Abstract
Background
In patients with malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) chemotherapy is the only treatment modality that has been shown to improve survival. Surgery, by either pleurectomy/decortication (P/D) or extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP) can be an option of treatment in patients with early stage disease and good functional status, nevertheless, this modality remains questionable. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of surgical treatment on the survival in patients with MPM.
Methods
Case series of patients with histologically proven MPM between January 2012 and Jun 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. The variables analyzed were: age, sex, asbestos exposure, smoking history, biomass exposure, performance status with ECOG scale, staging and type of treatment. Univariate and multivarite analyses were performed using the Cox regression model. Survival functions were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier statistics. The decision to perform either P/D or EPP was on the basis surgeon’s preference.
Results
There were 122 cases of MPM; 71% were males and the media age at diagnosis was 63 years. Twenty (16.4%) of the cases received surgery, 8 EPP, 8 P/D, and 4 were unresectable at the moment of the surgery. The 30-day mortality was 5%, one patient after EPP. The median survival in all cases was 8.6 months, while in the surgical vs no surgical group was 15.8 vs 7.2 months respectively (p < 0.05). In comparision to no surgery treatment, surgery alone was associated with significant improvement in survival [adj HR 0.20 (95%CI: 0.07-0.56). At multivariate analysis independent significant predictors of survival were surgery [adj HR 0.21 (95%CI: 0.06-0.71), beign female [adj HR 0.49 (95%CI: 1.06-4.48), chemotherapy [adj HR 0.22 (95%CI: 0.07-0.70), stage early vs advanced [adj HR 0.47 (95%CI: 0.22-1.04) and ECOG < 2 [adj HR 0.21 (95%CI: 0.06-0.76).
Conclusions
Our data suggest relative advantage of surgery on survival. Patients who received surgery had better survival than patients who were treated with chemotherapy or palliative care alone.

Abstract
Background
Variation at TP63 has recently been shown to be associated with non-small cell lung cancer patients (NSCLC) in the Chinese population. There is some clinical evidence for the use of TP63 mutations as prognostic and predictive biomarker. The aim of this study is to investigate mutations and prognosis of NSCLC harboring TP63 mutations.
Methods
A total of 1236 patients with non-small-cell lung cancer were recruited between July 2012 and December 2016. The status of TP63 mutations and other genes were detected by next generation sequencing.
Results
TP63 gene mutation rate was 2.02% (25/1236) in non-small cell lung cancer, including R643* (1 patient), H247N (1 patient), A139V (1 patient), V626F (1 patient), Q70* (1 patient), Q274E (1 patient), H615D (1 patient), R350T (1 patient), Y202Kfs*29 (1 patient), P229H (1 patient), M40V (1 patient), E409Q (1 patient), V179M (1 patient), W658* (1 patient), S365* (1 patient), T193M (1 patient), L50F (1 patient), A554E (1 patient), R226H (1 patient), Q99* (1 patient), S310N (1 patient), T169N (1 patient), R266Q (1 patient), D372H (1 patient), and P492T (1 patient), and median overall survival (OS) for these patients was 15.0 months. Among them, all patients were TP63 gene with co-occurring mutations. Briefly, patients with (n = 5) or without (n = 20) co-occurring EGFR mutations had a median OS of 22.5 months and 14.0 months respectively (P = 0.23); patients with (n = 21) or without (n = 4) co-occurring TP53 mutations had a median OS of 15.0 months and 13.0 months respectively (P = 0.33); patients with (n = 5) or without (n = 20) co-occurring BRAF mutations had a median OS of 14.0 months and 15.0 months respectively (P = 0.72); patients with (n = 5) or without (n = 20) co-occurring KRAS mutations had a median OS of 6.0 months and not up to now respectively (P < 0.01).
Conclusions
TP63 is structurally and functionally similar to TP53 and their activity as transcription factors is regulated by a wide repertoire of shared and unique post-translational modifications and interactions with regulatory cofactors. EGFR, TP53 and BRAF gene accompanied may have less correlation with TP63 mutation in NSCLC patients. KRAS accompanied mutations might play a worse prognosis in TP63 gene mutation NSCLC.

