Objective
This study aimed at describing our high-volume single center experience in robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS) to evaluate short outcome and feasibility of the technique, the adequacy of oncological results, and the learning curve.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed data from 1000 consecutive patients who underwent lobectomy and systematic lymphadenectomy for primary lung cancer using RATS approach between May 2007 and May 2023.
Results
Nine-hundred ninety-seven patients (99.7 %) underwent lobectomy, whereas 3 (0.03 %) patients bilobectomy. Conversion rate to open surgery was 3.7 %. Minor complications occurred in 213 (21.3 %) patients, major complications in 29 patients (2.9 %). The 30-day and 90-day operative mortality was 0 % and 0.1 %, respectively. The median number of N1 + N2 stations resected was 5 (range 0–9), with a median number of 17 of N1 + N2 lymph nodes resected (range 0–55). The oncological outcome was evaluated only on the subgroup of patients (n = 895) with non-small cell lung cancer. Pathological lymph node upstaging from cN0 to pN1/pN2 was evident in 147 patients (17.3 %): 9 % from cN0 to pN1 and 7.1 % from cN0 to pN2. With a median follow-up of 3.9, 5-year OS and DFS were respectively 89.3 % and 83.6 % for stage I, 74 % and 66.5 % for stage II, and 61 % and 36.4 % for stage IIIA.
Conclusions
Better vision and excellent instrument maneuverability of the robotic surgical system allowed excellent results in terms of early, adequate oncological outcome comparable to open surgery literature data, and acceptable learning curve.

Objective
The 5-year survival rate of early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still not optimistic. We aimed to construct prognostic tools using clinicopathological (CP) and serum 8-miRNA panel to predict the risk of overall survival (OS) in early-stage NSCLC.
Materials and methods
A total of 799 patients with early-stage NSCLC, treated between April 2008 and September 2019, were included in this study. A sub-group of patients with serum samples, 280, were analyzed for miRNA profiling. The primary endpoint of the study was OS. The CP panel for prognosis was developed using multivariate and forward stepwise selection analyses. The serum 8-miRNA panel was developed using the miRNAs that were significant for prognosis, screened using real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) followed by differential, univariate and Cox regression analyses. The combined model was developed using CP panel and serum 8-miRNA panel. The predictive performance of the panels and the combined model was evaluated using the area under curve (AUC) values of receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.
Result
The prognostic panels and the combined model (comprising CP panel and serum 8-miRNA panel) was used to classify the patients into high-risk and low-risk groups. The OS rates of these two groups were significantly different (P<0.05). The two panels had higher AUC than the two guidelines, and the combined model had the highest AUC. The AUC of the combined model (AUC=0.788; 95 %CI 0.706–0.871) was better than that of the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guideline (AUC=0.601; 95 %CI 0.505–0.697) and Chinese Society of Clinical Oncology (CSCO) guideline (AUC=0.614; 95 %CI 0.520–0.708).
Conclusion
The combined model based on CP panel and serum 8-miRNA panel allows better prognostic risk stratification of patients with early-stage NSCLC to predict risk of OS.

Background
In the initial analysis of a pivotal phase 2 single-arm study (NCT03861156), befotertinib (D-0316) showed clinical benefit with a manageable safety profile in pretreated patients with EGFR T790M mutated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), including those with brain metastases.
Methods
Eligible patients received oral befotertinib of 50 mg (cohort A) or 75–100 mg (cohort B) once daily until disease progression, withdrawal of informed consent, or death. The primary endpoint for the initial analysis was objective response rate (ORR) assessed by an independent review committee. OS and safety were secondary endpoints. Herein, we present the final OS and safety data.
Results
A total of 176 patients in cohort A and 290 patients in cohort B were finally enrolled. At data cutoff (May 31, 2023), the median duration of follow-up was 47.9 months (95 % CI: 47.1–48.3) in cohort A and 36.7 months (35.9–37.9) in cohort B. The median OS was 23.9 months (95 % CI: 21.1–27.2) in cohort A and 31.5 months (26.8–35.3) in cohort B. The median OS for patients with and without brain metastasis in cohort A was 18.6 months (95 % CI: 14.9–26.3) and 26.4 months (95 % CI: 23.0–29.0), respectively. In cohort B, these data was 23.0 months (95 % CI: 18.6–29.1) and 35.5 months (95 % CI: 29.3–NE), respectively. The safety profile of befotertinib remained consistent with previous data. Grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events were 38.1 % in the cohort A and 50.3 % in the cohort B, and 22.2 % and 31.7 % were related to the study drug.
Conclusion
Befotertinib demonstrated a more profound OS benefit compared to other 3rd-generation EGFR TKI, despite that cross trial data comparison should be interpreted with caution. The safety profile was manageable and consistent with previously report data in pretreated patients with confirmed T790M mutation-positive NSCLC.

