SCLC is a high-grade neuroendocrine malignancy associated with poor prognosis, comprising 15% of lung cancer cases globally. Advances in genetic profiling have revealed that SCLC is a molecularly heterogeneous disease, categorized into subtypes such as SCLC-A, SCLC-N, SCLC-P, and SCLC-I, on the basis of their neuroendocrine and immune-related characteristics. This heterogeneity underscores the need for tailored therapeutic strategies.
Large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) shares histologic and molecular similarities with SCLC but remains a distinct entity. LCNEC is categorized into two major subtypes: Type I, characterized by STK11 and KEAP1 mutations and a neuroendocrine phenotype, and Type II, defined by TP53 and RB1 alterations with higher proliferative indices. LCNEC's rarity and molecular diversity present challenges for standardized treatment, further highlighting the need for comparative research with SCLC.
In this review, we highlight the genetic and clinicopathologic features of SCLC and LCNEC. Furthermore, we discuss emerging therapeutics and future directions in the treatment of SCLC and LCNEC.
SCLC是一种预后不良的高级别神经内分泌恶性肿瘤,占全球肺癌病例的15%。遗传图谱的进展表明,SCLC是一种分子异质性疾病,根据其神经内分泌和免疫相关特征可分为SCLC- a、SCLC- n、SCLC- p和SCLC- i等亚型。这种异质性强调了定制治疗策略的必要性。大细胞神经内分泌癌(LCNEC)与SCLC具有组织学和分子相似性,但仍然是一个不同的实体。LCNEC分为两大亚型:I型,以STK11和KEAP1突变和神经内分泌表型为特征;II型,以TP53和RB1改变为特征,具有较高的增殖指数。LCNEC的罕见性和分子多样性为标准化治疗带来了挑战,进一步强调了与SCLC进行比较研究的必要性。在这篇综述中,我们强调SCLC和LCNEC的遗传和临床病理特征。此外,我们还讨论了SCLC和LCNEC治疗的新疗法和未来发展方向。

Introduction

Lenvatinib, an orally administered multitargeted kinase inhibitor, has exhibited antitumor activity against several cancer types, including thymic carcinomas. Although “disease flare” (a rapid worsening of the tumor on the discontinuation of lenvatinib) has been reported, such cases are rare in thymic carcinoma. Understanding this phenomenon is clinically significant, as it may cause rapid deterioration requiring urgent therapeutic intervention and patient death. This retrospective study aimed to determine the frequency and characteristics of disease flares in patients with thymic carcinoma.

Methods

We retrospectively reviewed the records of patients with thymic carcinoma who received lenvatinib between January 2018 and March 2024 at the National Cancer Center Hospital in Tokyo, Japan. Patients were categorized into flare and nonflare groups, with their characteristics, clinical outcomes, and genetic profiles compared.

Results

Of the 52 patients, four patients (8%) experienced disease flares after lenvatinib failure. Baseline characteristics according to the presence of disease flares after discontinuation revealed no significant differences. All four patients experienced increased pleural effusions within 1 week of lenvatinib discontinuation. Progression-free survival (p = 0.307) or objective response rates (p = 0.257) did not differ significantly between the flare and nonflare groups regarding lenvatinib treatment efficacy. Similarly, 24 of the 52 patients underwent comprehensive genomic profiling using next-generation sequencing platforms and RNA sequencing. In the flare group, KIT mutations occurred in 50% of patients, with KMT2C mutations being significantly more common (p = 0.022).

