8544 Background: The goal of this study was to determine patient factors associated with short- vs long-term survival after surgery for stage I/II NSCLC and assess the distribution of causes of death over time. Methods: Using the VA Central Cancer Registry, we identified patients diagnosed 2001-2005 with stage I/II NSCLC who had surgery and survived 30 days after resection. We used multivariate logistic regression models to determine the impact of patient characteristics on 1 year (1Y), 5 year (5Y), and 10 year (10Y) mortality. We compared causes of death at 1Y versus 5Y after diagnosis. Results: The analysis included 4,693 patients. Among these patients, the 1Y, 5Y, and 10Y overall survival (OS) rates were 87%, 45%, and 22%, respectively. 50% of patients alive at 5 year survived to 10 years. For each survival time period, highest survival rates were among patients who were younger (≤65), had stage I disease, had lobectomy, and had fewer comorbidities (all p < 0.0001). Significant differences in 1Y and 10Y OS were noted for histology, with highest 1Y OS among adenocarcinoma (88%) and squamous cell (87%) and highest 10Y OS among large cell (28%) and adenocarcinoma (25%). Racial differences were only observed in 10Y OS (whites 22%, blacks 26%, p = 0.01). In multivariate analyses, age > 65, stage II disease, surgery other than lobectomy, and ≥3 comorbidities were associated with increased likelihood of 1Y, 5Y, and 10Y mortality. Large cell and other histology were the only additional significant predictors of 1Y mortality [OR: 1.94 (1.33-2.84) and OR:1.36 (1.05-1.77), respectively], and squamous cell histology was a significant predictor of 10Y mortality [OR: 1.19 (1.02-1.40)] relative to adenocarcinoma. Among patients who died within 1 year of diagnosis (n = 616), the primary causes of death were lung cancer (63%), cardiovascular disease (10%), other cancer (8%), respiratory disease (3%), and other causes (15). The contribution of these causes of 5Y mortality (n = 2602) were 60%, 11%, 10%, 4%, and 12%, respectively. Conclusions: Half of patients alive at 5Y after resection of stage I/II NSCLC were alive at 10Y. 10Y survival is associated with younger age, earlier stage, non-squamous histology, lobectomy, and fewer comorbidities, but not race.

7584 Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of length of hospital stay (LOS) following surgical resection of stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on long-term survival. Methods: We reviewed the records of patients undergoing surgical resection for stage I NSCLC at our institution between 1990–2003. Patients not surviving hospitalization related to their surgery were excluded from analysis. Multivariate analysis was utilized to evaluate the impact of age, gender, tumor histology, tumor stage, LOS, and type of operation (lobar or sublobar) on long-term (>5 year) survival. As a secondary analysis, Kaplan-Meier survival curves of patients stratified according to LOS were compared using the log-rank test. Two-tailed p-values less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: A total of 730 patients underwent lobectomy (n=518) or sublobar resection during the study time period. There were 18 (2.5%) operative or in-hospital mortalities. Median LOS was 6 (range 1–81) and 7 (range 1–46) days in the lobar and sublobar cohorts, respectively. Patients with a longer hospital stay (≥14 days) had significantly worse 5- and 10-year overall survival rates as compared to those with a shorter hospitalization (lobectomy: 5-year- 60.3% vs 33.8%; 10-year-27.3% vs 8.4%; p<0.001; sublobar: 5-year-44.3% vs 11.7%; 10-year-9.9% vs 0%; p=0.006). There were 171 patients with extended clinical follow-up who had survived at least 5 years (mean follow-up = 88.1 ± 2.0 months). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that LOS predicted long-term survival independent of patient age, gender, tumor histology, tumor stage, and type of operation (p=0.013). Conclusions: LOS following surgical resection of stage I NSCLC is an independent predictor of long-term survival. These survival differences related to hospital stay may be related to underlying medical co-morbidities important to the decision making regarding therapy of patients with otherwise resectable stage I lung cancer. Prospective assessment of medical co-morbidities may be an important initiative for future treatment planning of early stage lung cancer patients.

