Abstract
Medical oncologists are required to propose and implement the optimal treatment for individual patients with cancer in cooperation with doctors and medical staff in each area as the control tower of the cancer treatment team within the medical institute. On the other hand, core hospitals in regional areas have limited numbers of medical oncologists, as well as doctors and staff in each specialized field, and cannot necessarily cover all areas like core cancer hospitals in metropolitan areas. Therefore, it is necessary for each medical facility in the local area to cooperate with the limited number of personnel and equipment and to deal across the region. To this mission, it is desirable to plan and manage areas such as the training of specialists and specialist staff, research and practice activities, enlightenment in cooperation with the government, cancer- related information, cancer education, and cancer advocacy. In order to fulfill this role smoothly, oncologists should take the initiative in demonstrating their social skills.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adjuvant oral uracil-tegafur (UFT) has led to significantly longer postoperative survival among patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Gemcitabine (GEM) monotherapy is also reportedly effective for NSCLC and has minor adverse events (AEs). This study compared the efficacy of GEM- versus UFT-based adjuvant regimens in patients with completely resected pathological stage (p-stage) IB-IIIA NSCLC. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with completely resected p-stage IB-IIIA NSCLC were randomly assigned to GEM or UFT. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS); secondary endpoints were disease-free survival (DFS), and AEs. RESULTS We assigned 305 patients to the GEM group and 303 to the UFT group. Baseline factors were balanced between the arms. Of the 608 patients, 293 (48.1%) had p-stage IB disease, 195 (32.0%) had p-stage II disease and 121 (19.9%) had p-stage IIIA disease. AEs were generally mild in both groups, and only one death occurred, in the GEM group. After a median follow-up of 6.8 years, the two groups did not significantly differ in survival: 5 year OS rates were GEM: 70.0%, UFT: 68.8% (hazard ratio 0.948; 95% confidence interval 0.73-1.23; P = 0.69). CONCLUSION Although GEM-based adjuvant therapy for patients with completely resected stage IB-IIIA NSCLC was associated with acceptable toxicity, it did not provide longer OS than did UFT.

Abstract
Importance Insufficient data are available regarding the long-term outcomes and cumulative incidences of toxic effects that are associated with chemoradiotherapy (CRT) for patients with stage III non-small-cell lung cancer. Objective To evaluate survival and late toxic effects 10 years after patients were treated with curative CRT. Design, Setting, and Participants This multicenter, phase 3 West Japan Thoracic Oncology Group (WJTOG) 0105 randomized clinical trial was conducted between September 2001 and September 2005 in Japan. Patients with histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small-cell lung cancer with unresectable stage III disease were assessed for eligibility. Additional data were analyzed from January 2018 to December 2019. Interventions A total of 440 eligible patients were randomly assigned to groups as follows: A (control), 4 cycles of mitomycin/vindesine/cisplatin plus thoracic radiotherapy (TRT) of 60 Gy; B, weekly irinotecan/carboplatin for 6 weeks plus TRT of 60 Gy followed by 2 courses of irinotecan/carboplatin consolidation; or C, weekly paclitaxel/carboplatin for 6 weeks plus TRT of 60 Gy followed by 2 courses of paclitaxel/carboplatin consolidation. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was 10-year survival probability after CRT. The secondary outcome was late toxic effects that occurred more than 90 days after initiating CRT. Results From September 2001 to September 2005, 440 patients (group A, n = 146 [33.2%; median (range) age, 63 (31-74) years; 18 women (12.3%)]; group B, n = 147 [33.4%; median (range) age, 63 (30-75) years; 22 women (15.0%)]; group C, n = 147 [33.4%; median (range) age, 63 (38-74) years; 19 women (12.9%)]) were enrolled. The median (range) follow-up was 11.9 (7.6-13.3) years. In groups A, B, and C, median (range) overall survival times were 20.5 (17.5-26.0), 19.8 (16.7-23.5), and 22.0 (18.7-26.2) months, respectively, and 10-year survival probabilities were 13.6%, 7.5%, and 15.2%, respectively. There were no significant differences in overall survival among treatment groups. The 10-year progression-free survival probabilities were 8.5%, 6.5%, and 11.1% in groups A, B, and C, respectively. Grade 3 or 4 late toxic effect rates were 3.4% (heart, 0.7%; lung, 2.7%) in group A, and those only affecting the lung represented 3.4% and 4.1% in groups B and C, respectively. No other cases of late toxic effects (grades 3/4) were observed since the initial report. Conclusion and Relevance In this 10-year follow-up of a phase 3 randomized clinical trial, group C achieved similar efficacy and toxic effect profiles as group A 10 years after initiating treatment. These results serve as a historical control for the long-term comparisons of outcomes of future clinical trials of CRT. Trial Registration UMIN Clinical Trial Registry: UMIN000030811.

