Background
Cardiovascular events (CVEs) have been observed in patients with chronic myeloid leukemia treated with second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors.Patients and Methods
We retrospectively evaluated the incidence of CVEs on 233 consecutive patients with chronic myeloid leukemia, of which 116 were treated with imatinib, 75 with dasatinib, and 42 with nilotinib. The median follow-up was 2047, 1712, and 1773 days, respectively.Results
The cumulative incidence of CVEs was 4.29%. Three events occurred during dasatinib treatment, 6 during nilotinib treatment, and none during imatinib treatment (P ≤ .001). Arterial occlusive events occurred in 2 (2.6%) of 75 patients treated with dasatinib and in 6 (14.2%) of 42 patients treated with nilotinib (P ≤ .001). Furthermore, all of them occurred in patients with high-risk (n = 2) and very high-risk (n = 6) cardiovascular risk, contributing to 4.3% of mortality.Conclusion
CVEs were more frequent in patients treated with second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors. Arterial occlusive events were more frequent in patients treated with nilotinib, with high and very high cardiovascular risk. 相似文献2.

Background
Locally advanced NSCLC is one of the most heterogeneous conditions, with multidimensional treatments involved. Neoadjuvant therapy had been commonly considered an optimal management strategy for patients with operable locally advanced. However, as targeted therapy has been widely applied in advanced NSCLC, neoadjuvant targeted therapy has remained poorly explored in locally advanced disease.Methods
We have described 11 ALK receptor tyrosine kinase gene (ALK)-positive patients with pathologically confirmed N2 NSCLC who were treated with neoadjuvant crizotinib. All the patients were treatment naive and received crizotinib at a starting dose of 250 mg twice daily. Patient 3 was provided with dynamic monitoring before and after neoadjuvant therapy through next-generation sequencing of plasma and tissue. In case 4, next-generation sequencing of preoperative tissue was performed.Results
Of the 11 patients, 10 had a partial response and one was stable disease after neoadjuvant crizotinib, with one suffering from grade 4 hepatic damage. Of the 11 patients, 10 (91.0%) received an R0 resection and 2 patients achieved a pathological complete response to neoadjuvant crizotinib. Six patients had disease recurrence, with five of them receiving crizotinib as first-line treatment and achieving a long duration of response. Dynamic monitoring of both plasma and tissue simultaneously indicated a decrease in sensitive ALK signaling in patient 3 and a partial response (approximately 50% of partial response), and no ALK-dependent resistance variants were captured.Conclusion
Neoadjuvant crizotinib may be feasible and well tolerated in locally advanced disease for complete resection. Crizotinib therapy before surgery may provide thorough elimination of circulating molecular residual disease and not influence the reuse of first-line crizotinib, but ongoing prospective trials are warranted to prove its efficacy in the neoadjuvant setting. 相似文献3.

Introduction
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women, and the incidence of brain metastasis (BM) from BC ranges from 20% to 30%, with a median survival of 10 to 15 months. Previous reports have shown that the presence of obesity or diabetes negatively impacts survival. The present study investigates the association between obesity or diabetes mellitus (DM) and overall survival of patients with BC with BM.Materials and Methods
A database from 2 referral centers for the period of July 2014 to February 2018 was analyzed. The inclusion criteria were as follows: patients who had a confirmed diagnosis of BC with BM were followed and treated at these centers. Demographic data, body weight and height, clinical and oncologic history, functional status, prognostic scales, and prognoses were examined.Results
A total of 228 patients were included. The median age at BM was 50 years; the median survival after diagnosis was 12.1 months; 108 patients had a body mass index (BMI) ≥ 25, and 40 (17%) patients had DM. The association between survival and the presence of BMI > 25 exhibited a P value of 0.3.Discussion
We found no association between overweight, obesity, or DM and survival in patients with BC with BM. The role of obesity in cancer is a robust research topic, as there are many questions to be answered.Conclusion
Obesity as a prognostic indicator should be further studied, because we found no association between overall survival and either patients with BM from BC with a BMI > 25 or those with normal weight. 相似文献4.

