Abstract
Several international registries, including 4 from Europe-Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, and the European Society of Thoracic Surgeons-are dedicated to addressing deficiencies in pulmonary metastasectomy research. The randomized PulMiCC and SABR-COMET trials provide contradictory outcomes and new randomized trials have been initiated. Europe's metastasectomy approach transitioned from open thoracotomy to video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, with 72% of surgeons favoring minimally invasive methods by 2023. European Society for Medical Oncology guidelines recommend surgery for completely resectable lesions and propose ablative approaches as supplementary or alternative treatments for inoperable cases due to frailty or unfavorable anatomy.

Optimum diagnostic pathway and pathologic confirmation rate of early stage lung cancer: Results from the VIOLET randomised controlled trial. Lung Cancer 2025; 199:108070. [PMID: 39761624 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2024.108070] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2024] [Revised: 12/17/2024] [Accepted: 12/19/2024] [Indexed: 02/02/2025]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Pathologic confirmation of lung cancer influences treatment selection for suspected early-stage lung cancer. High pre-treatment tissue confirmation rates are recommended. We sought to define management and outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for primary lung cancer in a UK multi-centre clinical trial. METHODS VIOLET compared minimally invasive video-assisted thoracic surgery versus open surgery for known or suspected lung cancer. Diagnostic patient pathways were identified and methods of tissue confirmation were documented. The outcome of inappropriate lobectomy for benign disease or inappropriate wedge resection for primary lung cancer was compared with respect to the pathologic diagnosis. FINDINGS From July 2015 to February 2019, 502 patients were randomised and underwent surgery; 262 (52%) had a pre-operative pathologic confirmed diagnosis of primary lung cancer, 205 did not have a pre-operative biopsy and 35 had a non-diagnostic pre-operative biopsy. Of the 240 participants without pre-operative pathologic confirmation of primary lung cancer, intraoperative biopsy and frozen section analysis was undertaken in 144 (60%). The remaining 96 underwent direct surgical resection without tissue confirmation (19% of the entire cohort). Confirmation of histologic diagnosis before surgery was less costly than diagnosis in the operating theatre. The inappropriate surgery rate was 3.6% (18/502 participants, 7 lobectomy for benign disease, 11 wedge resection for lung cancer). INTERPRETATION Low levels of inappropriate resection can be achieved at pre-operative tissue confirmation rates of 50% through a combination of intra-operative confirmatory biopsy and correct risk estimation of lung cancer. Practice needs to be monitored to ensure acceptable levels are consistently achieved.

Abstract
Background Sublobar resection for lung cancer is usually guided by cutoff values for consolidation size (maximal diameter of the solid tumor component) and consolidation-to-tumor ratio (CTR). The effects of these factors as continuous variables and the reason for established cutoffs are, to the knowledge of the authors, unexplored. Purpose To quantitatively assess the predictive value of CTR and consolidation size for cancer recurrence risk after sublobar resection in clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma. Materials and Methods This retrospective study reviewed sublobar resection for clinical stage IA lung adenocarcinoma performed between January 2010 and December 2019. A restricted cubic spline function verified linearity by estimating recurrence probabilities using CTR and consolidation size obtained on preoperative CT scans. Statistical analyses included a Cox proportional hazards model to identify risk factors for cancer recurrence and the Cochran-Armitage trend test for the association between CTR and consolidation size. Results Of 1032 enrolled patients (age, 63.9 years ± 9.9 [SD]; 464 male patients), 523 (50.7%) and 509 (49.3%) underwent wedge resection and segmentectomy, respectively. Among patients with a CTR between 1% and 50% (n = 201), 187 (93.0%) had a consolidation size of less than or equal to 10 mm (P < .001). There was a positive association between the risk of recurrence with CTR and consolidation size (r2 = 0.727; P < .001). The recurrence rate showed the greatest increase when CTR was greater than 50% or consolidation size was greater than 10 mm. Specifically, the recurrence rate increased from 2.1% (three of 146) at 26%-50% CTR to 8.3% (nine of 108) at 51%-75% CTR, and from 4.4% (eight of 183) for 6-10-mm consolidation size to 11.9% (23 of 194) for 11-15-mm consolidation size. The probability of recurrence exhibited linearity and increased with CTR and consolidation size. Conclusion Cancer recurrence risk after sublobar resection for stage IA adenocarcinoma consistently rises with CTR and consolidation size. Current guideline cutoffs for sublobar resection remain clinically relevant given observed recurrence rates. © RSNA, 2024 Supplemental material is available for this article.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both small-cell carcinoma (SCLC) and large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) of the lung are often clinically dealt with as being in the same category as neuroendocrine carcinoma, and their clinical differences have not been adequately assessed. METHODS The postoperative prognosis was retrospectively analyzed using the data of 196 patients who underwent resection for SCLC or LCNEC. RESULTS Of the patients included, 99 (50.5%) had SCLC and 97 (49.5%) had LCNEC. The median duration of follow-up was 39 months (interquartile range [IQR] 21-76) and 56 months (IQR 21-87) for SCLC and LCNEC, respectively. The estimated 5-year overall survival (OS) probabilities were 53.7% and 62.7% (p = 0.133) for patients with SCLC and LCNEC, respectively. In the SCLC group, a multivariate analysis showed that adjuvant chemotherapy (hazard ratio 0.54, 95% confidence interval 0.30-0.99, p = 0.04) was the only factor that was significantly associated with OS. In the LCNEC group, univariate analyses demonstrated that pathologic stage I (p = 0.01) was the only factor that was associated with better OS after surgery. CONCLUSIONS We found different clinical features in SCLC and LCNEC; in patients with SCLC, because OS could be expected to significantly improve with postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy, patients with resected SCLC of any pathologic stage should receive adjuvant chemotherapy. For patients with LCNEC, because pathologic stage I LCNEC is related to better prognosis than any other stages, a thorough clinical staging, including invasive staging, according to present guidelines should be performed to identify clinical stage I LCNEC with the highest certainty.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to assess 10-year follow-up outcomes after surgical resection in patients with stage IA invasive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on postoperative pathological diagnosis. METHODS Patients with stage IA invasive NSCLC who underwent resection between December 2008 and December 2013 were reviewed. Patients were categorized into the pure-ground glass opacity (pGGO), mixed-ground glass opacity (mGGO), and solid groups based on consolidation to tumor ratio (CTR). Postoperative survival and risk of recurrence and developing secondary primary lung cancer were analyzed in each group. RESULTS Among the 645 stage IA invasive NSCLC, the 10-year overall survival and recurrence-free survival rate was 79.38% and 77.44%, respectively. The 10-year overall survival for pGGO, mGGO, and solid group of patients was 95.08%, 86.21%, and 72.39%, respectively. The respective recurrence-free survival rate was 100%, 89.82%, and 65.83%. Multivariable Cox regression analysis associated tumor size and GGO components with recurrence and younger age, and tumors with GGO components were associated with longer overall survival. The cumulative incidence curve indicated no recurrence of GGO lung cancer ≥ 5 years postoperatively. Our cohort indicated that the number and stations of dissected lymph node did not influence long-term prognosis of IA invasive NSCLC. CONCLUSIONS Recurrence of invasive stage IA NSCLC with GGO was more prevalent in patients with tumor size >1 cm and CTR > 0.5, occurring within 5 years after surgery. This will provide important evidence for follow-up strategies in these patients.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer recurrence after curative-intent surgery remains a challenge despite advancements in treatment. We review postoperative surveillance strategies and their impact on overall survival, highlighting recommendations from clinical guidelines and controversies. Studies suggest no clear benefit from more intensive imaging, whereas computed tomography scans reveal promise in detecting recurrence. For early-stage disease, including ground-glass opacities and adenocarcinoma in situ or minimally invasive adenocarcinoma, less frequent surveillance may suffice owing to favorable prognosis. Liquid biopsy, especially circulating tumor deoxyribonucleic acid, holds potential for detecting minimal residual disease. Clinicopathologic factors and genomic profiles can also provide information about site-specific metastases. Machine learning may enable personalized surveillance plans on the basis of multi-omics data. Although precision medicine transforms non-small cell lung cancer treatment, optimizing surveillance strategies remains essential. Tailored surveillance strategies and emerging technologies may enhance early detection and improve patients' survival, necessitating further research for evidence-based protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sublobar resection for ground-glass opacity became a recommend surgery choice supported by the JCOG0804/JCOG0802/JCOG1211 results. Sublobar resection includes segmentectomy and wedge resection, wedge resection is suitable for non-invasive lesions, but in clinical practice, when pathologists are uncertain about the intraoperative frozen diagnosis of invasive lesions, difficulty in choosing the appropriate operation occurs. The purpose of this study was to analyze how to select invasive lesions with clinic-pathological characters. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 134 cases of pulmonary nodules diagnosed with minimally invasive adenocarcinoma by intraoperative freezing examination. The patients were divided into two groups according to intraoperative frozen results: the minimally invasive adenocarcinoma group and the at least minimally invasive adenocarcinoma group. A variety of clinical features were collected. Chi-square tests and multiple regression logistic analysis were used to screen out independent risk factors related to pathological upstage, and then ROC curves were established. In addition, an independent validation set included 1164 cases was collected. RESULTS Independent risk factors related to pathological upstage were CT value, maximum tumor diameter, and frozen result of AL-MIA. The AUC of diagnostic mode was 71.1% [95%CI: 60.8-81.3%]. The independent validation included 1164 patients, 417 (35.8%) patients had paraffin-based pathology of invasive adenocarcinoma. The AUC of diagnostic mode was 75.7% [95%CI: 72.9-78.4%]. CONCLUSIONS The intraoperative frozen diagnosis was AL-MIA, maximum tumor diameter larger than 15 mm and CT value is more than - 450Hu, highly suggesting that the lung GGO was invasive adenocarcinoma which represent a higher risk to recurrence. For these patients, sublobectomy would be insufficient, lobectomy or complementary treatment is encouraged.

