RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The newest Commission on Cancer (CoC) standards recommend sampling 3 mediastinal and 1 hilar lymph node station, 3(N2)1(N1), for lung cancer resections. However, the relationship between the CoC standards and outcomes has not been thoroughly investigated. METHODS: A prospective institutional database was queried for clinical stage I-III lung resections prior to the implementation of the new standards. The relationship between the 3(N2)1(N1) standard ("guideline concordant") and outcomes (upstaging, complications, receipt of adjuvant therapy, locoregional/distant recurrence, and survival) were assessed using multivariable models and stratified by stage. RESULTS: Of 9,289 pulmonary resections 3048 (33%) were guideline concordant and 6241 (67%) were not. Compared to non-concordant, those who were guideline-concordant had higher rates of nodal upstaging (21% vs 13%; OR 1.32 [95% CI 1.14-1.51] p<0.001) and in-hospital complications (34% vs 27%), (OR 1.17 [95% CI 1.05-1.30], p=0.004), but similar adjuvant systemic therapy administration (19% vs 13%; OR 1.09 [95% CI 0.95-1.24], p=0.2), (98% chemotherapy). Locoregional and distant recurrence were not significantly improved with guideline concordance across clinical stage I, II and III subsets. Overall survival was similar in clinical stages I and II but improved survival was observed among guideline concordant clinical stage III patients (HR 0.85 [95% CI 0.74-0.97], p=0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Sampling 3(N2)1(N1) was associated with increased upstaging and complications but not with decreased recurrence or mortality in clinical stage I or II patients. Survival was improved among concordant, clinical stage III patients. Further study is indicated to determine the ideal lymph node sampling strategy across heterogeneous lung cancer patients.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is characterized by rapid progression after platinum resistance. Circulating tumor (ctDNA) dynamics early in treatment may help determine platinum sensitivity. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Serial plasma samples were collected from patients receiving platinum-based chemotherapy for SCLC on the first 3 days of cycle one and on the first days of subsequent cycles with paired samples collected both before and again after infusions. Tumor-informed plasma analysis was carried out using CAncer Personalized Profiling by deep Sequencing (CAPP-Seq). The mean variant allele frequency (VAF) of all pretreatment mutations was tracked in subsequent blood draws and correlated with radiologic response. RESULTS: ctDNA kinetics were assessed in 122 samples from 21 patients. Pretreatment VAF did not differ significantly between patients who did and did not respond to chemotherapy (mean 22.5% v 4.6%, P = .17). A slight increase in ctDNA on cycle 1, day 1 immediately post-treatment was seen in six of the seven patients with available draws (fold change from baseline: 1.01-1.44), half of whom achieved a response. All patients who responded had a >2-fold decrease in mean VAF on cycle 2 day 1 (C2D1). Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were significantly longer in patients with a >2-fold decrease in mean VAF after one treatment cycle (6.8 v 2.6 months, log-rank P = .0004 and 21.7 v 6.4 months, log rank P = .04, respectively). CONCLUSION: A >2-fold decrease in ctDNA concentration was observed by C2D1 in all patients who were sensitive to platinum-based therapy and was associated with longer PFS and OS.