Background
Colon cancer is the third most frequent cancer diagnosis, and primary payer status has been shown to be associated with treatment modalities and survival in cancer patients. The goal of our study was to determine the between-insurance differences in survival in patients with clinical stage III colon cancer using data from the National Cancer Database (NCDB).Materials and Methods
We identified 130,998 patients with clinical stage III colon cancer in the NCDB diagnosed from 2004 to 2012. Kaplan-Meier curves and multivariable Cox regression models were used to determine the association between insurance status and survival.Results
Patients with private insurance plans were 28%, 30%, and 16% less likely to die than were uninsured patients, Medicaid recipients, and Medicare beneficiaries, respectively. Medicare patients were 14% were less likely to die compared with uninsured patients. Patients receiving chemotherapy were, on average, 65% less likely to die compared with the patients not receiving chemotherapy.Conclusion
Private insurance and a greater socioeconomic status were associated with increased patient survival compared with other insurance plans or the lack of insurance. Future research should continue to unravel how socioeconomic status and insurance status contribute to the quality of care and survival of oncologic patients. 相似文献5.

Introduction
Elderly patients are more prone to encounter some adverse factors when they receive chemotherapy compared to younger patients. Addition of rituximab to a reduced dose (RD) of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisolone (R-CHOP) chemotherapy might improve patient outcomes with an improved toxicity profile when provided to elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.Patients and Methods
A total of 53 patients aged ≥ 65 years with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma diagnosed between August 2012 and December 2014 were enrolled onto this study. RD-R-CHOP regimen consisted of rituximab at 375 mg/m2, cyclophosphamide at 600 mg/m2, doxorubicin at 30 mg/m2, and vincristine at 1 mg on day 1 of each cycle and 40 mg of prednisone on days 1 to 5. Patients received granulocyte colony-stimulating factor if they experienced grade 3/4 neutropenia or febrile neutropenia during any cycle.Results
The median follow-up duration was 18 months (range, 1-44 months). Complete response and overall response rates were 64.1% and 81.1%, respectively. Three-year event-free and overall survival rates were 45.7% ± 8.4% and 62.7% ± 8.1%, respectively. Grade 3/4 neutropenia occurred in 20 patients (37.7%), while febrile neutropenia occurred in 7 patients (20.7%).Conclusion
Outcomes of RD-R-CHOP chemotherapy were comparable to those of standard-dose R-CHOP or previous dose-adjusted R-CHOP chemotherapy. In the future, strategies such as tailored therapy based on geriatric assessment results are needed to determine the chemotherapeutic dosage. 相似文献6.

Aims
Ductal adenocarcinoma is a rare variant of prostate cancer, and as such clinical outcomes and best management are not well defined. This series demonstrates the atypical presentation and unusual clinical behaviour of ductal adenocarcinoma and proposes management guidelines to assist clinicians.Materials and methods
A retrospective review of pure (nine patients) and mixed (18 patients) ductal adenocarcinoma of the prostate referred to the Departments of Radiation Oncology of the Sydney Cancer Centre, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital and Northern Sydney Cancer Centre, Royal North Shore Hospital, between 2000 and 2015.Results
Twenty-seven patients were treated with definitive radiotherapy, nine patients (33%) with pure ductal and 18 (67%) with mixed ductal-acinar adenocarcinoma. The median follow-up was 38 months. Four patients (15%) failed locally, all of whom received less than 80 Gy, or no brachytherapy boost. Five patients (19%) failed distantly, four with biopsy-proven lung metastases. All distant failures occurred with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) < 3 ng/ml.Conclusion
This series shows the atypical clinical presentation of this entity, as well as its propensity to metastasise to unusual sites. Relapse may occur at low absolute PSA values and is often asymptomatic. Ductal cancer should not simply be regarded as a high Gleason grade cancer. We propose management guidelines, including regular computed tomography examinations (rather than relying solely on PSA levels) as part of the follow-up for patients with any component of ductal adenocarcinoma. 相似文献7.
Purpose
To assess the pharmacologic costs of second-line treatments for metastatic renal-cell cancer (mRCC).Methods
The present evaluation was restricted to pivotal phase 3 randomized controlled trials in second-line for mRCC. We calculated the pharmacologic costs necessary to get the benefit in progression-free survival and overall survival (OS) for each trial. The costs of drugs are at the pharmacy of our hospital and are expressed in euros.Results
Our analysis evaluated 5 phase 3 randomized controlled trials including 3112 patients. The lowest cost per month of progression-free survival and OS gained was associated with the use of cabozantinib (€2006 and €1473, respectively), while everolimus had the highest cost per month of OS gained (€28,590).Conclusion
Combining pharmacologic costs of drugs with the measure of efficacy represented by OS, cabozantinib is a cost-effective second-line treatments for patients with mRCC. 相似文献8.