Impact of intrapulmonary tumour location of non-small-cell lung cancer on surgical outcomes for segmentectomy. Eur J Cardiothorac Surg 2024; 65:ezae036. [PMID: 38310338 DOI: 10.1093/ejcts/ezae036] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 02/05/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVES While segmentectomy is considered a viable option for small peripheral non-small-cell lung cancer, its efficacy for central lesions remains uncertain. This study aimed to assess the oncological outcomes of segmentectomy for central lesions compared to peripheral ones. METHODS We retrospectively examined 338 clinical stage IA non-small-cell lung cancer patients who underwent thoracoscopic anatomical segmentectomy at our institution from January 2013 to December 2021. Patients were divided into 2 groups based on intrapulmonary tumour location: inner two-thirds (central group, n = 82) and outer one-third (peripheral group, n = 256). RESULTS The gender, body mass index, performance score, smoking, comorbidities and preoperative pulmonary function were similar in both groups. On computed tomography images, tumour diameter and consolidation-to-tumour ratio were comparable between the groups. The central group had significantly greater tumour-to-pleura distances [mm, 23 (18-27) vs 11 (8-14); P < 0.001], shorter margin distances [mm, 20 (15-20) vs 20 (20-20); P < 0.001] and larger resected lung volumes based on subsegment count [4 (3-6) vs 3 (3-5); P = 0.004] than the peripheral group. Surgery duration, bleeding, hospitalization or drainage period, mortality, readmission and pathological stage were equivalent between the groups. The central group showed significantly more postoperative pleural effusions (5% vs 1%; P = 0.03) than the peripheral group, with no adverse impact on postoperative pulmonary functions. During the follow-up period, local-only recurrence rates were 0% and 8% in the respective groups (Gray test P = 0.07), and total recurrence rates were 6% and 11% (Gray test P = 0.70), with no significant differences. Moreover, no significant inter-group difference in overall survival rates was observed (82% vs 93%; P = 0.15). CONCLUSIONS Segmentectomy may be a promising therapeutic option for early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer located in the inner two-thirds of the parenchyma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Findings from two recently published randomised controlled trials have shown favourable oncological results of segmentectomy for early-stage NSCLC < 2 cm. This has generated a growing interest in this procedure, which is however considered technically more challenging than lobectomy. The aim of the working group of the German Society for Thoracic Surgery (DGT) was to address, via an expert consensus project, topics concerning implementation of segmentectomy in lung cancer surgery. METHODS The assigned group of the DGT designed and conducted two electronic rounds of questions in all major thoracic and lung cancer centres in Germany. The steering group predefined a priori the threshold of consensus of 75% or greater. The results were discussed in an expert meeting, leading to a final Delphi poll for selected topics and questions. RESULTS Thirty-eight questions on segmentectomy for NSCLC were proposed in two rounds and voted on. After the final Delphi process, a consensus was reached for the following topics: non-inferiority of segmentectomy vs. lobectomy for tumours < 2 cm, segmentectomy as an alternative if lobectomy is functionally not feasible, use of intraoperative techniques for identification of intersegmental borders. No consensus could be reached for topics such as frozen section for intraoperative ascertainment of radicality, as also for the indication of a re-do lobectomy in case of an occult N1 lymph node status. CONCLUSION Our manuscript depicts the results of a Delphi process in 2020/2021 involving experts of the German Society for Thoracic Surgery on the implementation of segmentectomy in lung cancer patients. In general, a very high rate of consensus was documented for the majority of the topics concerning the indication and execution of lung segmentectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In solid-predominantly invasive lung adenocarcinoma (SPILAC), occult lymph node metastasis (OLNM) is pivotal for determining treatment strategies. This study seeks to develop and validate a fusion model combining radiomics and deep learning to predict OLNM preoperatively in SPILAC patients across multiple centers. METHODS In this study, 1325 cT1a-bN0M0 SPILAC patients from six hospitals were retrospectively analyzed and divided into pathological nodal positive (pN+) and negative (pN-) groups. Three predictive models for OLNM were developed: a radiomics model employing decision trees and support vector machines; a deep learning model using ResNet-18, ResNet-34, ResNet-50, DenseNet-121, and Swin Transformer, initialized randomly or pre-trained on large-scale medical data; and a fusion model integrating both approaches using addition and concatenation techniques. The model performance was evaluated by the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC). RESULTS All patients were assigned to four groups: training set (n = 470), internal validation set (n = 202), and independent test set 1 (n = 227) and 2 (n = 426). Among the 1325 patients, 478 (36%) had OLNM (pN+). The fusion model, combining radiomics with pre-trained ResNet-18 features via concatenation, outperformed others with an average AUC (aAUC) of 0.754 across validation and test sets, compared to aAUCs of 0.715 for the radiomics model and 0.676 for the deep learning model. CONCLUSION The radiomics-deep learning fusion model showed promising ability to generalize in predicting OLNM from CT scans, potentially aiding personalized treatment for SPILAC patients across multiple centers.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), T factor plays an important role in determining staging. The present study aimed to determine the validity of preoperative evaluation of clinical T (cT) factor by comparing radiological and pathological tumor sizes. METHODS Data for 1,799 patients with primary NSCLC who underwent curative surgery were investigated. The concordance between cT and pathological T (pT) factors was analyzed. Furthermore, we compared groups with an increase or decrease of ≥ 20% and groups with an increase or decrease of < 20% in the size change between preoperative radiological and pathological diameters. RESULTS The mean sizes of the radiological solid components and the pathological invasive tumors were 1.90 cm and 1.99 cm, respectively, correlation degree = 0.782. The group with increased pathological invasive tumor size (≥ 20%) compared with the radiologic solid component was significantly more likely female, consolidation tumor ratio (CTR) ≤ 0.5, and within cT1. Multivariate logistic analysis identified CTR < 1, cT ≤ T1, and adenocarcinoma as independent risk factors for increased pT factor. CONCLUSION The radiological invasive area of tumors with cT1, CTR < 1, or adenocarcinoma on preoperative CT may be underestimated compared with pathological invasive diameter.