Abstract
Background
Baseline neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are markers of host inflammation and have been reported as prognostic factors in advanced cancer patients, but have not been analyzed extensively in lung cancer in the era of immunotherapy, especially the dynamic changes of these markers.
Methods
Patients who were treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) either as a standard of care or on a clinical trial at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital were enrolled. Baseline complete blood count [defined as the results obtained at the time (−3/0 days) of initiating ICIs, including white blood cell (WBC), absolute neutrophil count (ANC), platelet count and absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) to calculate the NLR and PLR] were extracted from medical records. Derived NLR (dNLR) was calculated as dNLR = ANC/(WBC−ALC). C3 complete blood count (defined as the results obtained before Cycle 3 of ICIs) was also collected and calculated.
Results
Ninety-five patients were identified in the present study. 49 (51.6%) of patients received ICI monotherapy, and 46 (48.4%) received ICI-based combination therapy. Baseline NLR, dNLR, PLR were not associated with clinical outcomes of ICI therapy (ORR or PFS). Using 5 as a C3 NLR cut-off value, patients with C3 NLR <5 had better ORR and PFS than those with C3 NLR ≥5. Furthermore, patients who had increased NLR (n = 29) had inferior ORR (17.2% versus 41.0%, P = 0.026) and median PFS (5.5 versus 8.5 months, P = 0.022) than those who had decreased NLR (n = 61). Patients with C3 dNLR <3 had better ORR and median PFS than those with C3 dNLR ≥3. Patients who had increased dNLR (n = 26) had lower ORR (15.4% versus 40.3%, P = 0.027) and inferior median PFS (5.6 versus 8.4 months, P = 0.150) than those who had decreased dNLR. There was a trend towards better ORR and median PFS in patients lower C3 PLR. Interestingly, patients who had decreased PLR (n = 47) had better ORR (42.6% versus 23.3%, P = 0.052) and median PFS (11.8 versus 5.5 months, P = 0.003) than those who had increased PLR (n = 43). Multivariate analysis revealed dynamic changes of PLR as an independent predictive factor for PFS (HR: 2.27, 95% CI, 1.10-4.71, P = 0.027).
Conclusions
Dynamic change of PLR has a potentially predictive role of the efficacy of ICI therapy.

Abstract
Background
Anti-PD-(L)1 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) have changed the therapeutic landscape in patients with advanced NSCLC, still 35-40% of these patients derive no benefit from anti-PD-(L)1 mAb. Antibiotics alter gut microbiota diversity and composition, and may affects antitumor immune responses following immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in NSCLC.
Methods
We retrospectively included 218 patients with advanced NSCLC receiving anti-PD-(L)1 mAb. Overall survival (OS) (primary endpoint), progression free survival (PFS) and radiological response was compared between patients who received antibiotics within 2 months prior to the start of immunotherapy (ATB+) and patients who did not (ATB-). Assuming a rate of antibiotic comedication of 20% of all patients included, the study had a power of 70% to detect a 35% OS improvement in ATB- patients.
Results
Patients are well balanced with the exception of PD-L1 immunohistochemical expression that was more frequent in ATB+ compared to ATB- (30% vs. 19%, P = 0.05). ATB+ compared to ATB- was associated with a significantly shorter OS (median OS, 10.6 vs 29.9 months, HR 2.7, 95% CI 1.7-4.1, P < 0.001) and shorter PFS (median PFS 1.4 vs 5.8 months, HR 2.2, 95% CI 1.5-3.4, P < 0.001). In the adjusted model for OS, the following 4 parameters retained a statistically significant prognostic value : ATB+ vs. ATB- (HR 2.8, 95% CI 1.7-4.5, P < 0.001), ECOG performance score >1 vs. 0-1 (HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.4-3.7, P = 0.001), squamous-cell vs. Non squamous-cell histology (HR 2.1, 95% CI 1.4-3.2, P < 0.001) and no prior radiotherapy vs. prior radiotherapy (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.2-2.6, P = 0.006). ATB+ compared to ATB- was significantly associated with an increased risk of progressive disease as best radiological response (73% vs 41%, P = 0.002).
Conclusions
Antibiotic treatment is associated with a reduced clinical benefit from therapy with anti-PD-(L)1 mAb. The negative prognostic value of antibiotics was independent from known prognostic factors. However, further investigation is required on the mechanism behind this observation, with emphasis on the role of the gut microbiota composition in the context of anticancer immune response.

Abstract
Background
SCLC is an aggressive cancer subtype, with early metastatic spread and poor prognosis. We review Irish patient outcomes, outside of a clinical trial setting, to determine if patients who commenced radiotherapy (RT) within 30days of chemotherapy (CT) had a longer PFS.
Methods
SCLC cases diagnosed between 2006-2016 were identified from a prospectively maintained lung cancer registry at a tertiary referral centre. Electronic patient records, paper charts, and pathology reports were reviewed to extract relevant data. In order to detect a statistical difference between the two groups with 95% confidence interval and a 5% margin of error, a sample size of 125 patients with SCLC was needed, and a sample size of 56 with LSSCLC. A two-sided t-test was used where data was normally distributed. A p value of < 0.05 was accepted. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to assess progression free survival and a Mann-Whitney test to assess differences between groups.
Results
265 patients identified, 70 with LSSCLC, 44 had concurrent treatment. Median time to starting CT was 20 days (95%CI; 15.8-24.2days). The median time between diagnosis and CT was 28days, from CT to RT was 28.5 days. 21 patients started RT within 30 days of commencing CT; median time 19days. 19 patients started RT more than 30 days post CT; median time 67days. Median time from diagnosis to CT was 12days in this group. Median PFS where the time from day1 CT to day1 of RT was less than 30days was 12.1months. For patients where the treatment interval was greater than 30 days, median PFS was 10.6months. Using a non-parametric Mann-Whitney test to evaluate the median PFS produced a U value of 127, and a P-value of 0.41.
Conclusions
This study reports real-world outcomes in patients with LSSCLC over a 10-year period. Although not reaching statistical significance there is a numerical difference in PFS favouring shorter time to combination CRT. We have also identified areas where there is room to improve our practice. Further attention will focus on strategies to reduce both the interval between histological diagnosis and commencing CT, and the interval between CT and RT in this setting. A study expansion is planned.

