Prognostic impact of M descriptors of the 8th edition of TNM classification of lung cancer

Abstract: Background: The 8th edition of the tumor, node and metastasis (TNM) classification of lung cancer will be enacted in January 2017. The aim of this study was to analyze the survival differences among the three new categories of metastatic disease: intrathoracic metastasis (M1a), single extrathoracic metastasis (M1b) and multiple extrathoracic metastases (M1c) in our cohort of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods: This is a retrospective single-center study including NSCLC patients with metas… Show more

“…Among patients' demographic data, squamous cell histology was more common in patients with M1b disease than in those with M1a or M1c disease. Similar observation was also noted in the prior small cohort study of 172 patients with stage IV disease, in which 30 patients (17%) had M1b disease and 29% had squamous cell carcinoma [11]. Although the exact biological mechanisms remain to be clarified, the observations are consistent with the prior knowledge that squamous cell carcinoma of the lung tends to be locally aggressive and less frequently develop metastasis to distant organs compared with adenocarcinoma [16,17].…”

“…In the present study, M1b disease consisted of 10% of the stage IV NSCLC cohort. A few studies have reported the prevalence of M1b disease in stage IV NSCLC using the 8th edition, ranging from 9.7% to 17% . The observation in the present study falls into this range and confirms that M1b disease is relatively uncommon among stage IV NSCLC.…”

“…OMD and OPD are not well-established as disease concepts for breast cancer patients, in contrast to other tumor entities. On the contrary, the recent 8th edition of the TNM classification of lung cancer describes a M-subgroup for patients with OMD (16). There is no such subclassification in breast cancer patients with OMD (17).…”

“…The number of metastasis organs in advanced lung cancer is an important factor for survival and prognosis of patients, the more metastasis organs, the worse prognosis [28][29] . Patients with liver metastases are associated with poor outcomes and the worst prognosis (median PFS 1.15 vs 3.24months, median OS 3-4 vs 5-8months) than non-liver metastases in the advanced NSCLC [30][31][32] .…”
