Abstract
Introduction: There remain controversies about the role of surgery for N3 stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
Methods: N3 stage NSCLC patients were identified from the US National Cancer Institute Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (2010-2020). Survival analysis and multivariate regression models were used to adjust covariates and analyze factors associated with survival. Propensity score matching was used to balance selection bias.
Results: Of 6,473 included patients, 121 received treatment that included lobectomy with mediastinal lymph node dissection. Overall survival (OS) was significantly prolonged in the lobectomy group than in the nonsurgery group (median survival time [MST]: 57 vs. 16 months; log-rank p < 0.001). A total of 403 patients were matched, and OS was significant longer in the lobectomy group (MST: 51 vs. 16 months; log-rank p < 0.001). Multivariate regression analyses indicated that lobectomy was independently associated with improved OS (hazard ratio [HR] 0.398, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.302-0.526; p < 0.001) and lung cancer-specific death (LCSD) (subhazard ratio [SHR] 0.343, 95% CI: 0.249-0.474; p < 0.001).
Conclusion: Compared with nonsurgical treatment modalities, lobectomy with lymph node dissection was associated with improved OS and LCSD in selected N3 stage NSCLC patients.
期刊介绍:
Although laboratory and clinical cancer research need to be closely linked, observations at the basic level often remain removed from medical applications. This journal works to accelerate the translation of experimental results into the clinic, and back again into the laboratory for further investigation. The fundamental purpose of this effort is to advance clinically-relevant knowledge of cancer, and improve the outcome of prevention, diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease. The journal publishes significant clinical studies from cancer programs around the world, along with important translational laboratory findings, mini-reviews (invited and submitted) and in-depth discussions of evolving and controversial topics in the oncology arena. A unique feature of the journal is a new section which focuses on rapid peer-review and subsequent publication of short reports of phase 1 and phase 2 clinical cancer trials, with a goal of insuring that high-quality clinical cancer research quickly enters the public domain, regardless of the trial’s ultimate conclusions regarding efficacy or toxicity.