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of serratus anterior plane block (SAPB) for treatment of pain after minimally invasive thoracic surgery remains unclear. This trial assesses the impact of SAPB on postoperative opioid consumption and on measures of early recovery after thoracoscopic lung resection. METHODS: Patients undergoing minimally invasive anatomic lung resection at a single center were randomized to undergo SAPB with 40 mL of injectate containing bupivacaine 0.25%, clonidine 100 mcg, and dexamethasone 4 mg (SAPB group) or sham block with 40 mL of normal saline (placebo group) at the conclusion of surgery. The primary outcome was cumulative intravenous morphine equivalents during the first 24 h postoperatively. Secondary outcomes were intravenous morphine equivalents, pain scores at rest and with cough, inspiratory volume on incentive spirometry, and incidence of nausea/vomiting during the first 48 h postoperatively; Quality of Recovery-15 score on postoperative day 7; and length of stay. RESULTS: Using the protocol-specified intention-to-treat analysis, the median (interquartile range, IQR) intravenous morphine equivalents was 10.6 (5.0 to 27.1) mg in SAPB patients (n=46) versus 18.8 (9.9 to 29.6) mg in placebo patients (n=46) (32% reduction; ratio=0.68 [95% CI, 0.44 to 1.06]; P=0.085). Of the secondary outcomes, only the composite pain with cough scores differed significantly in the SAPB group by a coefficient of -0.41 (95% CI, -0.81 to -0.01; P=0.044). A sensitivity as-treated analysis reported median (IQR) intravenous morphine equivalents of 10.0 (5.0 to 27.2) mg in SAPB patients (n=44) versus 19.9 (10.4 to 29.0) mg in placebo patients (n=48) (36% reduction; ratio=0.64 [95% CI, 0.41 to 1.00]; P=0.048). CONCLUSIONS: The protocol-specified intention-to-treat analysis demonstrated that SAPB did not result in a significant reduction in opioid consumption when added to a multimodal analgesic regimen after thoracoscopic anatomic lung resection. The sensitivity as-treated analysis showed a significant and modest clinical reduction in the primary outcome that warrants further investigation.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: No definitive answers currently exist regarding optimal first-line therapy for HER2-mutant NSCLC. Access to rapid tissue sequencing is a major barrier to precision drug development in the first-line setting. ctDNA analysis has the potential to overcome these obstacles and guide treatment. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed patients with metastatic HER2-mutant NSCLC who underwent prospective clinical ctDNA sequencing and received systemic therapy at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) from January 2016 to September 2022. HER2 mutations were identified by next-generation sequencing through MSK-IMPACT, MSK-ACCESS or Resolution ctDx LungTM assay. Primary endpoints were time to the next treatment (TTNT) and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Sixty-three patients were included in the primary analysis. Chemoimmunotherapy (33/63, 52.4 %) was the predominant first-line treatment with a median TTNT of 5.1 months (95 %CI 4.1 - 6.1) whereas 55.0 % (22/40) of patients who received second-line T-DXd obtained a median TTNT of 9.2 m (95 % CI, 0-22.2). Plasma ctDNA was tested before first-line therapy in 40 patients with a median OS of 28.0 months (95 % CI 21-34), in whom 31 patients (78.0 %) had detectable ctDNA. HER2 mutations were detected on ctDNA with a median turnaround time of 13 days, occasionally co-occurred with EGFR and MET alterations and were tracked longitudinally correlating with treatment response. Patients with detectable baseline ctDNA had significantly shorter OS (hazard ratio (HR), 5.25; 95 % CI, 1.2-23.9; p = 0.019). CONCLUSION: Chemoimmunotherapy remains a major treatment option for metastatic HER2-mutant NSCLC. ctDNA can rapidly detect HER2 and co-mutations, and it has the potential to guide and monitor optimal first-line therapy. As a negative prognostic biomarker, detectable ctDNA at baseline would need to be taken into account for patient selection in future studies.

