Abstract
Background/aim: The aim of the study was to describe the specific characteristics of patients with microscopic residual disease (R1) after surgical resection for non-small cell lung cancer and to evaluate the effect of postoperative therapy in R1 patients.
Patients and methods: We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 3,296 patients. Enrolled R1 patients were divided into two groups: those who received postoperative therapy (PT) and those who did not receive postoperative therapy (NPT).
Results: A total of 52 R1 patients were enrolled. Of those, 27 (51.9%) underwent extended resections in addition to the standard surgery, 37 patients were assigned to the PT group and 15 to the NPT group. The PT group exhibited significantly longer overall survival (OS) than the NPT group (p<0.01, 5-year OS rate: 62.7% vs. 17.9%). There was no difference in progression-free survival (PFS) between the two groups (p=0.34, 5-year PFS rate: 38.7% vs. 22.2%). Age (<70 years old) and postoperative therapy positively impacted OS (p=0.03, and p=0.01, respectively).
Conclusion: R1 resection after surgical resection for non-small cell lung cancer was more likely to occur in the patients receiving extended surgical resection. The PT group demonstrated a significantly better prognosis than the NPT group.
期刊介绍:
ANTICANCER RESEARCH is an independent international peer-reviewed journal devoted to the rapid publication of high quality original articles and reviews on all aspects of experimental and clinical oncology. Prompt evaluation of all submitted articles in confidence and rapid publication within 1-2 months of acceptance are guaranteed.
ANTICANCER RESEARCH was established in 1981 and is published monthly (bimonthly until the end of 2008). Each annual volume contains twelve issues and index. Each issue may be divided into three parts (A: Reviews, B: Experimental studies, and C: Clinical and Epidemiological studies).
Special issues, presenting the proceedings of meetings or groups of papers on topics of significant progress, will also be included in each volume. There is no limitation to the number of pages per issue.
