Background: Smoking cessation is a highly important preparation before thoracic surgery. We examined the effects of short-term smoking cessation intervention before pulmonary resection on postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs).

Methods: A retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data was performed for 753 patients who underwent curative surgical resection for thoracic malignancy at 3 institutions. Patients with a smoking history were instructed to quit smoking. After confirming smoking cessation by at least four weeks before surgery, surgical resection was performed. Subjects were classified into three groups based on their smoking status: abstainers (anyone who had stopped smoking for at least 4 weeks but less than 2 months), former smokers (anyone who had abstained from smoking for more than two months prior to surgery), and never smokers (those who had never smoked). We examined the relationship between the preoperative smoking status and PPCs.

Results: Surgery was performed for 660 primary lung cancers and 93 metastatic lung tumors. The smoking statuses were classified as follows: abstainers (n=105, 14%), former smokers (n=361; 48%) and never smokers (n=287, 38%). The incidence of PPCs among abstainers, former smokers and never smokers was 15%, 8% and 6%, respectively (P=0.01). The mean duration of post-operative chest tube drainage among abstainers, former smokers and never smokers was 3.2, 2.2 and 2.2 days, respectively (P=0.04). The mean post-operative hospital stay among abstainers, former smokers and never smokers was 12.1, 10.6 and 10.2 days, respectively (P=0.07). There was no 30-day mortality in the cohort.

Conclusions: Short-term smoking cessation intervention did not enough reduce the PPCs as much as in former or never smokers.

OBJECTIVES In the tumour, node and metastasis (TNM) classification (8th edition) of non-small-cell lung cancer, T (tumour size) is determined solely according to the size of the solid component determined using computed tomography (CT). However, it is unclear whether tumours of equal size but with differing solid and part-solid components should be similarly treated. Herein, we assessed the prognostic significance of the newly proposed T1 descriptors with respect to the size of the solid component. METHODS We analysed overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) between groups of patients (n = 255) with solid or part-solid tumours using propensity score matching. The new staging system was used for classification and comparison of survival. RESULTS Chest CT detected 7 non-solid tumours, 123 part-solid tumours and 125 solid tumours. The 5-year OS and DFS rates differed significantly between the solid tumour (OS 71.2%; DFS 65.4%) and part-solid tumour (OS 83.2%; DFS 78.2%) groups. However, among 81 propensity score matching pairs (including those matched according to the size of the solid component), OS and DFS did not significantly differ between groups. The 5-year OS rates according to disease stage were as follows: cIA1 88.0%; cIA2 79.4% and cIA3 67.6%. CONCLUSIONS Propensity score matching of solid tumour and part-solid tumour groups did not reveal a significant difference in survival as a function of the size of the solid component. A study of a larger cohort is required to validate this result.

Purpose: We evaluated the long-term outcomes of clinical stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema (CPFE) who underwent lobectomy. Methods: We reviewed the chest computed tomography (CT) findings and divided the patients into normal, fibrosis, emphysema and CPFE groups. We evaluated the relationships among the CT findings, the clinicopathological findings and postoperative survival. Results: The patients were classified into the following groups based on the preoperative chest CT findings: normal lung, n = 187; emphysema, n = 62; fibrosis, n = 8; and CPFE, n = 17. The patients with CPFE were significantly older, more likely to be men and smokers, had a higher KL-6 level and lower FEV 1.0% value and had a higher rate of squamous cell carcinoma. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival rates were as follows: normal group, 82.5 and 76.8%; emphysema group, 80.0 and 74.9%; fibrosis group, 46.9 and 50%; and CPFE group, 36.9 and 27.9%, respectively (p < 0.01). A univariate and multivariate analysis determined that the pathological stage and CT findings were associated with OS. Conclusions: CPFE is a significantly unfavorable prognostic factor after lobectomy, even in early-stage NSCLC patients with a preserved lung function.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of elderly patients 75 years of age or older with recurrent non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: A total of 1237 consecutive patients with NSCLC underwent pulmonary resection at our institution. Of these patients, 280 experienced postoperative recurrence. The rate of the post-recurrence survival and predictors were analyzed independently in a group of younger patients (<75 years) and a group of elderly patients (≥75 years). Results: There were 215 younger patients (<75 years) and 65 elderly (≥75 years) patients at the time of diagnosis of recurrence. The median post-recurrence survival time and the five-year survival rate of all cases were 25 months and 20.8 %, respectively. There were no significant survival differences between the younger and elderly groups (p = 0.20). A univariate analysis determined that gender, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, smoking status, histological type and epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status were factors influencing the post-recurrence survival among the elderly patients. In addition, a multivariate analysis determined the EGFR mutation status to be an independent prognostic factor for the post-recurrence survival. Conclusions: Elderly patients 75 years of age or older in this study achieved satisfactory long-term outcomes.