Abstract
Importance Although profiling of gene expression and gene alterations by next-generation sequencing (NGS) to predict the primary tumor site and guide molecularly targeted therapy might be expected to improve clinical outcomes for cancer of unknown primary site (CUP), to our knowledge, no clinical trial has previously evaluated this approach. Objective To assess the clinical use of site-specific treatment, including molecularly targeted therapy based on NGS results, for patients with CUP. Design, Setting, and Participants This phase 2 clinical trial was conducted at 19 institutions in Japan and enrolled 111 previously untreated patients with the unfavorable subset of CUP between March 2015 and January 2018, with 97 patients being included in the efficacy analysis. Eligibility criteria included a diagnosis of unfavorable CUP after mandatory examinations, including pathological evaluation by immunohistochemistry, chest-abdomen-pelvis computed tomography scans, and a positron emission tomography scan. Interventions RNA and DNA sequencing for selected genes was performed simultaneously to evaluate gene expression and gene alterations, respectively. A newly established algorithm was applied to predict tumor origin based on these data. Patients received site-specific therapy, including molecularly targeted therapy, according to the predicted site and detected gene alterations. Main Outcomes And Measures The primary end point was 1-year survival probability. Secondary end points included progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), objective response rate, safety, efficacy according to predicted site, and frequency of gene alterations. Results Of 97 participants, 49 (50.5%) were women and the median (range) age was 64 (21-81) years. The cancer types most commonly predicted were lung (21 [21%]), liver (15 [15%]), kidney (15 [15%]), and colorectal (12 [12%]) cancer. The most frequent gene alterations were in TP53 (45 [46.4%]), KRAS (19 [19.6%]), and CDKN2A (18 [18.6%]). The 1-year survival probability, median OS, and median PFS were 53.1% (95% CI, 42.6%-62.5%), 13.7 months (95% CI, 9.3-19.7 months), and 5.2 months (95% CI, 3.3-7.1 months), respectively. Targetable EGFR mutations in tumor specimens were detected in 5 patients with predicted non-small-cell lung cancer (5.2%), 4 of whom were treated with afatinib; 2 of these patients achieved a durable PFS of longer than 6 months. Conclusions and Relevance This study's findings suggest that site-specific treatment, including molecularly targeted therapy based on profiling gene expression and gene alterations by NGS, can contribute to treating patients with the unfavorable subset of CUP.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although the characteristics of electroencephalograms (EEGs) have been reported to change with age, anaesthesia-dependent oscillatory features and reactivity of the super-elderly EEG to anaesthesia have not been examined in detail. METHODS Participants comprised 20 super-elderly patients (age; mean ± standard deviation, 87.1 ± 3.8 years) and 20 young adult patients (35.5 ± 8.5 years). At three levels of sevoflurane anaesthesia (minimum alveolar concentration [MAC] of 0.3, 0.7, and 1.4), oscillatory features of the frontal EEG were examined by analysing quadratic phase coupling (bicoherence) and power spectrum in α and δ-θ areas and compared in an anaesthesia-dependent manner, using the Friedman test. RESULTS Among super-elderly individuals, bicoherences in the δ-θ area showed anaesthesia-dependent increases (median [interquartile range], 12.9% [5.2%], 19.2% [9.1%], 23.3% [8.7%]; 0.3, 0.7, 1.4 MAC sevoflurane, p = 0.000), whereas bicoherence in the α area did not change at these different anaesthesia levels (11.2% [3.9%], 12.5% [4.4%], 14.1% [5.7%], respectively; p = 0.142), counter to the results found in young adult patients, where both δ-θ and α bicoherences changed with anaesthesia. CONCLUSIONS In the super-elderly, δ-θ bicoherence of EEG shows anaesthesia- dependent changes, whereas α activity remains small irrespective of anaesthesia level. SIGNIFICANCE Quantification of δ-θ bicoherence is a candidate for anaesthesia monitoring in the super-elderly.

