Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of patients with recurrent or advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) or immune-checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) who developed secondary malignancies, as well as evaluate the impact of these secondary malignancies on the course of lung cancer.
Materials and methods: This study included 112 patients with postoperative recurrent or advanced NSCLC, who received TKIs, ICIs, or immune combination therapy as the primary treatment modality between April 1, 2013, and March 31, 2020, and achieved long-term survival (≥2 years). Secondary malignancies were defined as newly diagnosed cancers in other organs occurring after NSCLC treatment initiation.
Results: Among the 112 patients, 10 (8.9%) developed 12 carcinomas, including third primary malignancies. Univariate analysis, considering secondary malignancies as the outcome, revealed a non-significant trend towards a higher incidence of secondary malignancies in smokers compared to non-smokers.
Conclusion: This study found that 8.9% of patients with advanced NSCLC who received TKIs, ICIs, or immune combination therapy and survived ≥2 years developed secondary malignancies. This underscores the importance of early diagnosis and treatment, even during lung cancer treatment, to identify suspicious lesions in other organs either via imaging or physical examinations.
期刊介绍:
Thoracic Cancer aims to facilitate international collaboration and exchange of comprehensive and cutting-edge information on basic, translational, and applied clinical research in lung cancer, esophageal cancer, mediastinal cancer, breast cancer and other thoracic malignancies. Prevention, treatment and research relevant to Asia-Pacific is a focus area, but submissions from all regions are welcomed. The editors encourage contributions relevant to prevention, general thoracic surgery, medical oncology, radiology, radiation medicine, pathology, basic cancer research, as well as epidemiological and translational studies in thoracic cancer. Thoracic Cancer is the official publication of the Chinese Society of Lung Cancer, International Chinese Society of Thoracic Surgery and is endorsed by the Korean Association for the Study of Lung Cancer and the Hong Kong Cancer Therapy Society.
The Journal publishes a range of article types including: Editorials, Invited Reviews, Mini Reviews, Original Articles, Clinical Guidelines, Technological Notes, Imaging in thoracic cancer, Meeting Reports, Case Reports, Letters to the Editor, Commentaries, and Brief Reports.