Background
The time between initial asbestos exposure and asbestos-related disease can span several decades. The Asbestos Surveillance Program aims to detect early asbestos-related diseases in a cohort of 8,565 power industry workers formerly exposed to asbestos.
Research question
How does asbestos exposure patterns affect cancer mortality and the duration of latency until death?
Methods
A mortality follow-up was conducted with available vital status for 8,476 participants (99 %) and available death certificates for 89.9 % of deceased participants. Standardised mortality ratios (SMR) were calculated for asbestos-related cancers. The SMR of mesothelioma and lung cancer were stratified by exposure duration, cumulative asbestos exposure and smoking. The effect of age at first exposure, cumulative asbestos exposure and smoking on the duration of latency until death was examined using multiple linear regression analysis.
Results
The mortality risk of mesothelioma (n = 104) increased with cumulative asbestos exposure but not with exposure duration; the highest mortality (SMR: 23.20; 95 % CI: 17.62–29.99) was observed in participants who performed activities with short extremely high exposures (steam turbine revisions). Lung cancer mortality (n = 215) was not increased (SMR: 1.03; 95 % CI: 0.89–1.17). Median latency until death was 46 (15–63) years for mesothelioma and 44 (15–70) years for lung cancer and deaths occurred between age 64 and 82 years. Latency until death was not influenced by age at first exposure, cumulative exposure, or smoking.
Conclusion
Cumulative dose seems to be more appropriate than exposure duration for estimating the risk of mesothelioma death. Additionally, exposure with high cumulative doses in short time should be considered. Since only lung cancer mortality, not incidence, was recorded in this study, lung cancer risk associated with asbestos exposure could not be assessed and the lung cancer mortality was lower than expected probably due to screening effects and improved treatments. The critical time window of death from asbestos-related cancer is between the seventh and ninth decade of life. Future studies should further explore the concept of latency, especially since large ranges are reported throughout the literature.

Background
High interleukin-8 (IL-8) levels have been linked to poor prognosis in lung cancer, but conclusive data are lacking.
Materials and methods
A comprehensive search was conducted on April 1st, 2023, from electronic databases, focusing on studies with IL-8 expression evaluations and the availability of hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS) and disease-free survival (DFS) or adequate data for their estimation. Then, we examined IL-8 and CXCR1 RNA-seq data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset, and we correlated these data with OS.
Results
Among 2655 produced records, 10 manuscripts involving both non-small cell lung cancer and small cell lung cancer, were included in the analysis. Two manuscripts and one study included two and three different cohorts, respectively, for a total of 14 cohorts of patients. Overall, 4 cohorts evaluated IL-8 levels in patients treated with chemotherapy, 3 cohorts immunotherapy, 2 cohorts surgical patients and 4 cohorts other treatments; 1 cohort was removed, as the type of treatments was lacking. The 12 cohorts included in the OS analysis revealed that patients with high IL-8 levels have a lower OS probability, as compared to patients with low IL-8 levels (HR=1.75, 95 % CI 1.36–2.26). No significant difference between patients with high and low IL-8 levels was observed in the 8 cohorts available for PFS analysis. Sensitivity analysis according to treatment revealed significant PFS and OS differences for patients treated with chemotherapy or immunotherapy. Analysis of RNA-seq data from TCGA, confirmed the correlation between high IL-8 and CXCR1 expression and worse OS in patients with resected lung cancer.
Conclusion
To the best of our knowledge, this study represents the first meta-analysis demonstrating a negative prognostic impact of high IL-8 level in lung cancer, particularly in patients treated with chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy.
背景:高白细胞介素-8(IL-8)水平与肺癌的不良预后有关,但目前尚缺乏确凿的数据:2023年4月1日,我们在电子数据库中进行了一次全面检索,重点是对IL-8表达进行评估,并提供总生存期(OS)、无进展生存期(PFS)和无病生存期(DFS)的危险比(HR)和95%置信区间(CI)或足够的数据用于估算的研究。然后,我们研究了癌症基因组图谱(TCGA)数据集中的IL-8和CXCR1 RNA-seq数据,并将这些数据与OS相关联:在2655条记录中,有10篇同时涉及非小细胞肺癌和小细胞肺癌的稿件被纳入分析。两篇稿件和一项研究分别包含了两个和三个不同的队列,共计 14 个队列的患者。总体而言,4个队列评估了化疗患者的IL-8水平,3个队列评估了免疫疗法患者的IL-8水平,2个队列评估了外科手术患者的IL-8水平,4个队列评估了其他疗法患者的IL-8水平。纳入 OS 分析的 12 个队列显示,与 IL-8 水平低的患者相比,IL-8 水平高的患者 OS 概率较低(HR=1.75,95 % CI 1.36-2.26)。在可进行PFS分析的8个队列中,未观察到IL-8水平高和低的患者之间存在明显差异。根据治疗方法进行的敏感性分析显示,接受化疗或免疫治疗的患者的 PFS 和 OS 有明显差异。来自TCGA的RNA-seq数据分析证实了IL-8和CXCR1高表达与切除肺癌患者较差的OS之间的相关性:据我们所知,该研究是首个证明高IL-8水平对肺癌预后有负面影响的荟萃分析,尤其是在接受化疗和/或免疫治疗的患者中。

