Background: The NCCN (National Comprehensive Cancer Network) Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN guidelines) recommend radical resection for T1–2N0M0 patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (LS-SCLC). However, only about 5% of patients with small cell cancer (SCLC) were initially diagnosed as T1–2N0M0. The purpose of our study was to analyze and compare the effects of the comprehensive treatment including radical surgery and concurrent chemoradiotherapy on the prognosis of patients with LS-SCLC. Methods: We comprehensively reviewed the medical data of patients with SCLC diagnosed by pathology in our hospital from January 2011 to April 2018. The Ethics Committee of West China Hospital of Sichuan University approved the study. Finally, 50 patients with good follow-up and complete medical data were selected as the surgical group (S group). According to the clinical characteristics of the patients in the S group, 102 LS-SCLC patients who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the same period were included in the CCRT group (concurrent chemoradiotherapy group) as the control group. Then according to the orders of the adjuvant treatments, the patients in the S group were divided into the SA group (radical surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy + adjuvant radiotherapy group, 30 cases in total) and the NS group (neoadjuvant chemotherapy + radical surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy ± adjuvant radiotherapy group, 20 cases in total) for subgroup analysis. The SPSS 23.0 software was used for statistical analysis, and the t test was used for group comparison; Kaplan-Meier was used for survival analysis. P < 0.05 demonstrates a statistically significant difference. Results: The median progress-free survival (PFS) in the S group (73 months) was significantly better than that in the CCRT group (10.5 months, P < 0.0001), and the median overall survival (OS) in the S group (79 months) was also significantly better than that in the CCRT group (23 months, P < 0.0001). Subgroup analysis showed that there was no significant difference between the NS group and the SA group. Conclusions: For LS-SCLC patients, the comprehensive treatment including radical surgery (radical surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy ± adjuvant radiotherapy/neoadjuvant chemotherapy + radical surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy ± adjuvant radiotherapy) may be superior to concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Background and Objectives: In October 2018, the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) revised its classification of advanced stages of cervical cancer. The main points of the classification are as follows: stage IIIC is newly established; pelvic lymph node metastasis is stage IIIC1; and para-aortic lymph node metastasis is stage IIIC2. Currently, in Japan, radical hysterectomy is performed in advanced stages IA2 to IIB of FIGO2014, and concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) is recommended for patients with positive lymph nodes. However, the efficacy of CCRT is not always satisfactory. The aim of this study was to compare postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy (CT) and postoperative CCRT in stage IIIC1 patients. Materials and Methods: Of the 40 patients who had undergone a radical hysterectomy at Iwate Medical University between January 2011 and December 2016 and were pathologically diagnosed as having positive pelvic lymph nodes, 21 patients in the adjuvant CT group and 19 patients in the postoperative CCRT group were compared. Results: The 5 year survival rates were 77.9% in the CT group and 74.7% in the CCRT group, with no significant difference. There was no significant difference in overall survival or progression-free survival between the two groups. There was no significant difference between CT and CCRT in postoperative adjuvant therapy in the new classification IIIC1 stage. Conclusions: The results of the prospective Japanese Gynecologic Oncology Group (JGOG) 1082 study are pending, but the present results suggest that CT may be a treatment option in rural areas where radiotherapy facilities are limited.

e20002 Background: Several systemic inflammatory markers in blood have been suggested as prognostic factors in various cancers. We investigated the prognostic significance of neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) in patients (pts) with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on 108 pts who received adjuvant chemotherapy after surgical resection of NSCLC. Disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) of pts with high NLR and ALC ( > median value) before surgery or chemotherapy were compared to those of pts with low NLR and ALC (≤median value). Results: The number of pts at AJCC stage IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, and IIIB were 1, 38, 9, 58, and 2, respectively. Adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and other histologic types were present in 66 (61.1%), 32 (29.6%), and 10 (9.3%) pts, respectively. The most frequently used chemotherapy regimen was vinorelbine/cisplatin (81 pts), followed by paclitaxel/carboplatin (22 pts), and others (5 pts). A total of 61 (56.5%) pts received adjuvant radiotherapy (before adjuvant chemotherapy: 53 pts). Preoperative NLR and ALC were not associated with clinicopathologic characteristics including stage and histologic types. High prechemotherapy NLR and low ALC were more frequently observed in pts who underwent radiotherapy before chemotherapy (p < 0.0001). The median follow-up duration was 70 (38-162) months for survivors. Pts with stage III demonstrated poor DFS (p = 0.019) and OS (p = 0.028) compared to those with stage IB or II. The shorter median DFS was observed in pts with low prechemotherapy ALC (20 vs. 65 months, p = 0.021), without significant difference in OS (p = 0.088). On the other hand, NLR and preoperative ALC were not associated with outcome of pts. Conclusions: The present study suggests that high prechemotherapy ALC is associated with poor outcome in stage IB-III NSCLC pts who received adjuvant chemotherapy after surgical resection.