Background
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematologic malignancy of plasma cell origin. MM primarily affects bone marrow, but extramedullary sites can also be involved. Myelomatous pleural effusion (MPE) is an atypical and rare complication of MM. We aimed to systematically study the incidence and clinicopathologic profile of patients with MPE in a real-world setting.Patients and Methods
In this retrospective study, 415 consecutive patients with MM managed at a tertiary care center in North India during a study period of January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2015 were evaluated for MPE. The patients with MPE were analyzed for their clinical profile, diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.Results
Of these 415 patients, 11 (2.65%) patients had MPE. The median age of the study population was 50 years with male preponderance. The majority of these patients had immunoglobin (Ig)G Kappa disease. All patients had higher than International Staging System stage I disease. MPE was a presenting feature at MM diagnosis in 45.45% (n = 5) of the patients, whereas the rest developed MPE during follow-up. MPE presented predominantly (81.8%) as a unilateral effusion. Concurrent extramedullary involvement at other site was seen in 45.45% (n = 5), with 3 (27%) patients having concurrent myelomatous ascites. Six of these were managed aggressively, whereas 5 patients opted for palliation. The outcomes were dismal (90.9% mortality), with a median survival of 2.47 months.Conclusion
MPE is a rare entity, and positive outcomes of therapy remain low with dismal prognosis. 相似文献9.

Background
Metastases to the brain occur in 10%-16% of patients with breast cancer, with incidence reportedly increasing. Historically, brain metastases (BM) have been treated with whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT), but stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is an increasingly favored treatment option. In this study we used a population-level database to compare patterns of care and survival between WBRT and SRS for BM from breast cancer.Materials and Methods
The National Cancer Database was used to select patients treated with radiation for BM from primary breast cancer. Groups were classified on the basis of the modality of radiation delivered to the brain and compared across several demographic factors. A Kaplan–Meier survival curve and Cox multivariate analysis were used to compare overall survival. A matched analysis using propensity scores was used to further reduce confounders and compare survival.Results
The treatment groups were significantly different across several socioeconomic variables including income, insurance status, and treatment setting. The percentage of patients who received SRS increased dramatically in the second half of the analyzed time period (P < .001). Unadjusted median survival was significantly longer for patients who received SRS versus those who received WBRT (P < .001). This finding persisted after propensity score-matching.Conclusion
Receipt of SRS was associated with different socioeconomic variables and longer overall survival compared with WBRT, highlighting the need for less toxic treatment for patients who are now living longer. The results revealed important socioeconomic differences between patients selected for SRS versus WBRT and emphasizes disparities in access to modern radiation techniques across the United States. 相似文献10.

Aims
To obtain an overview of the management and outcomes of children aged 18 years or younger diagnosed with differentiated thyroid carcinoma of follicular cell origin across the UK, by collecting and analysing data from the limited number of centres treating these patients. This multicentre data might provide a more realistic perspective than single-institution series.Materials and methods
Six centres submitted data extracted from historical records on patients aged 18 years or younger, diagnosed between 1964 and 2017. The univariate and multivariable Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify potential predictors of progression-free survival, using national data as a control.Results
Data on 166 patients were available for analysis. Females (74%) were predominant, and the age ranged from 3 to 19 years at diagnosis, mean 14.1 years. Nodal metastases were present in 51%; 12% had distant metastases. After surgery, 95% received radioactive iodine (39% on more than one occasion) and 4% received external beam radiotherapy. With a median follow-up duration of 5 years, 69% are alive with no evidence of disease; 20% are alive with a raised thyroglobulin level as the only evidence of residual disease; 6% have residual structural disease detectable on imaging; 2% have died, from cerebral metastases.Conclusion
Despite most patients having advanced disease at presentation, outcomes are very good. A national prospective registry should allow systematic collection of good-quality data and may facilitate research to further improve outcomes. 相似文献11.

