Background: This study aims to identify the prognostic factors in Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer and to investigate whether there was a significant difference in terms of overall survival and disease-free survival among the subgroups belonging to this disease stage. Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2018, a total of 144 patients (125 males, 19 females; median age 60 years; range, 41 to 80 years) who were operated for non-small cell lung cancer in our clinic and whose pathological stage was reported as IIIA were retrospectively analyzed. Data including demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, histopathological diagnosis, the standardized uptake value of the mass on positron emission tomography-computed tomography, tumor diameter, type of surgery, lymph node metastasis status, visceral pleural invasion, and overall and disease-free survival rates were recorded. Results: The median survival was 39 (range, 27.8 to 46.1) months and the five-year overall survival rate was 28%. The mean tumor diameter was 4.3±2.7 cm. The median disease-free survival was 37 (range, 28.1 to 48.6) months and the five-year disease-free survival rate was 26.9%. In the multivariate analysis, overall survival and disease-free survival in T2N2M0 subgroup were significantly worse than the other subgroups. The other poor prognostic factors of survival were the standardized uptake value of the tumor, pneumonectomy, and histopathological subtypes other than squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Parietal pleural invasion was significantly associated with worse disease-free survival rates. Conclusion: Our results showed that there may be significant survival differences between subgroups created by tumor histopathology, lymph node invasion and the type of surgery in a heterogeneous lung cancer stage.

ObjectiveThe primary objective of the study was to compare the survival rate of patients who had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy with that of patients who had received radiation therapy for stage IIB cervical cancer. The secondary objective was to analyze the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy on pathological prognostic factors.Materials and MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who had received therapy for stage IIB cervical cancer. Based on the primary therapy, 192 patients were divided into 2 groups; patients in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group (n =103) underwent a type III radical hysterectomy after completion of the neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Patients in the other group (n = 89) were treated with radiation alone or a combination of chemotherapy and radiotherapy.ResultsAfter neoadjuvant chemotherapy, the level of squamous cell carcinoma antigen, tumor size, lymph node involvement, and parametrium involvement were significantly decreased. However, 90.3% of the patients who had received neoadjuvant chemotherapy needed to have adjuvant therapy after radical surgery because of poor pathological prognostic factors. The rate of disease-free survival did not differ significantly between the 2 groups. However, the overall survival rate was significantly lower in the neoadjuvant chemotherapy group for patients who were 60 years or older (P = 0.03). The rates of disease-free survival and overall survival for patients who had a good (complete or partial) response to the neoadjuvant chemotherapy were not significantly higher than the rates for patients in the radiation therapy group.ConclusionsAlthough neoadjuvant chemotherapy improved pathological prognostic factors in patients with stage IIB cervical cancer, it was not sufficiently effective to decrease adjuvant therapy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy also did not improve the rate of patient survival compared to the rate of patient survival in the radiation therapy group.

3546 Background: The insulin-like growth factor type 1 receptor (IGF-1R) is involved in progression and sensitivity to systemic treatment of breast cancer. Moreover, targeted inhibition of IGF-1R is likely to be beneficial in systemic treatment. However, it is unknown how to select patients for IGF-1R targeted therapy. Therefore, we studied the relation between IGF-1R expression and prognosis in invasive ductal breast carcinomas. Methods: Immunohistochemistry was performed on tumor tissue of a consecutive cohort of 429 female patients treated for operable primary invasive ductal breast carcinoma. TMA sections were stained with antibodies against IGF1-R, insulin receptor (IR), ER, PR, HER-2, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and phosphorylated-Akt (p-Akt). Cytoplasmic and membranous IGF-1R staining were scored separately, as the relevance of IGF-1R cellular localization is yet unknown. Associations between IGF-1R expression with clinical and tumor characteristics were evaluated in a multivariate Cox regression model. To study in more detail the prognostic role of IGF-1R expression in triple negative invasive ductal carcinomas (TN IDCs), 51 TN IDCs from the series described above were combined with 64 TN IDCs from an independent dataset with similar patient and clinico-pathological characteristics. Results: Patients with tumors expressing both ER and cytoplasmic IGF-1R have a longer disease free survival (HR = 0.20; 95% CI 0.07 - 0.63; p-value = 0.006) and breast cancer specific survival (HR = 0.20, 95% CI 0.07 - 0.63, p-value = 0.002), independent of other known prognostic factors. Conversely, in the combined series of 105 TN IDCs, cytoplasmic IGF-1R expression was associated with a shorter disease free survival (HR = 2.29; 95% CI 1.08 - 4.48, p-value = 0.03). In a multivariate model including known prognostic factors, cytoplasmic IGF-1R expression was nearly significantly related to a shorter disease free survival (HR 2.06; 95% CI 0.95 - 4.47; p = 0.07). Conclusions: The favorable versus unfavorable association with prognosis of IGF-1R expression in ER positive versus TN IDCs may provide new opportunities to select patients for IGF-1R targeted therapy.