RESUMEN

Importance: The randomized clinical trial Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB) 140503 showed that for patients with clinically staged T1N0 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC; ≤2 cm), sublobar resections were associated with similar oncological outcomes to those after lobar resection. The association of the extent of parenchymal resection with recurrence and survival in patients with tumors pathologically upstaged to T2 based on visceral pleural invasion (VPI) is controversial. Objective: To determine survival and recurrence rates in patients with small peripheral pT2 NSCLC (≤2 cm) that was treated by either lobar or sublobar resection in CALGB 140503. Design, Participants, and Setting: CALGB 140503, a randomized multicenter noninferiority trial, included 697 patients with small peripheral NSCLC that was clinically staged as T1N0. Enrollment was from June 2007 through March 2017 at 83 participating institutions, and after a median follow-up of 7 years, the primary outcome of disease-free survival after sublobar resection was noninferior to that after lobar resection. Intervention: Lobar or sublobar resection. Main Outcomes and Measures: Survival end points were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Hazard ratios and 95% CIs were estimated using stratified Cox proportional hazard models. Results: Of 679 participants, 390 (57.4%) were female, and the median (range) age was 67.8 (37.8-89.7) years. Among 697 patients randomized, 566 (81.2%) had pT1 tumors (no VPI) and 113 (16.2%) had pT2 tumors (VPI). Five-year disease-free survival was 65.9% (95% CI, 61.9%-70.2%) in patients with pT1 compared with 53.3% (95% CI, 44.3%-64.1%) in patients with pT2 tumors (stratified log-rank: P = .02). Disease recurrence developed in 27.6% of patients with pT1 (locoregional only: 60 [10.8%]; distant only: 81 [14.6%]) and 41.6% of those with pT2 (locoregional only: 17 [15.0%]; distant only: 27 [23.9%]). Five-year recurrence-free survival was 73.1% (95% CI, 69.2%-77.1%) for pT1 tumors and 58.2% (95% CI, 49.2%-68.8%) for pT2 tumors (stratified log-rank: P = .01). There were no intergroup differences in disease-free or recurrence-free survival based on the extent of parenchymal resection. Conclusions and Relevance: The results of this secondary analysis suggest that compared with patients with tumors without VPI, patients who had tumors with VPI had worse disease-free and recurrence-free survival and a higher rate of local and distant disease recurrence. These high rates of recurrence were independent of the extent of parenchymal resection, and these data support the inclusion of these patients in adjuvant therapy trials. Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT0049933.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) (video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) for pulmonary resection is standard in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer because it is associated with better perioperative outcomes than thoracotomy. MIS for resection of more advanced non-small cell lung cancer (Stages IB-IIIB) treated with neoadjuvant therapy has been utilized. However, the determinants of success are not well defined. METHODS: A single institution retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database was conducted, querying for patients with clinical Stage IB through IIIB non-small cell lung cancer who had resection after neoadjuvant systemic therapy without radiation from 2013 to 2022. Patients were grouped by surgical approach; that is, open versus MIS. Successful MIS was defined by no conversion, R0 resection, and no major (grade 3 or greater) morbidity. Analyses by intent-to-treat assessed outcomes by Wilcoxon rank-sum test and Fisher exact test. (Multivariable regression analysis identified variables that contributed to successful MIS resection.) RESULTS: Of 627 eligible patients, 360 (57%) had open and 267 (43%) had MIS procedures. Most patients (79.1%) received neoadjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy, and 21.9% were treated with immunotherapy or targeted therapy alone or combined with chemotherapy. Among MIS resections, 179 (67%) were performed by video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and 88 (33%) by robot-assisted thoracoscopic surgery. The conversion rate was 16% (n = 43). Successful MIS resection was achieved in 77% of patients. Multivariable regression analysis showed that pretreatment clinical N stage was a significant determinant of success, but not pretreatment clinical T stage or type of neoadjuvant therapy. CONCLUSIONS: Following neoadjuvant systemic therapy for clinical stage IB or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer, MIS resection can be successfully accomplished and should be considered in appropriate patients. Presence of pretreatment nodal disease is associated with higher odds of conversion, major morbidity, and incomplete resection.

