The development of resistance to chemotherapy is one of the major obstacles in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this study was to investigate the prognostic value of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MRP1), breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP), lung resistance-related protein (LRP), and excision repair cross-complementing 1 (ERCC1) in NSCLC patients receiving cisplatin-based adjuvant chemotherapy (cisplatin plus vinorelbine or gemcitabine) after tumor resection. We used semiquantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction to detect the expression of MRP1, BCRP, LRP and ERCC1 mRNA in surgical resection specimens of 60 patients with stage IB through IIIA NSCLC. The expression level of each gene was analyzed in relation to clinicopathological factors, tumor-free survival (TFS), and overall survival. The results showed that stage IIIA (p=0.011), N1 and N2 status (p=0.008), high expression of MRP1 (p=0.034) and LRP (p=0.018) were associated with shorter TFS. Stage IIIA (p=0.0105), N1 and N2 status (p=0.009), high expression of MRP1 (p=0.021) and ERCC1 (p=0.012) were related to a shorter overall survival. Cox multivariate analyses revealed that early stage (p=0.013 and p=0.024), negative lymph node status (p=0.006 and p=0.011), and low MRP1 expression (p=0.022 and p=0.035) were independent predictors of favorable TFS and overall survival, respectively. Additionally, ERCC1 (p=0.019) was an independent predictor of favorable overall survival.

AbstractLocally advanced, stage IIIA-N2 Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) represents a heterogeneous patient population. Considerable controversy exists as to the optimal management of these patients. Local therapy alone with a single modality, namely surgery or radiation, is associated with high recurrence rates and low overall survival. Consequently, multimodality treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, with or without the utilization of surgery) has developed as a means of both local and systemic control for patients with stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC, and has led to improved overall survival. While it is clear that multimodality therapy is beneficial, the ideal composition of the treatment regimen remains a work in progress. As a result, the optimal management of patients with stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC is widely debated, as is the role for surgery in a multimodality treatment regimen. Herein, we review the current literature supporting multimodality therapy for stage IIIA-N2 NSCLC with an emphasis on the data supporting the role of surgery in resectable and potentially resectable patients.

e20555 Background: The indications for post-operative radiation therapy (PORT) in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remain undefined and a major concern is the perceived risk of increased mortality from cardiopulmonary causes. The purpose of this study was to quantify the rate of cardiopulmonary death in patients with resected NSCLC receiving PORT using a large national database. Methods: Using the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database for lung cancer, patients with Stage IIIA or Stage IIIB NSCLC according to the 6th AJCC edition treated with surgery followed by PORT, who also received chemotherapy were identified. Cause of death was categorized as due to lung cancer, other cancer, cardiac, pulmonary, or other and reported as a percentage of total deaths at one and 2 years. Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was done to compare overall survival between Stage IIIA and IIIB patients. Results: From 2004 to 2015, 4387 patients with stage IIIA and IIIB meeting the eligibility criteria were identified. The median age at diagnosis was 65 years old, most patients were male (53%), Caucasian (83%), had adenocarcinoma (54.8%), stage IIIA disease (69%), and N2 disease (78%). The median overall survival for Stage IIIA and IIIB patients was 39 months and 27 months respectively (p < 0.001). Among the 2586 patients that died during the study period, the most common COD was lung cancer (81.3%). Cardiac and pulmonary COD occurred in 86 patients (3.3% of deaths) and 84 patients (3.2% of deaths) respectively, whereas 158 patients (6.1%) died from other cancers and 154 (5.9%) from other causes. There were 77 deaths from cardiopulmonary cause at 2 years (1.7% of patients and 2.9% of deaths). Cardiopulmonary COD was more common in patients with stage IIIB compared to IIIA disease (4.9% vs 3.3% of deaths, p < 0.001). Lung cancer was the most common COD both at 1 and 2 years (85%) whereas cardiopulmonary was the COD in 5.2% of patients at 1 year and 5.1% at 2 years. Conclusions: This analysis showed a low cardiopulmonary mortality from PORT in the first 2 years. The role for adjuvant radiotherapy remains undefined and treatment decisions for patients with resected stage III NSCLC should be guided by co-morbidities and the competing risk for death from lung cancer.

AbstractBackgroundNon-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is one of the most important causes of death worldwide. Most patients are diagnosed in the advanced stage and have a poor prognosis. This study was to investigate the expression and significance of CENPE in NSCLC.MethodCollecting information about CENPE in the Oncoming database, and perform a further analysis of the data in the current database to conduct a meta-analysis for its functional role in NSCLC. Patient life cycle analysis using Kaplan-Meier Plotter and GEPIA databases are used to perform patient survival analysis.ResultA total of 12 studies involved the expression of CENPE in NSCLC cancer tissues and normal tissues, including 1195 samples. CENPE was highly expressed in NSCLC cell carcinoma compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Moreover, the expression of CENPE was correlated with the overall survival rate of CENPE. The overall survival rate of patients with high expression of CENPE was poor, and the prognosis of patients with low expression of CENPE was better (P<0.05).ConclusionWe propose high expression of CENPE in NSLCL tissue is related to the prognosis of NSCLC, which may provide important basis for the development of tumor drugs.
