3 The Debate: SBRT/RFA vs Lobectomy in Clinical Stage I NSCLC Not a debate about the efficacy of SBRT/RFA in selected patients Not a debate about the role of thoracic surgeons in evaluating or using SBRT/RFA Not a debate regarding the superiority of lobectomy over lesser resection

4 Lobectomy for c-stage I NSCLC 1. Inaccurate staging: c-stage I p-stage I 2. Thoracoscopic lobectomy/segmentectomy achieves complete resection and nodal staging, with low complication rates 3. Without tissue, biologic staging and treatment strategies are less effective

5 Staging Lung Cancer 1. Clinical staging of lung cancer is inaccurate 5-year survival Clinical Stage I 57% Pathologic Stage I 67% A substantial fraction of patients with c-stage I NSCLC are not p-stage I NSCLC

14 Clinical staging will underestimate extent of disease in 20-25% of patients Strategies that attempt local control without pathologic staging will be inadequate, especially disappointing in patients with curable N1 and N2 disease

15 2. The risks of surgery may be overestimated in patients that undergo thoracoscopic lobectomy, which should be feasible in nearly all patients with clinical stage I NSCLC that would be candidates for SBRT/RFA

46 Thoracoscopic Segmentectomy Compares Favorably With Thoracoscopic Lobectomy For Patients With Small Stage I Lung Cancer Shapiro M, et al. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2009;137: Segmentectomy 31 pts and lobectomy 113 pts No difference in # of nodes/stations resected 5 (17%) recurrences after segmentectomy and 23 (20%) after lobectomy (P =.71); locoregional recurrence rates of 3.5% and 3.6%, respectively Pts after segmentectomy had lower FEV1 than after lobectomy (83% vs 92%, P =.04)

47 Lobectomy vs Limited Resection NCCN guidelines: Lobectomy is preferred over limited resection Segmentectomy preferred over wedge resection Segmentectomy: selected patients with tumors <2cm Tumor type (BAC) and location Age/Performance status Pulmonary function

48 CALGB : Phase III Trial of Lobectomy vs Sub-Lobar Resection for <2cm Peripheral NSCLC Pre-registration Surgery: Confirm pathologic dx of NSCLC and N0 status by frozen section of R4, 7, 10 or L5, 6, 10 R an d o m iz a ti o n Lobectomy Limited resection (segmentectomy or wedge)

49 3. Patients who undergo SBRT/RFA may not be eligible to be evaluated with biologic staging with state of the art techniques, and may not receive the benefits of adjuvant therapy

52 CALGB Resection: Stage I Randomize (2:1) Adjuvant Chemotherapy Observation Genomic Risk Analysis High Risk Low Risk High Risk Low Risk

53 Improving Outcomes with Stage I Lung Cancer Clinical staging is insufficient to define stage I disease; a significant fraction (20-25%) of c-stage I patients are undertreated by SRS/RFA The risks of surgical therapy in high-risk patients may be overestimated Biologic staging and treatment strategies are currently dependent on tissue acquisition

54 Caveats Surgical resection without appropriate management of hilar and mediastinal lymph nodes, both preoperatively and intraoperatively, is worse than SBRT/RFA In the future, it is possible that biologic techniques would identify which patients could benefit from SBRT/RFA
