NSCLC • 85% of lung cancers • Non-squamous • Adenocarcinoma (subtypes based on gene expression) • Broncioid (associated with increased survival in early stage) • Squamoid (associated with increased survival in advanced disease) • Bronchioloalveolar is subtype of adenocarcinoma • Large-cell • Squamous
Mediastinal L.N. • CT scan: • Negative LN by CT • 3% +ve by biopsy May proceed with surgery • 1-2cm LN by CT • 10-20% +ve by biopsy • >2cm LN by CT • 60% +ve by biopsy • >4cm LN • 90% +ve by biopsy • PET scan: • 94% sensit, 86% specif, 88% accuracy • Does not replace Mediastinoscopy Mediastinoscopy + Biopsy
New TNM Staging • International Association of the Study of lung Cancer (IASLC) staging is adopted by AJCC (7th edition)
Changes To TNM staging • T4 pleural and/or pericardial effusion and/or pleural nodules becomes M1a • Additional nodules in the contralateral lung are subclassified as M1a • Distant metastases are subclassified as M1b
Sub-classify • T1 into T1a and T1ba. T1a < 2 cmb. T1b > 2 cm and < 3 cm • T2 into T2a and T2ba. T2a > 3 cm and < 5 cmb. T2b > 5 cm and < 7 cm
Reclassify • T2 lesions larger than 7 cm as T3 • T4 tumors with additional nodules in the primary lobe as T3 • M1 by additional nodules in the ipsilateral lung (different lobe) as T4
Stages at diagnosis • 16% = localized • 5YS = 49.5% • 25% = regional LN and locally advanced • 5YS = 20.6% • 51% = metastatic • 5YS = 2.8% • 8% = unkown • 5YS = 8.3%
Prognostic and Predictive Biomarkers • Prognostic: • Indicative of survival independent of therapy • Indicates innate tumor aggressiveness • ERCC1 (high expression = better prognosis) • K-ras mutation = poor prognosis • RRM1 (high expression = better prognosis) • Predictive: • Indicative of therapeutic efficaciy • EGFR mutation (E19del, L858R) = response to EGFR TKI • ERCC1 (high expression = poor response to platinum) • K-ras mutation = lack of benefit from EGFR TKI and platinum/vinorelbine • RRM1 (high expression = poor eresponse to Gemzar)
TREATMENT • Surgery • Lobectomy is preferred over pneumonectomy • Any surgical resection is preferred over ablation • Radiation Therapy • Chemotherapy
Surgery • Lobectomy is preferred over pneumonectomy • Any surgical resection is preferred over ablation
Segmentectomy (preferred) or Wedge Resection • Not good surgical candidates • Peripheral nodule < 2cm with at least one of the following • Pure BAC histology • > 50% ground glass appearance on CT • Doubling time > 400 days

Surgery Chemotherapy • ANITA (AdjNavelbine International Trialist Association) trial: • Stage IB, II, IIIA (840 pts) • Vinorelbine/Cisvs Observation • 76m f/u: MS 65.7 vs 43.7m • Adj chemo improved 5YS in stage II-IIIA • No benefit in stage I
Surgery Chemotherapy 4. CALGB 9633 • Stage IB (344 pts) • Paclitaxel/Carbovs Observation • 3Y OS: 79 vs 70 (P=0.45) • 4Y OS: No diff • Subset analysis: Benefit tumor >4cm
Surgery Chemotherapy Summary • Meta-analysis in 4,584 pts (the Lung AdjCisplatin Evaluation) • PostopCis-based adj increased survival over 5Y • Absolute benefit 5.4% • No diff among regimens (Vinorelbine, VP, others) • Benefit greater in stage II-III and good PS • Paclitaxel/Carbo if pt cannot tolerates Cisplatin
Unresectable IIIA/IIIB • ChemoRT is superior to RT alone • Concurrent chemoRT • Superior to Sequential • Higher rate of G3-4 esophagitis • Initial concurrent chemoRT: • Cis/VP (preferred) • Cis/Vinorelbine (preferred) • Taxol/Carbo (category 2B)

Definition Treatment beyond 4-6 cycles of 1st line chemotherapy in the absence of disease progression. • Selection of drug depends on histology and pt P.S.
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE THERAPY • Continuation Maintenance: • Continuing 1st line cheotherapy • For a limited number of cycles • Until progression or toxicity • No randomized trial supporting continuation of cytotoxic drugs • Continuing the non-platinum drug • Gemzar • Pemetrexed • Non-squamous, EGFR mutation negative or unknown • Continuing the same targeted therapy • Bevacizumab(FDA appoved) • Cetuximab • Non-squamous, EGFR mutation negative or unknown
TYPES OF MAINTENANCE THERAPY • Switch Maintenance: • Switching to a different drug • Pemetrexed(FDA approved) • Targeted: Erlotinib(FDA approved), Gefitinib • Cytotoxic: Vinorelbine, • Adding a second targeted agent after chemo • Erlotinib to Bevacizumab
TARCEVA: maintenanceSATURN (Sequential Tarceva in Unresectable NSCLC) • Have two co primary end points: • PFS in the entire intent-to-treat population • PFS in pts with EGFR-positive tumors on the basis of IHC • It was large and well powered, • It was placebo controlled, following 1st line platinum-based • It met both of its primary end points with: • Significant prolongation of PFS in the intent-to-treat and the EGFR IHC-positive populations. • However, the median PFS prolongation for both populations was of only questionable clinical relevance (despite strong statistical significance) with only 1 month median benefit. • OS also was significantly prolonged in both populations, but once again with only modest absolute improvements.