OBJECTIVES: There have been no previous reports examining how the travel distance affects the outcomes of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. In this study, we examined the influence of the distance from home to the hospital on patients with NSCLC who underwent surgical resection. METHODS: From 2006 to 2011, 607 consecutive patients with NSCLC who had undergone pulmonary resection were enrolled. The patients were divided into three groups according to the distance from their home to the hospital: 0 < 10, 10-30 and > 30 km. We analysed the short-term and long-term outcomes according to the group. RESULTS: Two hundred and ninety-six patients lived less than 10 km from the hospital, 111 patients lived 10-30 km and 200 patients lived more than 30 km. There were no differences in the demographics, including age, European Cooperative Oncology Group performance status, histological type, surgical procedure and pathological stage, between the three groups. The mean postoperative hospital stay was as follows: 13.9 days in the < 10 km group, 13.3 days in the 10-30 km group and 14.3 days in the > 30 km group (P = 0.04). There were no significant differences in the median length of follow-up (50, 47, 43 months, P = 0.24), disease-free survival (DFS) (5-year DFS, 68.1, 68.2 and 70.1%, P = 0.89) or overall survival (OS) (5-year OS, 80.6, 78.8 and 79.4%, P = 0.99) between the three groups. CONCLUSIONS: The distance between home and the hospital was not found to influence the long-term outcomes of the patients with surgically resected NSCLC. Therefore, the travel distance should not represent a contraindication to surgical resection and postoperative therapy for NSCLC.

Introduction: Tumor volume promises to be an important factor for predicting the prognosis of patients with non- small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods: A total of 255 patients who underwent curative surgical resection for clinical stage IA NSCLC were included. We performed semiautomated measurement of the whole tumor volume and the volume of the solid part (referred to as the solid part volume) from a volumetric analysis of chest three-dimensional computed tomography scans using the SYNAPSE VINCENT imaging software program (Fujifilm Medical, Tokyo, Japan). We evaluated the relationships among tumor size, tumor volume, and survival. Results: The mean whole tumor size, the ratio of the maximum diameter of consolidation to the maximum tumor diameter (CTR), the whole tumor volume, and the solid part volume were 20 mm (range 0-30 mm), 0.84 (range 0-1.0), 3080 mm³ (range 123-17509 mm³), and 2032 mm³ (0- 12466 mm³), respectively. The receiver operating characteristic area under the curve for the whole tumor size, CTR, whole tumor volume, and solid part volume used to identify recurrence were 0.60, 0.68, 0.58, and 0.69, respectively. A univariate analysis revealed that the whole tumor size, CTR, whole tumor volume, and solid part volume were associated with disease-free survival (DFS). A multivariate analysis of these factors identified the solid part volume to be the only independent factor for the prediction of DFS. Conclusions: The whole tumor volume and the solid part volume were associated with DFS. In particular, the solid part volume was a very useful factor for predicting prognosis in clinical stage IA NSCLC.

