Lung cancer: Epidemiology • Most common cancer in the world • 2./ 3. most cancer in men / women • 1.2 million new cases / year • 1.1 million deaths / year • Incidence • Men 1940-80: 10 70/100000/J • Women 1965-: 5 30/100000/J
Lung cancer: Epidemiology • 13% of cancers, • 18% of cancer deaths • Switzerland 3500 new cases / year • 80% die during the first year • Prognosis remains dismal: • five-year survival 10-14%
Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer • 75 % of all lung cancers • Majority of patients present with stage III and IV
NSCLC: Histology • Squamos-cell carcinoma 20-25% • Adenocarcinoma 40% • Large cell carcinoma 10%
NSCLC: Staging • Staging Locoregional Disease: • Chest x-ray and chest CT scan (including liver and adrenal glands) • No evidence of distant metastatic disease: FDG-PET ist recommended • Biopsy of mediastinal LN ist recommended: CT-scan > 1.0 cm or positive on PET neg. PET scanning does not preclude biopsy ASCO Guideline 2004;22:330
NSCLC: Staging • Staging Distant Metastatic Disease: • No evidence of distant metastatic disease on CT scan of the chest: PET ist recommended • A bone scan is optional • Resectable primary lung lesion and bone lesion on PET/bone scan: MRI/CT and biopsy • Brain: CT or MRI if symptoms, patients with stage III considered for aggressive local Th. • Isolated adrenal mass: biopsy • Isolated liver mass: biopsy ASCO Guideline 2004;22:330
Local NSCLC: Stage I, II • Standard of care = Surgery • Relapse rate 35%-50% in St. I • Relapse rate 40%-60% in St. II • Adjuvant radiotherapy ? • Adjuvant chemotherapy ?
Adjuvant Radiotherapy • Port meta-analysis Trialist Group. Lancet 1998;352:257 • 9 randomised trials of postoperative RT versus surgery (2128 patients) • 21% relative increase in the risk of death with RT • Reduction of OS from 55% to 48% (at 2 years) • Adverse effect was greatest for Stage I,II • St.III (N2): no clear evidence of an adverse effect
Adjuvant Radiotherapy • Conclusion • Postoperative RT should not be used outside of a clinical trial in Stage I, II lung cancer, unless surgical margins are positive and repeated resection is not feasible.
Adjuvant Chemotherapy • Undetectable microscopic metastasis at diagnosis • Individual trials have not shown a significant benefit • Meta-analysis BMJ 1995;311:899: • Alkylating agents had an adverse effect • Cisplatin-based therapy: 13% reduction in risk of death (not significant)
Postoperative Chemo- and Radiotherapy • ECOG-Trial: 488 patients with stage II, IIIA • RT alone (50.4 Gy) versus RT + 4x Cisplatin/Etoposid • Median survival 39 vs 38 months (ns) • TRM 1.2 vs 1.6% • Local recurrence 13 vs 12% Keller et al. NEJM 2000;343:1217

Adjuvant Chemotherapy • Conclusion: • One should consider the use of adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with stage I,II or IIA NSCLC
Locally advanced NSCLC • Thoracic irradiation is the mainstay of treatment for inoperable stage III disease • Its curative potential is extremely poor 5-year survival rates 3-5%
Locally advanced NSCLC • A meta-analysis of 22 randomised studies showed a beneficial effect of CT added to RT • 10% reduction in risk of death per year • Small absolute survival benefit: 4% after 2 years 2% after 5 years NSCLC Collaborative Group. BMJ 1995;311:899

Conclusion: Combined-Modality Therapy for Stage III Disease • Adding CT to radiation therapy improves survival and alters the course of this disease • Phase III studies suggest improvement in both local control and survival with concomitant CT-RT • Combined CT-RT should be the standard of care of patients with good PS and minimal weight loss • The absolute gain from combined CT-RT is still modest • The role of surgery following induction CT-RT is for patients with unresectable Cancer is being explored
