Background: This study aims to identify the prognostic factors in Stage IIIA non-small cell lung cancer and to investigate whether there was a significant difference in terms of overall survival and disease-free survival among the subgroups belonging to this disease stage. Methods: Between January 2010 and December 2018, a total of 144 patients (125 males, 19 females; median age 60 years; range, 41 to 80 years) who were operated for non-small cell lung cancer in our clinic and whose pathological stage was reported as IIIA were retrospectively analyzed. Data including demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, histopathological diagnosis, the standardized uptake value of the mass on positron emission tomography-computed tomography, tumor diameter, type of surgery, lymph node metastasis status, visceral pleural invasion, and overall and disease-free survival rates were recorded. Results: The median survival was 39 (range, 27.8 to 46.1) months and the five-year overall survival rate was 28%. The mean tumor diameter was 4.3±2.7 cm. The median disease-free survival was 37 (range, 28.1 to 48.6) months and the five-year disease-free survival rate was 26.9%. In the multivariate analysis, overall survival and disease-free survival in T2N2M0 subgroup were significantly worse than the other subgroups. The other poor prognostic factors of survival were the standardized uptake value of the tumor, pneumonectomy, and histopathological subtypes other than squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma. Parietal pleural invasion was significantly associated with worse disease-free survival rates. Conclusion: Our results showed that there may be significant survival differences between subgroups created by tumor histopathology, lymph node invasion and the type of surgery in a heterogeneous lung cancer stage.

Purpose The zinc finger transcription factor early growth response gene 1 (EGR1) is underexpressed in non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) compared with normal lung. EGR1 expression has been linked to tumor suppression as a result of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis through regulation of tumor suppressor pathways including PTEN. For these reasons, we hypothesized that reduced levels of EGR1 would correlate with inferior outcome in patients with NSCLC. Patients and Methods Patients who underwent surgical resection for NSCLC had RNA extracted from tumor tissue and EGR1 gene expression was quantified by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The levels of EGR1 expression were examined in relationship to patient characteristics, histology, tumor stage, PTEN expression, and overall and disease-free survival. Results EGR1 expression strongly correlated with PTEN expression (P < .0001). No correlation of EGR1 with histology or stage was detected. Patients with high levels of EGR1 had better overall and disease-free survival compared with patients with low levels of EGR1 (P = .040 and P = .096, respectively). In a stratified log-rank test, low EGR1 expression was predictive of poor survival independent of tumor stage. Conclusion EGR1 gene expression predicts PTEN levels and survival after surgical resection of NSCLC. Consistent with its known tumor suppressor properties, lower levels of EGR1 are associated with poor outcome. Identification of patients with low EGR1 therefore may identify patients at high risk for disease recurrence and may also identify patients who have tumors resistant to therapy secondary to loss of pathways such as PTEN.