Although chemotherapy and radiotherapy are recommended for patients with limited disease small cell lung cancer (LD-SCLC), several series have reported favorable survival outcomes even in patients with stages II and III disease who underwent surgical resection. The purpose of this study is to compare the outcomes of the use of surgical resection to the other conventional non-surgical treatments in patients with LD-SCLC with respect to each clinical stage. Materials and methods: We retrospectively reviewed 277 patients who received treatment for LD-SCLC and compared the outcomes of the use of surgical resection to the other conventional non-surgical treatments. Results: The clinical stage was stage I in 50 cases (18%), stage II in 53 cases (19%) and stage III in 174 cases (63%). Eighty-eight patients received surgical resection and 189 patients were treated with non-surgical treatment. Surgery was performed in 44 patients (88%) with stage I, 27 patients (52%) with stage II and 17 patients (10%) with stage III disease. The five-year survival rates of the patients according to clinical stage were 58% in stage I, 29% in stage II and 18% in stage III. The five-year survival rates of the patients with and without surgical resection according to clinical stage were as follows: 62% and 25% in stage I (. p<. 0.01), 33% and 24% in stage II (. p=. 0.95), 18% and 18% in stage III (. p=. 0.35), respectively. In 44 propensity score-matched pairs with stages II and III disease, including matching for variables such as age, gender and the PS, the five-year survival rates was better in patients with surgical resection than in those without surgery (. p=. 0.04). Conclusion: Surgical resection is effective for the patients with stage I LD-SCLC and some cases of stage II or III disease.

OBJECTIVES: The impact of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) status and the use of EGFR-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) therapy have not been well discussed only in recurrent non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of this study was to identify the prognostic factors associated with post-recurrence survival after surgical resection of NSCLC in terms of the EGFR mutation status and the use of EGFR-TKI therapy. METHODS: From 2000 through 2011, 1237 consecutive patients with NSCLC underwent pulmonary resection at our institution. Of these patients, 280 experienced postoperative recurrence by the end of 2012. We reviewed the cases of recurrence and analysed the predictors and length of post-recurrence survival. RESULTS: The median post-recurrence survival time and the 5-year survival rate of all patients were 25 months and 20.8%, respectively. A multivariate analysis identified the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status (PS), brain metastasis, number of sites of recurrence and EGFR mutation status to be independent prognostic factors for post-recurrence survival. Among all cases, the median post-recurrence survival time according to the use of EGFR-TKI therapy was as follows: 49 months in the EGFR mutation-positive patients treated with EGFR-TKI therapy, 20 months in the EGFR wild or unknown cases treated with EGFR-TKI therapy and 17 months in the patients not treated with EGFR-TKI therapy. As to EGFR mutation-positive cases, the patients treated with EGFR-TKIs exhibited significantly longer post-recurrence survival time than the patients treated without EGFR-TKIs (49 vs 12 months). CONCLUSIONS: It is essential for recurrent NSCLC patients to be examined for the EGFR mutation status. Patients with a positive EGFR mutation status receive significant benefits from EGFR-TKI therapy.

Background A few reports have evaluated the outcomes of concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for patients with postoperative recurrence of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients and Methods From 2000 through 2011, 1237 consecutive patients with NSCLC underwent pulmonary resection at our institution. Of those, 280 patients had experienced postoperative recurrence by the end of 2012. Thirty-five patients received concurrent CRT as initial treatment of the recurrent disease. We retrospectively reviewed these cases, analyzed the outcomes of concurrent CRT after surgical resection, and examined the factors that predict long-term postrecurrence survival. Results The most common sites of recurrence in this cohort were the lymph nodes in 24 patients, followed by the lung in 5 patients and bone in 6 patients. The median radiation dose given as the initial treatment of recurrence was 60 Gy (range, 30-60 Gy). Chemotherapy included a platinum agent in all cases; cisplatin-based chemotherapy was administered in 23 cases, and a carboplatin-based chemotherapy regimen was administered in 12. The median progression-free and postrecurrence survival after CRT was 13 months (range, 4-127 months) and 31 months (range, 5-127 months), respectively. Seven patients were still alive without evidence of disease for > 3 years after the recurrence diagnosis. The ECOG performance status (PS), surgical procedure, and types of platinum agents used were independent prognostic factors for postrecurrence survival. Conclusion Concurrent CRT for recurrent NSCLC is a promising therapy for selected patients. A poor PS and postpneumonectomy state were poor prognostic factors for patients who received concurrent CRT.

