  1. University of Rome “Sapienza”Department of Thoracic Surgery WHAT SHOULD CHANGE IN LUNG CANCER STAGING

  2. AIMS of TNM • Use the same language worldwhile • Pool patients with similar disease • Differentiate prognosis and treatment • Avoid overlapping prognosis • Compare data worldwide

  3. HISTORY • 1946 Union Internationale Contre Cancer (UICC) TNM System • 1959 American Joint Commette for Cancer (AJCC) Staging • 1966 UICC TNM and Staging • 1974 UICC e AJCC • 1986 International Staging System UICC e AJCC (IV Internat. Congr. Lung Ca.) Mountain • 1997 Revision of the International Staging System of Lung Cancer. Mountain CF. Chest 1997; 111:1710-17 • 2009 The hypothetical next…

  4. WHERE WE ARE

  5. WHERE WE ARE • 0 Carcinoma in situ • IA T1N0M0 • IB T2N0M0 • IIA T1N1M0 • IIB T2N1M0, T3N0M0 • IIIA T3N1M0, any N2 • IIIB Any T4, any N3 • IV Any T and any N M1

  6. WHERE WE ARE

  7. WHERE WE ARE

  8. HYPOTHESIS • In small-size tumors the diameter is a prognostic factor? • Different prognosis in the same T factor with different sites of invasion? • How much important is the nodal status? • Are other subgroups important in the N status ?

  9. OPEN QUESTIONS • T1 Size • T2 larger 5 cm T3 ? • T3 – T4: Site of invasion • T4 satellite – T4 invasion • N1: single – multiple; micro – macro

  10. T1: SIZE OF THE TUMORLiterature Watch

  11. STAGE IB – IIA J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. Aug 2006;132: 316-9

  12. STAGE IB – IIA • Year 1994 only – 6644 Patients • Multicenter retrospective review • T1a≤ 2 cm • T1b > 2.1 – 3 cm Now Then • IA T1N0M0 T1aN0M0 • IB T2N0M0 T1bN0M0 • IIA T1N1M0 T2N0M0 + T1N1M0

  13. STAGE IB – IIA CLINICAL PATHOLOGIC J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. Aug 2006;132: 316-9

  14. STAGE IB – IIA CLINICAL PATHOLOGIC • Stages IB and IIA merged as new IIA • Cut-off T1a vs T1b ≤ 2 cm J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. Aug 2006;132: 316-9

  15. T2 LARGER THAN 5 CM … T3? J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 2001;122:907-12

  16. T2 LARGER THAN 5 CM … T3? • 545 Patients (T > 3 cm) • Same nodal status • 3 Groups (3.1 – 5 cm, 5.1 – 7 cm, > 7 cm) • T2a ≤ 5 cm vs T2b > 5 cm

  17. T2 LARGER THAN 5 CM … T3? J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 2001;122:907-12

  18. T2 LARGER THAN 5 CM … T3? J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 2001;122:907-12 WHEN THE TUMOR IS LARGER THAN 5 CM THE PROGNOSIS IS THE SAME

  19. T2 LARGER THAN 5 CM … T3? J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 2001;122:907-12

  20. T2 LARGER THAN 5 CM … T3? • T2b poorer survival than T2a • T2b upgraded to T3 • Nodal status has addictive effect

  21. STAGE III J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 2002;124:503-10 • Overall 429 Patients • 73 IIIA and 79 IIIB

  22. STAGE III J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 2002;124:503-10 IN THIS SERIES no difference in survival between IIIA and IIIB

  23. STAGE III J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 2002;124:503-10 IN THIS SERIES no difference in survival between T3 and T4

  24. STAGE III Overall 429 Patients 73 IIIA and 79 IIIB • T3 bronchial vs T3 extrapulmonary • T4 tracheal, T4 satellite, T4 extrapulmonary, T4 malignant exudate • Complete surgical resection for T3 • R0 resections for T4

  25. STAGE III T3 T4 J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 2002;124:503-10

  26. STAGE III T3 BRONCHIAL T2 T4 SATELLITE & TRACHEAL T3

  27. RECLASSIFICATION J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 2002;124:503-10

  28. STAGE III • T3 bronchial downstaged to T2 • T4 tracheal and satellite downstaged to T3 • Better survival for R0 T3 and T4 • Surgical curativity should be taken into account in the reevaluation of staging

  29. T4 SATELLITE vs INVASION Ann. Thorac. Surg.2006;82:1808-14

  30. T4 SATELLITE vs INVASION • Overall 337 Patients • T4N0M0 Satellite (n=26) • T4N0M0 Invasion (n=25) • T4 pleural effusion excluded

  31. T4 SATELLITE vs INVASION N0 Ann. Thorac. Surg.2006;82:1808-14

  32. T4 SATELLITE vs INVASION Ann. Thorac. Surg.2006;82:1808-14 PET UPTAKE!!!!!

  33. T4 SATELLITE vs INVASION • Separation of heterogeneous types of T4 • T4N0M0 Satellite should be downstaged • MaxSUV should be taken into account as best predictor

  34. N1 INVOLVEMENT Lung Cancer 2004;43:151-7

  35. N1 INVOLVEMENT Lung Cancer 2004;43:151-7

  36. N1 SINGLE vs MULTIPLE Lung Cancer 2004;43:151-7

  37. N1 MICRO vs MACRO Lung Cancer 2004;43:151-7

  38. N1 INVOLVEMENT • Micro and single-node N1 downstaged respect macro and multiple-node N1 • Different therapeutic approaches for subgroups

  39. FUTURE

  40. FUTURE

  41. FUTURE

  42. WHERE ARE WE GOING? • It is necessary new staging (2009?) • T factor is a good target • MaxSUV could be a better survival predictor than TNM • Genomic studies ?????? • Long-term survival is affected not only by staging but first of all by treatment…