Conclusions

The discontinuation of lenvatinib in patients with thymic carcinoma caused disease flare in 8% of cases, with KMT2C and KIT mutations emerging as potential contributing factors. These findings suggest that molecular profiling helps in identifying patients at high risk of disease flare and informs future treatment sequencing strategies.
lenvatinib是一种口服多靶点激酶抑制剂,对包括胸腺癌在内的几种癌症具有抗肿瘤活性。虽然有“疾病发作”(停止lenvatinib后肿瘤迅速恶化)的报道,但这种情况在胸腺癌中很少见。了解这一现象在临床上具有重要意义,因为它可能导致病情迅速恶化,需要紧急治疗干预和患者死亡。本回顾性研究旨在确定胸腺癌患者疾病发作的频率和特征。方法回顾性分析2018年1月至2024年3月在日本东京国立癌症中心医院接受lenvatinib治疗的胸腺癌患者的记录。将患者分为耀斑组和非耀斑组,比较他们的特征、临床结果和遗传谱。结果在52例患者中,4例(8%)患者在lenvatinib失效后出现疾病发作。根据停药后疾病爆发的基线特征显示无显著差异。所有4例患者在lenvatinib停药1周内均出现胸腔积液增加。无进展生存期(p = 0.307)或客观缓解率(p = 0.257)在耀发组和非耀发组之间关于lenvatinib治疗效果没有显著差异。同样,52例患者中有24例使用下一代测序平台和RNA测序进行了全面的基因组分析。在耀斑组中,50%的患者发生KIT突变,KMT2C突变更为常见(p = 0.022)。结论胸腺癌患者停用lenvatinib导致8%的病例出现疾病爆发,KMT2C和KIT突变是潜在的促成因素。这些发现表明,分子谱分析有助于识别疾病爆发高风险患者,并为未来的治疗测序策略提供信息。

Introduction

Selpercatinib’s consistent efficacy and manageable safety profile were observed in patients with RET fusion–positive NSCLC across geographies in single-arm studies (LIBRETTO-001 and LIBRETTO-321). Here, we report the efficacy and safety of the phase 3 study LIBRETTO-431 in patients from East Asia.

Methods

LIBRETTO-431 (NCT04194944) is a randomized, open-label phase 3 trial comparing first-line selpercatinib versus pemetrexed and platinum with or without pembrolizumab. Geography (East Asia versus non-East Asia) was a stratification factor. Efficacy end points including progression-free survival (PFS), objective response rate, and duration of response as assessed by means of blinded independent central review were evaluated in patients from East Asia. Pharmacokinetics were assessed in the selpercatinib group. Safety data were collected for all patients who received at least one dose of study treatment.

Results

Of the 261 patients enrolled, 142 (54.4%) were from East Asia, with 116 randomized to the intention-to-treat-pembrolizumab population (selpercatinib: n = 75, control: n = 41). With a median follow-up of 19.4 and 21.2 months in the selpercatinib and control groups respectively, the median PFS in patients from East Asia was not yet reached for selpercatinib (95% confidence interval (CI): 16.4–not evaluable) versus 11.1 months (95% CI: 7.0–16.8) for control (hazard ratio: 0.38 [95%CI: 0.22–0.68]; p = 0.0008). Safety and pharmacokinetics were consistent with those previously reported across the development program and adverse events were generally manageable with dose adjustments.

Conclusions

Consistent with results in the overall LIBRETTO-431 population, selpercatinib exhibited superior PFS compared with chemotherapy plus pembrolizumab in patients from East Asia with a manageable safety profile. These data further highlight the importance of early comprehensive genomic testing and the use of selpercatinib as a preferred first-line regimen in patients with RET fusion–positive NSCLC across geographies.
在单臂研究(LIBRETTO-001和LIBRETTO-321)中,selpercatinib在不同地区的RET融合阳性NSCLC患者中具有一致的疗效和可管理的安全性。在此,我们报告了3期研究LIBRETTO-431在东亚患者中的有效性和安全性。方法:slibretto -431 (NCT04194944)是一项随机、开放标签的3期试验,比较了一线selpercatinib与培美曲塞和铂在使用或不使用派姆单抗时的疗效。地理(东亚与非东亚)是一个分层因素。疗效终点包括无进展生存期(PFS)、客观缓解率和持续时间,通过盲法独立中心评价在东亚患者中进行评估。观察自泊替尼组的药代动力学。收集了所有接受至少一剂研究治疗的患者的安全性数据。在纳入的261例患者中,142例(54.4%)来自东亚,其中116例随机分配到意向治疗派姆单抗人群(selpercatinib: n = 75,对照组:n = 41)。selpercatinib组和对照组的中位随访时间分别为19.4和21.2个月,selpercatinib组东亚患者的中位PFS尚未达到(95%置信区间(CI): 16.4 -不可评估),而对照组的中位PFS为11.1个月(95% CI: 7.0-16.8)(风险比:0.38 [95%CI: 0.22-0.68]; p = 0.0008)。安全性和药代动力学与先前在整个开发项目中报道的一致,不良事件通常可以通过剂量调整来控制。与LIBRETTO-431总体人群的结果一致,selpercatinib在东亚患者中与化疗加派姆单抗相比表现出更高的PFS,并且具有可控的安全性。这些数据进一步强调了早期全面基因组检测的重要性,以及将selpercatinib作为RET融合阳性NSCLC患者首选一线治疗方案的重要性。