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES This study examined the trend of hazards for postoperative recurrence of lung cancer according to pathologic stages. METHODS We reviewed the records of 1987 patients who underwent resection for lung cancer between 2007 and 2012. Postoperative recurrence and development of second primary lung cancer were analyzed to evaluate the trend of hazard rate. RESULTS Recurrence-free survival (RFS) probabilities at 5 postoperative years in patients with stage I/II/III disease were 87.8%/54.7%,/33.4%, respectively. The hazard rate of RFS was consistently low (<0.005) for stage I patients for 5 years after surgery. The hazard rate of RFS for stage II patients showed a peak of 0.016 at 12.4 months after surgery, and that for stage III patients had a higher peak of 0.029 at 13.7 months after surgery, after which they showed a gradual decrease. The hazard rate for the development of second primary lung cancer exceeded that of recurrence of first primary lung cancer after 72 months postoperatively. CONCLUSIONS Short-interval postoperative surveillance might be unnecessary for stage I patients but should be considered in stage II/III patients. Screening of second primary lung cancer rather than surveillance of recurrence might be beneficial after more than 6 years postoperatively.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Whether segmentectomy could yield similar oncological outcomes with lobectomy for cT1a-bN0M0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in the deep lung parenchyma remained unclear. This study aimed to compare the long-term prognosis of segmentectomy and lobectomy for deep NSCLC. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively screened cT1a-bN0M0 NSCLC patients who underwent segmentectomy or lobectomy between 2012 and 2019. The 3D multiplanar reconstruction software was used to determine the tumor location. Log-rank test, Cox hazard proportional regression, and propensity score matching analyses were adopted for prognostic evaluation. RESULTS In total, 321 patients with segmentectomy and 239 subjects undergoing lobectomy with a median follow-up time of 48.2 months remained. All the patients had a R0 resection, and no 30-day or 90-day mortality was observed. The 5-year overall survival and disease-free survival were 99.0% and 96.6% for patients undergoing segmentectomy. No significant survival differences existed between segmentectomy and lobectomy after adjusting other factors (disease-free survival, DFS: HR = 1.20, 95%CI: 0.49-2.99, P = 0.688; overall survival, OS: HR = 1.09, 95%CI: 0.30-3.95, P = 0.892). After propensity score matching, patients with segmentectomy (n = 128) had a similar OS (P = 0.870) and DFS (P = 0.900) with those receiving lobectomy (n = 128). To further evaluate the outcomes of segmentectomy for deep lung cancer, 557 peripheral lung cancer patients who underwent segmentectomy at the same period were taken as the reference. As expected, segmentectomy for deep lesions achieved equivalent OS (P = 0.610) and DFS (P = 0.580) with the peripheral lesions. CONCLUSIONS Segmentectomy could achieve comparable long-term outcomes with lobectomy for deep cT1a-bN0M0 NSCLC with careful preoperative design and 3D navigation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Segmentectomy has been recommended for peripheral small-sized non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to evaluate whether three dimensionally (3D) guided cone-shaped segmentectomy can achieve long-term outcomes comparable with lobectomy for small-sized NSCLC in the middle third of the lung parenchyma. METHODS This study retrospectively screened patients with small NSCLC (≤2 cm) who underwent segmentectomy or lobectomy between January 2012 and June 2019. Tumor location was determined by 3D multiplanar reconstruction. The cone-shaped segmentectomy was performed with the guidance of 3D computed tomographic bronchography and angiography. The log-rank test, Cox hazard proportional regression, and propensity score-matching analyses were adopted for prognostic evaluation. RESULTS After screening, 278 patients with segmentectomy and 174 subjects undergoing lobectomy were selected. All the patients had R0 resection, and no 30- or 90-day mortality was observed. The median follow-up time was 47.3 months. The 5-year overall survival (OS) was 99.6 %, and the disease-free survival (DFS) was 97.5 % for the patients undergoing segmentectomy. After propensity score-matching, the patients with segmentectomy (n = 112) had an OS (P = 0.530) and a DFS (P = 0.390) similar to those of the patients who underwent lobectomy (n = 112). The multivariable Cox regression analysis indicated no significant survival differences between segmentectomy and lobectomy [DFS: hazard ratio, 0.56 (95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.16-1.97, P = 0.369); OS: HR, 0.35 (95 % CI 0.06-2.06, P = 0.245)] after adjustment for other factors. Further analysis showed that segmentectomy achieved comparable OS (P = 0.540) and DFS (P = 0.930) for NSCLC in the middle-third and peripheral lung parenchyma (n = 454). CONCLUSIONS For selected NSCLCs size 2 cm or smaller in the middle third of the lung field, 3D-guided cone-shaped segmentectomy was able to achieve long-term outcomes comparable with lobectomy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Segmentectomy is a good surgical option for peripheral, early, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) ≤2 cm. However, the role of sublobar resection including wedge resection and segmentectomy remains unclear for octogenarians with >2-cm but ≤4-cm early-stage NSCLC, for which lobectomy is a standard treatment. METHODS By use of a prospective registry, 892 patients aged ≥80 years with operable lung cancer were enrolled at 82 institutions. Of these, we analyzed the clinicopathologic findings and surgical outcomes of 419 patients with NSCLC tumors of 2 to 4 cm during a median follow-up of 50.9 months between April 2015 and December 2016. RESULTS Five-year overall survival (OS) was slightly but not significantly worse after sublobar resection than after lobectomy in the entire cohort (54.7% [95% CI, 43.2%-93.0%] vs 66.8% [95% CI, 60.8%-72.1%]; P = .09). Multivariable Cox regression analysis of OS revealed that these surgical procedures were not independent prognostic predictors (hazard ratio, 0.8 [0.5-1.1]; P = .16). The 5-year OS was comparable between 192 patients who could tolerate lobectomy but were treated by sublobar resection or lobectomy (67.5% [95% CI, 48.8%-80.6%] vs 71.5% [95% CI, 62.9%-78.4%]; P = .79). Recurrence after sublobar resection and lobectomy was locoregional in 11 (11%) of 97 and in 23 (7%) of 322 patients, respectively. CONCLUSIONS OS might be equivalent between sublobar resection with a secure surgical margin and lobectomy for selected patients aged ≥80 years with peripheral early-stage NSCLC tumors of 2 to 4 cm who can tolerate lobectomy.

