7623 Background: Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) has been aggressively performed as a radical treatment for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in Japan, however most cases were medically inoperable. In a large Japanese multi-institutional experience, we reviewed the treatment outcome of SRT for medically operable stage I NSCLC cases with the patients’ refusal to surgery. Methods: In 1995–2004, 86 medically operable patients with stage I NSCLC (median age, 74 years; 62 T1N0M0; 24 T2N0M0) were treated with SRT alone in 14 reliable institutions. Stereotactic three-dimensional treatment was performed using non-coplanar dynamic arcs or multiple static ports. A total dose of 20 to 72.5 Gy at the isocenter was administered in 1 to 10 fractions. Median calculated biological effective dose (BED) was 115 Gy (range, 100–153 Gy). The data was collected and analyzed in a retrospective manner. Results: During follow-up (median, 43 months), pulmonary complications of above grade 2 arose in 4 patients (5.8%). Local control rates at 3 and 5-year post SRT were 88.1% and 85.5%, respectively. Three and 5-year overall survival rates were 80.7% and 71.3%, respectively. Five-year overall survival rate for patients whose age was over 70 years (n=27) and under 70 years (n=58) were 74.3% and 69.6%, respectively. Five-year overall survival rate for stage IA (n=62) and IB (n=24) cases were 72.3% and 68.4%, respectively. Conclusions: SRT is safe and promising as a radical treatment for operable stage I NSCLC. The survival rate of SRT is potentially comparable to that of surgery. No significant financial relationships to disclose.

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.

Abstract The purpose of the study was to investigate the association between tumor volume changes during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and prognoses in stage I non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This retrospective review included stage I NSCLC patients in whom SBRT was performed at a total dose of 48.0–50.5 Gy in four or five fractions. The tumor volumes observed on computed tomography (CT) simulation and on the CT performed at the last treatment session using a CT-on-rails system were measured and compared. Then, the tumor volume changes during the SBRT period were measured and assessed for their association with prognoses (overall survival, local control, lymph node metastases and distant metastases). A total of 98 patients with a mean age of 78.6 years were enrolled in the study. The T-stage was T1a in 42%, T1b in 32% and T2a in 26% of the cases. The gross tumor volume (GTV) shrank and increased ≥10% in 23 (23.5%) and 36 (36.7%) of the cases, respectively. The 5-year local control and overall survival rates in the groups with a tumor shrinkage of ≥10% vs the group with a shrinkage of &lt;10% were 94.7 vs 70.8% and 85.4 vs 47.6%, respectively; these differences were significant, with a P-value &lt; 0.05. During a short SBRT period, the tumor shrank or enlarged in a small number of cases. A decrease of ≥10% in the GTV during SBRT was significantly related to better overall survival and local control.

Background. The aim was to investigate the potential factors related with overall survival of oligometastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Methods. A literature search was conducted in databases including PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane library up to March 2017. The hazard radio (HR) as well as the corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated, and all the statistics analysis was performed by the R 3.12. Heterogeneity was analyzed using I-squared and Cochran Q tests. Furthermore, sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the stability of results. Results. In total, 6 articles were included in the meta-analysis. Nodal status was significantly correlated with the overall survival rate of NSCLC oligometastatic patients (HR: 1.69, 95% CI: 1.23–2.32, Z=3.20, P=0.001). No significant relationship was found between overall survival rate of NSCLC oligometastatic patients and the indicators including sex, stage, smoker, age, and histology. Notably, sensitivity analysis on data evaluating relationship between patients survival and the stage and histology showed that results were reversed after removing one of the studies. Conclusions. Nodal status might be associated with the overall survival of oligometastatic NSCLC patients.

