Presented at the Poster Session of the Thirty-sixth Annual Meeting of The Society of Thoracic Surgeons, Fort Lauderdale, FL, Jan 31–Feb 2, 2000.
Background. This study was undertaken to determine the predictive value of nodal status at resection in regards to long-term outcome of patients undergoing neo-adjuvant therapy and resection for stage IIIA N2-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods. We reviewed the medical records of all patients found on surgical staging to have N2-positive NSCLC and who underwent induction therapy followed by resection between 1988 and 1996 at our hospital. Complete follow-up information was examined utilizing Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Cox proportional hazards multivariate analysis.
Results. One hundred three patients (59 men) with stage IIIA N2-positive NSCLC received neoadjuvant therapy before surgical resection. Preoperative therapy consisted of platinum-based chemotherapy (76), radiotherapy (18), or chemoradiation (9). Operations included pneumonectomy (38), bilobectomy (6), and lobectomy (59). There were four deaths and seven major complications. Eighty-five patients were followed until death. Median survival among 18 living patients is 60.9 months (range 29 to 121 months). Twenty-nine patients were downstaged to N0 and had 5-year survival of 35.8% (median survival 21.3 months). Seventy-four patients with persistent tumor in their lymph nodes (25 N1 and 49 N2) had significantly worse, 9%, 5-year survival, p = 0.023 (median survival 15.9 months). Other negative prognostic factors were adenocarcinoma and pneumonectomy.
Conclusions. Patients with N2-positive NSCLC whose nodal disease is eradicated after neoadjuvant therapy and surgery enjoy significantly improved cancer-free survival. These data support surgical resection for patients downstaged by induction therapy; however, patients who are not downstaged do not benefit from surgical resection. Direct effort should be made to improve the accuracy of restaging before resection.
