7523 Background: Patients with stage IV adenocarcinoma whose tumors harbor EGFR mutations have high rates of response (∼ 75%) and prolonged progression free survival after EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment. Adjuvant cisplatin-based chemotherapy improves disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with resected stages IB-IIIA NSCLC. To see if adjuvant treatment with EGFR TKI (gefitinib or erlotinib) improves DFS in patients with EGFR mutation NSCLC, we conducted a retrospective review of patients with resected lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR mutations, some of whom received EGFR TKIs postoperatively. Methods: With Institutional Review Board approval, clinical information was obtained on all patients with stage I-III lung adenocarcinoma harboring EGFR exon 19 or 21 mutations that underwent resection at MSKCC between May 2002 and August 2008. Age, gender, type of surgery, histology, EGFR mutation status (exon 19 deletions and exon 21 L858R), stage, perioperative therapy and survival were recorded. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis were performed. Results: We studied 150 patients (112 women, 38 men) with completely resected stage I-III lung adenocarcinoma whose resection specimens contained EGFR activating mutations in exon 19 or 21. Median age was 69. Forty two patients (28%) received cytotoxic chemotherapy. Forty eight (32%) received either erlotinib (n=26) or gefitinib (n=22) postoperatively. The median time on TKI was 16 months. The median DFS was 43 months in the group that received a TKI vs. 31 months for those that did not. After controlling for stage, individuals who received adjuvant gefitinib or erlotinib had a better DFS (HR=0.38, 95%CI: 0.16–0.90) than the non-TKI group (p=0.03). The median overall survival has not been reached. Conclusions: These data indicate that the adjuvant use of either gefitinib or erlotinib improves DFS in patients with completely resected stage I -III lung adenocarcinomas with mutations in EGFR exons 19 and 21. These data justify a randomized trial in similar patients. [Table: see text]

Abstract Purpose:Intratumoral macrophages are reportedly involved in tumor progression in non-small cell lung cancer; however, little is known about the prognostic impact and function of alveolar macrophages (AMs). This study aims to investigate the prognostic impact of the number of peritumoral AMs in patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma.Methods:We investigated 514 patients with pathological stage I lung adenocarcinoma who underwent complete resection with lobectomy or pneumonectomy. The number of peritumoral AMs were counted, and patients were classified into two groups based on the number of peritumoral AMs. Using the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database of stage I lung adenocarcinoma, we compared gene expression profiles of high and low peritumoral AM contents.Results:The median number of peritumoral AMs per alveolar space was 15.5. Patients with a high peritumoral AM content had significantly shorter disease-free survival and overall survival than patients with a low peritumoral AM content (both p < 0.01). In the multivariate analyses, a higher number of peritumoral AMs was an independent prognostic factor (p = 0.02). The analysis of TCGA database revealed that patients with a high peritumoral AM content had shorter disease-free survival than those with a low peritumoral AM content (p = 0.04). Gene expression analysis of TCGA stage I lung adenocarcinoma revealed enrichment of biological processes, such as chemotaxis and epithelial proliferation, in patients with a high peritumoral AM content.Conclusion:The number of peritumoral AMs had a strong impact on disease-free survival in patients with stage I lung adenocarcinoma.

Background: The ratio of hemoglobin to red cell distribution width (HRR) has been described as an effective prognostic factor in several types of cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role of preoperative HRR in resected-lung-adenocarcinoma patients. Methods: We enrolled 342 consecutive patients. Age, sex, surgical resection, adjuvant treatments, pathological stage, preoperative hemoglobin, red cell distribution width, and their ratio were recorded for each patient. Results: Mean age was 66 years (SD: 9.0). There were 163 females (47.1%); 169 patients (49.4%) had tumors at stage I, 71 (20.8%) at stage II, and 102 (29.8%) at stage III. In total, 318 patients (93.0%) underwent lobectomy, and 24 (7.0%) pneumonectomy. Disease-free survival multivariable analysis disclosed an increased hazard ratio (HR) of relapse for preoperative HRR lower than 1.01 (HR = 2.20, 95%CI: (1.30–3.72), p = 0.004), as well as for N1 single-node (HR = 2.55, 95%CI: (1.33–4.90), p = 0.005) and multiple-level lymph node involvement compared to N0 for both N1 (HR = 9.16, 95%CI:(3.65–23.0), p < 0.001) and N2 (HR = 10.5, 95%CI:(3.44–32.2, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Pre-operative HRR is an effective prognostic factor of disease-free survival in resected-lung-adenocarcinoma patients, together with the level of pathologic node involvement.

