Surgery on unfavourable persistent N2/N3 non-small-cell lung cancer after trimodal therapy: do the results justify the risk?

Abstract: Persistent but resectable N2/N3 after chemoradiotherapy in stage III NSCLC is the least favourable subgroup of patients in neoadjuvant approaches. If surgery can be carried out with curative intent and low morbidity, completing trimodal therapy is justified, with an acceptable outcome.

“…However, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy prior to surgical resection did not significantly improve OS or DFS. A cohort analysis showed that resectable N2/N3 after chemoradiotherapy in stage III NSCLC is a risk factor for mortality, 26 and SWOG 8805 25 revealed that the strongest predictor of long-term survival after thoracotomy is the absence of tumors in the mediastinal nodes at surgery (median survival, 30 vs 10 months; 3-year survival rates, 44% vs 18%; P = 0.0005). In accordance with our data, a previous meta-analysis demonstrated that neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy does not provide better survival compared to neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone in stage IIIA (N2) NSCLC undergoing surgical resection.…”

“…For restaging in the evaluation of the response to induction therapy, CT imaging carries a falsenegative rate of 50 % (for example, the size of LN metastasis can persist in cicatrization after a good response and reorganization due to CCRT and can persist due to a bad response to CTx or CCRT [26]), compared with 30 % for PET. The combined interpretation of PET/CT and CT or integrated PET/CT has been reported to be more sensitive and accurate than either imaging modality alone or re-do mediastinoscopy [27,28].…”

“…Weitere Studien legten jedoch nahe, dass auch in der Subgruppe mit persistierender N2-Situation die Ergebnisse nach chirurgischer Therapie durchaus ermutigend sind, sodass die Tumorresektion diesen Patienten nicht verweigert werden sollte [20]. Cerfolio et al berichten von einer 5-JÜR von 42 % bei persistierender N2-Situation und führt dies auf eine sorgfältige Patientenauswahl prätherapeutisch, aber auch nach dem Restaging zurück [9].…”

“…Somit konnten einschneidende, den Patienten in seiner Lungenfunktion stark limitierende Eingriffe an Zahl sehr gering gehalten werden. In anderen Studien ist zum Erreichen einer R0-Resektion häufig eine höhere Rate (bis zu 53 % Pneumonektomien) an komplexen Eingriffen nötig[20]. Ein Schwachpunkt unserer Untersuchung ist sicherlich der kurze Beobachtungszeitraum über 4 Jahre sowie die relativ geringe Anzahl an Patienten und der retrospektive Studiencharakter.…”
