Thankyou moderator, today I will present my jurnal reading with the title
Multimodality Treatment of Advanced Non-small Cell Lung Cancer: Where are we with the
Evidence?
Slide 2:
Lung cancer
Lung cancer is the most common malignancy worldwide with over 1.8 million new cases diagnosed
each year.
Overall survival is poor and only around 15% of patients are alive 5 years after their initial diagnosis
Approximately 85% of lung cancers are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)
Slide 3
A classification that amongst others encompasses small cell ca 15%, NSCLC 85% and devided to
Squamous 30% and non squamous 70%. Adenocarsinoma 90% and large cell ca 10%
Slidee 4
Slice 5
Adenocarsinoma most common form, usually begins in the outer regions of the lung
Squamous cell ca Tend to cause early symptom, usually begins in th bronchial tube
Large Cell ca tends to grow rappidly and cause late symptom, usually begins in the outer edges of
the lung
Slide 6
For patients with NSCLC, treatment options vary significantly by disease extent but have
considerably evolved across all disease stages
This article outlines the current and emerging impacts of these advances on the multimodality
treatment of advanced NSCLC within the specific settings of locally advanced and oligometastatic
disease
Slide 7
Slide 8
Slide 9
Staging of NSCLC is assessed using the 8th version of the TNM staging system
For the small proportion of patients who present with early (stages I and II) NSCLC, resection remains
the gold-standard treatment.
Slide 10
Overall survival following surgery is encouraging; 52–89% of patients with stage I disease and
between 33 and 52% with stage II cancer survive 5 years
Adjuvant chemotherapy may be of benefit in a subset of patients with stage IB tumours exceeding 4
cm in size.
Patients with early stages who cannot undergo surgery can be given SBRT (stereotactic body
radiotherapy)
Slide 11
Adjuvant chemotherapy, broadly defined as chemotherapy given after surgery to reduce the risk of
recurrence, is recommended for completely resected stages II and III disease.
Adjuvant chemotherapy in NSCLC is in an attempt to reduce the rate of distant metastatic spread,
such as to the brain, liver, and adrenal glands.
Slide 12
Resectable disease typically includes T4N0 tumours for which complete (R0) resection is considered
by a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) to be feasible.
Slide 13
in contrast to resectable disease, the management of unresectable stage III NSCLC with definitive
chemoradiotherapy is now well standardised
Slide 14
Slide 15
Slide 16
A type of metastasis in which cancer cells from the primary tumor spread throughout the body and
form a small number of new tumors (metastatic tumors) in one or two other parts of the body.
Slide 17
Slide 18
Synchronous cancers were defined as those occurring within 6 months of the first primary cancer,
while metachronous cancers were defined as those occurring more than 6 months later (12). Overall
survival was defined as the time from first primary cancer diagnosis to death (of any cause).
Slide 19
Platinum-based palliative cytotoxic chemotherapy forms the mainstay of treatment for 30-50% of
patients with NSCLC who present with metastases.
Slide 20
Slide 21
Surgery
● The surgical approach to oligometastatic disease varies according to the extent and location
of the metastases
● The type of surgery depends on the size and location of the tumor:
1. Segment resection is the removal of a small portion of the lung; may be performed in very early
stages of cancer
2. Lobectomy is the removal of a lobe of the lung; is the standard surgical treatment for NSCLC
3. Pneumonectomy is the removal of one lung; is a more complex surgical resection procedure than
a lobectomy or wedge (segment) resection.
Slide 22
- Radiotherapy therapy using measured doses of radiation to destroy cancer cells and
prevent their growth
Slide 23
The management of oligometastatic disease involves the use of thermal ablative therapies such as
radiofrequency ablation—RFA (also known as image-guided thermal ablation (IGTA), cryoablation
and microwave ablation (MWA).
RFA is the technique and function most extensively evaluated by inducing coagulation necrosis of
the lung parenchyma.
Slide 24
Treatment of oligometastatic disease will involve surgery, RT, and focal interventional-radiology-
guided ablative techniques in a manner that depends on the patient's comorbidities and the location
of the metastases.
studies to date have combined this intervention with chemotherapy and targeted inhibition of EGFR
and ALK, which to date have become the standard of care for stage IV NSCLC.
Immunotherapy is a growing area in lung cancer and is likely to make a significant impact in stage IV
disease.
Slide 25
Conclusion
● The evoluti on of radiotherapy technology, surgical techniques and the large number of
interventional radiology-guided ablative therapies are expanding the choice of treatment
modalities available to patients with NSCLC.
● In the treatment of locally advanced resectable disease and oligometastatic states, there is a
growing need for randomized comparisons of available treatment modalities to guide
treatment and patient selection.