Abstract
e15577 Background: Although gene profiling is a promising diagnostic technique to determine the tissue of origin for pts with CUP, we reported that site-specific treatment based on gene profiling using microarray did not result in an improvement the survival compared with empirical therapy in the previous randomized phase 2 trial (Hayashi, et. al, JCO 2019). Recently, we have established new integrative diagnostic system combined the gene expression from RNA-sequencing and mutation/copy number variation data from targeted genomic-sequencing using NGS. We have performed a single-arm phase 2 study to assess the efficacy of site-specific therapy determined by this system in previously untreated pts with CUP. Methods: Comprehensive gene profiling was performed by NGS, and an established algorithm was applied to predict tumor origin. Pts with CUP was received site-specific chemotherapy determined by the predicted site. The primary endpoint was one-year survival rate. Results: A total of 111 pts was enrolled and all had sufficient biopsy tissue for gene profiling. Efficacy analysis was performed for 97 pts who received site-specific treatment. Cancer types most commonly predicted were lung (21%), liver (15%), kidney (15%), and colorectal cancer (12%). The one-year survival rate, median overall survival (OS), and progression free survival (PFS) was 53.1% (95%CI, 42.6-62.5%), 13.7 months (95% CI, 9.3-19.7 months), and 5.2 months (95% CI, 3.3-7.1 months), respectively. Median OS (15.7 versus 11.0 months, P = .078) and PFS (5.5 versus 2.8 months, P = .019) were better for predicted tumor types categorized as more responsive types than for less responsive ones. Conclusions: Site-specific treatment based on NGS demonstrated promising efficacy. Pts with CUP predicted to have more responsive tumor types had longer survival compared with pts with less responsive tumor types, suggesting that molecular tumor profiling by both DNA and RNA testing contributes to the management of pts with CUP.

Abstract
PURPOSE A radiofrequency identification (RFID) tag system was designed to streamline cryopreservation and thawing procedures. This study evaluated the usefulness of the RFID tag system for improving the efficiency of cryopreserving/thawing bovine ovarian tissue by the closed vitrification protocol. METHODS Six participants carried out closed vitrification and thawing of bovine ovarian tissues procedures using either the conventional or the new RFID tag method, and the time required to perform each step of the respective methods was measured. After normality of data was confirmed by the Shapiro-Wilk test, the significance of differences was assessed by the unpaired t test. RESULTS When closed vitrification was performed, the time required for each step showed a significant difference between the two methods (t(4) = 2.938, p = 0.042, d = 2.40), and the total cryopreservation time was 11 min shorter using the RFID tag system. When thawing was performed, the time required for each step also showed a significant difference between the two methods (t(4) = 2.797, p = 0.049, d = 2.28), and the total thawing time was 2 min shorter using the RFID tag system. CONCLUSION The RFID tag system tested in this study seems to be suitable for managing biological samples stored in liquid nitrogen. Adoption of an RFID tag system by fertility centers may not only improve the efficiency of cryopreserving/thawing reproductive tissues but could also reduce human error.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Macrophage phagocytosis constitutes an essential part of the host defence against microbes and the resolution of inflammation. Hyperglycaemia during sepsis is reported to reduce macrophage function, and thus, potentiate inflammatory deterioration. We investigated whether high-glucose concentrations augment lipopolysaccharide-induced reduction in macrophage phagocytosis via the endoplasmic stress-C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) pathway using animal and laboratory investigations. METHODS Peritoneal macrophages of artificially ventilated male Wistar rats, divided into four groups based on target blood glucose concentrations achieved by glucose administration with or without lipopolysaccharide, were obtained after 24 h. Human macrophages were also cultured in normal or high glucose with or without lipopolysaccharide exposure for 72 h. Changes in the phagocytic activity, intranuclear CHOP expression, and intracellular Akt phosphorylation status of macrophages were evaluated. These changes were also evaluated in human macrophages after genetic knock-down of CHOP by specific siRNA transfection or resolvin D2 treatment. RESULTS Lipopolysaccharide impaired phagocytosis, increased intranuclear expression of CHOP, and inhibited Akt phosphorylation in both rat peritoneal and human macrophages. Hyperglycaemic glucose concentrations augmented these changes. Genetic knock-down of CHOP restored phagocytic ability and Akt phosphorylation in human macrophages. Furthermore, resolvin D2 co-incubation restored the inhibited phagocytosis and Akt phosphorylation along with the inhibition of intranuclear CHOP expression in human macrophages. CONCLUSIONS These findings imply that controlling endoplasmic reticulum stress might provide new strategies for restoring reduced macrophage phagocytosis in sepsis-induced hyperglycaemia.