<b><i>Objective:</i></b> The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes and the factors related to patient prognosis. <b><i>Materials and Methods:</i></b> We retrospectively analyzed patients treated at the Department of Gynecology, Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center, between January 1, 1968, and December 12, 2018. <b><i>Results:</i></b> A total of 107 patients were identified. Of all patients, 79 (73.8%) presented with stage I disease, 14 (13.1%) stage II, 13 (12.2%) stage III, and 1 (0.9%) stage IV. All patients received surgery, with 70 (65.4%) undergoing fertility-sparing surgery (FS) and 37 (34.6%) nonfertility-sparing surgery (NFS). Ninety patients received postoperative chemotherapy. Nine of the 43 cases with a lymphadenectomy had metastasis (20.9%). The median follow-up time was 132 months (range, 1–536 months). The overall 5-year and 10-year survival was 95.1% and 91.7%, respectively. The 10-year survival rate for stage I and II–IV patients was 96.1% and 79.1%, respectively (<i>p</i> = 0.008). For the patients undergoing FS and NFS, the 10-year disease-free survival rate was 82.3% and 88.0%, respectively (<i>p</i> = 0.403). The 10-year disease-free survival rate for patients with or without lymphadenectomy was 95.1% and 78.4%, respectively (<i>p</i> = 0.040), and it was 92.5% and 76.0%, respectively (<i>p</i> = 0.041), for those with or without omentectomy. Fifteen patients relapsed, and 4 of them (26.7%) had recurrence in the lymph nodes. Eleven of the 15 relapsed patients (73.3%) had been successfully salvaged. <b><i>Limitations:</i></b> As a study of a rare disease, our analysis was limited by its small sample size and the deemed disadvantage of a retrospective study. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Excellent treatment results can be achieved in dysgerminoma patients who received proper treatment. Lymphadenectomy may improve patient survival. Relapsed patients can also be successfully salvaged.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Conflicting results have been reported about the prognostic value of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) protein and gene expression in lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS We performed a comprehensive online search to explore the association between PD-L1 expression (protein and messenger RNA) and overall survival (OS) or disease-free survival. Outcomes also included pooled rates of high PD-L1 protein expression in different cell types, per threshold used and per antibody used. A pooled gene expression analysis was also performed on 3 transcriptomic data sets that were obtained from The Cancer Genome Atlas database and the Gene Expression Omnibus database. RESULTS A total of 6488 patients from 25 studies were included. The pooled results suggested that high PD-L1 expression was associated with shorter OS [hazard ratio (HR) 1.57; P &lt; 0.001] and disease-free survival (HR 1.341; P = 0.037) in the overall population. The overall pooled rate of high PD-L1 protein expression was 29% (95% confidence interval 23–34%) in tumour cells. In subgroup analysis, high PD-L1 protein expression in tumour cells predicted worse OS and disease-free survival. A pooled analysis of The Cancer Genome Atlas and Gene Expression Omnibus data sets revealed that higher levels of PD-L1 messenger RNA predicted poorer OS in the entire population. CONCLUSIONS This study is, to our knowledge, the largest pooled analysis on the subject to shed light on the high expression rate of PD-L1 and the prognostic value of high PD-L1 expression in resected lung adenocarcinomas. PD-L1 gene expression is a promising prognostic factor for patients with surgically resected lung adenocarcinoma. Standardization of staining should be underscored prior to routine implementation.

Red Blood Cell Distribution

Background: Red blood cell distribution width is a measure of the variation of erythrocyte volume and has recently been advocated as a prognostic tool in neoplastic and non-neoplastic diseases. We studied the prognostic role of preoperative red blood cell distribution width (RDW) in resected pN1 lung adenocarcinoma patients. Methods: Sixty-seven consecutive pN1 lung adenocarcinoma patients operated in the last two years were retrospectively evaluated in the present study. Age, sex, smoking status, type of surgical resection, neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatments, pathological stage, T and N status, tumor size, preoperative hemoglobin (Hb) and RDW, preoperative neutrophils, lymphocytes, and their ratio were collected for each patient. Outpatient follow-up was performed and date of relapse was recorded. Results: There were 24 females (35.8%). Twenty-eight patients (41.8%) belonged to stage 3A and thirty-nine patients (58.2%) to stage 2B. Mean preoperative RDW % was 14.1 (IQR: 12.9–14.8). Univariate analysis disclosed preoperative RDW as strictly related to disease-free survival (p = 0.02), which was confirmed in the exploratory multivariable analysis (p = 0.003). Conclusions: Pre-operative RDW is an effective prognostic factor of disease-free survival in resected pN1 lung adenocarcinoma; it could therefore be considered as a further tool for planning postoperative adjuvant treatments and setting up an adequate follow-up program.
