e20530 Background: SMLPs are detected more commonly due to advancements in screening technology. Their workup and classification; however, are still lacking a clear standard. T stage of the largest lesion has been used as the major prognostic marker. This; however, does not take the number of SMLPs and their genomic drivers into consideration. This study aims to identify and review common risk factors associated with SMLPs and determine whether the number of primaries influence the prognosis. Methods: A systematic review of the literature published between 2000 and 2021 was conducted through PubMed and Medline by using the combination of keywords, including: “synchronous multiple primary lung cancer”, “simultaneous multifocal lung cancer”, “synchronous solitary lung metastasis”, “risk factor” and “prognosis”. A total of fifty studies were identified, among them only sixteen retrospective research articles and two review articles were relevant to the study at hand. Results: Sixteen retrospective studies including a total of 1685 eligible patients were reviewed. Thirteen of these studies reported the main histology type to be adenocarcinoma with a ratio ranging from 35% to 96.8%. Eight studies have reported the numbers of synchronous primary lung cancers, including one study found 11 SMLPs. Among these, one study by van Rens found number of SMLPs impact prognosis adversely compared to a single lung cancer. However, three other studies demonstrated multiple SMPLs do not adversely affect survival (Finley et al, 2010; Kocaturk et al, 2011; Li et al, 2020). Four of the sixteen studies analysed the effect of multiple lobes involvement and distance between tumors, with varying conclusions; two studies reported no difference in prognosis while one study revealed worse survival with multiple lobe involvement and one study found favorable outcome. Most studies confirm the usual prognostic factors for SMLPs, including: gender, smoking, type of surgery, comorbidities and adjuvant therapy. The median 5 year OS reported for SMLPs is 66%, with a wide range from 19% to 95.8%.The 3 year OS is 75% in most studies. Conclusions: The data on how the number of SMLPs affects the prognosis is uncertain. The current recommendation to base the decision for adjuvant therapy on the highest T stage is not supported by prospective evidence or consistent among published case series. Considering the recent approval of targeted therapies in early stage lung cancers, a better prognostic scoring system for SMLPs is required.

: KRAS is the most common oncogene to be mutated in lung cancer, and therapeutics directly targeting KRAS have proven to be challenging. The mutations of KRAS are associated with poor prognosis, and resistance to both adjuvant therapy and targeted EGFR TKI. EGFR TKIs provide significant clinical benefit for patients whose tumors bear EGFR mutations. However, tumors with KRAS mutations rarely respond to the EGFR TKI therapy. Thus, combination therapy is essential for the treatment of lung cancers with KRAS mutations. EGFR TKI combined with inhibitors of MAPKs, PI3K/mTOR, HDAC, Wee1, PARP, CDK and Hsp90, even miRNAs and immunotherapy, were reviewed. Although the effects of the combination vary, the combined therapeutics are one of the best options at present to treat KRAS mutant lung cancer.

ObjectiveThe incidence of early stage multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC) has been increasing in recent years, while the ideal strategy for its diagnosis and treatment remains controversial. The present study conducted genomic analysis to identify a new molecular classification method for accurately predicting the diagnosis and therapy for patients with early stage MPLC.MethodsA total of 240 tissue samples from 203 patients with multiple-non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLCs) (n = 30), early stage single-NSCLC (Group A, n = 94), and advanced-stage NSCLC (Group B, n = 79) were subjected to targeted multigene panel sequencing.ResultsThirty patients for whom next-generation sequencing was performed on >1 tumor were identified, yielding 45 tumor pairs. The frequencies of EGFR, TP53, RBM10, ERBB2, and CDKN2A mutations exhibited significant differences between early and advanced-stage NSCLCs. The prevalence of the EGFR L858R mutation in early stage NSCLC was remarkably higher than that in advanced-stage NSCLC (P = 0.047). The molecular method classified tumor pairs into 26 definite MPLC tumors and four intrapulmonary metastasis (IM) tumors. A high rate of discordance in driver genetic alterations was found in the different tumor lesions of MPLC patients. The prospective Martini histologic prediction of MPLC was discordant with the molecular method for three patients (16.7%), particularly in the prediction of IM (91.7% discordant).ConclusionsComprehensive molecular evaluation allows the unambiguous delineation of clonal relationships among tumors. In comparison, the Martini and Melamed criteria have notable limitations in the recognition of IM. Our results support the adoption of a large panel to supplement histology for strongly discriminating NSCLC clonal relationships in clinical practice.

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.

Abstract Background As there is no consensus on the optimal surgery strategy for multiple primary lung cancer (MPLC), we conducted this study to address this issue by comparing the prognosis of MPLC patients underwent different surgical strategies including sublobar resection and the standard resection through a systemic review and meta-analysis. Methods Relevant literature was obtained from three databases including PubMed, Embase and Web of Science. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were set for the screening of articles to be selected for further conduction of systemic review and meta-analysis. The HRs of OS of the sublobar group compared with standard resection group were extracted directly or calculated indirectly from included researches. Results Ten researches published from 2000 to 2017 were included in this study, with 468 and 445 MPLC cases for the standard resection group and sublobar resection group respectively. The result suggested that OS of MPLC patients underwent sublobar resection (segmentectomy or wedge resection for at least one lesion) was comparable with those underwent standard resection approach (lobectomy or pneumonectomy for all lesions), with HR 1.07, 95% CI 0.67–1.71, p = 0.784. Further analysis found no difference in subgroups of synchronous and metachronous (from second metachronous lesion), different population region and dominant sex type. Conclusions This study may reveal that sublobar resection is acceptable for patients with MPLC at an early stage, because of the equivalent prognosis to the standard resection and better pulmonary function preservation. Further research is needed to validate these findings.