Abstract
A prospective study has previously reported on the incidence of bone metastasis (BM) and skeletal-related events (SREs) in patients with advanced lung cancer. The aim of the present study was to prospectively investigate how the quality of life (QOL) of patients with advanced lung cancer was affected by SREs. Patients with stage IIIB or IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or small cell lung cancer (SCLC) at any stage were followed up every four weeks to determine if they had developed SREs. QOL questionnaires were conducted at enrollment, at 3- and 12-months later and at 1 month after the onset of SREs, using QOL scores including the EuroQOL-5 Dimension (EQ-5D), Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General (FACT-G) and activities of daily living (ADL) scores obtained by the Barthel Index. A total of 274 patients were enrolled in the study. At enrollment the EQ-5D and Barthel Index scores were lower in patients with SREs compared with patients without SREs. A chronological analysis revealed no statistically significant changes in either QOL or ADL in any of the patients. For 14 patients in whom QOL data was collected following the onset of SREs, the evaluation undertaken on the four subscales of the FACT-G revealed a significant decline in emotional functioning following the onset of SREs.

Abstract
Skin reactions to nivolumab are typical immune-related adverse events. We investigated the relation between patient background and test values before nivolumab administration and skin reactions. From February 2016 to February 2017, we evaluated the clinical outcomes of 21 patients who were administered nivolumab. Patients were divided into 2 groups: 3 cases of skin reactions to nivolumab(skin reaction group)and 18 cases without skin reactions to nivolumab(non-skin reaction group). In the skin reaction group, the numbers of eosinophils and basophils before nivolumab administration were significantly higher than those in the non-skin reaction group(p=0.0015 and p=0.0075, respectively). It was suggested that the numbers of eosinophils or basophils before nivolumab administration might be associated with the appearance of skin reactions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preclinical studies show that opioids promote angiogenesis, tumor progression, and metastasis, resulting in shorter survival. OBJECTIVE To explore whether opioids are associated with the overall survival (OS) of patients with incurable nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). DESIGN Prospective cohort study of patients with NSCLC. SETTING We investigated patients newly diagnosed with advanced or post-operative recurrent NSCLC between April 2013 and December 2015 at a single institute. MEASUREMENTS We evaluated OS, opioid requirements, opioid doses, pain levels, and prognostic factors of advanced NSCLC. The effects of variables on survival were analyzed using univariable and multivariable models. Patients were stratified according to oral morphine equivalents (OMEs)/day (<60 or ≥60 mg) to assess the association between opioid dose and OS. RESULTS We analyzed 150 patients, including 64 who received opioid treatment during follow-up. The median OS was 242 days in the opioid group and 627 days in the no-opioid group (log-rank p < 0.001). Multivariable models revealed that the opioid requirement was an independent predictor of shorter OS, after adjustment for prognostic variables, including sex, histology, stage, history of systemic chemotherapy, and performance status (hazard ratio 1.73, 95% confidence interval 1.137-2.631). There was no significant difference in OS between patients who received ≥60 mg OME/day for 250 days versus <60 OME/day for 242 days. CONCLUSIONS The opioid dose does not shorten the survival of patients with advanced NSCLC. The opioid requirement is associated with shorter survival when opioids are administered any time during the clinical course, independent of the influence of other key factors.