Real-World Results of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for 399 Medically Operable Patients with Stage I Histology-Proven Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4382.

Abstract
Surgery is the standard treatment for stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, no clear randomized trial demonstrates its superiority to stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) regarding survival. We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the treatment outcomes of SBRT in operable patients with stage I NSCLC using a large Japanese multi-institutional database to show real-world outcome. Exactly 399 patients (median age 75 years; 262 males and 137 females) with stage I (IA 292, IB 107) histologically proven NSCLC (adenocarcinoma 267, squamous cell carcinoma 96, others 36) treated at 20 institutions were reviewed. SBRT was prescribed at a total dose of 48-70 Gy in 4-10 fractions. The median follow-up period was 38 months. Local progression-free survival rates were 84.2% in all patients and 86.1% in the T1, 78.6% in T2, 89.2% in adenocarcinoma, and 70.5% in squamous cell subgroups. Overall 3-year survival rates were 77.0% in all patients: 90.7% in females, 69.6% in males, and 41.2% in patients with pulmonary interstitial changes. Fatal radiation pneumonitis was observed in two patients, all of whom had pulmonary interstitial changes. This real-world evidence will be useful in shared decision-making for optimal treatment, including SBRT for operable stage I NSCLC, particularly in older patients.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4281.

Abstract
In the last two decades, robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS) has gained popularity as a minimally invasive surgical (MIS) alternative to multi- and uniportal video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS). With this approach, the surgeon obviates the known drawbacks of conventional MIS, such as the reduced in-depth perception, hand-eye coordination, and freedom of motion of the instruments. Previous studies have shown that a robotic approach for operable lung cancer has treatment outcomes comparable to other MIS techniques such as multi-and uniportal VATS, but with less blood loss, a lower conversion rate to open surgery, better lymph node dissection rates, and improved ergonomics for the surgeon. The thoracic surgeon of the future is expected to perform more complex procedures. More patients will enter a multimodal treatment scheme making surgery more difficult due to severe inflammation. Furthermore, due to lung cancer screening programs, the number of patients presenting with operable smaller lung nodules in the periphery of the lung will increase. This, combined with the fact that segmentectomy is becoming an increasingly popular treatment for small peripheral lung lesions, indicates that the future thoracic surgeons need to have profound knowledge of segmental resections. New imaging techniques will help them to locate these lesions and to achieve a complete oncologic resection. Current robotic techniques exist to help the thoracic surgeon overcome these challenges. In this review, an update of the latest MIS approaches and nodule detection techniques will be given.

Abstract
Thanks to improved visualisation and instruments with an endowrist function, robot-assisted thoracic surgery has led to technical progress in thoracic surgery. This makes it easier to carry out complex thoracic surgical interventions, e.g. with an intrathoracic suture. As a result, this technology is increasingly being adopted and implemented in therapeutic use. Worldwide, the number of thoracotomies for lung cancer has decreased, while the number of minimally invasive surgical thoracic resections has increased. The aim of this work is to give an up-to-date overview of robotic operations on bronchial carcinoma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Among anatomical sublobar resection techniques for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the clinical benefit of subsegmentectomy remains unclear. We investigated whether anatomical sublobar resection including subsegmentectomy-segmental resection with subsegmental additional resection or subsegmental resection alone-is an effective and feasible surgical procedure for NSCLC. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed data of 285 patients with clinical stage I NSCLC who underwent anatomical sublobar resection at our institution from January 2013 to March 2021 and compared surgical outcomes between patients who underwent anatomical sublobar resection including (IS; n = 50) and excluding (ES; n = 235) subsegmentectomy. RESULTS No significant intergroup differences were noted in terms of age, sex, smoking, comorbidities, tumor size or location, consolidation tumor ratio, and preoperative pulmonary function. The IS group had more preoperative computed tomography-guided markings (34 vs. 15%; p = .004) and smaller resected lung volumes converted to the total subsegment number [3 (2-4) vs. 3 (3-6); p = .02] than the ES group. No significant differences in margin distance [mm, 20 (15-20) vs. 20 (20-20); p = .93], readmission rate (2% vs. 3%; p > .99), and intraoperative (8% vs. 7%; p = .77) or postoperative (8% vs. 10%; p = .80) complication rates were observed, and the 5-year local recurrence-free survival (91% vs. 90%; p = .92) or postoperative pulmonary function change were comparable between both groups. CONCLUSIONS Although further investigations are required, anatomical sublobar resection including subsegmentectomy for clinical stage I NSCLC could be an acceptable therapeutic option.

Abstract
Thoracoscopic segmentectomy might be an alternative to lobectomy for small size lung cancer. Precise identification of the pulmonary intersegmental plane was needed for an optimal segmentectomy. Recently, (1) the ultra-high-definition 4K systems had claimed to overcome the lack of depth perception by secondary visual cues; (2) the no-waiting procedure was induced as an alternative and optimized method for identifying the plane. It was unclear whether combined ultra-high-definition 4K endovision systems with "no-waiting" technique in thoracoscopic segmentectomy could achieve an excellent result. A 68-year-old female patient was admitted into our hospital for occasional pulmonary nodule during her routine physical examination. The nodule is located between S8 and S9 segment, and was suspected to be an early-stage lung cancer. She underwent a thoracoscopic S89 complex segmentectomy using ultra-high-definition 4K endovision systems and "no-waiting" surgical technique. The intersegmental plane was clearly detected and easily treated by the endoscopic linear cutting staplers. The patient recovered well and was discharged without complications. Combining ultra-high-definition 4K endovision systems with "no-waiting" technique seems to be an optimal thoracoscopic segmentectomy approach for the management of lung cancers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although segmentectomy is a widely used surgical procedure, lobectomy is the standard procedure for resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of segmentectomy for NSCLC up to 3 cm in size, including ground-glass opacity (GGO) and predominant GGO. METHODS A multicentre, single-arm, confirmatory phase 3 trial was conducted across 42 institutions (hospitals, university hospitals, and cancer centres) in Japan. Segmentectomy with hilar, interlobar, and intrapulmonary lymph node dissection was performed as protocol surgery for patients with a tumour diameter of up to 3 cm, including GGO and dominant GGO. Eligible patients were those aged 20-79 years with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance score of 0 or 1 and clinical stage IA tumour confirmed by thin-sliced CT. The primary endpoint was 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS). This study is registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network Clinical Trials (UMIN000011819), and is ongoing. FINDINGS A total of 396 patients were registered from Sept 20, 2013, to Nov 13, 2015, of whom 357 underwent segmentectomy. At a median follow-up of 5·4 years (IQR 5·0-6·0), the 5-year RFS was 98·0% (95% CI 95·9-99·1). This finding exceeded the 87% of the pre-set threshold 5-year RFS and the primary endpoint was met. Grade 3 or 4 early postoperative complications occurred in seven patients (2%), but no grade 5 treatment-related deaths occurred. INTERPRETATION Segmentectomy should be considered as part of standard treatment for patients with predominantly GGO NSCLC with a tumour size of 3 cm or less in diameter, including GGO even if it exceeds 2 cm.

