Abstract Objective This study aimed to evaluate the characteristics of patients with newly diagnosed advanced lung cancer who initially presented with respiratory failure. Methods A retrospective study analyzed the outcome of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) with newly diagnosed advanced lung cancer placed on mechanical ventilation (MV). We defined newly-diagnosed lung cancer as pathological or molecular results for treatment decisions not being out when the patient was admitted to ICU. Results During the 14-year inclusion period, 845 lung cancer patients requiring MV were screened. 56 newly diagnosed extensive lung cancer patients were analyzed. Cancer-related to central airway obstruction (n=29, 51.8%) was the leading cause of respiratory failure. The significant etiologies of delay in the diagnosis of lung cancer were diagnostic error, mistaking the cancer for tuberculosis, and missed hilar lesion. The 6-month survival was only 7.1% (n=4). SOFA score was significantly associated with mortality (HR = 1.144, 95% CI = 1.014-1.291, p = 0.028). The 6-month survival rate in patients receiving suitable targeted therapy and accepting chemotherapy and best supportive care was 40%(2/5), 0%(0/7), and 4.5%(2/44), respectively. Conclusions Patients with newly diagnosed advanced lung cancer with acute life-threatening respiratory failure have poor outcomes. Cancer-related to central airway obstruction is a leading cause of respiratory failure. Diagnostic error as tuberculosis and missed hilar lesions are two main etiologies of delay in the diagnosis. The SOFA score is correlated with mortality. For patients with oncogenic mutation adenocarcinoma, after survival from critical condition, targeted therapy can raise their six month survival rates.

Hazard Ratios

BackgroundIn pivotal immunotherapy trials, the efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors as treatments for lung cancer patients with brain metastases remains controversial. The aim of this study was to assess the relative efficacy of immunotherapy versus standard systemic therapy in advanced lung cancer patients with and without brain metastases.MethodsSystematic searches of PubMed, Embase, Cochrane database, and conference proceedings up to Aug 6, 2020 without year and language restrictions. The main outcomes were the overall survival in patients with and without brain metastases measured by hazard ratios, and the difference in efficacy between patients with and without brain metastases was measured by ratio of hazard ratios.ResultsNine eligible randomized controlled trials involving 6241 patients (682 [11%] with brain metastases and 5559 [89%] without brain metastases) were included in the analysis. A survival benefit of immunotherapy was observed for both patients with brain metastases (HR, 0.75; 95%CI, 0.53-0.97; P = .026) and patients without brain metastases (HR, 0.75; 95%CI, 0.67-0.83; P <.001). However, patients without brain metastases benefit more from immunotherapy than patients with brain metastases (HR, 1.37; 95%CI, 1.15-1.63; P = .001). Additionally, subgroup analyses indicated that tumor type affect the efficacy of immunotherapy in patients with brain metastases (HR, 1.04 vs 1.54; interaction, P = .041).ConclusionsImmunotherapy can significantly improve overall survival for advanced lung cancer patients with asymptomatic brain metastases, especially in patients with non-small-cell lung cancer, but the magnitude of benefit is brain metastases dependent.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42020206597.
