Abstract

Objective: The aim of the study is to evaluate early and long-term results of chest wall primary Ewing's sarcoma patients treated in the time period February 2000–February 2023 by a multidisciplinary approach. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the medical records of patients who underwent chest wall resection for a primary tumor. Treatment approach, extent of resection, 30-day mortality, overall survival (OS), local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), and metastasis-free survival (MFS) were analyzed. Results: Overall, n = 15 consecutive patients were treated for chest wall primary Ewing's sarcoma. A median of n = 3 ribs was resected with a median of n = 2 ribs adjacent to the lesion. Resections were extended to the adjacent structures in n = 5 patients (33.3%). In all cases, we performed a prosthetic reconstruction, associated with muscle flap (n = 10, 66.6%) or with rigid titanium bars and muscle flap (n = 6, 40%). A radical resection was accomplished in n = 13 patients (84.6%). The median surgical time was 310 ± 120 min; median hospitalization was 7.8 ± 1.9 days. Post-operative mortality was zero. We recorded n = 4 (30.7%) post-operative complication. The median follow-up (FU) was 26 months. Moreover, 5-year overall and event-free survival were 52% and 48%, respectively. Conclusions: This case series confirms the benefit of the multidisciplinary approach for Ewing sarcomas in early and long-term results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

30. Post-operative and early oncological results of simple and complex full thoracoscopic segmentectomies for non-small-cell lung cancer.

Author

Abstract

Background: The role of video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy in the treatment of clinical IA non-small-cell lung cancer is not well established. The aim of our retrospective analysis was to evaluate the oncological results of complex and simple video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy. Methods: From 2015 to June 2020, data of n = 163 consecutive patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy for solitary pulmonary nodule were analysed. The Kaplan–Meier method, log-rank test and Cox regression were used to estimate, compare survivals and identify risk factors of worse oncological outcomes. Results: In this period, n = 123 patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy for non-small-cell lung cancer: we performed n = 65 simple and n = 58 complex video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy; n = 99 (80.5%) had a solid appearance on computed tomography scan and n = 78 (63.4%) a moderate-to-high [18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (FDG)-positron emission tomographic computed tomography scan avidity. Mortality was 0%, and complications occurred in n = 14 (21.5%) and 9 (15.5%) patients. The median follow-up was 24 (range: 6−60) months and the 5-year overall survival was 96% without difference between video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomies (p = 0.16). Local recurrence developed in n = 2 (3.1%) and n = 3 (5.2%) patients; regional in n = 2 (3.1%) and 1 (1.8%) and distant in 8 (12.3%) and 2 (3.4%), without difference between video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomies (p = 0.51). The overall 5-year disease-free survival rate was 78%. Pathological upstaging was observed in n = 13 patients (nodal in n = 6, tumour in n = 7) and it was the only significant factor for worse disease-free survival at the multivariable analysis (hazard ratio: 2.43, 95% CI: 1.04−8.68, p = 0.049), value confirmed also in the group of intended video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy (p = 0.047). Conclusions: Pathological upstaging after simple or complex video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy is a risk factor for recurrence and then video-assisted thoracoscopic segmentectomy should be considered an appropriate therapeutic option for selected stage IA non-small-cell lung cancer patients.