Background
Recent trends have identified increasing number of young individuals with rectal and colon cancers. These individuals, who are younger than 50 years old, in most instances would not meet screening guidelines. We aimed to report the characteristics and trend of the rising proportion of young individuals being diagnosed with rectal and colon cancers at our institutions.Patients and Methods
This study included 3381 rectal and colon cancer patients from the Mayo Clinic cancer registry from 1972 to 2017 who were diagnosed with rectal or colon cancer and who were < 50 years old. Patient and cancer characteristics are described. The Cochran-Armitage trend test was used to see if the change in percentage diagnosed at age < 50 years had a significant trend over the years. A linear regression model was fit to estimate the percentage change per year when the trend was approximately linear.Results
The percentage of patients diagnosed with rectal or colon cancer in different age categories over the years showed a rising trend for individuals aged < 50. Most of these tumors were distal (rectum, left-sided colon, and right-sided colon were 49.8%, 28.8%, and 21.4%, respectively). This was more so for patients < 50 diagnosed with rectal cancer, which showed a linear increase at a rate of 0.26% per year (P < .001).Conclusion
Our study affirms the rising proportion of colorectal cancers found in young individuals, with a linear ongoing rise of rectal cancers in particular. This may have implications for the current screening recommendations for colorectal cancers, which are already being revised. 相似文献12.

Introduction
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a rare, but potentially serious, side effect associated with crizotinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor for anaplastic lymphoma kinase-positive (ALK+) advanced non–small cell lung cancer. Our objective was to determine the incidence and nature of ILD associated with crizotinib in 4 PROFILE trials (ClinicalTrials.gov identifiers, NCT00585195, NCT00932451, NCT00932893, and NCT01154140).Materials and Methods
Grade ≥ 3 respiratory adverse events (AEs) and serious AEs (SAEs) and any grade AEs/SAEs reported as pneumonitis, ILD, or radiation pneumonitis in trials PROFILE 1001, PROFILE 1005, PROFILE 1007, and PROFILE 1014 were evaluated by an expert independent review committee that included a pulmonologist, medical oncologist, and radiologist. Events were designated as disease progression, de novo ILD possibly or probably related to crizotinib, exacerbation or recurrence of pre-existing ILD, concurrent illness, other toxicity not thought to be related to ILD, or inconclusive.Results
The independent review committee evaluated 446 events (in 368 of 1669 patients who had received crizotinib therapy). They classified these events as follows: progressive disease, 77; de novo ILD, 20; pre-existing ILD, 3; concurrent illness, 9; other toxicities, 310; and inconclusive, 27. The incidence of de novo ILD was 1.2% overall, 1.3% in whites, and 1.2% overall in Asians, but greater at 3.7% in Japanese patients. The median onset of ILD from the initiation of crizotinib therapy was 23 days (range, 3-763 days). The mortality rate due to ILD was 50%. Survival was improved if crizotinib was discontinued on presentation of ILD (9 of 14 patients) compared with discontinued later or continued (1 of 6 patients).Conclusion
ILD associated with crizotinib, although rare, can occur at any time and requires close monitoring. 相似文献13.

Introduction
Lung cancer patients with tumors harboring actionable alterations can achieve very durable responses to first-line targeted therapy. However, identifying targetable alterations using next-generation sequencing (NGS) is a complex and time-intensive process. As actionable genetic alterations are enriched in lung cancers arising in patients with limited smoking history, we designed a workflow to expedite NGS testing for this group.Methods
We developed a protocol to allow for next-day extraction of nucleic acids from frozen tissue. Specimens were designated as high priority during sequencing. We determined the interval between biopsy and NGS results to evaluate whether the workflow reduced the pre-analytical period and in-laboratory turnaround time and allowed for rapid initiation of genotype-matched therapy.Results
Between January 2017 and May 2018, 21 patients participated in the expedited sequencing program. The median interval between biopsy and NGS results was 10.7 days. Six patients received results within 1 week of biopsy. Performing molecular analysis on frozen tissue and prioritizing sequencing and analysis of these specimens reduced the pre-analytical period from 3.5 to 1.3 days (p < 0.0001) and shortened in-laboratory turnaround time by 3 days (11.8 versus 8.4 business days, p < 0.0001). Ninety-three percent of patients with an actionable molecular alteration received first-line targeted therapy. The median time-to-initiation of treatment was 19.7 days from biopsy.Conclusions
Sequencing and analyzing nucleic acids from frozen tissue is a practical strategy for shortening the time to matched therapy. The significant advantage of upfront treatment with targeted therapies in subsets of lung cancer patients provides rationale for developing workflows that accelerate comprehensive molecular analysis. 相似文献14.