Background: The T3 category of the 7th Edition of the TNM classification of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has added two factors that do not appear in the 6th Edition, large tumor size (>7 cm) and pulmonary metastasis of the same lobe. These factors are considered to have different biological and clinical features. In the present study we assessed the outcome of surgical resection as a first line therapy for T3 NSCLC. Methods: A total of 145 patients who were diagnosed according to the TNM 7th Edition with pathologic T3 NSCLC received surgical resection in our institution as a first line treatment. The outcomes of their treatment were analyzed. Results: The 5-year survival rate was 46.9 %. On the basis of the 6th TNM Edition, the 5-year survival rate was 63.1 % for patients diagnosed with T2 disease (large tumor size), 44.3 % for patients diagnosed with T3 disease, and 33.1 % for patients diagnosed with T4 disease (pulmonary metastasis of the same lobe). There were no significant correlations between these categories and overall survival (OS). Nevertheless, 6th Edition T factors were found to be significantly correlated with lymph node status (p < 0.01). The univariate analyses showed that age, lymph node metastasis, and curative resection had significant effects on OS. In addition, the multivariate analysis identified age and N factor as independent prognostic factors in this cohort. Conclusions: Indications for surgical resection as a first line therapy in T3 NSCLC should be based on N factors and patient age. Lymph node metastasis, especially N2 disease, was increasingly frequent in patients with 6th Edition T classifications.

Objectives The presence of cardiovascular comorbidity in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients increases with age. Therefore, the influence of cardiovascular comorbidity in NSCLC patients on their short-or long-term prognosis remains controversial. This study evaluated the possible risk factors related to the short-term and long-term survivals in NSCLC patients with cardiovascular comorbidity. Methods One thousand one hundred and sixty-two consecutive patients with NSCLC who had undergone a surgical resection between 1984 and 2010 were enrolled in this study. A total of 360 (31%) patients with cardiovascular comorbidities were analysed to identify the risk factors for postoperative complications and prognostic factors. Results The patients with cardiovascular comorbidity included 301 with hypertension, 28 with coronary artery disease, 35 with peripheral vascular disease, 23 with arrhythmia and 11 with abdominal aortic aneurysm. Eighty-three patients exhibited more than one type of comorbidity. The postoperative cardiovascular morbidity rates were 3.6% in the cardiovascular comorbidity patients and 3.3% among patients without cardiovascular comorbidity (P = 0.73). No correlation was observed between preoperative cardiovascular comorbidity and postoperative pulmonary complications (P = 0.52). The operative mortality rates were 1.0% for the cardiovascular comorbidity patients and 0.8% for the other patients (P = 0.51). No difference in the postoperative outcomes was observed between the patients with and without cardiovascular comorbidity. The 5-year survival rates were 62.5% in comparison with 65.4% among patients without cardiovascular comorbidity (P = 0.48). Conclusions Patients with cardiovascular comorbidity were not found to be at increased risk of mortality and morbidity following surgery for NSCLC. In addition, cardiovascular comorbidity did not influence the long-term outcomes of patients after a pulmonary resection for NSCLC.

Purpose We developed a method for predicting truenegative lymph node metastases in clinical IA non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) by the combined evaluation of computed tomography (CT), 2-[18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) findings and the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) of primary tumors. Methods The subjects of this study were 94 patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC who underwent both preoperative CT and FDG-PET. We analyzed the relationship between the SUVmax of primary tumors and various clinicopathological factors to find the best method available for assessing true-negative lymph node metastasis. Results The pathological stages were IA (n = 80), IB (n = 4), IIA (n = 5), IIIA (n = 4), and IV (n = 1). Pathologic lymph node metastasis was recognized in nine patients and the SUVmax of these tumors ranged from 3.3 to 20.3. A SUVmax of 3.0 was defined as the cut-off point and patients were dichotomized according to this point. Tumors with SUVmax of 3.0 or less were associated with a significantly lower incidence of pleural and vascular invasion and were characterized by the degree of differentiation. Conclusion The SUVmax of primary tumors reflects the grade of malignancy; therefore, the combined evaluation of FDG-PET/CT findings with the SUVmax of primary tumors may help predict lymph node metastasis negativity.

