = 1.66; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.99 to 2.82), and increased with number of cycles of MOPP (P = .07). Exclusion of lung cancers for which histologic confirmation was not available strengthened these associations (RR = 2.41; 95% CI, 1.33 to 4.51; P = .004 for any MOPP and P = .007 for trend with number of cycles of MOPP). Risks were not raised, however, after chlorambucil, vinblastine, procarbazine, and prednisone treatment. There was evidence that the raised risk of lung cancer occurring in relation to radiotherapy was restricted to histologies other than adenocarcinoma. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that MOPP chemotherapy may lead to elevated risk of lung cancer, at least in certain subgroups of patients. The role of chemotherapy in the etiology of lung cancer after Hodgkin’s disease deserves further investigation.