Introduction

The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic disrupted cancer care delivery globally, with many jurisdictions reporting reductions in lung cancer diagnoses and delays in treatment. In Ontario, Canada, both institutional and provincial data have reported mixed trends in NSCLC presentation and care. This study aimed to assess the short-term impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on NSCLC diagnoses and treatment pathways across Ontario using population-level data from Cancer Care Ontario administrative health databases.

Methods

We conducted a retrospective cohort study of patients diagnosed with NSCLC in Ontario between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2020. The cohort was created using relevant diagnostic codes and linked provincial databases to evaluate diagnostic trends and access to surgical, medical, and radiation oncology services. Statistical analyses included Poisson regression to assess changes in diagnosis rates and multivariable linear regressions to evaluate wait times, adjusting for age, sex, income quintile, and geographic region.

Results

A total of 13,407 NSCLC cases were identified. There was a 6% overall decline in diagnoses in 2020, with a 31% drop during quarter 2 (April–June 2020). The mean wait times for surgical consultation and treatment and also medical and radiation oncology consults improved or remained stable. No delays were found in systemic therapy initiation. Multivariable analyses confirmed these findings.

Conclusions

NSCLC care delivery in Ontario remained stable during the early pandemic period. Declines in diagnosis warrant further investigation using longer-term data. Real-time data systems are essential for future pandemic preparedness and response.
2019年冠状病毒病大流行扰乱了全球癌症护理服务,许多司法管辖区报告肺癌诊断减少和治疗延误。在加拿大安大略省,机构和省级数据都报告了非小细胞肺癌的表现和治疗的混合趋势。本研究旨在利用安大略省癌症护理行政卫生数据库的人口水平数据,评估2019年冠状病毒病大流行对安大略省非小细胞肺癌诊断和治疗途径的短期影响。方法:我们对2019年1月1日至2020年12月31日在安大略省诊断为NSCLC的患者进行了回顾性队列研究。该队列是使用相关诊断代码和关联的省级数据库创建的,以评估诊断趋势和获得外科、医疗和放射肿瘤学服务的机会。统计分析包括泊松回归来评估诊断率的变化,多变量线性回归来评估等待时间,调整年龄、性别、收入五分位数和地理区域。结果共检出NSCLC病例13407例。2020年的诊断总体下降了6%,第二季度(2020年4月至6月)下降了31%。外科会诊和治疗以及内科和放射肿瘤学会诊的平均等待时间有所改善或保持稳定。未发现全身治疗开始延迟。多变量分析证实了这些发现。结论安大略省snsclc的护理在大流行早期保持稳定。诊断率的下降需要使用长期数据进行进一步调查。实时数据系统对于未来的大流行防范和应对至关重要。

