Introducing The New IASLC/ATS/ERS Lung Adenocarcinoma Classification Module 2 Implications of the New IASLC/ATS/ERS Classification
Rationale for New Adenocarcinoma Classification Lung cancer has the highest incidence and mortality rates of any major cancer worldwide Adenocarcinoma is the most common histologic subtype of NSCLC Widely divergent clinical, radiologic, molecular and pathologic spectrum Bronchioloalveolar carcinoma (BAC) terminology is confusing Used many different ways despite 99/04 WHO; mucinous/nonmucinous Rapid evolving molecular advances (EGFR, ALK) Different Treatment for squamous and non-squamous ADC=Adenocarcinoma; ALK=Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase; BAC=Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma; EGFR=Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor; WHO=World Health Organization
Lung Cancer Survival By Pathologic Stage: IASLC New Classification OS depends on pathologic stage Need to improve outcomes even in earliest-stage disease 5-Year OS rate Goldstraw P, et al. J Thorac Oncol 2007;2: 706-714.
Biomarker Selection: Purpose Prognostic Marker: Associates with outcome independent of therapy Predictive Marker: Associates with outcome for specific therapy Adjuvant Therapy Prognosis Prediction of benefit from specific therapies Advanced Disease Prediction of response/outcome after CT or targeted therapy

IASLC/ATS/ERS Adenocarcinoma Classification Preinvasive lesions Atypical Adenomatous Hyperplasia (AAH) Adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS, 3 cm) Non-mucinous Mucinous Minimally Invasive Adenocarcinoma (MIA, 3 cm) Lepidic predominant tumor with 5 mm invasion Invasive adenocarcinoma Lepidic pattern predominant Acinar pattern predominant Papillary pattern predominant Micropapillary pattern predominant Solid pattern predominant

Why Optimal Classification Matters Growth Pattern: Efficient Prognostic Factor Single institution study of patients with completely resected invasive ADC, N=487, stages IA through IV Patients with lepidic-predominant ADC have better survival than the other subtypes OS DFS Warth A.

Adenocarcinoma in Situ (Previous BAC): Implications for TNM Staging AIS would be classified as Tis Tis (squamous CIS) Tis (AIS) Similar to breast cancer Tis (DCIS) Tis (LCIS) MIA would be classified as Tmi

T1a Peripheral Lung Lesions Prospective, single-center study Goal: to establish an algorithm for the type of resection of small peripheral lesions using new indicators N=179 (10/97-09/02) T1a 2 cm on HRCT Hilar, mediastinal LN 1 cm (cn0) No organ dysfunction (cardiopulmonary or other) No active malignant lesions in other organs CLASSIFICATION 10 mm, any opacity type Any size, pure GGO 11-15 mm, GGO type 11-15 mm, solid type 16-20 mm, GGO type 16-20 mm, solid type Observation WWR, segmentectomy, VATS lobectomy Segmentectomy and LN sampling Segmentectomy and LN dissection Lobectomy and LN dissection size or density Resection margin + LN frozen section + VATS=video-assisted thoracic surgery; WWR: wide angle resection.

Screening-Detected Lung Cancers: Is Systematic Nodal Dissection Always Essential?

J Thorac Oncol 2011;6:525-30.
Surgical Key Issues Small (5-10 mm) 100 % GGO nodules suspected to be AIS or MIA: CT follow-up Lobectomy standard treatment for early stage NSCLC Limited resection may be appropriate for AIS-MIA (prospective trials) At least lobe-specific systematic nodal dissection advised ct1-2n0 or non-hilar N1: sampling appropriate Small AIS or MIA: lymph node sampling or dissection may not be required (no randomized trials!) Multiple lung adenocarcinoma considered for resection when multiple synchronous or metachronous, early stage primary tumors intrapulmonary metastases
Surgical Areas of Uncertainty Role of limited resection (lack of randomized trials)? Extent of lymph node dissection controversial Accuracy of frozen section (invasive lesions)? Role of focused radiation and radiofrequency ablation for NSCLC 3 cm? How to differentiate multiple primary tumors from synchronous metastases? Role of VATS diagnosis, staging and treatment of early-stage lung cancer? Van Schil P. Eur Resp J 2012;39:478-86.
Surgical Implications of the New Classification: Conclusions Small nodules: ct1an0 Heterogenous group Different behavior Limited resection: AIS < 2 cm (especially < 1 cm)? Minimally Invasive Adenocarcinoma (MIA)? > 50% GGO component on chest CT Peripheral tumor location No LN involvement Many unresolved issues and questions

Key Clinical Messages Good Clinical Practice If molecular testing is planned, biopsies should provide sufficient tissue for Pathologic diagnosis Molecular analyses Make cell block whenever possible from cytology specimens (i.e. pleural fluid) Multidisciplinary coordination necessary for rapid diagnosis and molecular testing
Conclusions BAC is no longer used. Such tumors are characterized as AIS, MIA, or invasive ADC Histology (ADC subtypes) is a prognostic factor Management of small lung lesions (including AIS, MIA, and invasive ADC) is evolving and studies are ongoing Molecular and histologic analyses of NSCLC (i.e. ADC or SQCC) play an important role in choice of therapy