Abstract

Open in new tab Download slide OBJECTIVES This study reports the results of an international expert consensus process evaluating the assessment of intraoperative air leaks (IAL) and treatment of postoperative prolonged air leaks (PAL) utilizing a Delphi process, with the aim of helping standardization and improving practice. METHODS A panel of 45 questions was developed and submitted to an international working group of experts in minimally invasive lung cancer surgery. Modified Delphi methodology was used to review responses, including 3 rounds of voting. The consensus was defined a priori as >50% agreement among the experts. Clinical practice standards were graded as recommended or highly recommended if 50–74% or >75% of the experts reached an agreement, respectively. RESULTS A total of 32 experts from 18 countries completed the questionnaires in all 3 rounds. Respondents agreed that PAL are defined as >5 days and that current risk models are rarely used. The consensus was reached in 33/45 issues (73.3%). IAL were classified as mild (<100 ml/min; 81%), moderate (100–400 ml/min; 71%) and severe (>400 ml/min; 74%). If mild IAL are detected, 68% do not treat; if moderate, consensus was not; if severe, 90% favoured treatment. CONCLUSIONS This expert consensus working group reached an agreement on the majority of issues regarding the detection and management of IAL and PAL. In the absence of prospective, randomized evidence supporting most of these clinical decisions, this document may serve as a guideline to reduce practice variation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) increased detection of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs), changing the management based on radiological and clinical factors. When 18-fluorine fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography combined with computed tomography ( 18 F-FDG-PET/CT) was considered for the evaluation of nodules, the maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) more than 2.5 is used frequently as a cut off for malignancy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate SUVmax PET/CT and pulmonary attenuation patterns at MSCT in patients with SPN according to morphological and pathological characteristics of the lesion. Methods: A retrospective study on 1,592 SPN patients was carried out following approval by the Italian Registry of VATS Lobectomies. Results: All patients underwent VATS lobectomy. On histologic examination, 98.1% had primary or second metachronous primary lung cancers. In addition, 10.7% presented occult lymph node metastases (pN1 or pN2) on histological examination. Nodule attenuation on CT was associated with the histology of the lesion (p= 0.030); in particular, pure ground glass opacities (pGGOs) and partially solid nodules were related to adenocarcinomatous histotypes. Conversely, a significant relationship between SUVmax and age, nodule size, pathological node status (pN) was found (P=0.007, P=0.000 and P=0.002 respectively). Conclusions: Nodule attenuation can predict the histology of the lesion whereas SUVmax may relate to the propensity to lymph node metastases.

Abstract

The article discusses the role of minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in the treatment of T4 non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC), which are locally advanced tumors. The article highlights that MIS is feasible and safe in properly selected patients, with comparable outcomes to traditional open surgery. However, there are still unanswered questions regarding which subtypes of T4 tumors can be effectively managed with MIS. The article emphasizes the importance of a multimodality approach and the need for further research to determine the optimal use of MIS in the treatment of T4 NSCLC. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

OBJECTIVES The Italian VATS Group database was accessed to evaluate whether preoperative and intraoperative factors may affect the safety of lymphadenectomy (LA) during video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy. METHODS All video-assisted thoracic surgery lobectomy procedures performed between 1 January 2014 and 30 March 2017 for non-small-cell lung cancer with cN0 or cN1 disease were identified in the database. LA safety was evaluated based on intraoperative (operative time, bleeding and conversion rate) and postoperative (30-day morbidity and mortality, chest drain duration and length of stay) outcomes and was correlated with the number of resected lymph nodes and the rates of nodal upstaging. Continuous variables were presented as mean ± standard deviation and compared using the unpaired t-test; the X2 test was used for categorical variables. Univariable analysis was performed on selected variables. Significant variables (P < 0.30) were entered into a Cox multivariable logistic regression model, using the overall and specific occurrence of complications as dependent variables. The Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was applied as needed. RESULTS A total of 3181 cases (2077 men, 65.3%; mean age of 69 years) met the enrolment criteria. Final pathology was consistent with adenocarcinoma (n = 2262, 67.5%), squamous cell (n = 520, 15.5%), typical (n = 184, 5.5%) and atypical carcinoid (n = 48, 1.4%) and other (n = 335, 10%). The mean number of resected lymph nodes was 13.42 ± 8.24; nodal upstaging occurred in 308 of 3181 (9.68%) cases. Six hundred and fifty-five complications were recorded in 404 (12.7%) patients; in this series, no mortality was observed. Univariable and multivariable analyses did not show any association between the extension of LA and intraoperative or postoperative outcomes. The number of resected lymph nodes and nodal upstagings showed a minimal correlation with intraoperative outcomes and a moderate correlation with postoperative air leak (p = 0.35 and p = 0.48, respectively), arrhythmia (p = 0.29 and p = 0.35, respectively), chest drain duration (p = 0.35 and p = 0.51, respectively) and length of stay (p = 0.35). CONCLUSIONS Based on the VATS Group data, video-assisted thoracic surgery LA proved to be safe and displayed good outcomes even when performed with an extended approach.
