9 LUNG CANCER SCREENING 9

10 Lung Cancer Screening Why? Lung Cancer Statistics Ontario: o Est Incidence = 8,600 o Est Mortality = 6,900 o : 5 year relative survival ratio (age standardized) = 19% o Refer to CCO s Primary Care Referral Guidelines for Suspected Lung 10

11 Lung Cancer Screening How? CXR +/- Sputum cytology o 7 large RCTs have not demonstrated benefit despite up to 20 years of follow-up LOW DOSE SPIRAL CT (LDCT): o Improved sensitivity, technique o 25% less dose than normal CT chest o o 6 Prospective single arm studies o All showed improved sensitivity of LDCT for early stage lung ca o Not well designed or of enough power to show reduction in mortality 11

12 Lung Cancer Screening The Evidence National Lung Screening Trial 2002 o prct August 2002 April 2004 o n= patients at high risk for lung ca o 55-70y, at least 30pk yr hx, if ex-smokers quit within last 15y o 3 annual screenings with LDCT vs control CXR o Primary End-Point: Reduction in Mortality o Secondary End-Points: Rate of death from any cause, and incidence of lung ca in both groups The National Lung Screening Trial Research Team, NEJM

13 Lung Cancer Screening The Evidence Positive screens: 24.2% LDCT vs. 6.9% CXR False Positive: 96.4% LDCT vs. 94.5% CXR Positive = nodule >=4mm Incidence of Lung Cancer o 1060 cancers LDCT vs 941 cancers CXR (rate ratio 1.13) o 20.3% reduction in lung cancer mortality o 7% reduction in all cause mortality The National Lung Screening Trial Research Team, NEJM

14 Incidental Findings = More tests Incidental findings = 19% (Roberts et al. CARJ 2011) o 22% cardiovascular o 78% noncardiovascular (mostly liver and kidney) o Most commonly recommended FU: Abdo US o 10 malignancies: 2 multiple myeloma 1 lymphoma 6 breast cancers 1 thyroid cancer 14

15 Who? What? When? Fleischner Criteria for pulmonary nodules 15

16 Lung Cancer Screening The Problems Lead time Bias: o Early detection before symptomatic phase...no change in time to death...need to be able to change outcome Length Bias: o Slow-growing tumours detected...but aggressive disease not detected or stopped...happened before annual exam Overdiagnosis Bias: o Extra diagnoses of indolent tumours without mortality impact...may have died of unrelated causes without symptoms 16

17 Lung Cancer Screening Questions CT technique Mortality Radiation exposure how long to screen? Impact of screening Screening Demographics Age? Female non-smokers? Follow-up Positive scans? Anxiety Cost! 17

18 CCO Statements CCO s Program in Evidence-Based Care (PEBC) has produced guidelines on the screening of high risk populations for lung cancer: Recommend the use of low-dose computed tomography as a screening modality for lung cancer in high risk populations through an organized screening program and administered by specialized centres with multi-disciplinary care teams CCO has engaged Sunnybrook Research Institute to conduct research to determine the feasibility of an organized lung cancer screening program in Ont Opportunistic screening of asymptomatic individuals is not recommended due to the considerable risks posed to patients outside of an organized program 18

19 PET CT 19

20 20

21 PET CT - Indications o Diagnosis of SPN Biopsy inconclusive Nodule inaccessible to biopsy Medical condition precludes biopsy o Staging of NSCLC o Staging of SCLC o Staging of esophageal cancer Pre-treatment Post-neoadjuvant treatment (chemorads) 21

22 PET CT - Technique Integrated Positron Emission Tomography with CT Functional imaging uses fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) labelled with radioactive iodine to assess metabolic activity Procedure: o Patient fasting, resting to quiet muscular activity o Given bolus of FDG, then scanned in arms up position o Reconstruction of images completed and SUV values assigned, compared to bloodpool values o Formatted for use by Rad Onc 22

23 PET CT - Diagnosis Diagnosis o Core needle biopsy is recommended as first diagnostic approach o PET reserved for when Bx inconclusive or contraindicated o Sensitivity 96-97% o Specificity 78-66% o False negatives: slow growing malignancies, small <1cm o False positives: inflammatory conditions o No RCT s comparing PET in differentiating benign from malignant SPN 23

24 PET CT - Staging NSCLC, SCLC, Esophageal Cancer o Detects unexpected distant metastases in up to 15% o Eliminates the need for bone scan o For mediastinal lymph nodes there is a 4% false negative rate Invasive mediastinal staging required (EBUS, mediastinoscopy) 24

25 TREATMENT UPDATES: SBRT, TARGETED THERAPY 25

26 Surgery EBUS = Endobronchial Ultrasound VATS = Video assisted thoracoscopic surgery RATS = Robot assisted thoracoscopic surgery MIE = Minimally invasive esophagogastrectomy 26

