“…76,77 One may argue that recurrent NSCLC has a poor prognosis, but several studies have shown that retreatment after surgery may increase survival in selected cases. [77][78][79] After potentially curative therapy of NSCLC, masses or symptoms suggestive of recurrence are common but may be difficult to characterize. The application of FDG-PET for the detection of relapsing lung cancer is increasingly being investigated.…”

“…Therefore, [70% of patients with recurrent NSCLC receive chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. However, satisfactory survival rates have not been achieved compared with those after surgical resection [5]. Few patients survive [5 years (median survival 6.4-14.9 months) [3].…”

Rationale: Imaging intensity after lung cancer resection performed with curative intent is unknown.Objectives: To describe the pattern and trends in the use of computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) scans in patients after resection of early-stage lung cancer. Measurements and Main Results: Overall, imaging use was higher within the first 2 years versus Years 3-5 after surgical resection. Use of surveillance CT scans increased sharply from 13.7 to 57.3% of those diagnosed in 1996-1997 and 2004-2005, respectively. PET scan use increased threefold, from 6.2% in 2000-2001 to 19.6% in 2004-2005. In multivariable analyses, we observed a 32% increase in the odds of undergoing surveillance CT or PET imaging for every year of diagnosis between 1998 and 2005. There was no substantial decline in the odds of having a surveillance CT or PET scan during each successive follow-up period, suggesting no change in the intensity of surveillance over the first 5 years after surgical resection. The proportion of surveillance CT imaging performed at freestanding imaging centers increased from 18.0% in 1998-1999 to 30.6% in 2004-2005. Methods Conclusions:The use of CT and PET imaging for surveillance after curative-intent surgical resection of early-stage lung cancer increased sharply in the United States between 1997-1998 and 2005. In the absence of evidence demonstrating favorable outcomes, this practice was likely driven by prevailing expert opinion embedded in clinical practice guidelines made available during that time. Research is clearly needed to determine the role and optimal approach to surveillance thoracic imaging after surgical resection of lung cancer.