Despite the efficacy of osimertinib in the first-line treatment of advanced EGFR-mutated NSCLC, the development of resistance is nearly inevitable. BRAF mutations and fusions are reported in 1% to 3% of patients with EGFR-mutated NSCLC receiving osimertinib and represent potential targetable alterations.
In this case report, we discuss the rationale for EGFR-MEK co-inhibition in a patient with EGFR-mutated NSCLC treated with osimertinib that developed a CTNNA1-BRAF fusion at progression. In addition, we provide a brief overview of the current evidence of BRAF fusions as an acquired resistance mechanism to osimertinib and potential treatment strategies.
尽管奥西替尼在一线治疗晚期egfr突变的NSCLC有疗效,但耐药的发展几乎是不可避免的。在接受奥西替尼治疗的egfr突变NSCLC患者中,有1%至3%的患者报告了BRAF突变和融合,这代表了潜在的靶向改变。在本病例报告中,我们讨论了在接受奥西替尼治疗的egfr突变NSCLC患者中发生CTNNA1-BRAF融合的EGFR-MEK共抑制的基本原理。此外,我们简要概述了BRAF融合作为对奥西替尼的获得性耐药机制和潜在治疗策略的现有证据。

Phase 3 trials of neoadjuvant, perioperative, and adjuvant immune checkpoint inhibitors combined with chemotherapy (ICI-CT) in resectable early-stage NSCLC (eNSCLC) have reported that all three approaches confer an event-free or disease-free survival benefit over CT alone, with acceptable safety profiles.

This review provides a detailed analysis of these phase 3 ICI-CT trials and addresses the considerations regarding the selection of each approach, including protocol schema and baseline patient and tumor differences, preoperative staging, surgical outcomes, efficacy end points, safety, treatment disposition, and the programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) efficacy biomarker.

新辅助、围手术期和辅助免疫检查点抑制剂联合化疗(ICI-CT)治疗可切除的早期非小细胞肺癌(eNSCLC)的3期试验报告显示,与单独使用CT相比,这三种方法均可获得无事件或无疾病的生存益处,并且具有可接受的安全性。这三种策略都是eNSCLC认可的护理标准。本综述提供了这些iii期ICI-CT试验的详细分析,并阐述了关于每种方法选择的考虑因素,包括方案方案、基线患者和肿瘤差异、术前分期、手术结果、疗效终点、安全性、治疗处置和程序性死亡配体1 (PD-L1)疗效生物标志物。在这些ICI-CT试验中,方案和研究人群之间的差异阻碍了交叉试验的比较,并强调了进行正面试验的必要性。无论后续治疗如何,通过新辅助ICI-CT获得病理完全缓解的患者有更好的生存结果,但实现病理完全缓解所需的术前ICI-CT周期的最佳次数尚未确定。在新辅助治疗或围手术期与辅助治疗方法之间的选择包括术前对手术的潜在损耗、术后对ICI-CT的损耗以及预期的毒性特征的风险-收益评估。目前浸润性淋巴结分期的局限性意味着辅助ICI仍然是一种重要的治疗策略,但术前淋巴结分期是必要的。未来的研究将确定围手术期试验中每个治疗阶段的安全性和毒性贡献,以确定术前或术后ICI入路是否更好,新辅助ICI- ct后辅助是否有额外的益处,以及哪种患者将从每种入路中获益最多。

Introduction

Lung cancer (LC) accounts for 26.4% of all cancer deaths in Hong Kong (HK). Lung cancer screening (LCS) with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) can reduce LC mortality. The cost-effectiveness of LDCT screening in high-risk individuals on the basis of smoking history has previously been investigated. However, nearly half of patients with LC in HK never smoke, indicating a different LC epidemiology compared with Western countries, where most LC cases are associated with smoking. We conducted a cost-effectiveness analysis for LCS, utilizing local data and expanding the target population to include we not only high-risk individuals identified on the basis of smoking history but also those identified through other risk factors.

Methods

A decision tree combined with a state-transition Markov model was developed to simulate identification, diagnosis, and treatments for high-risk individuals, from a health care provider perspective. The selection criteria and screening effectiveness for high-risk individuals on the basis of smoking history were obtained from the Dutch-Belgian Lung Cancer Screening Study, targeting heavy smokers aged 50 to 74 years; whereas the Taiwan Lung Cancer Screening in Never-Smoker Trial was used to model high-risk individuals on the basis of factors other than smoking history. Local LC survival and cost data were used to populate the model. The willingness-to-pay threshold used in the study was US$24,302 to US$40,202 per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY).