Abstract
Introduction Next-generation epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have been developed to overcome resistance to earlier generations of such drugs mediated by a secondary T790M mutation of EGFR, but the performance of a second tumor biopsy to assess T790M mutation status can be problematic. Methods We developed and evaluated liquid biopsy assays for detection of TKI-sensitizing and T790M mutations of EGFR by droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) in EGFR mutation–positive non–small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with acquired EGFR-TKI resistance. Results A total of 260 patients was enrolled between November 2014 and March 2015 at 29 centers for this West Japan Oncology Group (WJOG 8014LTR) study. Plasma specimens from all subjects as well as tumor tissue or malignant pleural effusion or ascites fluid from 41 patients were collected after the development of EGFR-TKI resistance. All plasma samples were genotyped successfully and the results were reported to physicians within 14 days. TKI-sensitizing and T790M mutations were detected in plasma of 120 (46.2%) and 75 (28.8%) patients, respectively. T790M was detected in 56.7% of patients with plasma positive for TKI-sensitizing mutations. For the 41 patients with paired samples obtained after acquisition of EGFR-TKI resistance, the concordance for mutation detection by ddPCR in plasma compared with tumor tissue or malignant fluid specimens was 78.0% for TKI-sensitizing mutations and 65.9% for T790M. Conclusions Noninvasive genotyping by ddPCR with cell-free DNA extracted from plasma is a promising approach to the detection of gene mutations during targeted treatment.

Abstract
8532 Background: In the phase III JCOG0301 trial, concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CRT) was compared with radiotherapy (RT), demonstrating clinically significant survival benefits in elderly patients with locally advanced NSCLC after a median follow-up of 19.4 months. However, the long-term patterns and cumulative incidences of toxicity associated with CRT and RT are poorly understood for elderly patients. We report long-term survival data and late toxicities after a minimum follow-up of 6.4 years. Methods: Eligible patients were older than 70 years and had unresectable stage III NSCLC. They were randomly assigned to RT alone (RT arm: irradiation with 60 Gy in 30 fractions) or CRT (CRT arm: the same RT with additional concurrent use of carboplatin 30 mg/m2 per fraction up to the first 20 fractions). The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Prognosis and adverse events data were collected beyond those in the initial report of this trial. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and 3- and 5-year survival proportions were calculated. Late toxicities were defined as occurring later than 90 days after RT initiation. Results: From September 2003 to May 2010, 200 patients (RT arm, n = 100; CRT arm, n = 100) were enrolled. Consistent with the initial report, the CRT arm had better OS than the RT arm (HR = 0.743, 95% CI = 0.552 – 0.998, one-sided p = 0.0239 by stratified log-rank test). In the RT and CRT arms, median OS was 16.5 and 21.7 months, 3-year survival was 16.3% and 34.3%, and 5-year survival was 9.2% and 15.2%, respectively. %Grade 3/4 late toxicities were 7.4% (heart 2.1%, lung 5.3%) in the RT arm (n = 94) and 7.5% (esophagus 1.1%, lung 6.5%) in the CRT arm (n = 93). No additional cases of late toxicity (Grade 3/4) were seen since the initial report. There were 7 treatment-related deaths, all of which were recorded in the initial report: 4 (4.0%) in the RT arm and 3 (3.0%) in the CRT arm. Conclusions: Long-term follow-up confirms the survival benefits of CRT for elderly patients with locally advanced NSCLC. There was no observed increase in late toxicity with CRT, as compared with RT alone. Clinical trial information: 00132665.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bevacizumab combined with platinum-based chemotherapy has been established as a standard treatment option in the first-line setting for advanced nonsquamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, there has been no evidence to support the use of bevacizumab beyond disease progression in such patients. METHODS West Japan Oncology Group 5910L was designed as a multicenter, open-label, randomized, phase 2 trial of docetaxel versus docetaxel plus bevacizumab every 3 weeks for patients with recurrent or metastatic nonsquamous NSCLC whose disease had progressed after first-line treatment with bevacizumab plus a platinum-based doublet. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS One hundred patients were randomly assigned to receive docetaxel (n = 50) or docetaxel plus bevacizumab (n = 50), and this yielded median PFS times of 3.4 and 4.4 months, respectively, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.71 and a stratified log-rank P value of .058, which met the predefined criterion for statistical significance (P < .2). The median overall survival also tended to be longer in the docetaxel plus bevacizumab group (13.1 months; 95% confidence interval [CI], 10.6-21.4 months) versus the docetaxel group (11.0 months; 95% CI, 7.6-16.1 months) with an HR of 0.74 (95% CI, 0.46-1.19; stratified log-rank P = .11). No unexpected or severe adverse events were recorded. CONCLUSIONS Further evaluation of bevacizumab beyond disease progression is warranted for patients with advanced NSCLC whose disease has progressed after treatment with bevacizumab plus a platinum-based doublet.