The predictive value of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression for the efficacy of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in patients with advanced ROS1-rearranged non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains underexplored. This study analyzed patients with advanced NSCLC harboring ROS1 rearrangements who received first-line crizotinib to evaluate the correlation between baseline PD-L1 expression and crizotinib efficacy.
Methods
In this study, the clinical data from 371 patients diagnosed with ROS1-rearranged NSCLC at Shanghai Chest Hospital between November 2017 and December 2022 were reviewed. The patients were categorized into three groups according to the baseline PD-L1 expression: tumor proportion score (TPS) <1%, TPS 1 %-49 %, and TPS≥50 %. The objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), and progression-free survival (PFS) following first-line crizotinib treatment were measured.
Results
A total of 64 patients were included in the analysis, with 16 patients in the TPS<1% group, 22 in the TPS 1 %-49 % group, and 26 in the TPS≥50 % group. The overall DCR was 100 %, and the overall ORR was 76.5 %. The ORRs were 81.2 % (13/16) in the TPS<1% group, 63.6 % (14/22) in the TPS 1 %-49 % group, and 84.6 % (22/26) in the TPS≥50 % group (p = 0.218). The median PFS across all patients was 20.21 months (95 % CI: 15.71–24.71), with a median PFS of 28.96 months (95 % CI: 19.87–38.04) in the TPS<1% group, 17.56 months (95 % CI: 12.25–22.86) in the TPS 1 %-49 % group, and 25.85 months (95 % CI: 18.52–33.17) in the TPS≥50 % group (p = 0.100). The median PFS for patients with CD74 fusion was 18.23 months (95 % CI: 15.24–21.22), while those with non-CD74 fusion exhibited a PFS of 16.49 months (95 % CI: 9.75–23.23) (p = 0.359).
Conclusion
Patients with advanced ROS1-rearranged NSCLC were found to benefit from first-line crizotinib treatment, irrespective of baseline PD-L1 expression.

Objectives
To investigate the variability and diagnostic efficacy of respiratory-gated (RG) PET/CT based radiomics features compared to ungated (UG) PET/CT in the differentiation of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and benign lesions.
Methods
117 patients with suspected lung lesions from March 2020 to May 2021 and consent to undergo UG PET/CT and chest RG PET/CT (including phase-based quiescent period gating, pQPG and phase-matched 4D PET/CT, 4DRG) were prospectively included. 377 radiomics features were extracted from PET images of each scan. Paired t test was used to compare UG and RG features for inter-scan variability analysis. We developed three radiomics models with UG and RG features (i.e. UGModel, pQPGModel and 4DRGModel). ROC curves were used to compare diagnostic efficiencies, and the model-level comparison of diagnostic value was performed by five-fold cross-validation. A P value < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
Results
A total of 111 patients (average age ± standard deviation was 59.1 ± 11.6 y, range, 29 – 88 y, and 63 were males) with 209 lung lesions were analyzed for features variability and the subgroup of 126 non-metastasis lesions in 91 patients without treatment before PET/CT were included for diagnosis analysis. 101/377 (26.8 %) 4DRG features and 82/377 (21.8 %) pQPG features showed significant difference compared to UG features (both P<0.05). 61/377 (16.2 %) and 59/377 (15.6 %) of them showed significantly better discriminant ability (ΔAUC% (i.e. (AUCRG – AUCUG) / AUCUG×100 %) > 0 and P<0.05) in malignant recognition, respectively. For the model-level comparison, 4DRGModel achieved the highest diagnostic efficacy (sen 73.2 %, spe 87.3 %) compared with UGModel (sen 57.7 %, spe 76.4 %) and pQPGModel (sen 63.4 %, spe 81.8 %).
Conclusion
RG PET/CT performs better in the quantitative assessment of metabolic heterogeneity for lung lesions and the subsequent diagnosis in patients with NSCLC compared with UG PET/CT.

