Effect of synchronous solitary bone metastasectomy and lung cancer resection on non-small cell lung cancer patients.

Abstract:

:Lung cancer is the most frequent cause of cancer-associated mortality among men and women globally. The skeleton is one of the most common metastatic sites. The majority of patients exhibiting bone metastases are treated using systemic therapy or symptom-based palliative approaches without surgery. The present study attempted to improve the therapeutic effects of synchronous surgeries in resectable non-small cell lung cancer patients exhibiting solitary bone metastasis. A total of 5 patients underwent synchronous lung cancer resections and solitary bone metastasectomies between October 2009 and November 2011 in the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital (Shanghai, China). All patients had received fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography-computed tomography or bone scintigraphy to demonstrate the presence of solitary bone metastasis and to exclude the presence of metastases at alternative sites. The patients received standard lung cancer and mediastinal lymph node resections. In addition, bone lesions were assessed by orthopedists and operated on synchronously with standard procedures. Following surgery, all patients were administered standard chemotherapeutic regimens. Perioperative indicators, including time for thoracic drainage, length of hospital stay, incidence of post-operative complications and progression-free survival (PFS) time, were observed. The average time for post-operative drainage was 4.6±1.1 days, and the average length of post-operative hospitalization was 8.8±2.2 days. All procedures were performed safely with no serious complications. The PFS of the patients was 13.2±7.7 months. While 2 patients presenting with spinal metastases succumbed at ~1 year post-surgery, the remaining 3 patients presenting with limb bone metastases survived for >16 months post-surgery, and were alive at the last follow-up. In conclusion, the present study indicated that a synchronous metastasectomy and lung tumor resection is a safe method of treatment. The PFS time and survival results demonstrated that on the rare occasion that a patient exhibits solitary bone metastasis, aggressive surgical treatment may be a potential therapeutic option.