Results

Screening led to additional early LC detected, and LC mortality reduction, compared with no screening. Over a lifetime horizon, the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for high-risk individuals on the basis of smoking history was US$14,122 per QALY. The incremental cost-effectiveness ratio for high-risk individuals on the basis of factors other than smoking history was lower at US$9610 per QALY.

Conclusion

LCS with LDCT can be considered cost-effective in HK for high-risk individuals on the basis of smoking history and factors other than smoking history, contributing to the health benefits of the population. Our findings support a population-based LCS for all high-risk individuals identified through criteria beyond smoking history.
在香港,肺癌(LC)占所有癌症死亡人数的26.4%。肺癌筛查(LCS)与低剂量计算机断层扫描(LDCT)可以降低肺癌死亡率。基于吸烟史对高危人群进行LDCT筛查的成本-效果已经进行了调查。然而,香港近一半的LC患者从不吸烟,这表明与西方国家的LC流行病学不同,大多数LC病例与吸烟有关。我们对LCS进行了成本效益分析,利用当地数据并扩大目标人群,不仅包括根据吸烟史确定的高危人群,还包括通过其他风险因素确定的高危人群。方法从医疗服务提供者的角度,建立一种结合状态转移马尔可夫模型的决策树来模拟高风险个体的识别、诊断和治疗。基于吸烟史的高危人群的选择标准和筛查效果来自荷兰-比利时肺癌筛查研究,目标人群为50 - 74岁的重度吸烟者;而台湾不吸烟者肺癌筛查试验则是根据吸烟史以外的因素对高危人群进行建模。使用局部LC生存和成本数据填充模型。研究中使用的支付意愿阈值为每个质量调整生命年(QALY) 24,302美元至40,202美元。结果与未筛查相比,筛查可导致更多的早期LC检测,并且LC死亡率降低。在整个生命周期中,基于吸烟史的高风险个体的增量成本-效果比为每QALY 14122美元。基于吸烟史以外因素的高风险个体的增量成本-效果比较低,为每QALY 9610美元。结论基于吸烟史和吸烟史以外的因素,lcs联合LDCT可被认为是香港高危人群具有成本效益的,有助于人群的健康益处。我们的研究结果支持通过吸烟史以外的标准确定的所有高风险个体的基于人群的LCS。

Introduction

Canakinumab is a human monoclonal anti–interleukin-1β antibody with the potential to enhance the activity of programmed death-ligand 1 inhibitors by inhibiting protumor inflammation.

Methods

CANOPY-N was a randomized, phase 2 study to evaluate safety and efficacy of neoadjuvant canakinumab (200 mg subcutaneous once every three weeks) and pembrolizumab (200 mg intravenous once every three weeks), either in combination or alone, in patients with early-stage (stage Ib–IIIa) NSCLC. The primary end point was major pathologic response (MPR) rates (≤10% of residual tumor cells) by central pathology review in the arms containing canakinumab. Secondary end points included overall response rates, safety, pharmacokinetics, surgical feasibility rates, and MPR rate in the pembrolizumab arm. The impact of treatment on surgical outcomes was assessed as an exploratory outcome.

Results

In total, 88 patients were enrolled: 35 to the canakinumab arm, 35 to the canakinumab + pembrolizumab arm, and 18 to the pembrolizumab arm. One patient (2.9%) in the canakinumab arm (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.07–14.92), six patients (17.1%) in the canakinumab + pembrolizumab arm (95% CI: 6.56–33.65), and three patients (16.7%) in the pembrolizumab arm (95% CI: 3.58–41.42) achieved MPR. No unexpected safety signals were observed. Of the 84 patients (95.5%) who underwent operation, the prespecified 6-week window was achieved for 72 patients (85.7%).