J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2023; 165:853-861.e3. [PMID: 35760619 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2022.05.032] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2021] [Revised: 04/13/2022] [Accepted: 05/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/24/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Guidelines for treatment of non-small cell lung cancer identify patients with tumors ≤2 cm and pure carcinoma in situ histology as candidates for sublobar resection. Although the merits of lobectomy, sublobar resection, and lymphoid (LN) sampling, have been investigated in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer, evaluation of these modalities in patients with IS disease can provide meaningful clinical information. This study aims to compare these operations and their relationship with regional LN sampling in this population. METHODS The National Cancer Database was used to identify patients diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer clinical Tis N0 M0 with a tumor size ≤2 cm from 2004 to 2017. The χ2 tests were used to examine subgroup differences by type of surgery. Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard model were used to compare overall survival. RESULTS Of 707 patients, 56.7% (401 out of 707) underwent sublobar resection and 43.3% (306 out of 707) underwent lobectomy. There was no difference in 5-year overall survival in the sublobar resection group (85.1%) compared with the lobectomy group (88.9%; P = .341). Multivariable survival analyses showed no difference in overall survival (hazard ratio, 1.044; P = .885) in the treatment groups. LN sampling was performed in 50.9% of patients treated with sublobar resection. In this group, LN sampling was not associated with improved survival (84.9% vs 85.0%; P = .741). CONCLUSIONS We observed no difference in overall survival between sublobar resection and lobectomy in patients with cTis N0 M0 non-small cell lung cancer with tumors ≤2 cm. Sublobar resection may be an appropriate surgical option for this population. LN sampling was not associated with improved survival in patients treated with sublobar resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A randomized trial of lobectomy versus segmentectomy for small-sized (≤ 20 mm) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) showed that patients who had undergone segmentectomy had a significantly longer overall survival (OS) than those who had lobectomy. More attention is needed regarding the required extent of thoracic lymphadenectomy in patients with small-sized NSCLC who undergo sublobar resection. METHODS The National Cancer Database was queried for patients with clinically node-negative NSCLC ≤ 20 mm who had undergone sublobar resection between 2004 and 2017. OS of NSCLC patients by the number of lymph node dissections (LNDs) was analyzed using log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazards model. The cutoff value of the LNDs was set to 10 according to the Commission on Cancer's recommendation. RESULTS This study included 4379 segmentectomy and 23,138 wedge resection cases. The sequential improvement in the HRs by the number of LNDs was evident, and the HR was the lowest if the number of LNDs exceeded 10. Patients with ≤ 9 LNDs had a significantly shorter OS than those with ≥ 10 LNDs (hazard ratio [HR] 1.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.40-1.61, P < 0.0001). Multivariable analysis revealed that performing ≤ 9 LNDs was an independent factor for predicting OS (HR for death: 1.34, 95% CI 1.24-1.44, P < 0.0001). These results remained significant in subgroup analyses by the type of sublobar resection (segmentectomy, wedge resection). CONCLUSIONS Performing ≥ 10 LNDs has a prognostic role in patients with small-sized NSCLC even if the resection is sublobar.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of sublobar resection is increasing because of the rise in the detection of small lung cancers. However, local recurrence needs to be addressed, and several methods are needed for the resection with secure margins of non-visible and non-palpable tumors. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the use of a radiofrequency identification (RFID) system in sublobar resection of adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) at our institute. RESULTS From June 2020 to June 2022, 39 patients underwent sublobar resection for AIS or MIA. The median age was 69 years (interquartile range, 64-76). Among the 39 patients, 24 were diagnosed with AIS and 15 with MIA. Segmentectomy, subsegmentectomy, and wedge resection were performed in nine, six, and 24 patients, respectively. The median size of the target tumor was 9.0 mm (8.1-12.9) and the median distance between the tag and the tumor was 2.9 mm (0-7.5). The median pathological surgical margin was 15.0 mm (10-17.5). Complete resection of all lesions was performed with a secure surgical margin. The median follow-up duration was 6 months, during which no local recurrence was detected in any of the patients. CONCLUSIONS The RFID marking system accurately informed the surgeons of the tumor location and helped them to perform precise sublobar resection.

Abstract
Keeping a sufficient surgical margin free of tumor is important to prevent local recurrence in lung segmentectomy. Accurate identification of the intersegmental plane is essential to achieve adequate surgical margins. Traditionally, the inflation-deflation method was used to identify the intersegmental plane. However, in recent years, various intersegmental plane identification methods, including systemic indocyanine green injection, have been reported and shown to be useful. The purpose of this review was to evaluate the identification rates, advantages, and disadvantages of various intersegmental identification methods in lung segmentectomy. There are primarily six methods: inflation-deflation method, selective segmental inflation, endobronchial dye injection, virtual-assisted lung mapping, systemic indocyanine green injection, and pure oxygen method. These are broadly classified into those that use bronchi and pulmonary arteries anatomically and those that use air and dye technically. In this review, all methods showed relatively high identification rates. Moreover, high identification rates were expected, especially with systemic indocyanine green injection and the pure oxygen method. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages as varying situations entail different methods. It is necessary to select and apply them effectively; therefore, further improvement for each method will be required in the future.

Prognostic Significance of the Maximum Standardized Uptake Value on the Prognosis of Clinical Stage IA Lung Adenocarcinoma Based on the 8th Edition TNM Classification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are few reports on the utility of the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) for predicting the prognosis of early-stage lung adenocarcinoma based on the latest tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) classification. This study aimed to determine whether clinicopathologic factors, including the SUVmax, affect prognosis in these patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We enrolled 527 patients with c-stage IA lung adenocarcinoma who underwent lobectomy or greater resection between 2011 and 2017. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS) were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier curves and compared using the log-rank test. Factors associated with RFS and OS were determined using the Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS RFS was significantly different based on tumor stage. In contrast, there was no significant difference in OS between patients with stage IA2 and IA3 disease (p = 0.794), although there were significant differences in OS between patients with stage IA1 and IA2 disease (p = 0.024) and between patients with stage IA1 and IA3 disease (p = 0.012). Multivariate analysis demonstrated that SUVmax was independently associated with both RFS and OS among patients with c-stage IA lung adenocarcinoma (RFS, p = 0.017; OS, p = 0.047). Further, even though there was no significant difference in OS between patients with stage IA2 and IA3 disease (n = 410), SUVmax was able to stratify patients with high and low RFS and OS among these patients (RFS, p < 0.001; OS, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION SUVmax was an important preoperative factor to evaluate prognosis among patients with c-stage IA lung adenocarcinoma as well as the current TNM classification.

Abstract
Sublobar resections are commonly performed operations that have seen an increase in applicability. The sublobar approach, comprising segmentectomy and wedge resections, can provide lung preservation and thus is better tolerated in select patients in comparison to lobectomy. These operations are offered for a variety of benign and malignant lesions. Understanding the indications and technical aspects of these approaches is paramount as improvements in lung cancer screening protocols and the imaging modalities has led to an increase in the detection of early-stage cancer. In this article, we discuss the anatomy, indications, technical approaches, and outcomes for sublobar resection.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The importance of the stromal components in tumour progression has been discussed widely, but their prognostic role in small size tumours with lepidic components is not fully understood. Applying digital tissue image analysis to whole-slide imaging may enhance the accuracy and reproducibility of pathological assessment. This study aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of tumour components of lung adenocarcinoma by measuring the dimensions of the tumour consisting elements separately, using a machine learning algorithm. METHODS Between September 2002 and December 2016, 317 patients with surgically resected, pathological stage IA adenocarcinoma with lepidic components were analysed. We assessed the whole tumour area, including the lepidic components, and measured the epithelium, collagen, elastin areas and alveolar air space. We analysed the prognostic impact of each tumour component. RESULTS The dimensions of the epithelium and collagen areas were independent significant risk factors for recurrence-free survival (hazard ratio, 8.38; 95% confidence interval, 1.14-61.88; P = 0.037, and hazard ratio, 2.58; 95% confidence interval, 1.14-5.83; P = 0.022, respectively). According to the subgroup analysis when combining the epithelium and collagen areas as risk factors, patients with tumours consisting of both large epithelium and collagen areas showed significantly poor prognoses (P = 0.002). CONCLUSIONS We assessed tumour components using a machine learning algorithm to stratify the post-operative prognosis of surgically resected stage IA adenocarcinomas. This method might guide the selection of patients with a high risk of recurrence.