RESUMEN

Background: Frailty, rather than age, is associated with postoperative morbidity and mortality. We sought to determine whether preoperative frailty as defined by a novel scoring system could predict the outcomes among older patients undergoing esophagectomy. Methods: We identified patients 65 years or older who underwent esophagectomy between 2011 and 2021 at our institution. Frailty was assessed using the MSK-FI, which consists of 1 component related to functional status and 10 medical comorbidities. We used a multivariable logistic regression model to test for the associations between frailty and short-term outcomes, with continuous frailty score as the predictor and additionally adjusted for age and Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status. Results: In total, 447 patients were included in the analysis (median age of 71 years [interquartile range, 68-75]). Most of the patients underwent neoadjuvant treatment (81%), an Ivor Lewis esophagectomy (86%), and minimally invasive surgery (55%). A total of 22 patients (4.9%) died within 90 days of surgery, 144 (32%) had a major complication, 81 (19%) were readmitted, and 31 (7.2%) were discharged to a facility. Of the patients who died within 90 days, 19 had a major complication, yielding a failure-to-rescue rate of 13%. The risk of 30-day major complications (OR, 1.24 [95% CI, 1.09-1.41]; p = 0.001), readmissions (OR, 1.31 [95% CI, 1.13-1.52]; p < 0.001), and discharge to a facility (OR, 1.86 [95% CI, 1.49-2.37]; p < 0.001) increased with increasing frailty. Frailty and 90-day mortality were not associated. Conclusions: Frailty assessment during surgery decision-making can identify patients with a high risk of morbidity.

RESUMEN

PURPOSE: Paclitaxel, ifosfamide, and cisplatin (TIP) is an established salvage regimen for germ cell tumors (GCT) on the basis of a phase II trial, but efficacy on a large patient cohort including patients with unfavorable risk features and long-term outcomes has not been reported. Herein, we report updated treatment efficacy and long-term follow-up with TIP. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Patients with GCT who received TIP after cisplatin-based chemotherapy were eligible. Favorable response (complete response or partial response with negative tumor markers), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) rates, relapse, and toxicity were determined. Disease was reclassified according to the International Prognostic Factor Study Group (IPFSG) score. RESULTS: Of the 104 patients, 87 had favorable risk factors and 17 had at least one unfavorable factor by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) criteria. Ten patients were treated for a second gonadal primary GCT. With a median follow-up of 8.9 years, the 5-year PFS and OS rates were 66% (95% CI, 55 to 74) and 69% (95% CI, 59 to 77), respectively. Among 87 patients with favorable-risk disease, 69 (79%) achieved a favorable response with 5-year PFS and OS rates of 67% (95% CI, 56 to 76) and 72% (95% CI, 61 to 80), respectively. Among 17 patients with MSKCC unfavorable-risk disease, 13 (76%) achieved a favorable response with 5-year PFS and OS rates of 59% (95% CI, 33 to 78) and 56% (95% CI, 28 to 76), respectively. After IPFSG reclassification, 5-year PFS and OS rates for patients with ≤intermediate-risk disease were 75% (95% CI, 50 to 89) and 73% (95% CI, 55 to 85), respectively. CONCLUSION: TIP is an effective second-line regimen for patients with GCT. Similar outcomes were observed in patients with favorable- and unfavorable-risk disease. The randomized TIGER trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02375204) comparing TIP with high-dose chemotherapy will determine the optimal second-line treatment approach.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Research into the risk factors associated with late recurrence (>2 years after surgery) of lung adenocarcinoma is limited. We investigated the incidence of and clinicopathologic and genomic features associated with late recurrence of resected stage I-IIIA lung adenocarcinoma. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with completely resected pathologic stage I-IIIA lung adenocarcinoma (2010-2019). Patients with a history of lung cancer, neoadjuvant therapy, or mucinous or noninvasive lung adenocarcinoma, or with follow-up of less than 2 years were excluded. Cox and logistic regression modeling were used to compare clinicopathologic variables among patients with no, early (≤2 years), and late recurrence. Comparisons of genomic mutations were corrected for multiple testing. RESULTS: Of the 2349 patients included, 537 developed a recurrence during follow-up. Most recurrences (55% [297/537]) occurred early; 45% (240/537) occurred late. A larger proportion of late recurrences than early recurrences were locoregional (37% vs 29%; P = .047). Patients with late recurrence had more aggressive pathologic features (International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer grade 2 and 3, lymphovascular invasion, visceral pleural invasion) and higher stage than patients without recurrence. Pathologic features were similar between patients with early and late recurrence, except stage IIIA disease was more common in the early cohort. No genomic mutations were associated with late recurrence. CONCLUSIONS: Late recurrence of lung adenocarcinoma after resection is more common than previously reported. Patients without disease more than 2 years after surgery who had aggressive pathologic features at the time of resection have an elevated risk of recurrence and may benefit from more aggressive follow-up.