The risk and survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with pre-existing autoimmune disorders (AIDs) receiving immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapy have not been clearly established.
Patients and methods
This multi-institutional, retrospective cohort study was conducted in collaboration with 20 centers in Japan.
Results
In total, 229 patients with advanced or recurrent NSCLC and pre-existing AID, with or without ICB treatment from January 2010–February 2020, were included and analyzed. Among 69 patients who received ICB, 2 received two lines of ICBs with a total of 71 ICB treatments; 57 (80.3 %) and 14 (19.7 %) patients received ICB monotherapy and combination therapy, respectively. AID flares were observed in 18 patients (25.4 %, 95 % confidence interval [CI], 15.8–37.1 %) receiving ICB. AID exacerbations were more likely when NSCLC was diagnosed less than 1 year after the AID diagnosis (odds ratio 5.26 [95 % CI, 1.40–21.61]; P = 0.016). Immune-related adverse events were observed in 32 patients (45.1 %, 95 % CI, 33.2–57.3 %); 17 had grade 3 or higher. The safety profile of combination immunotherapy was not significantly different from that of the monotherapy. After inverse probability weighting, the use of ICB prolonged survival (hazard ratio 0.43 [95 % CI, 0.26–0.70]; P = 0.0006).
Conclusions
These findings revealed a novel risk factor for AID flares following ICB treatment, that is the diagnosis of NSCLC within 1 year of AID diagnosis, and showed that ICBs may improve survival in this population. These results support the utilization of ICB in patients with NSCLC and pre-existing AID.

Introduction
Histological confirmation of a lung tumor is the prerequisite for treatment planning. It has been suspected that CT-guided needle biopsy (CTGNB) exposes the patient to a higher risk of pleural recurrence. However, the distance between tumor and pleura has largely been neglected as a possible confounder when comparing CTGNB to bronchoscopy.
Methods
All patients with lung cancer histologically confirmed by bronchoscopy or CTGNB between 2010 and 2020 were enrolled and studied. Patients’ medical histories, radiologic and pathologic findings and surgical records were reviewed. Pleural recurrence was diagnosed by pleural biopsy, fluid cytology, or by CT chest imaging showing progressive pleural nodules.
Results
In this retrospective unicenter analysis, 844 patients underwent curative resection for early-stage lung cancer between 2010 and 2020. Median follow-up was 47.5 months (3–137). 27 patients (3.2 %) with ipsilateral pleural recurrence (IPR) were identified. The distance of the tumor to the pleura was significantly smaller in patients who underwent CTGNB. A tendency of increased risk of IPR was observed in tumors located in the lower lobe (HR: 2.18 [±0.43], p = 0.068), but only microscopic pleural invasion was a significant independent predictive factor for increased risk of IPR (HR: 5.33 [± 0.51], p = 0.001) by multivariate cox analysis. Biopsy by CTGNB did not affect IPR (HR: 1.298 [± 0.39], p = 0.504).
Conclusion
CTGNB is safe and not associated with an increased incidence of IPR in our cohort of patients. This observation remains to be validated in a larger multicenter patient cohort.

Background
Management of stage-III-N2 non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) based on a multimodal strategy (surgery or radiotherapycombined with systemic drugs) remains controversial. Patients are treated with a curative intent, and available data suggestprolonged survival after complete resection. However, no consensual definition of “tumor resectability” exists. This study aimed to analyze the concordanceamong French tumor board meeting (TBM)-emittedtherapeutic decisions forstage-III-N2 NSCLC.
Methods
Six patients with stage-III-N2 NSCLC discussed at Saint-Etienne University Hospital’sthoracic TBMs were selected, anonymouslyreported, and submitted to the participating TBMs. The primary goal of this multicenter, prospective, observational study was to assess the consistency of TBMpanel decisions for each case. The secondary endpointwas identifying the demographic or technical factors that potentiallyaffected decision-making.
Results
Twenty-seven TBMs from university hospitals, a cancer center, general hospitals, and a private hospitalparticipated in this study. None of their decisions for the six cases were unanimous.The decisions were homogenous for three cases (78%, 85%, and 88% TBMs opted for medical treatment, respectively),andmore ambivalent for the other three (medical versus surgical strategies were favored by 44%/56%, 46%/54%, and 58%/42% TBMs, respectively). Interestingly, decisions regarding chemoradiationand perioperative chemotherapyinthe medical and surgical strategies, respectively, were also discordant. Hospital type, specialist participation in TBMs, and activity volumes were not significantly associated with therapeutic decisions.
Conclusion
The results of this study highlight substantial disparities amongFrench TBMs regarding therapeutic management of stage-III-N2 NSCLC. The decisions were not associated with local conditions.
