RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The role of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) as a predictor for survival in single fraction SBRT-treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients remains unclear. We performed an observational cohort study to determine the role of pretreatment NLR in predicting survival of early-stage NSCLC patients after single fraction SBRT. METHODS: A single-institution database of peripheral early-stage NSCLC patients treated with SBRT from February 2007 to May 2022 was queried. Optimal threshold of neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was defined based on maximally selected rank statistics. Cox multivariable analysis (MVA), Kaplan-Meier, and propensity score matching were performed to evaluate outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 286 patients were included for analysis with median follow up of 19.7 months. On Cox multivariate analysis, as a continuous variable, NLR was shown to be an independent predictor of OS (adjusted hazards ratio [aHR] 1.06, 95% CI 1.02-1.10, p = 0.005) and PFS (aHR 1.05, 95% CI 1.01-1.09, p = 0.013). In addition, NLR was associated with DF (aHR 1.11, 95% CI 1.05-1.18, p < 0.001). Maximally selected rank statistics determined 3.28 as the cutoff point of high NLR versus low NLR. These findings were confirmed upon propensity matching. CONCLUSIONS: Pretreatment NLR is an independent predictor for survival outcomes of peripheral early-stage NSCLC patients after single fraction SBRT.

RESUMO

Quality of life (QOL) is a key consideration for patients with early-stage NSCLC choosing between treatment options. Currently, it is not well established whether stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or surgery offers superior QOL in early-stage NSCLC. The objective of this systematic review is to summarize the prospective literature on QOL in patients with early-stage NSCLC after treatment with SBRT or surgery. A comprehensive literature review using PubMed and EMBASE was performed in April 2022. Prospective studies evaluating QOL data across multiple time points in patients with early-stage NSCLC after SBRT or surgery were included. A total of 25 studies involving 1597 SBRT patients and 1652 surgery patients met the inclusion criteria. Across most studies, QOL remained stable after treatment with SBRT. After surgery, QOL initially decreased; however, it often returned to baseline in the next 6 to 12 months. Utilization of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery and sublobar resection reduced the magnitude of the initial decrease in QOL after surgery and led to faster recovery to baseline. Owing to the heterogeneity of patient populations between studies evaluating SBRT versus surgery, direct comparisons between the two treatments remain difficult to make. Clinicians should appropriately counsel patients with this information to help guide patient-centered discussions on choosing the optimal treatment modality.

RESUMO

This is a case of a woman with massive hemoptysis, associated with a pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm, and a fistula between the right pulmonary artery and bronchus intermedius. Bronchoscopic evaluation revealed an endobronchial mass in the right bronchus intermedius, suspicious for a tumor. Upon biopsy of the mass, massive bleeding occurred. The right lung was surgically resected. No specific etiology for the fistula was identified on pathologic examination. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a pulmonary artery-bronchial fistula presenting without typically known predisposing factors.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Standard therapy for stage III non-small cell lung cancer with chemotherapy and conventional radiation has suboptimal outcomes. We hypothesized that a combination of surgery followed by stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) would be a safe alternative. METHODS: Patients with stage IIIA (multistation N2) or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer were enrolled from March 2013 to December 2015. The protocol included transcervical extended mediastinal lymphadenectomy (TEMLA) followed by surgical resection, 10 Gy SBRT directed to the involved mediastinum/hilar stations and/or positive surgical margins, and adjuvant systemic therapy. Patients not suitable for anatomic lung resection were treated with 30 Gy to the primary tumor. The primary efficacy end-point was the proportion of patients with grade 3 or higher adverse events (AE) or toxicities. RESULTS: Of 10 patients, 7 patients underwent neoadjuvant chemotherapy. All patients had TEMLA. Nine of 10 patients underwent surgical resection. The remaining patient had an unresectable tumor and received 30 Gy SBRT to the primary lesion. All patients had post-operative SBRT. Median follow-up was 18 months. There were no perioperative mortalities. Six patients had any grade 3 AEs with no grade 4-5 AEs. Of these, 4 were not attributable to radiation. Pulmonary-related grade 3 AEs were experienced by 2 patients. There were no failures within the 10 Gy volume. Overall survival and progression-free survival rates at 2 years were 68% (90% CI 36-86) and 40% (90% CI 16-63), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: In carefully selected patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer, combining surgery with SBRT was well tolerated with no local failure. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov identifying number NCT01781741 . Registered February 1, 2013.
