Objective: The early and local advanced stages (IA-IIIA) of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) warrant the curative treatment approach of surgery. However, despite the surgical approach, survival depends on a number of factors. The aim of the study was to examine the factors that affect survival in operated NSCLC patients with these stages.Methods: A cohort of 231 operated patients with IA, IB, IIA, IIB, and IIIA stages of NSCLC were analyzed. The effects of age, sex, comorbidity, performance status, histopathology of the tumor, T stage, N stage, pleural invasion, surgical resection type and postoperative resection margin invasion on the survival of the patients were examined with KaplanMeier and Cox Regression analyses.Results: Advanced age (OR=1.042 for every passing year, CI=1.020-1.064), adenocarcinoma histopathology (OR=1.676 CI=1.178-2.384), N2 invasion (OR=2.389 CI=1.46-4.239), pleural invasion (OR=2.403 CI=1.569-3.678), resection margin invasion (OR=2.401, CI=1.141-5.048) and pneumonectomy as the type of surgical operation (OR=2.313, CI=1.467-3.647) were found to be independent prognostic factors of mortality.
Conclusion:Follow-up of the NSCLC cases with advanced age, an adenocarcinoma type, visceral pleural invasion, N2-lymph node invasion, a history of pneumonectomy, and a resection margin invasion should be undertaken more attentively during planning of surgical operation and postoperative period. Sonuç: İleri yaştaki, adenokanser tipine sahip, viseral plevra invazyonu veya N2 tutulumu olan, pnömomonektomi operasyonu geçiren ve cerrahi sınırda tümör pozitifliği görülen opere erken ve lokal ileri evre KHDAK tanılı hastaların perioperatif ve postoperatif dönemdeki takipleri dikkatli planlanmalıdır.Anahtar kelimeler: sağkalım, mortalite, performans skoru, opere edilmiş, küçük hücreli olmayan akciğer kanseri Taylan M, et al.