Abstract Background : For cervical cancer patients whose tumors display a combination of intermediate risk factors, postoperative radiation with or without adjuvant chemotherapy is suggested for them. However, who should be administered with adjuvant chemotherapy is unknown. The current study was designed to explore the clinical value of squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCC-Ag) in guiding the use of adjuvant chemotherapy in cervical cancer patients. Methods : A retrospective study of 301 cervical cancer patients treated by surgery and adjuvant treatment from March 2006 to March 2016 was performed. All patients were divided into two groups according to receiving adjuvant chemotherapy or not. Overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS) were compare between patients who did and did not receive adjuvant radiotherapy. Multivariate analysis was employed to detect clinical factors associated with disease-free survival, local recurrence-free survival and distant metastasis-free survival. Results: For patients with high pre-treatment SCC-Ag level, DFS and OS in adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy group were higher than that in adjuvant radiotherapy group. Besides, the rates of distant metastasis were found lower in patients who did receive adjuvant chemotherapy than those who did not. For patients with low pre-treatment SCC-Ag level, the 5-year OS and DFS were similar between groups of adjuvant chemo-radiotherapy and adjuvant radiotherapy. Multivariable analysis indicated adjuvant chemotherapy was independent predictors of DFS and distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) in patients with high SCC-Ag level. Conclusion: SCC-Ag can serve as an indication for the administration of adjuvant chemotherapy in cervical cancer patients.

187 Background: Although radical surgery with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) is a standard therapy for locally advanced thoracic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in response to the result of JCOG 9907 study in Japan, there was no significant difference in survival rate at adjuvant chemotherapy and neoadjuvant chemotherapy in cStage III at subanalysis. Methods: Consecutive patients histologically diagnosed with ESCC and planned to undergo radical surgery followed by adjuvant chemotherapy (ADJ) from September 2002 to April 2007 and radical surgery following NAC from May 2007 to December 2011 as initial treatment were eligible for this retrospective study. To select patients who could tolerate transthoracic esophagectomy, respiratory function, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, and preoperative complications were considered. As adjuvant and neoadjuvant chemotherapy, cisplatin and 5-fluorouracil were administered every 3 weeks for 2 cycles (FP). Patient characteristics, 3-year overall survival (3yOS) and non complete resection rate were investigated. We analyzed in intent-to-treat analysis. Results: Ninety patients were included in ADJ group, 98 included in NAC group. No significant differences were observed in clinicopathological factors between ADJ group (cStage IB/II/III/IV=6/22/57/5) and NAC group (cStage IB/II/III/IV=10/28/52/8). In intention-to-treat analysis, there was no significant difference in 3yOS rate by ADJ group and NAC group (ADJ group, 67.2%; NAC group, 66.0%; p = 0.301). However, non complete resection rate was significantly higher for NAC group than for ADJ group {ADJ group, 16.7% (3/90); NAC group, 3.4% (14/98); p = 0.009}. In cStage III, non complete resection rate of ADJ group was 3.5% (2/57) and NAC group was 25% (13/52). In the patients with cStage III, NAC group had a tendency for 3yOS rate to be low rather than ADJ group (ADJ group, 66.3%; NAC group, 51.1%; p = 0.09). Conclusions: In cStage III advanced ESCC, FP as NAC may be insufficient and development of the more powerful NAC is desired.

e16070 Background: The data about prognosis difference of patients with pT2 stage gastric cancer (GC) after radical surgery is diverse. The latest TNM staging system does not define details for the pT2 stage subclassification. The purpose of this study is to investigate the survival difference according to depth of tumor muscularis propria involvement and find biomarker to reinforce the prognostic and therapy-guided ability of TNM staging system. Methods: A total of 380 patients with pT2 GC after radical surgery were retrospectively analyzed, including 185 in sMP (superficial muscularis propria) group and 195 in dMP (deep muscularis propria) group. The log-rank test was used to identify survival outcomes. Independent factors were identified by multivariable Cox proportional hazard model for OS. Results: The overall survival (OS) of patients in sMP group was significantly better than patients in dMP group (P = 0.007). On multivariate analysis, age (<60 vs ≥60: P = 0.004, HR, 2.075(95%CI: 1.261-3.414)), primary location (P = 0.002, U vs M: 0.985(0.509-1.909); U vs L: 0.400(0.235-0.680)), depth of tumor invasion (sMP vs dMP: P = 0.050, 1.584(1.261-3.414), pN stage (P = 0.000, N0 vs N1: 2.304(1.364-3.890); N0 vs N2: 1.879(0.967-3.652); N0 vs N3: 5.335(2.533-11.237)), expression of p53 (negative vs positive: P = 0.016, 1.793(1.117-2.879)) were independent prognostic factors for the OS. In pN0 stage tumor, the sMP group had a significantly better OS than the dMP group (P = 0.014). When classified as N+, there was no obviously difference of OS between two groups (P = 0.384). When patients were stratified according to the depth of tumor invasion and pN stage, the OS was not significant difference between dMPN0 group and sMPN1-2 group (P = 0.100), the OS of patients with adjuvant chemotherapy were statistically better than those without in dMPN0 group (P = 0.045), but not significance in sMPN1-2 group (P = 0.486). After further grouping according to adjuvant chemotherapy status, in comparison to sMPN1-2 patients, dMPN0 patients with adjuvant chemotherapy had better OS (P = 0.015), but not significance in patients without (P = 0.599). Upon stratification according to the expression of p53, in p53-positive group, greater OS could be observed in patients with sMPN0 than patients with dMPN0 (P = 0.002). Similar OS could be seen between dMPN0 patients with p53-positive and T2N1-2 patients (P = 0.872). Conclusions: For pT2 gastric cancer patients, there were differences in survival outcomes for sMP and dMP invasion. The prognosis of dMPN0 patients were similar to patients with sMPN1-2, and dMPN0 patients who accepted adjuvant chemotherapy had an improved prognosis than those without. Appropriate adjuvant chemotherapy should be considered for patients with dMPN0 stage. In addition, positive expression of p53 could be potential factors to identify the different prognoses for patients with pT2 gastric cancers.