Abstract
Background
In advanced NSCLC, ctDNA is an emerging tool in molecular profile testing at diagnosis and at resistance to targeted therapies. However, for CNS limited mts, ctDNA might have a reduced accuracy because of low concentrations. Aim: to assess feasibility of ctDNA in NSCLC with isolated CNS disease/progression (PD) (iCNS).
Methods
This is a retrospective analysis of consecutive advanced NSCLC pts treated at Gustave Roussy from 01.2016 to 06.2018 included in 2 prospective studies (CEC-CTC, MSN). Included: any molecular tissue alteration at baseline (EGFR, ALK, BRAF, KRAS, HER2, ROS1, MET, TP53), CNS disease and ≥1 ctDNA sample at diagnosis/PD. CtDNA was performed by next generation sequencing (NGS- InVisionSeq™-Lung). Clinical/molecular/imaging data were collected. CtDNA in iCNS group were compared to systemic PD group (with CNS PD or stable disease, S-CNS). ctDNA was defined as positive if ≥ 1 mutation in the NGS panel.
Results
422/959 screened pts had ≥1 ctDNA sample. 183/422 pts had CNS disease. 58/182 pts had ctDNA sample at time of CNS disease and 66 samples were eligible for inclusion: 21 iCNS and 45 S-CNS (≥1 sample/patient as ≥ 1 PD). In iCNS and S-CNS, pts characteristics were: median age 55 vs 59 years, female gender 94% vs 59%, adenocarcinoma histology 100% vs 93%, smoking history 35% vs 44%, median mts sites at diagnosis 1 vs 2. Prevalence of EGFR mutation at diagnosis was 76 and 61%, ALK rearrangement 18 and 10%, KRAS 6 and 5% in iCNS and in S-CNS, respectively. HER2, TP53, BRAF and MET alterations were present only in S-CNS group (12%, 10%, 5% and 2%). CtDNA was positive in 38% in iCNS vs. 98% in S-CNS groups (Fisher test, p < 0.0001) (Table).
Conclusions
In NSCLC pts with isolated CNS involvement, genomic alterations assessed by ctDNA in plasma had a low detection rate. (Table).

Abstract
Background
To reappraise the prognostic significance of the IASLC definitions of complete, uncertain, and incomplete resection in NSCLC surgery.
Methods
Single-institution retrospective review of 1052 consecutive patients surgically treated for NSCLC between 2008 and 2017. Complete resection was defined by absence of residual disease; systematic nodal dissection; no extracapsular extension in lymph nodes removed separately or those at lung specimen margin; negativity of distal mediastinal lymph nodes. An uncertain resection was defined by free resection margins, but one of the following applied: inadequate lymph node assessment; positivity of distal mediastinal lymph nodes; presence of carcinoma in situ at bronchial margin; positive pleural lavage cytology. A resection was defined incomplete by presence of residual disease; extracapsular extension in distal mediastinal lymph nodes or those at lung specimen margin; positive cytology of pleural or pericardial effusions. Follow-up was complete and overall survival (OS) was assessed using the Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard modeling.
Results
Eight hundred eighty-six (84.2%) patients had a complete resection, 131 (12.5%) an uncertain resection, and 35 (3.3%) an incomplete resection. Median follow-up was 44.9 months (range, 0.1 to 132.3). Complete resection was associated with significantly better survival compared to uncertain and incomplete resection (adjusted hazard ratio, 1.84 and 2.31, respectively; both p = 0.0001). Median OS and 5-year survival rate were 102.3, 32.9, 23.3 months and 62.3%, 33.5%, 24.3% in patients undergoing complete, uncertain, and incomplete resection, respectively. Additional significant predictors for OS in the multivariable Cox model were patient age and Charlson Comorbidity Index; tumor diameter, histology and pathologic TNM stage; and the occurrence of postoperative adverse events.
Conclusions
Our current experience confirms that in NSCLC surgery, significant differences exist in long-term survival following complete, uncertain, and incomplete resection, as defined by the IASLC.
