From 1955 to 1990, 111 patients have been treated for multiple primary lung
carcinomas. Criteria for diagnosis were: (1) different histology (n = 44);
or (2) same histology, but disease-free interval at least 2 years (n = 39),
origin from carcinoma in situ (n = 19), or metachronous disease in
different lobe (n = 9) with no cancer in common lymphatics or
extrapulmonary metastasis at the time of diagnosis. The second cancer was
synchronous in 33 patients (30%) and metachronous in 78 (70%). Metachronous
disease developed at a median interval of 48 months. Five-year survival for
patients with metachronous and synchronous disease from the time of initial
diagnosis of cancer was 70% and 44%, and 10-year survival was 42% and 23%,
respectively. Survival after the development of a metachronous lesion was
23% at 5 years. Survival from the time of initial diagnosis was
significantly better for metachronous versus synchronous, late (24 month
disease-free interval) versus early metachronous disease, and
adenocarcinoma versus epidermoid carcinoma. The first cancer was completely
resected in 103 patients (93%), but complete resection of a metachronous
tumor was possible in only 54 patients (69%). Complete resection of second
primary cancers resulted in significantly (p less than 0.0001) prolonged
5-year survival compared with incomplete resection (38% versus 9%).
Excluding patients requiring pneumonectomy, initial resection limited
subsequent resection in only 7 patients (9%) with metachronous disease. We
conclude that patients surviving treatment of primary lung cancers require
lifelong screening for multiple primary lung carcinoma, and complete
resection is recommended whenever possible.