27 SBRT = Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy SABR = Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy Definition: o High doses of radiation via multiple beams o Maximizes radiation dose to tumour o Limited # treatment sessions (high dose/fraction) o Image guided treatment (CT, MRI, PET) o Real time respiratory motion accommodation (4D planning) 27

28 SBRT Anatomic resection remains standard of care for operable, resectable patients with lung cancer But oelderly osevere COPD/Poor PFT s oother medical comorbidities ometastatic disease 28

29 SBRT vs Surgery for Stage 1 NSCLC- Senthi et al. Lancet Oncology 2012 Outcomes o Retrospective analysis of patterns of disease recurrence in early stage NSCLC; n=676 o 5yr Local control 89.5%; Regional control 87.3%, Distant mets 80.1% Grillis et at. JCO 2010: 3yr local control ~90% Onishi et al. JTO 2007: 5yr local control 84.2% Onishi et al. IJROBP 2010: Median F/U 55mon 5y LC = 86.7% (All) 5y OS 69.5% (All) 29

31 SBRT vs Standard RT Advantages o Higher biologically equivalent dose (BED) o Less collateral damage (lung, cord, heart) o Low incidence of pneumonitis (< 5%) o Virtually no other side effects o Only 3-4 treatment sessions Disadvantages o Need for placement of fiducials o More expensive (but cheaper than surgery??) o Some side effects

32 SBRT - Challenges Heterogeneity of tumours size, location Heterogeneity of patients, comorbidities Selection bias Multiple descriptive endpoints, definitions o Overall survival, LR, LRR, freedom from death or LR Lack of randomized clinical trials o Long and slow process o 2 big RCT s: ROSEL and STARS ROSEL terminated due to poor accrual, STARS struggling 32

33 SBRT vs. Surgery Issues: o Tumour diagnosis? o Stage? Size? o Type of staging? o What risk patient? Surgery o Lobar? Sublobar? Both? o VATS? SBRT o Heterogeneous data o Dose/fractionation? o Central vs. peripheral location? 33

34 SBRT Summary Surgery is the gold standard for operable patients For inoperable, marginally operable patients with Stage 1 NSCLC, SBRT offers 80-90% local control rates, and similar survival to surgical approaches Randomized trials have failed to accrue for various reasons; patients and surgeons 34

35 EGFR and ALK EGFR epidermal growth factor receptor o Somatic mutations o Of tyrosine kinase receptor family o When signalling unregulated, will drive tumour cell proliferation o 15-20% of adenoca will have EGFR mutation ALK anaplastic lymphoma kinase o 2-7% of adenoca *Usually light/never smokers, women, Asian ethnicity (50% vs. 10%)* 37

36 Drugs and Toxicities Tarceva = erlotinib Iressa = gefitinib Gilotrif = afatinib Xalkori = crizotinib Toxicities: MINIMAL o Rash o Diarrhea o (interstitial lung disease) 38

37 Trial Number EGFR M+ Comparison EGFR TKIs in first line therapy Genotype RR PFS directed PFS HR therapy OS (%) (months) (95% CI) (mos) IPASS 261 Gefitinib Carboplatin/paclitaxel ( ) NEJ Gefitinib Carboplatin/paclitaxel ( ) WJTOG Gefitinib Cisplatin/docetaxel ( ) OPTIMAL 165 Erlotinib Carboplatin/gemcitabine ( ) EURTAC 174 Erlotinib Cis-carbo/doce-gem ( ) Fukuoka et al. J Clin Oncol. 2011;29: Inoue et al. Ann Oncol. 2012;Epub ahead of print Mitsudomi et al. ASCO 2012 Zhou et al. ASCO 2012 Rosell et al. Lancet Oncol. 2012;13:239-46

38 Personalized Medicine Role for biomarker assessment o Accurate histology with IHC is mandatory (no NOS) o Routinely test adenoca for EGFR, ALK (do the right test) o Always for Stage IIIB, Stage IV NSCLC Reduced mortality! 40

39 Outcomes Gefitinib vs. Carboplatin/paclitaxel o Mok et al 2009 o Higher response rate (43% vs 32%) o Longer progression free survival with EGFR+ Crizotinib vs standard Chemo o Risk of progression reduced by 50% o Longer progression free survival (7.7 vs 3mos) 41

40 Improved Survival 1.Survival by mutation status. Median survival times: EGFR+, not reached; EGFR -, 3.6 years. p =.001 by log-rank test. Sequist L V et al. The Oncologist 2007;12: Survival by mutation status after adjusting for age, gender, and stage at diagnosis. Median survival times: EGFR+, 3.1 years; EGFR-, 1.6 years. 42