Background
In colorectal cancer liver metastases (CRCLM), bevacizumab-based neoadjuvant strategies provide increased pathologic response. We aimed at assessing the activity of perioperative capecitabine, oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and bevacizumab (COI-B regimen) in patients with potentially resectable CRCLM, and investigating biomarkers for early prediction of pathologic response.Patients and Methods
This was a single-center phase II study enrolling patients with liver-limited, borderline resectable disease and/or high-risk features. Patients received 5 preoperative and 4 postoperative cycles of biweekly COI-B (irinotecan 180 mg/m2 and bevacizumab 5 mg/Kg on day 1, oxaliplatin 85 mg/m2 on day 2, and capecitabine 1000 mg/m2 twice a day on days 2 to 6). The primary endpoint was pathologic response rate in the intention-to-treat population. A Simon 2-stage design was adopted to detect an increase from 30% to 50% with a power of 90%. Dynamic imaging biomarkers (early tumor shrinkage [ETS], deepness of response, maximum standardized uptake volume [SUVmax]/regression index) and next generation sequencing data were explored as surrogates.Results
From June 2013 to March 2017, 46 patients were enrolled. Pathologic response was achieved in 63% patients (endpoint met), and responders achieved significantly better survival outcomes with respect to non-responders. The most frequent grade 3/4 adverse events were diarrhea and neutropenia (8.7%) in the preoperative phase and thromboembolic events (5.9%) in the postoperative phase. ETS and lower SUV-2 were significantly associated with pathologic response.Conclusion
The COI-B regimen is a feasible and highly active perioperative strategy in patients with molecularly unselected, potentially resectable CRCLM. ETS and SUV-2 have a promising role as imaging-based biomarkers for pathologic response. 相似文献15.

Background
Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) are at risk of cardiovascular events (CVEs) as a result of disease burden– and treatment-related risk factors. Cardiac biomarkers have been reported to be more sensitive than left ventricular ejection fraction in detecting CVEs. We sought to explore CVEs risk factors in MM patients and to establish sensitive predictors of biomarkers.Patients and Methods
We studied 116 newly diagnosed MM patients who received chemotherapy in our department. Echocardiograms were examined at baseline and after 4 cycles of treatment, as well as upon clinical suspicion of a cardiac event or after an adjustment of treatment regimens. Cardiac biomarkers, including troponin T, myohemoglobin, and N terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), were estimated before each cycle and within 24 hours after chemotherapy, which was provided for at least 4 cycles.Results
Thirteen patients (11.2%) experienced CVEs, seven of which were subclinical. There was no significant difference between the CVE group and the non-CVE group in terms of general patient characteristics, MM disease factors, or chemotherapy drugs. The baseline levels of left ventricular ejection fraction and NT-proBNP were comparable between the 2 groups. NT-proBNP levels increased rapidly after chemotherapy and fell to normal levels before administration of the next cycle in all patients (60 pg/mL vs. 446 pg/mL, P < .001). Patients with asymptomatic CVEs showed a significantly higher proportion of progressively elevated NT-proBNP compared to symptomatic CVE and non-CVE patients (57% vs. 0 vs. 6.1%, P = .035).Conclusion
The dynamic change in NT-proBNP may predict early asymptomatic cardiac damage and allow interventional strategies to avoid cardiac decompensation. 相似文献16.

Introduction
Copanlisib is a phosphoinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor approved for the third-line treatment of follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although the drug is generally well-tolerated, it can be associated with several unique and potentially serious adverse effects (AEs). Two of the most common toxicities not seen with other PI3K inhibitors include hyperglycemia and hypertension, which primarily occur during infusion and resolve shortly thereafter, and likely relate to targeting the PI3K alpha isoform. Other toxicities less commonly observed with copanlisib than with other approved drugs in this class include non-infectious pneumonitis, infections, diarrhea and colitis, and hepatobiliary toxicity.Materials and Methods
A panel composed of experts in lymphoma, diabetes, and hypertension convened to develop guidance pertaining to the administration of copanlisib and the management of the AEs associated with copanlisib treatment.Results
Recommendations were formulated pertaining to the management of AEs associated with copanlisib treatment, particularly infusion-related hyperglycemia and hypertension, noninfectious pneumonitis, infections, diarrhea, and colitis. The recommendations herein reflect the consensus of the members of this panel, all of whom contributed to these suggested approaches to patient supportive care.Conclusion
There are a number of challenges associated with the use of copanlisib. Infusion-related hypertension and hyperglycemia occur frequently, although they are transient, reversible, and rarely of clinical significance; this report provides guidance as to their management. 相似文献17.