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Results of recent clinical trials suggest that segmentectomy may be an acceptable alternative to lobectomy for selected patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Increased use of segmentectomy may result in a concomitant increase in occult node-positive (N+) disease on surgical pathology examination. The optimal management for such patients remains unknown. METHODS: Clinicopathologic data were abstracted from a prospective institutional database to identify patients with pathologic N+ disease after segmentectomy for cT1 N0 M0 NSCLC. Propensity score matching identified a comparable lobectomy cohort for assessment of cumulative incidence of recurrence and overall survival (OS). RESULTS: Of 759 included patients, 27 (4%) had nodal upstaging on the final pathology report. Of these 27 patients, 4 (15%) had skip metastasis to N2 stations, and 20 (74%) received adjuvant therapy; no completion lobectomies were performed. Ten patients (37%) had disease recurrence: 3 isolated locoregional (11%) and 7 distant (26%). The median time to recurrence among patients with recurrence was 1.8 years; OS after recurrence was 3.4 years. After 5:1 matching with 109 patients who underwent lobectomy, all variables were balanced between the groups, except pathologic N2 stage and open surgical approach. The 5-year cumulative incidence of recurrence was not significantly different between segmentectomy and lobectomy (42% vs 52%, respectively; Gray's P = .1). The 5-year OS (63% and 50%) and rate of locoregional recurrence (12% vs 13%) were not statistically different between the groups. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with occult N+ disease after segmentectomy for cT1 N0 M0 NSCLC had limited isolated locoregional recurrences and outcomes similar to those in patients who underwent lobectomy. Lobectomy may not provide an advantage in these patients.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Lung cancers that present as radiographic subsolid nodules represent a subtype with distinct biological behavior and outcomes. The objective of this document is to review the existing literature and report consensus among a group of multidisciplinary experts, providing specific recommendations for the clinical management of subsolid nodules. METHODS: The American Association for Thoracic Surgery Clinical Practice Standards Committee assembled an international, multidisciplinary expert panel composed of radiologists, pulmonologists, and thoracic surgeons with established expertise in the management of subsolid nodules. A focused literature review was performed with the assistance of a medical librarian. Expert consensus statements were developed with class of recommendation and level of evidence for each of 4 main topics: (1) definitions of subsolid nodules (radiology and pathology), (2) surveillance and diagnosis, (3) surgical interventions, and (4) management of multiple subsolid nodules. Using a modified Delphi method, the statements were evaluated and refined by the entire panel. RESULTS: Consensus was reached on 17 recommendations. These consensus statements reflect updated insights on subsolid nodule management based on the latest literature and current clinical experience, focusing on the correlation between radiologic findings and pathological classifications, individualized subsolid nodule surveillance and surgical strategies, and multimodality therapies for multiple subsolid lung nodules. CONCLUSIONS: Despite the complex nature of the decision-making process in the management of subsolid nodules, consensus on several key recommendations was achieved by this American Association for Thoracic Surgery expert panel. These recommendations, based on evidence and a modified Delphi method, provide guidance for thoracic surgeons and other medical professionals who care for patients with subsolid nodules.