Abstract
We investigated the efficacy and safety of albumin-bound paclitaxel (nab-PTX) and carboplatin (CBDCA) with concurrent radiotherapy for unresectable locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients with Stage III NSCLC and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 or 1 were eligible. Concurrent chemoradiotherapy consisted of weekly administration of nab-PTX (40 mg/m(2)) plus CBDCA (area under the plasma concentration time curve (AUC) 2) and thoracic radiotherapy (60 Gy/30 fractions) for a total of 6 weeks. After concurrent chemoradiotherapy, patients received an additional two cycles of consolidation phase chemotherapy that consisted of 4-week cycles of nab-PTX (100 mg/m(2) on Days 1, 8 and 15)/CBDCA (AUC 5 mg/ml/min on Day 1). Response was evaluated in accordance with the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors. Progression-free survival and overall survival were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Toxicity was graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events. A total of 10 patients were enrolled in this trial between September 2013 and January 2014 from three institutes. The overall response rate was 40.0% and the median progression-free survival was 6.7 months. Treatment-related death occurred in two patients. Grade 2 or worse severe radiation pneumonitis was observed in all three patients that had the volume of lung receiving at least 20 Gy (V20) >30%. The results of this study indicate that no further investigation is warranted into nab-PTX and CBDCA with concurrent thoracic radiation for Stage III NSCLC with V20 > 30% due to severe toxicity.

Abstract
Purpose This phase III trial aimed to confirm the superiority of weekly docetaxel and cisplatin over docetaxel monotherapy in elderly patients with advanced non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Patients and Methods Chemotherapy-naïve patients with stage III, stage IV, or recurrent NSCLC age ≥ 70 years with a performance status of 0 or 1 who were considered unsuitable for bolus cisplatin administration were randomly assigned to receive docetaxel 60 mg/m2 on day 1, every 3 weeks, or docetaxel 20 mg/m2 plus cisplatin 25 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, and 15, every 4 weeks. The primary end point was overall survival (OS). Results In the first interim analysis, OS of the doublet arm was inferior to that of the monotherapy arm (hazard ratio [HR], 1.56; 95% CI, 0.98 to 2.49), and the predictive probability that the doublet arm would be statistically superior to the monotherapy arm on final analysis was 0.996%, which led to early study termination. In total, 276 patients with a median age of 76 years (range, 70 to 87 years) were enrolled. At the updated analysis, the median survival time was 14.8 months for the monotherapy arm and 13.3 months for the doublet arm (HR, 1.18; 95% CI, 0.83 to 1.69). The rates of grade ≥ 3 neutropenia and febrile neutropenia were higher in the monotherapy arm, and those of anorexia and hyponatremia were higher in the doublet arm. Conclusion This study failed to demonstrate any survival advantage of weekly docetaxel plus cisplatin over docetaxel monotherapy as first-line chemotherapy for advanced NSCLC in elderly patients.

Abstract
Archival formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tumor specimens were collected from advanced NSCLC patients enrolled in LETS phase III trial comparing first-line S-1/carboplatin with paclitaxel/carboplatin and subjected to multiplex genotyping for 214 somatic hotspot mutations in 26 genes (LungCarta Panel) and 20 major variants of ALK, RET, and ROS1 fusion genes (LungFusion Panel) with the Sequenom MassARRAY platform. MET amplification was evaluated by fluorescence in situ hybridization. A somatic mutation in at least one gene was identified in 48% of non–squamous cell carcinoma and 45% of squamous cell carcinoma specimens, with EGFR (17%), TP53 (11%), STK11 (9.8%), MET (7.6%), and KRAS (6.2%). Mutations in EGFR or KRAS were associated with a longer or shorter median overall survival, respectively. The LungFusion Panel identified ALK fusions in six cases (2.5%), ROS1 fusions in five cases (2.1%), and a RET fusion in one case (0.4%), with these three types of rearrangement being mutually exclusive. Nine (3.9%) of 229 patients were found to be positive for de novo MET amplification. This first multiplex genotyping of NSCLC associated with a phase III trial shows that MassARRAY-based genetic testing for somatic mutations and fusion genes performs well with nucleic acid derived from FFPE specimens of NSCLC tissue.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Analyses of tumor biopsy samples from non-small cell lung cancer patients with acquired epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) resistance are expected to reveal the molecular mechanisms of resistance. However, due to limited tissue availability, performing such analyses can be challenging. We herein investigated the feasibility of tumor rebiopsy in this patient population. METHODS From April 2004 to March 2013, 53 consecutive patients were treated with EGFR-TKIs at our department. A retrospective medical chart review was conducted among patients with progressive disease (PD) according to the Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors criteria, as assessed radiographically. Sites of progression were evaluated at the time of PD. RESULTS Forty patients experienced PD at the following sites: isolated central nervous system (CNS) in 10 patients; isolated bone in five patients; isolated lymph nodes in two patients; the primary lesion in 10 patients; and systemic disease in 11 patients. Concerning the site of progression, 20 of the 40 patients had a lesion that could be accessed using endobronchial, transbronchial or percutaneous biopsy procedures. Among the 19 patients with oligoprogressive disease or CNS failure, the median overall survival was 24.1 months in eight patients who had received continuing treatment with EGFR-TKIs following radiotherapy and 16.8 months in 11 patients who received other therapies after PD. CONCLUSION In this study, few patients had a site of progression capable of being accessed using relatively noninvasive biopsy procedures. Further investigations are warranted to develop more optimal treatment strategies after PD in patients with oligoprogressive disease or CNS failure.