Background
There is evidence linking metformin to improved prostate cancer–related outcomes.Patients and Methods
Twenty-five men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) progression while receiving treatment with abiraterone from 3 Swiss centers were included in this single-arm phase 2 trial between November 2013 and September 2016. Metformin was added to abiraterone continuously at 1000 mg twice daily in uninterrupted 4-week cycles. The primary end point was the absence of disease progression at 12 weeks (PFS12). The Fleming single-stage design was applied. With a 5% significance level and 80% power, 25 patients were required to test PFS12 ≤ 15% (H0) compared to ≥ 35% (H1). Secondary end points included toxicity and safety issues. The study was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01677897).Results
The primary end point PFS12 was 12% (3 of 25 patients) (95% confidence interval, 3-31). Most patients had PSA progression, almost half had radiographic progression, but only 1 patient had symptomatic progression. Eleven (44%) of 25 patients had grade 1 and 2 patients each grade 2 (8%) or grade 3 (8%) gastrointestinal toxicity (nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite). One patient discontinued treatment at week 5 because of intolerable grade 3 diarrhea.Conclusion
The addition of metformin to abiraterone for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and PSA progression while receiving abiraterone therapy does not affect further progression and has no meaningful clinical benefit. A higher-than-expected gastrointestinal toxicity attributed to metformin was observed. 相似文献18.

Introduction
For never-smokers (smoked <100 lifetime cigarettes), lung cancer (LC) has emerged as an important issue. We aimed to investigate the effects of prevalence changes in tobacco smoking and particulate matter (PM) 2.5 (PM2.5) levels on LC in Taiwan, in relation to contrasting PM2.5 levels, between Northern Taiwan (NT) and Southern Taiwan (ST).Methods
We reviewed 371,084 patients with LC to assess smoking prevalence and correlations between the incidence of adenocarcinoma lung cancer (AdLC) and non-AdLC. Two subsets were selected to assess different AdLC stage trends and the effect of PM2.5 on survival of patients with AdLC.Results
From 1995 to 2015, the proportion of male adult ever-smokers decreased from 59.4% to 29.9% whereas the female smoking rate remained low (3.2% to 5.3%). AdLC incidence in males and females increased from 9.06 to 23.25 and 7.05 to 24.22 per 100,000 population, respectively. Since 1993, atmospheric visibility in NT improved (from 7.6 to 11.5 km), but deteriorated in ST (from 16.3 to 4.2 km). The annual percent change in AdLC stages IB to IV was 0.3% since 2009 (95% confidence interval [CI]: -1.9%–2.6%) in NT, and 4.6% since 2007 (95% CI: 3.3%–5.8%) in ST; 53% patients with LC had never smoked. Five-year survival rates for never-smokers, those with EGFR wild-type genes, and female patients with AdLC were 12.6% in NT and 4.5% in ST (hazard ratio: 0.79, 95% CI: 0.70–0.90).Conclusions
In Taiwan, greater than 50% of patients with LC had never smoked. PM2.5 level changes can affect AdLC incidence and patient survival. 相似文献19.

Patients with stage IV NSCLC treated with an ALK inhibitor at the University of Colorado Cancer Center from 2009 through November 2017 were identified retrospectively. OS curves were constructed by using Kaplan-Meier methods. Multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis was used to determine the relationship of variables with OS.Results
Of the 110 patients with ALK-positive NSCLC who were identified, 105 received crizotinib as their initial ALK inhibitor. With a median follow-up time of 47 months, the median OS time from diagnosis of stage IV disease was 81 months (6.8 years). Brain metastases at diagnosis of stage IV disease (hazard ratio = 1.01, p = 0.971) and year of stage IV presentation (p = 0.887) did not influence OS. More organs with tumor at diagnosis of stage IV disease was associated with worse OS (HR = 1.49 for each additional organ with disease, including the CNS [p = 0.002]). Each additional month of pemetrexed-based therapy was associated with a 7% relative decrease in risk of death.Conclusion
Patients with stage IV ALK-positive NSCLC can have prolonged OS. Brain metastases at diagnosis of stage IV disease does not influence OS. Having more organs involved with tumor at stage IV presentation is associated with worse outcomes. Prolonged benefit from pemetrexed is associated with better outcomes. 相似文献20.
