Risk Associated with Bilobectomy after Neoadjuvant Concurrent Chemoradiotherapy for Stage IIIA‐N2 Non‐small‐cell Lung Cancer

Abstract: Bilobectomy is associated with high operative mortality and poor long-term survival after neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy for stage IIIA-N2 non-small-cell lung cancer. The outcomes of bilobectomy were similar to those of pneumonectomy in terms of overall survival, disease-free survival, and postoperative mortality.

“…An equally important finding of this analysis is that extended resections were associated with increased mortality, 19% at 30 and 90 days. Excessive mortality following pneumonectomy 6,19 and bilobectomy 26 as part of trimodality therapy has been previously reported. Extended resections did not portend an increased rate of Gr3/4AEs, but when an AE occurred, patients were significantly more likely to die as a result compared with those with AEs following lobectomy.…”

“…When the pathologic involvement of mediastinal lymph nodes (LNs) is documented prior to surgical resection, both local/distant recurrence and metastasis rates are high with resection alone [4]. Although concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with or without surgery has been the most recent management trend for locally advanced NSCLC [5], unfortunately those tumors have a dismal prognosis with a median overall survival (OS) of 25-35 months despite multimodal treatment [6][7][8][9].…”

“…Most patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), suffer disease relapse within three years and less than 10% of patients remain alive after a 5-year interval despite surgery (1,2). Because of poor survival, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and target therapy have been utilized in managing advanced NSCLC (3)(4)(5)(6). From the literature review, neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgical resection has been considered useful in select patients with advanced NSCLC, but the postoperative 5-year survival rates of these patients has ranged from 10% to 36% (1,7,8).…”