Conclusions

Neoadjuvant treatment with canakinumab alone or combined with pembrolizumab did not improve MPR rates compared with pembrolizumab alone. No unexpected safety signals were observed and canakinumab did not adversely affect surgical outcomes. Intraoperative perihilar or perilobular fibrosis after neoadjuvant immunotherapy was rare.
canakinumab是一种人单克隆抗白细胞介素-1β抗体,具有通过抑制肿瘤炎症来增强程序性死亡配体1抑制剂活性的潜力。方法scanopy - n是一项随机2期研究,旨在评估新辅助canakinumab (200 mg皮下注射,每3周一次)和pembrolizumab (200 mg静脉注射,每3周一次)联合或单独用于早期(Ib-IIIa期)NSCLC患者的安全性和有效性。主要终点是主要病理反应(MPR)率(≤残留肿瘤细胞的10%),在含有canakinumab的组中进行中心病理检查。次要终点包括派姆单抗组的总缓解率、安全性、药代动力学、手术可行性和MPR率。治疗对手术结果的影响作为探索性结果进行评估。结果共入组88例患者:canakinumab组35例,canakinumab + pembrolizumab组35例,pembrolizumab组18例。canakinumab组1例患者(2.9%)(95%可信区间[CI]: 0.07-14.92), canakinumab + pembrolizumab组6例患者(17.1%)(95% CI: 6.56-33.65), pembrolizumab组3例患者(16.7%)(95% CI: 3.58-41.42)达到MPR。没有观察到意外的安全信号。在84例(95.5%)接受手术的患者中,72例(85.7%)达到了预定的6周窗口期。结论与单独使用派姆单抗相比,单独使用canakinumab或联合使用派姆单抗并不能提高MPR率。没有观察到意外的安全信号,canakinumab对手术结果没有不利影响。新辅助免疫治疗后术中肝门周围或小叶周围纤维化是罕见的。

Objective

Besides the discussion on parenchymal margin, data on the extent of lymph node (LN) dissection are scarce, especially in segmentectomy. This study aimed to investigate the extent of LN dissection and detection of occult disease in segmentectomy compared with lobar resection.

Methods

We performed a single-institution, retrospective analysis for patients who underwent segmentectomy or lobectomy for clinical T1N0M0 (≤3 cm) NSCLC from 2012 to 2022. The extent of LN dissection and the rate of detection of occult LN disease were compared. N1 nodes were further classified as collected as a specimen during the operation (N1 dissection) and the nodes retrieved from lung specimens by pathologists (N1 lung specimen).

Results

During the study period, 957 lobectomies and 402 segmentectomies were performed for clinical T1N0M0 NSCLC. The median number of sampled LNs was significantly higher in the lobectomy group (18 versus 12; p < 0.001). This tendency was similar across all node groups, including N2 nodes (7 versus 5), N1 dissection nodes (6 versus 4), and most significantly N1 lung specimen nodes (4 versus 0; all p < 0.001) There was a significant difference in N1 occult nodes (13.3% versus 3.7%; p < 0.001), whereas the difference was not significant in N2 occult nodes (5.5% versus 3.2%; p = 0.074).