Abstract
Endobronchial electrocautery using a polypectomy snare may serve as a useful tool for treating patients with airway obstructing polypoid tumors. An 84-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of an abnormal shadow observed on chest radiography. He was diagnosed with advanced squamous cell carcinoma, located in the right lower lobe of the lung along with metastatic lesions and obstructive pneumonia. He declined systemic chemotherapy because of his age. Endobronchial electrocautery using a polypectomy snare was performed to treat the obstructive pneumonia. The patient's quality of life improved after polypectomy. This was due to an improvement in malaise and a spontaneous decrease in the size of the hepatic metastasis tumor.

Abstract
CCAAT/enhancer binding protein-beta (C/EBP-beta) is a transcription factor that belongs to the C/EBP family. To understand the role of C/EBP-beta in the peripheral nervous system, we investigated the expression of C/EBP-beta in the dorsal root ganglion. C/EBP-beta was weakly detected in nuclei of naive dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons. Spinal nerve ligation increased the expression of C/EBP-beta in L4 and L5 DRG neurons. Treatment with anti-TNF-alpha prevented SNL-induced pain hypersensitivity and C/EBP-beta expression in the DRG. Injection of TNF-alpha into the sciatic nerve produced transient pain hypersensitivity and induction of C/EBP-beta expression in the DRG. These results demonstrate that C/EBP-beta is activated in the DRG neurons by a TNF-alpha-dependent manner and might be involved in the activation of primary afferent neurons after nerve injury.

Abstract
The aim of this open-label, multicenter, randomized phase II trial was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of zoledronic acid in combination with docetaxel in previously treated patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and bone metastases. In this study, patients randomly received docetaxel (60 mg/m2) with (group DZ) or without (group D) zoledronic acid every 21 days. There were 50 patients in each group, and the primary endpoint was progression-free survival. In an efficacy analysis of 94 patients (DZ, 48; D, 46), the median progression-free survival was 2.7 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5–3.5 months) for the DZ group and 2.6 months (95% CI, 1.5–3.4 months) for the D group (stratified log-rank test, P = 0.89). The median overall survival was 10.4 months (95% CI, 7.0–15.8 months) for the DZ group and 9.7 months (95% CI, 6.1–12.5 months) for the D group (stratified log-rank test, P = 0.62). There were no clinically relevant differences in the frequencies of grade 3 or 4 adverse events between the two groups. No treatment-related deaths occurred in the DZ group. Zoledronic acid combined with docetaxel was well tolerated but did not meet the primary endpoint of demonstrating a longer progression-free survival in advanced NSCLC patients with bone metastases compared with docetaxel alone. This trial was registered with the University Hospital Medical Information Network (UMIN000001098).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone metastasis (BM) is a frequent complication in patients with advanced lung cancer and it causes skeletal-related events (SREs). Our study aim is to prospectively investigate the incidence of BM, incidence and types of SRE, and predictive factors of BM and SREs. METHODS Newly diagnosed, advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) or small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) patients were enrolled into the study. Patients were followed up every 4 weeks to monitor the development of SREs. Treatment for lung cancer was performed at the discretion of the investigator. RESULTS Two hundred seventy-four patients were enrolled in this study between April 2007 and December 2009 from 12 institutions. Patients included 77 cases of SCLC and 197 of NSCLC (stage IIIB/IV = 73/124). Median follow-up time was 13.8 months. The incidence of BM at initial diagnosis was 48% in stage IV NSCLC and 40% in extensive stage (ED)-SCLC. Forty-five percent of patients who developed BM had SREs consisting of pathologic fracture (4.7%), radiation to bone (15.3%), spinal cord compression (1.1%), and hypercalcemia (2.2%). Multivariate analysis revealed that factors predicting BM are stage IV, performance status 1 or greater and higher bone alkaline phosphatase in NSCLC patients, higher lactate dehydrogenase, and lower parathyroid hormone-related peptide in SCLC patients. Factors predicting SREs were stage IV, age 64 or younger, and lower albumin in NSCLC patients. Multivariate analysis of SRE was not performed for SCLC because of the small number of events. CONCLUSION Predictive factors should be taken into consideration in future randomized studies evaluating BM and SREs.

