ABSTRACT
This study aimed to explore the general characteristics and spectrum of hospitalized Chinese patients suffering from lung cancer with concomitant interstitial lung disease (LC-ILD). Furthermore, we compared their features before and after the period of immunotherapy for lung cancer. A retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics of hospitalized LC patients with definite pathological diagnoses was performed from 2014 to 2021. ILD was defined after the review of chest CT imaging. There were 13,085 hospitalized LC patients. Among them, 509 patients (3.89%) had 551 cases of ILD. There were variable underlying causes of ILD, including idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (360 patients), LC treatment-associated ILD (134 cases), and connective tissue disease-associated ILD (55 patients). Although most LC-ILD patients were suffering from adenocarcinoma (204/40.1%), SCLC patients were prone to concomitant ILD (10.8% of all SCLC cases), followed by SCC (9.6% of all SCC cases). All but 10 LC-ILD patients received anti-LC treatment; however, only 39 (10.8%) LC-IIP patients received anti-ILD treatment. There were more LC-ILD patients in the 2018-2021 group than in the 2014-2017 group (5.16% vs. 2.03%, p < 0.001). The underlying causes of ILD were significantly different between the 2018-2021 group and the 2014-2017 group (p < 0.001). After adjusting for the number of hospitalized patients having the same LC pathological pattern, SCLC was determined to be the most likely to be concomitant with ILD, followed by SCC. Most LC-ILD patients were scheduled for anti-LC therapy; however, treatments for concomitant IIP were usually ignored. LC treatment-associated ILD should receive more attention than before.