Abstract
With the increasing awareness of physical examination, the detection rate of pulmonary nodules is gradually increasing. For pulmonary nodules recommended for management by video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS), preoperative localization of the nodule is required if its location is difficult to determine intraoperatively by palpation. The computed tomography (CT)-guided preoperative localization technique is the most widely used method with low operational difficulty and high efficiency, which can include hook wire, microcoil, medical dye, medical surgical adhesive, combined application, and emerging localization techniques according to the material classification. Each method has its corresponding advantages and disadvantages, but there is still a lack of unified guidelines or standards for the selection of CT-guided preoperative localization methods in clinical practice. This review summarizes the operation precautions, advantages, and shortcomings of the above localization techniques in order to provide references for clinical application.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sublobectomy for early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a matter of debate. This study aimed to discuss the feasibility of sublobectomy in patients with pathological-stage IA1-2 confirmed as pathologically invasive but radiologically noninvasive adenocarcinoma. METHODS From 2011 to 2019, we screened clinical stage IA1-IA2 lung cancer patients who underwent surgery at the Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (GDPH). Inclusion criteria were maximum tumor diameter of 2.0 cm or less, consolidation tumor ratio (CTR) ≤ 0.25, and pathologically confirmed invasive adenocarcinoma. Sublobectomy (segmentectomy and wedge resection) and lobectomy groups were created, and propensity scores were computed. The primary endpoints were lung cancer-specific overall survival (LCSS) and LCS- relapse-free survival (LCS-RFS) after adjusting propensity scores. RESULTS A total of 1731 patients were screened, and 100 patients were enrolled. The lobectomy group had 51 patients and the limited resection group had 49. No cases relapsed, and two patients died from nontumor causes. For the entire cohort, the 5-year LCSS and 5-year LCS-RFS were 100% in the lobectomy and limited resection groups. When propensity scores matched, there were no differences in LCSS and LCS-RFS between the two groups (LCSS:100%, LCS-RFS 100% in lobectomy and limited resection, respectively). DISCUSSION Sublobectomy may be curative for pathologically invasive but radiologically noninvasive adenocarcinoma at pathological stage IA1-2.

Abstract
Consolidation tumor ratio (CTR) is a hot issue in lung cancer imaging studies in recent years. It is defined as the proportion of the maximum consolidation diameter divided by the maximum tumor diameter in the lung window scanned by high resolution computed tomography (HRCT). Many studies have also confirmed that it can be used as an indicator to identify whether a lung tumor is benign or malignant at the early stage, the main basis on which to decide whether sublobectomy can be performed, and is an independent factor for the recurrence and prognosis of early-stage lung cancer. Especially after tumor size and CTR results of JCOG0804 and JCOG0802 trials in Japan were published, a breakthrough in the treatment method upends the conventional surgical approach, which benefits patients with early-stage lung cancer. But insufficient research data on CTR leads to the fact that an evaluation system to measure CTR is yet to be built. This paper discusses the research progress in CTR prediction of benign or malignancy of pulmonary nodules, how to choose a surgical approach, lymph node dissection, spread through air spaces (STAS) and other hot issues. It also investigates the possible indicators to predict efficacy based on CTR, summarizes and analyzes the development trend of surgical methods to treat early-stage peripheral lung cancer and challenges, to provide new ideas for clinical application.

Development and validation of a prognostic nomogram for early stage non-small cell lung cancer: a study based on the SEER database and a Chinese cohort. BMC Cancer 2022; 22:980. [PMID: 36104656 PMCID: PMC9476583 DOI: 10.1186/s12885-022-10067-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 09/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Objective This study aimed to construct a nomogram to effectively predict the overall survival (OS) of patients with early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods For the training and internal validation cohorts, a total of 26,941 patients with stage I and II NSCLC were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. A nomogram was constructed based on the risk factors affecting prognosis using a Cox proportional hazards regression model. And 505 patients were recruited from Jiaxing First Hospital for external validation. The discrimination and calibration of the nomogram were evaluated by C-index and calibration curves. Results A Nomogram was created after identifying independent prognostic factors using univariate and multifactorial factor analysis. The C-index of this nomogram was 0.726 (95% CI, 0.718–0.735) and 0.721 (95% CI, 0.709–0.734) in the training cohort and the internal validation cohort, respectively, and 0.758 (95% CI, 0.691–0.825) in the external validation cohort, which indicates that the model has good discrimination. Calibration curves for 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS probabilities showed good agreement between predicted and actual survival. In addition, DCA analysis showed that the net benefit of the new model was significantly higher than that of the TNM staging system. Conclusion We developed and validated a survival prediction model for patients with non-small cell lung cancer in the early stages. This new nomogram is superior to the traditional TNM staging system and can guide clinicians to make the best clinical decisions.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to design a nomogram survival prediction by means of the figures retrieved from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) source bank, and to predict the overall survival (OS) of patients with stage IIA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgery. Methods Data for 4511 patients who had been diagnosed with postoperative stage IIA NSCLC were collected from the SEER databank, while information on 528 patients was acquired from the Chongqing University Cancer Hospital for the external validation cohort. The independent risk factors that affected the prognosis were identified using a multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression model (also used to conduct a nomogram). A survival analysis between the low- and the high-risk groups was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Furthermore, a subgroup analysis was conducted of the two groups using the Kaplan-Meier method to determine whether the patients had received adjuvant chemotherapy. Results The following five variables were integrated into the nomogram: sex (female: HR 1.73, 95% CI 0.64-0.83), age (≥60: HR 1.61, 95% CI 1.39-1.87), differentiation grade (grade II: HR 2.19, 95% CI 1.66-2.88; grade III: HR 2.65, 95% CI 2.00-3.51; grade IV: HR 3.17, 95% CI 1.99-5.03), surgery (lobectomy: HR 0.72, 95% CI 0.59-0.86), and lymph node resection (>12: HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.70-0.96). Furthermore, the patients selected were categorized into high- and low-risk groups. The OS rate was significantly lower in the high-risk group than in the low-risk group (P < 0.001). Finally, adjuvant chemotherapy was highly correlated with OS in the high-risk set (P = 0.035); however, adjuvant chemotherapy was not related to OS in the low-risk set. Conclusion A nomogram was created as a reliable, convenient scheme that could predict OS, and it was determined that the high-risk feature patients identified by the nomogram gained benefits from adjuvant chemotherapy.

Aggressive histological component in subsolid lung adenocarcinoma: priority for resection without delay. Jpn J Clin Oncol 2022; 52:1321-1326. [PMID: 35975671 DOI: 10.1093/jjco/hyac131] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/11/2022] [Accepted: 07/23/2022] [Indexed: 11/12/2022] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study explored the predictors of a histological aggressive component in ground glass opacity-containing lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS Of the 2388 patients who underwent resection for lung cancer at our institute between 2017 and 2020, we collected data on the 501 patients with ground glass opacity-containing adenocarcinoma with a total diameter of ≤2 cm. Using a historical cohort, we identified histological aggressive components that were related to a poor prognosis in early-stage adenocarcinoma. A multivariable analysis was conducted to identify predictors for the presence of a histological aggressive component. RESULTS Lymphovascular invasion and predominant micropapillary or solid patterns were identified as histological aggressive components by a prognostic analysis using a historical cohort. Of the 501 patients included, 36 (7.2%) had at least one histological aggressive component. A multivariate analysis showed that a consolidation/tumour ratio > 0.5 (P < 0.01), maximum standardized uptake value on positron emission tomography ≥1.5 (P = 0.01) and smoking index >20 pack-years (P = 0.01) were predictors of the presence of a histological aggressive component. A total of 98% of cases without any of the above factors did not have a histological aggressive component. CONCLUSIONS Approximately 7% of ground glass opacity-containing small adenocarcinomas contained histological aggressive component. A consolidation/tumour ratio > 0.5, maximum standardized uptake value ≥ 1.5 and smoking index >20 pack-years were predictors for such cases. These predictors may be useful for screening patients with a potentially high risk of a poor prognosis and for prioritizing resection without delay.