9026 Background: Occult (T0) primary non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with mediastinal involvement is a known but rare clinical condition. Its prognosis has not been evaluated well in the literature. Methods: Using National Cancer Database (NCDB), cases diagnosed between 2004 and 2016 with unresectable clinical stage III NSCLC with N2 or N3 involvement were selected and assigned to T0 or T1-4 group according to AJCC staging version 6th or 7th. Clinical demographics including use of chemotherapy/immunotherapy in first course of treatment were collected. As validation, independent data using Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program (SEER) was analyzed accordingly. Survival analyses were conducted using Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests. Results: A total of 458 and 84,263 cases met criteria for unresectable, N2/N3 stage III NSCLC with T0 and T1-4 status, respectively. T0 status was associated with younger age, recent diagnosis, adenocarcinoma histology, N3, and use of chemotherapy. Overall survival (OS) was improved in T0 over T1-4 group (p < 0.0001) with a five-year survival rate of 30.5% and 12.7%, respectively, with a validation with multivariate proportional hazard models. Propensity score matching analyses using all 458 patients in each group demonstrated a significant difference in OS (p < 0.0001). The difference was also significant in a subset of those who have undergone chemoradiation (p < 0.0001). Independent analysis using SEER data confirmed its superior survival of T0 over T1-4 with a five-year survival rate of 35.3% and 13.5%, respectively. Conclusions: Both NCDB and SEER analyses demonstrated better survival of T0 than T1-4 counterpart in the setting of unresectable stage III NSCLC, irrespective of chemotherapy status. This group may require a distinct assignment to new staging group after further investigation.

e21109 Background: Historically, limited stage Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) has been treated with concurrent chemoradiation (CRT). While current NCCN guidelines recommend consideration of lobectomy in node-negative cT1-T2 SCLC, real world data regarding the role of surgery in very limited SCLC is lacking. To our knowledge, only one retrospective study has evaluated the role of surgery in stage I SCLC. Methods: Data from the National VA Cancer Cube were compiled. A total of 1,028 patients with pathologically confirmed Stage I SCLC were studied. Only 661 patients that either received surgery or CRT were included. Interval-censored Weibull and Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to estimate median overall survival (OS) and hazard ratio (HR), respectively. Two survival curves were compared by a Wald test. Subset analysis was performed based on the location of the tumor in the upper vs lower lobe as delineated by ICD-10 codes C34.1 and C34.3. Results: Four-hundred and forty-two patients received concurrent CRT; while 219 underwent treatment that contained surgery (92 surgery only, 84 surgery/chemo, 39 surgery/chemo/radiation and 4 surgery/radiation). The median OS for the surgery-inclusive treatment was 3.87 years (95% CI 3.25-4.60) while median OS for the CRT cohort was 2.43 years (95% CI 2.15-2.72). HR of death for surgery-inclusive treatment when compared to CRT was 0.65 (95% CI 0.54-0.79; p < 0.001). Subset analysis based on the location of the tumor in upper lobe and lower lobe showed improved survival with surgery as compared to CRT regardless of the location. HR for upper lobe was 0.61 (95% CI 0.48-0.78; p < 0.001) and lower lobe 0.60 (95% CI 0.41-0.87; p = 0.007). Multivariable regression analysis accounting for age and ECOG-PS shows a HR 0.60 (95% CI 0.42-0.85; p = 0.004) favoring surgery. Conclusions: Surgery was used in less than a third of patients with stage I SCLC who received treatment. Surgery-inclusive multimodality treatment was associated with a longer overall survival as compared to chemoradiation, independent of age, performance status or tumor location. Our study supports a more expansive role for surgery in stage I SCLC.

Background According to practice guidelines, patients with clinical stage T1–2 node-negative small-cell lung cancer are candidates for surgical resection. However, the role of pneumonectomy in small-cell lung cancer patients is not well understood. The objective of this study was to assess the extent to which pneumonectomy is used and to evaluate the survival implications for small-cell lung cancer patients who underwent pneumonectomy. Methods A total of 106 small-cell lung cancer patients who underwent pneumonectomy between 2006 and 2016 and met the study criteria were identified in the National Cancer Database. Demographics and treatment regimens are described, and overall survival was assessed using Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests. Results The most common treatment was surgery with adjuvant chemotherapy, followed by surgery only and surgery with neoadjuvant therapy. The 5-year overall survival for the entire cohort after pneumonectomy was 23%. In subgroup analysis, the 5-year overall survival was 30% for guideline-concordant clinical stage I patients and 28% for clinical stage II/III patients who underwent pneumonectomy. There was no statistical difference in survival according to pathologic N disease. Patients with a right-sided pneumonectomy had higher mortality than patients with a left-sided pneumonectomy. Conclusions This study suggests a role for pneumonectomy in clinical stage I and potentially some clinical stage II and III small-cell lung cancer patients. Right-sided pneumonectomy is associated with higher mortality and should be approached with caution. Despite declining trends over the past decades, pneumonectomy is still an effective treatment that is able to achieve acceptable survival outcomes.