e21154 Background: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death and the most common non-acquired immune deficiency syndrome defining malignancy in people living with HIV (PLWH). Disparities in outcomes have been observed despite lung cancer mortality reportedly decreasing in the general population over the last decade due to lower rates of smoking and the advent of novel therapies. To better understand the current trend in lung cancer in PLWH, we explored demographic characteristics, comorbidities, and lung cancer pathology and molecular data in this population. Methods: A retrospective search of patient charts was conducted from 2004 to January 2021 using billing codes for HIV and primary lung cancer. Patients who had incorrect HIV or primary lung cancer diagnoses were excluded. Results: The search yielded 45 patients, of which 11 were excluded as described above: 66% were males, 82% African American, and 18% Caucasian. About two-thirds of patients were living in zip codes with predominantly low to medium household incomes. The median pack years of patients diagnosed with Stage I or II non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was 40, Stage III or IV NSCLC was 20, early stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) was 30, and late stage SCLC was 60. The median time between HIV and lung cancer diagnoses was 21.7 years for Stage I or II NSCLC, 17.1 years for Stage III or IV NSCLC, 15.2 for early stage SCLC, and 13.3 for late stage SCLC. Of 26 patients with viral load (VL) data, 21 (80.7%) had VL less than 500 when lung cancer was diagnosed. Of the 33 charts with available pathology data, there were 16 adenocarcinomas, 6 squamous carcinomas, 3 adenosquamous carcinomas, 1 large cell neuroendocrine cancer, 4 SCLCs, 1 mesothelioma, and 2 unspecified NSCLCs. Of 19 patients with a histologic grade, 11 had a high-grade tumor (57.9%). For the NSCLCs, 8 were Stage I (28.5%), 2 Stage II (7.1%), 8 Stage III (28.5%), 9 Stage IV (32.1%), and 1 with an unspecified stage. One SCLC was early stage and the remaining 3 were late stage. Five patients had brain metastasis. Molecular data or PDL-1 expression was available for 10 adenocarcinomas (62.5%), 1 adenosquamous (33%), 3 squamous carcinomas (50%), and the large cell neuroendocrine cancer. An EGFR mutation was detected in 2 cancers. ALK rearrangement was found in 1. Other mutations were detected. Two cancers were in each PDL1 expression category: < 1%, 1-50%, and > 50%. Conclusions: Our study suggests that PLWH with lung cancer continue to have high rates of smoking. Viral load was well controlled. A range in stages of lung cancer was observed including earlier stages. Although molecular data was limited, available EGFR and ALK gene alterations, and PD-L1 expression prevalence were on par with that of the general population. With advancements in lung cancer treatment, additional research is needed in the PLWH population to better understand and mitigate disparities.

The peak oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) serves as a prognostic factor in cardio-respiratory diseases and plays an important role in cancer patients. The long-term prognostic relevance of VO2 peak in lung cancer patients has not been investigated extensively. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the preoperative VO2 peak on the postoperative long-term survival in patients with operated lung cancer. Retrospective analysis of 342 patients with curatively resected non-small-cell lung cancer using a multivariate Cox proportional hazard model. Results: Preoperative VO2 peak ranged from 10.2 to 51.8 mL/kg/min (mean: 18.3 ± 4.6), VO2 peak % of predicted ranged from 32 to 172% (mean: 65.2 ± 18.0%). Overall 10-year survival was 23%. A Log-rank test comparing predicted VO2 peak ≥ 60% with predicted VO2 peak < 60% showed overall survival of 30% and 17%, respectively (p < 0.001) and non-tumour-related survival of 71% and 51% (p = 0.001) at 10 years. In multivariable Cox analysis, overall 10-year survival correlated with a high predicted VO2 peak% (p = 0.001) and low N-stage corresponding to N0 and N1 (p < 0.001). Non-tumour-related death correlated with low VO2 peak% of predicted (p = 0.001), and age (p < 0.001). Low preoperative VO2 peak was associated with both decreased postoperative overall survival and decreased non-tumour-related survival during the 10-year follow-up.