Abstract
Objective This study aimed to explore the value of micropapillary histological subtypes in predicting the specific surgical specificity and lymph node metastasis prognosis of early lung adenocarcinoma. Methods A total of 390 patients with lung adenocarcinoma were included who underwent surgery in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the Affiliated Provincial Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2016 to December 2017. The data were analysed with SPSS 26.0 statistical software, and the clinicopathological data of the two groups were compared with the chi-square test. The survival rate was calculated by the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference in survival rate between groups was analysed by the log-rank test. Multivariate survival analysis was performed using the Cox model. Results Univariate analysis of the clinicopathological data of the patients showed that the micropapillary histological subtype was significantly associated with the survival rate of patients (p=0.007). The clinicopathological data of the patients were substituted into the Cox model for multivariate analysis, and the results showed that the micropapillary histological subtype was an independent prognostic factor affecting the survival rate of the patients (p=0.009).The average survival time of Group A (micronipple composition > 5%) was 66.7 months; the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates were 98.8%, 93.0%, and 80.9%, respectively.The survival of the lobectomy group was better than that of the sublobectomy group and the survival of patients with systematic dissection was better than that of patients with limited lymph node dissection. The average survival time of Group B (micronipple composition ≤ 5%) was 70.5 months; the 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year survival rates were 99.3%, 95.4%, and 90.6%, respectively. There was no difference in the survival rate between the lobectomy group and sublobectomy group, and there was also no difference in survival between systematic lymph node dissection and limited lymph node dissection, The survival rate of Group B was significantly better than that of Group A. Conclusion The micropapillary histological component is an independent risk factor after surgery in patients with ≤2 cm lung adenocarcinoma. When the proportion of micropapillary components is different, the prognosis of patients is different when different surgical methods and lymph node dissections are performed. Lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection are recommended for patients with a micropapillary histological composition >5%; sublobar resection and limited lymph node dissection are recommended for patients with a micropapillary histological composition ≤5%.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to investigate better radiological prognostic factors in clinical T1 pure-solid non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). METHODS This study enrolled 284 patients with clinical T1 solid NSCLC who underwent anatomical lung resection. The Cox proportional hazard model was used to evaluate the prognostic impact of tumor volume doubling time (VDT) at disease-free survival (DFS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). RESULTS The median VDT was 347 days. Age (hazard ratio (HR) = 1.04; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.07) and standardized uptake value max (SUVmax) (>6.0) (HR = 2.61; 95% CI, 1.52-4.66) were identified as significantly independent worse prognostic factors for DFS in a multivariable analysis without VDT. Furthermore, a multivariable analysis without SUVmax identified age (HR = 1.06; 95% CI, 1.03-1.09), CEA (>5.0 ng/ml) (HR = 2.34; 95% CI, 1.30-4.02), tumor diameter on CT (>2.0 cm) (HR = 1.91; 95% CI, 1.18-3.13), and VDT (HR = 4.03; 95% CI, 2.41-6.93) as significantly independent worse prognostic factors for DFS. CONCLUSIONS The VDT value could be a useful prognostic factor in clinical T1 solid NSCLC.

Abstract
Background Surgery is the primary treatment option for Lung adenosquamous carcinoma (ASC) patients. However, no study compares the benefits of lobectomy and sublobar resection in ASC patients. Methods A total of 1379 patients in the Surveillance, epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database and 466 patients in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital (SPH) were enrolled. Survival benefits were evaluated after possible confounders were eliminated by propensity score matching (PSM). Results After 1:3 PSM, 463 SEER database patients and 244 SPH patients were enrolled. Lobectomy was associated with better overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) than sublobar resection for ASC patients (5-year OS of SEER: 46.9% vs. 33.3%, P =0.017; 5-year OS of SPH: 35.0% vs. 16.4%, P =0.002; 5-year DFS of SPH: 29.5% vs. 14.8%, P =0.002). Similar results were observed in stage I patients. Univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses showed that sublobar resection was an adverse prognostic factor independently (SEER: HR: 1.40, 95%CI: 1.08-1.81, P =0.012; SPH: HR: 1.73, 95%CI: 1.11-2.70, P =0.015). Subgroup analysis showed that all of the ASC patient subtypes tended to benefit more from lobectomy than sublobar resection. Conclusions Lobectomy remains the primary option for ASC patients compared to sublobar resection, including stage I.

Abstract
Lung cancer (LC) is the second most commonly diagnosed cancer and the primary cause of cancer death worldwide in 2020. LC treatment is associated with huge costs for patients and society; consequently, there is an increasing interest in the prevention, early detection with screening, and development of new treatments. Its surgical management accounts for at least 90% of the activity of thoracic surgery departments. Surgery is the treatment of choice for early-stage non-small cell LC. In this article, we discuss the state of the art of thoracic surgery for surgical management of LC. We start by describing the milestones of LC treatment, which are lobectomy and an adequate lymphadenectomy, and then we focus on the traditional and innovative minimally invasive surgical approaches available: video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and robotic-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (RATS). A brief overview of the innovation and future perspective in thoracic surgery will close this mini-review.

Background The safety and effectiveness of lung segmentectomy in patients with early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial. We have therefore reviewed the clinicopathologic characteristics and survival outcomes of patients treated with lobectomy or segmentectomy for early T (> 2 and ≤ 3 cm) N0M0 NSCLC. Methods We obtained data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database for patients who underwent lobectomy or segmentectomy between 2004 and 2015. To reduce bias and imbalances between the treatment groups, propensity score matching analysis was performed. We used Kaplan–Meier curves to estimate overall survival (OS) and lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS). We conducted univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analyses to identify independent prognostic factors for OS and cancer-specific survival, and applied the Cox proportional hazards model to create forest plots. Results Before matching, both univariate and multivariate Cox regression analyses revealed that patients who underwent lobectomy exhibited better OS (P < 0.001) and LCSS (P = 0.001) than patients who underwent segmentectomy. However, after matching, survival differences between the groups were not significant; OS (P = 0.434) and LCSS (P = 0.593). Regression analyses revealed that age and tumor grade were independent predictors of OS and LCSS (P < 0.05). Conclusions Patients with stage T (> 2 and ≤ 3 cm) N0M0 NSCLC undergoing segmentectomy can obtain OS and LCSS similar to those obtained with lobectomy. Further studies are required considering the solid component effects and pathologic tumor types regarding segmentectomies. Additional long-term survival and outcome analyses should be conducted with larger cohorts.