Conclusions

Segmentectomy was associated with less LN sampling, which translated into lower detection of occult nodal metastasis in N1 LNs. Although standardized pathologic dissection could potentially improve detection, there is likely an inevitable inferiority in LN sampling with segmentectomy.
目的除了对淋巴结实质边缘的讨论外,关于淋巴结清扫程度的资料很少,尤其是在节段性切除术中。本研究旨在探讨淋巴结清扫的程度和隐匿性疾病在节段切除与叶段切除的比较。方法对2012年至2022年接受T1N0M0(≤3cm)非小细胞肺癌节段切除术或肺叶切除术的患者进行单机构回顾性分析。比较两组淋巴结清扫程度和隐匿性淋巴结病变的检出率。将N1淋巴结进一步分为术中采集的标本(N1夹层)和病理学家从肺标本中取出的淋巴结(N1肺标本)。结果在研究期间,临床T1N0M0 NSCLC共行957例肺叶切除术和402例节段切除术。在肺叶切除术组中,ln的中位数明显更高(18个比12个;p & lt;0.001)。这种趋势在所有淋巴结组中都是相似的,包括N2淋巴结(7对5),N1淋巴结清扫(6对4),最显著的是N1肺标本淋巴结(4对0;所有p <;0.001) N1隐匿淋巴结有显著性差异(13.3% vs 3.7%;p & lt;0.001),而N2隐匿淋巴结差异不显著(5.5%对3.2%;P = 0.074)。结论节段切除术与淋巴结取样减少相关,这意味着N1淋巴结隐匿性转移的检出率较低。虽然标准化的病理解剖可以潜在地提高检测,但LN取样与节段切除术可能存在不可避免的劣势。

Introduction: This study investigated quality of life (QoL) and its role in treatment decision making among patients with anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)+ NSCLC.

Methods: Adult patients with self-reported ALK+ NSCLC residing in the United States from the Lung Cancer Registry from GO2 for Lung Cancer were included. Measures included a core patient survey derived from Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core 30 items (QLQ-C30) and QLQ - lung cancer module 29 items domains and an ALK+ NSCLC module (ALK module). Associations were assessed between key domains and module questions using polyserial or Spearman's correlations and Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel tests.

Results: Seventy-one patients with ALK+ NSCLC completed the ALK module. Most patients (85%) felt their current therapy helped stop cancer growth, helped them live longer, and was worth taking despite side effects; however, 80% reported some cancer scan-related anxiety and only 32% reported having received "quite a bit" or "very much" mental health support information from their care team. Most patients (75%) reported QoL as a top concern in treatment decisions, regardless of responses to other ALK module questions (all associations p ≥ 0.50). Although most patients (87%) perceived their physicians as interested in their QoL, only 51% reported their physicians discussed QoL as a top concern in treatment decisions. QLQ-C30 composite global health status-QoL score had significant moderate to strong correlations with all other QLQ-C30 and lung cancer module 29 items domains (p ≤ 0.004) and some components of communication with care teams, treatment confidence, and impact on daily life.

Conclusions: QoL is important in treatment decision making for patients with ALK+ NSCLC. These findings highlight areas for improvement in mental health support and patient-provider communication.

摘要:本研究探讨间变性淋巴瘤激酶(ALK)+ NSCLC患者的生活质量(QoL)及其在治疗决策中的作用。方法:从肺癌GO2的肺癌登记中纳入居住在美国的自我报告ALK+ NSCLC的成年患者。测量方法包括核心患者调查,来源于生活质量问卷-核心30项(QLQ- c30)和QLQ-肺癌模块29项域和ALK+ NSCLC模块(ALK模块)。使用多序列或Spearman相关和Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel检验评估关键域和模块问题之间的关联。结果:71例ALK+ NSCLC患者完成了ALK模块。大多数患者(85%)认为他们目前的治疗有助于阻止癌症的生长,帮助他们延长寿命,尽管有副作用,但值得服用;然而,80%的人报告了一些与癌症扫描相关的焦虑,只有32%的人表示从他们的护理团队那里得到了“相当多”或“非常多”的心理健康支持信息。大多数患者(75%)报告生活质量是治疗决策中最关心的问题,无论对其他ALK模块问题的反应如何(所有关联p≥0.50)。尽管大多数患者(87%)认为他们的医生对他们的生活质量感兴趣,但只有51%的患者报告他们的医生将生活质量作为治疗决策的首要关注点。QLQ-C30综合整体健康状态-生活质量评分与所有其他QLQ-C30和肺癌模块29项域(p≤0.004)以及与护理团队沟通、治疗信心和对日常生活的影响的某些组成部分具有显著的中至强相关性。结论:生活质量对ALK+ NSCLC患者的治疗决策具有重要意义。这些发现突出了在精神卫生支持和医患沟通方面有待改进的领域。