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy is an emerging technology for the sampling of pulmonary lesions. We seek to characterize the shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy learning curve at an academic center. METHODS: Shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy procedures performed by 9 proceduralists at a single institution were analyzed. Cumulative sum analyses were performed to examine diagnostic sampling and procedure time over each operator's first 50 cases, with the acceptable yield threshold set to 73%. RESULTS: During the study period, 442 patients underwent sampling of 551 lesions. Each operator sampled 61 lesions (interquartile range, 60-63 lesions). Lesion size was 1.90 cm (interquartile range, 1.33-2.80 cm). The median procedure time for single-target cases decreased from 62 minutes during the first 10 cases to 39 minutes after case 40 (P < .001). The overall diagnostic yield was 72% (range, 58%-83%). Six of 9 operators achieved proficiency over the study period. An aggregated cumulative sum analysis of those who achieved competency demonstrated a steep improvement between lesions 1 and 21 and crossing of the competency threshold by lesion 25. Temporal analysis of yield-related lesion characteristics demonstrated that at approximately lesion 20, more challenging lesions were increasingly targeted, as evidenced by smaller target size, higher rates of unfavorable radial endobronchial ultrasound views, and a negative bronchus sign. CONCLUSIONS: Skills acquisition in shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy is variable. Approximately half of proceduralists become facile with the technology within 25 lesions. After the initial learning phase, operators increasingly target lesions with more challenging features. Overall, these findings can inform certification and competency standards and provide new users with expectations related to performance over time.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To investigate how the Siewert classification of gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas correlates with genomic profiles. SUMMARY/BACKGROUND DATA: Current staging and treatment guidelines recommend that tumors with an epicenter less than 2 cm into the gastric cardia be treated as esophageal cancers, while tumors with epicenter greater than 2 cm into the cardia be staged and treated as gastric cancers. To date, however, few studies have compared the genomic profiles of the 3 Siewert classification groups to validate this distinction. METHODS: Using targeted tumor sequencing data on patients with adenocarcinoma of the gastroesophageal junction previously treated with surgery at our institution, we compared genomic features across Siewert classification groups. RESULTS: A total of 350 patients were included: 121 had Siewert type I, 170 type II, and 59 type III. Comparisons by Siewert location revealed that Siewert type I and II were primarily characterized as the chromosomal instability (CIN) molecular subtype and displayed Barrett's metaplasia and p53 and cell cycle pathway dysregulation. Siewert type III tumors, by contrast, were more heterogeneous, including higher proportions of microsatellite instability (MSI) and genomically stable (GS) tumors and more frequently displayed ARID1A and somatic CDH1 alterations, signet ring cell features, and poor differentiation. Overall, Siewert type I and II tumors demonstrated greater genomic overlap with lower esophageal tumors, while Siewert type III tumors shared genomic features with gastric tumors. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, our results support recent updates in treatment and staging guidelines. Ultimately, however, molecular rather than anatomic classification may prove more valuable in determining staging, treatment, and prognosis.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Electronic nose (E-nose) technology has reported excellent sensitivity and specificity in the setting of lung cancer screening. However, the performance of E-nose specifically for early-stage tumors remains unclear. Therefore, the aim of our study was to assess the diagnostic performance of E-nose technology in clinical stage I lung cancer. METHODS: This phase IIc trial (NCT04734145) included patients diagnosed with a single greater than or equal to 50% solid stage I nodule. Exhalates were prospectively collected from January 2020 to August 2023. Blinded bioengineers analyzed the exhalates, using E-nose technology to determine the probability of malignancy. Patients were stratified into three risk groups (low-risk, [<0.2]; moderate-risk, [≥0.2-0.7]; high-risk, [≥0.7]). The primary outcome was the diagnostic performance of E-nose versus histopathology (accuracy and F1 score). The secondary outcome was the clinical performance of the E-nose versus clinicoradiological prediction models. RESULTS: Based on the predefined cutoff (<0.20), E-nose agreed with histopathologic results in 86% of cases, achieving an F1 score of 92.5%, based on 86 true positives, two false negatives, and 12 false positives (n = 100). E-nose would refer fewer patients with malignant nodules to observation (low-risk: 2 versus 9 and 11, respectively; p = 0.028 and p = 0.011) than would the Swensen and Brock models and more patients with malignant nodules to treatment without biopsy (high-risk: 27 versus 19 and 6, respectively; p = 0.057 and p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: In the setting of clinical stage I lung cancer, E-nose agrees well with histopathology. Accordingly, E-nose technology can be used in addition to imaging or as part of a "multiomics" platform.