Interact Cardiovasc Thorac Surg 2022; 34:814-821.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The prognosis of segmentectomy and wedge resection for solid predominant early-stage non-small cell lung cancer with low metabolic activity is unclear. METHODS This study aimed to assess patients who underwent segmentectomy or wedge resection with curative intent for clinically node-negative non-small cell lung cancer presenting as a solid predominant tumour (consolidation tumour ratio >50%) with a whole size ≤3 cm and [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose accumulation weaker than that of the mediastinum tissue (Deauville score, 1 or 2) on positron emission tomography/computed tomography. The cumulative incidence of recurrence (CIR) was compared using the Gray method, and the predictive factor of CIR was analysed using the Fine and Gray method. RESULTS Of 140 patients included in this study, 93 (66.4%) underwent segmentectomy and 47 (33.6%) underwent wedge resection. No significant difference in the clinical stage was found between the 2 groups. The CIR was higher with wedge resection than with segmentectomy (P = 0.004). Recurrence after wedge resection was noted in 4 (8.5%) patients, 2 of whom had a recurrent site containing lung parenchyma of the preserved lobe and hilum lymph node, which would have been resected if segmentectomy had been performed. In the multivariable analysis for CIR using inverse probability of treatment weighting and the procedure, wedge resection was a significantly worse predictive factor (hazard ratio, 12.280; P = 0.025). CONCLUSIONS Segmentectomy rather than wedge resection should be considered for solid predominant, small-size non-small cell lung cancer even if [18F]-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose accumulation is low.

Lancet 2022; 399:1607-1617. [PMID: 35461558 DOI: 10.1016/s0140-6736(21)02333-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 799] [Impact Index Per Article: 266.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/06/2021] [Revised: 10/13/2021] [Accepted: 10/14/2021] [Indexed: 12/26/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lobectomy is the standard of care for early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The survival and clinical benefits of segmentectomy have not been investigated in a randomised trial setting. We aimed to investigate if segmentectomy was non-inferior to lobectomy in patients with small-sized peripheral NSCLC. METHODS We conducted this randomised, controlled, non-inferiority trial at 70 institutions in Japan. Patients with clinical stage IA NSCLC (tumour diameter ≤2 cm; consolidation-to-tumour ratio >0·5) were randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either lobectomy or segmentectomy. Randomisation was done via the minimisation method, with balancing for the institution, histological type, sex, age, and thin-section CT findings. Treatment allocation was not concealed from investigators and patients. The primary endpoint was overall survival for all randomly assigned patients. The secondary endpoints were postoperative respiratory function (6 months and 12 months), relapse-free survival, proportion of local relapse, adverse events, proportion of segmentectomy completion, duration of hospital stay, duration of chest tube placement, duration of surgery, amount of blood loss, and the number of automatic surgical staples used. Overall survival was analysed on an intention-to-treat basis with a non-inferiority margin of 1·54 for the upper limit of the 95% CI of the hazard ratio (HR) and estimated using a stratified Cox regression model. This study is registered with UMIN Clinical Trials Registry, UMIN000002317. FINDINGS Between Aug, 10, 2009, and Oct 21, 2014, 1106 patients (intention-to-treat population) were enrolled to receive lobectomy (n=554) or segmentectomy (n=552). Patient baseline clinicopathological factors were well balanced between the groups. In the segmentectomy group, 22 patients were switched to lobectomies and one patient received wide wedge resection. At a median follow-up of 7·3 years (range 0·0-10·9), the 5-year overall survival was 94·3% (92·1-96·0) for segmentectomy and 91·1% for lobectomy (95% CI 88·4-93·2); superiority and non-inferiority in overall survival were confirmed using a stratified Cox regression model (HR 0·663; 95% CI 0·474-0·927; one-sided p<0·0001 for non-inferiority; p=0·0082 for superiority). Improved overall survival was observed consistently across all predefined subgroups in the segmentectomy group. At 1 year follow-up, the significant difference in the reduction of median forced expiratory volume in 1 sec between the two groups was 3·5% (p<0·0001), which did not reach the predefined threshold for clinical significance of 10%. The 5-year relapse-free survival was 88·0% (95% CI 85·0-90·4) for segmentectomy and 87·9% (84·8-90·3) for lobectomy (HR 0·998; 95% CI 0·753-1·323; p=0·9889). The proportions of patients with local relapse were 10·5% for segmentectomy and 5·4% for lobectomy (p=0·0018). 52 (63%) of 83 patients and 27 (47%) of 58 patients died of other diseases after lobectomy and segmentectomy, respectively. No 30-day or 90-day mortality was observed. One or more postoperative complications of grade 2 or worse occurred at similar frequencies in both groups (142 [26%] patients who received lobectomy, 148 [27%] who received segmentectomy). INTERPRETATION To our knowledge, this study was the first phase 3 trial to show the benefits of segmentectomy versus lobectomy in overall survival of patients with small-peripheral NSCLC. The findings suggest that segmentectomy should be the standard surgical procedure for this population of patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of outcomes of lobectomy versus sublobar resection in elderly patients (≥65) with stage 1 nonsmall cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). METHODS We searched for relevant articles using a set of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analytic techniques were applied. RESULTS Twelve studies (n = 5834) were chosen. Our results indicate that in the elderly, lobectomy for stage 1 NSCLC confers a survival advantage over sublobar resection. Lobectomy patients had a lower risk of death within 5 years and lower odds of local cancer recurrence. Our results show that lobectomy had a better 5-year cancer-specific survival and 5-year disease-free survival that trended toward significance. The sublobar resection group showed better 30-day operative mortality that trended toward significance. Subgroup analysis of stage 1A cancer demonstrated no difference in 5-year overall survival rates. However, for stage 1B tumors 5-year overall survival favored lobectomy. CONCLUSION Lobectomy for stage 1 NSCLC in elderly patients is superior to sublobar resection in terms of survival and cancer recurrence and should be afforded where possible. For stage 1A tumors, sublobar resection is noninferior and may be considered. Further randomized controlled trials in this topic is required.

Preoperative Three-Dimensional Lung Simulation Before Thoracoscopic Anatomical Segmentectomy for Lung Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Front Surg 2022; 9:856293. [PMID: 35433806 PMCID: PMC9008247 DOI: 10.3389/fsurg.2022.856293] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/17/2022] [Accepted: 03/10/2022] [Indexed: 12/25/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Whether the utilization of preoperative three-dimensional (3D) lung simulation can improve the outcomes of segmentectomy for lung cancer (LC) is still controversial. Our meta-analysis was performed to compare preoperative 3D lung simulation with non-3D procedures in terms of perioperative outcomes. Methods Seven databases (Embase, Ovid Medline, ScienceDirect, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, and Scopus) were searched for eligible articles. Intraoperative outcomes (conversion, operative time, etc.), postoperative indicators (postoperative hospital stay, total number of complications, etc.) and postoperative complications were endpoints. Results After applying predefined inclusion criteria, we included 8 studies and 989 patients (3D group: 552 patients; non-3D group: 437 patients) in our meta-analysis. The results of the meta-analysis showed that preoperative 3D lung simulation could significantly decrease the blood loss (mean difference [MD]: -16.21 [-24.95 to -7.47]ml, p = 0.0003), operative time (MD: -13.03 [-25.56 to -0.50]ml, p = 0.04), conversion rate (conversion from segmentectomy to thoracotomy or lobectomy) (MD: 0.12 [0.03-0.48], p = 0.003), postoperative hospital stay (MD: -0.25 [-0.46 to 0.04]days, p = 0.02) and total number of complications (MD: 0.59 [0.43-0.82], p = 0.001) compared with non-3D procedures. The number of resected lymph nodes (LNs), postoperative drainage time, postoperative forced expiratory volume in the first second (postoperative FEV1) and postoperative drainage volume were similar in the two groups. Arrhythmia (5.30%), pulmonary air leakage (2.72%), atrial fibrillation (2.20%), pulmonary infection (2.04%), and pneumonia (1.73%) were the top 5 postoperative complications in the 3D group. Conclusions Preoperative 3D lung simulation was better than non-3D procedures in segmentectomy for LC, with better intraoperative and postoperative outcomes. However, our results should be confirmed in larger prospective randomized controlled trials. Systematic Review Registration PROSPERO, identifier: CRD42021275020.