Background: Excision repair cross-complementation group 1 (ERCC1) is the lead enzyme in the nucleotide excision repair process. Two polymorphisms of ERCC1, T19007C (rs11615) and C8092A (rs3212986), have been reported to affect both the carcinogenesis and the survival of the patients who received platinum-based chemotherapy, but the mechanism by which these polymorphisms influence the survival is unclear. In this study, we determined the function of these ERCC1 polymorphisms in the survival of NSCLC patients. Method: The ERCC1 T19007C and C8092A single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were evaluated in 122 Japanese non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients who underwent a complete resection and analyzed the clinicopathological significance of these SNPs. None of the patients received peri-operative platinum-based chemotherapy. The relationship between these SNPs and ERCC1 protein expression and the platinum sensitivity of the primary tumors were also examined. Result: Regarding T19007C SNP, the distribution of the CC, CT, and TT genotypes was 45%, 48% and 7%, respectively. As for C8092A SNP, the distribution of CC and CA genotypes was 70% and 30%, respectively. The patients with C8092A CA genotype were significantly poorer disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) than those with the CC genotype (p = 0.037 and 0.004). In addition, no relationship was observed between T19007C SNP and DFS or OS. These two SNPs also did not correlate with either ERCC1 protein expression or platinum sensitivity. Conclusion: The ERCC1 C8092A polymorphism may influence the NSCLC prognosis regardless of the ERCC1 protein expression and platinum sensitivity.

Background: The 2-[¹⁸F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) has recently become an important non-invasive tool for the diagnosis and staging in several cancers. The standardized uptake value (SUV) of primary tumor has been reported to relate to cancer progression and prognosis, however, biological mechanism is still unclear. Method: Seventy-nine patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who had undergone preoperative FDG-PET and a surgical resection were enrolled in this study. NSCLC tissue samples prepared from the surgical specimens were subjected to an immunohistochemical analysis for the expression of Ki-67 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) proteins. The relationships between the expression status of these proteins and SUVmax of primary tumors were evaluated. Result: Concerning the relationship with various clinicopathological findings, SUVmax of primary tumors was associated with histology, tumor proliferation, pleural or vascular invasion, and pathological stage. A significant correlation was observed between the SUVmax and either the Ki-67 or VEGF expression (P<0.001, P=0.006), respectively. Cases with both Ki-67-negative and VEGF-negative findings exhibited a significantly lower SUVmax than those with single positive or double positive cases (P=0.006, P<0.001). Conclusion: The SUVmax was associated with the expression of Ki-67 and VEGF in NSCLC. These findings indicated that the SUVmax of primary tumors might therefore reflect the biological malignant potential in NSCLC.

DNA repair enzyme expression in tumor cells possibly affects sensitivity to anti-cancer agents. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between expression status of DNA repair enzymes and chemosensitivity in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC tissues prepared from the surgical specimens of 41 patients were subjected to immunohistochemical analysis for Rad51 and ERCC1 proteins and to a chemosensitivity test using the MTT assay. The relationships between the expression status of the DNA repair enzymes and ex vivo chemosensitivity to various agents were evaluated. A positive expression for Rad51 and ERCC1 was observed in 17 cases (41%) and 20 cases (49%), respectively. The positivity of Rad51 was closely related to a certain histologic type of squamous cell carcinoma and poor differentiation, and the positivity of ERCC1 tended to be related to squamous cell carcinoma. In chemosensitivity tests, sensitivities to CDDP and CBDCA were significantly lower when both 2 enzymes were positive (p = 0.012 and 0.04 in CDDP, 0.014 and 0.03 in CBDCA). Both Rad51 and ERCC1 expressions showed no significant relationship with sensitivities to paclitaxel, etoposide, vinorelbine, gemcitabine, 5-FU, or irinotecan. In conclusion, combined expression of Rad51 and ERCC1 expression is associated with resistance to platinum agents in the ex vivo study of clinical NSCLC, and evaluation of expression status of both DNA repair enzymes would be a predictor for clinical response to platinum-based chemotherapies.