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Radiation pneumonitis (RP) is a common side effect of thoracic radiotherapy and often has a long course characterized by acute exacerbations and progression to permanent lung fibrosis. There are no validated biomarkers of prognosis in patients diagnosed with RP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We analyzed a time course of serum chemokines, cytokines, and other proteins from patients with grade 2+ RP in a randomized clinical trial of a steroid taper plus nintedanib, a multiple tyrosine kinase inhibitor, versus placebo plus a steroid taper for the treatment of RP. Weighted gene correlation network analysis (WGCNA) and univariable zero inflated Poisson models were used to identify groups of correlated analytes and their associations with clinical outcomes. RESULTS: Thirty enrolled patients had biomarker data available, and 17 patients had enough analytes tested for network analysis. WGNCA identified ten analytes, including transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-ß1), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), that in aggregate were correlated with the occurrence of pulmonary exacerbations (p = 0.008), the total number of acute pulmonary exacerbations (p = 0.002), and treatment arm (p = 0.036). By univariable analysis, an increase in rate of change of two components of the RP module were associated with an increased incidence rate of pulmonary exacerbations: interleukin 5 (IL-5, incidence rate ratio (IRR) 1.02, 95% CI 1.01-1.04, p = 0.002), and tumor necrosis factor superfamily 12 (TNFSF12, IRR 1.06, CI 1-1.11, p = 0.036). An increased slope of epidermal growth factor (EGF) was associated with a decreased incidence rate of exacerbations (IRR 0.94, CI 0.89-1, p = 0.036). CONCLUSION: We identified a panel of serum biomarkers that showed association with nintedanib treatment and acute pulmonary exacerbations in patients with RP. A confirmatory study will be needed to validate this panel for use as a prognostic tool in patients with RP.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) is an emerging modality to sample pulmonary lesions. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) can be incorporated into RAB. We investigated the magnitude and predictors of patient and staff radiation exposure during mobile CBCT-guided shape-sensing RAB. METHODS: Patient radiation dose was estimated by cumulative dose area product (cDAP) and cumulative reference air kerma (cRAK). Staff equivalent dose was calculated based on isokerma maps and a phantom simulation. Patient, lesion and procedure-related factors associated with higher radiation doses were identified by logistic regression models. RESULTS: A total of 198 RAB cases were included in the analysis. The median patient cDAP and cRAK were 10.86 Gy cm2 (IQR: 4.62-20.84) and 76.20 mGy (IQR: 38.96-148.38), respectively. Among staff members, the bronchoscopist was exposed to the highest median equivalent dose of 1.48 µSv (IQR: 0.85-2.69). Both patient and staff radiation doses increased with the number of CBCT spins and targeted lesions (p < 0.001 for all comparisons). Patient obesity, negative bronchus sign, lesion size <2.0 cm and inadequate sampling by on-site evaluation were associated with a higher patient dose, while patient obesity and inadequate sampling by on-site evaluation were associated with a higher bronchoscopist equivalent dose. CONCLUSION: The magnitude of patient and staff radiation exposure during CBCT-RAB is aligned with safety thresholds recommended by regulatory authorities. Factors associated with a higher radiation exposure during CBCT-RAB can be identified pre-operatively and solicit procedural optimization by reinforcing radiation protective measures. Future studies are needed to confirm these findings across multiple institutions and practices.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: To assess the performance of a lower predicted postoperative (ppo) forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) or diffusion capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (ppoFEV1/ppoDLCO) threshold to predict cardiopulmonary complications after minimally invasive surgery (MIS) lobectomy. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Although MIS is associated with better postoperative outcomes than open surgery, MIS uses risk-assessment algorithms developed for open surgery. Moreover, several different definitions of cardiopulmonary complications are used for assessment. METHODS: All patients who underwent MIS lobectomy for clinical stage I-II lung cancer from 2018 to 2022 at our institution were considered. The performance of a ppoFEV1/ppoDLCO threshold of <45% was compared against that of the current guideline threshold of <60%. Three different definitions of cardiopulmonary complications were compared: Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS), European Society of Thoracic Surgeons (ESTS), and Berry et al. RESULTS: In 946 patients, the ppoFEV1/ppoDLCO threshold of <45% was associated with a higher proportion correctly classified (79% [95% CI, 76%-81%] vs. 65% [95% CI, 62%-68%]; P<0.001). The complication with the biggest difference in incidence between ppoFEV1/ppoDLCO of 45%-60% and >60% was prolonged air leak (33 [13%] vs. 34 [6%]; P<0.001). The predicted probability curves for cardiopulmonary complications were higher for the STS definition than for the ESTS or Berry definitions across ppoFEV1 and ppoDLCO values. CONCLUSIONS: The ppoFEV1/ppoDLCO threshold of <45% more accurately classified patients for cardiopulmonary complications after MIS lobectomy, emphasizing the need for updated risk-assessment guidelines for MIS lobectomy to optimize additional cardiopulmonary function evaluation.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: There is a lack of knowledge regarding the use of prognostic features in stage I lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). Thus, we investigated clinicopathologic features associated with recurrence after complete resection for stage I LUAD. METHODS: We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with pathologic stage I LUAD who underwent R0 resection from 2010 to 2020. Exclusion criteria included history of lung cancer, induction or adjuvant therapy, noninvasive or mucinous LUAD, and death within 90 days of surgery. Fine and Gray competing-risk regression assessed associations between clinicopathologic features and disease recurrence. RESULTS: In total, 1912 patients met inclusion criteria. Most patients (1565 [82%]) had stage IA LUAD, and 250 developed recurrence: 141 (56%) distant and 109 (44%) locoregional only. The 5-year cumulative incidence of recurrence was 12% (95% CI, 11%-14%). Higher maximum standardized uptake value of the primary tumor (hazard ratio [HR], 1.04), sublobar resection (HR, 2.04), higher International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer grade (HR, 5.32 [grade 2]; HR, 7.93 [grade 3]), lymphovascular invasion (HR, 1.70), visceral pleural invasion (HR, 1.54), and tumor size (HR, 1.30) were independently associated with a hazard of recurrence. Tumors with 3 to 4 high-risk features had a higher cumulative incidence of recurrence at 5 years than tumors without these features (30% vs 4%; P < .001). CONCLUSIONS: Recurrence after resection for stage I LUAD remains an issue for select patients. Commonly reported clinicopathologic features can be used to define patients at high risk of recurrence and should be considered when assessing the prognosis of patients with stage I disease.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The relationship among obesity, bariatric surgery, and esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is complex, given that some bariatric procedures are thought to be associated with increased incidence of reflux and Barrett's esophagus. Previous bariatric surgery may complicate the use of the stomach as a conduit for esophagectomy. In this study, we presented our experience with patients who developed EAC after bariatric surgery and described the challenges encountered and the techniques used. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective review of our institutional database to identify all patients at our institution who were treated for EAC after previously undergoing bariatric surgery. RESULTS: In total, 19 patients underwent resection with curative intent for EAC after bariatric surgery, including 10 patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy. The median age at diagnosis of EAC was 63 years; patients who underwent sleeve gastrectomy were younger (median age, 56 years). The median time from bariatric surgery to EAC was 7 years. Most patients had a body mass index (BMI) score of >30 kg/m2 at the time of diagnosis of EAC; approximately 40% had class III obesity (BMI score > 40 kg/m2). Six patients (32%) had known Barrett's esophagus before undergoing a reflux-increasing bariatric procedure. Sleeve gastrectomy patients underwent esophagectomy with gastric conduit, colonic interposition, or esophagojejunostomy. Only 1 patient had an anastomotic leak (after esophagojejunostomy). CONCLUSION: Endoscopy should be required both before (for treatment selection) and after all bariatric surgical procedures. Resection of EAC after bariatric surgery requires a highly individualized approach but is safe and feasible.
