The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of spatial location of tumors on the prognosis of patients with left upper lung non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), with a focus on the S1+2+3 and lingual segment.
A total of 486 patients who underwent lobectomy and systematic lymph node dissection were collected retrospectively in this study (354 S1+2+3 and 132 lingual segment patients). Factors impacting survival were assessed via univariate analyses, multivariate analyses, and log-rank tests.
Compared with tumor location in S1+2+3, lingual segment tumor location of stage II to III left upper lung NSCLC patients was significantly associated with a better 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) (P=0.041). Multivariate analysis results showed that tumor location in the lingual segment was a good independent prognostic factor of stage II to III left upper lung NSCLC patients [hazard ratio (HR) =0.602, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.149-0.865, P=0.006). However, in stage I left upper lung NSCLC, tumor location (HR =1.069, 95% CI: 0.571-2.000, P=0.835) was not an independent prognostic factor, and only T2 (HR =2.422, 95% CI: 1.271-4.620, P=0.007) was an independent worse prognosis factor.
Tumor location in the lingual segment of left upper lung stage II to stage III NSCLC is a good independent prognostic factor compared with S1+2+3. Nevertheless, tumor location does not impact the prognosis of patients with stage I NSCLC in the left upper lung.
本研究旨在评估肿瘤的空间位置对左上肺非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)患者预后的影响,重点关注S1+2+3和舌段。
本研究回顾性收集了486例行肺叶切除术和系统性淋巴结清扫术的患者(354例S1+2+3患者和132例舌段患者)。通过单因素分析、多因素分析和对数秩检验评估影响生存的因素。
与肿瘤位于S1+2+3相比,II至III期左上肺NSCLC患者的舌段肿瘤位置与更好的5年无病生存率(DFS)显著相关(P=0.041)。多因素分析结果显示,舌段肿瘤位置是II至III期左上肺NSCLC患者良好的独立预后因素[风险比(HR)=0.602,95%置信区间(CI):0.149-0.865,P=0.006]。然而,在I期左上肺NSCLC中,肿瘤位置(HR =1.069,95%CI:0.571-2.000,P=0.835)不是独立的预后因素,只有T2(HR =2.422,95%CI:1.271-4.620,P=0.007)是独立的不良预后因素。
与S1+2+3相比,左上肺II至III期NSCLC舌段的肿瘤位置是良好的独立预后因素。然而,肿瘤位置并不影响左上肺I期NSCLC患者的预后。