Abstract
Long-term survival in patients with non-small cell lung cancer( NSCLC) can be achieved more frequently with combined modality therapy. However, an increased risk of late treatment-related toxicities has been reported for this treatment strategy. We retrospectively evaluated NSCLC patients treated with chemoradiation therapy from January 1988 to January 2007. Patients who had survived for more than 5 years after treatment were included in an analysis of late adverse events (excluding radiation pneumonitis and pulmonary fibrosis). A total of 188 NSCLC patients treated with chemoradiation therapy were evaluated, with 25 patients having survived for more than 5 years. Of these patients, 4 had stage I disease, 4 had stage IIB disease, 1 had stage IIIA disease, 14 had stage IIIB disease, 1 had stage IV disease, and 1 had disease of unknown stage. The following grade 3 late adverse events were noted: skin ulceration( n=1), skin induration( n=1), brachial plexopathy( n=1), malignant neoplasm( n=1). Adequate management of late adverse events due to chemoradiation therapy is needed for long-term NSCLC survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A phase III study (Lung Cancer Evaluation of TS-1) previously demonstrated noninferiority in terms of overall survival (OS) at interim analysis for carboplatin-S-1 compared with carboplatin-paclitaxel for first-line treatment of advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 564 patients were randomly assigned to receive either carboplatin on day 1 plus oral S-1 on days 1-14 or carboplatin-paclitaxel on day 1 every 21 days. Updated results and post hoc subgroup analysis according to tumor histology are presented. RESULTS The updated analysis revealed a median OS of 15.2 months in the carboplatin-S-1 arm and 13.1 months in the carboplatin-paclitaxel arm, with a hazard ratio (HR) of 0.956 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.793-1.151], consistent with the previous primary analysis. Median OS was 14.0 months in the carboplatin-S-1 arm and 10.6 months in the carboplatin-paclitaxel arm (HR 0.713; 95% CI 0.476-1.068) for patients with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), with corresponding values of 15.5 and 13.9 months (HR 1.060; 95% CI 0.859-1.308) for those with non-SCC. CONCLUSIONS These results establish the efficacy and safety of carboplatin-S-1 in patients with advanced NSCLC regardless of tumor histology.

Abstract
Neuronal electrical activity has been known to affect the viability of neurons in the central nervous system. Here we show that long-lasting membrane depolarization induced by elevated extracellular K(+) recruits nitric oxide (NO)/soluble guanylyl cyclase/protein kinase G signaling pathway, induces 8-nitroguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (8-nitro-cGMP)-mediated protein S-guanylation, and confers dopaminergic neuroprotection. Treatment of primary mesencephalic cell cultures with 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP(+)) for 72 h decreased the number of dopaminergic neurons, whereas the cell loss was markedly inhibited by elevated extracellular concentration of K(+) (+40 mM). The neuroprotective effect of elevated extracellular K(+) was significantly attenuated by tetrodotoxin (a Na(+) channel blocker), amlodipine (a voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel blocker), N(ω)-nitro-l-arginine methyl ester (l-NAME) (a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor), 1H-[1,2,4]oxadiazolo[4,3-a]quinoxalin-1-one (ODQ) (a soluble guanylyl cyclase inhibitor), and KT5823 or Rp-8-bromo-β-phenyl-1,N(2)-ethenoguanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphorothioate (Rp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS) (protein kinase G inhibitors). Elevated extracellular K(+) increased 8-nitro-cGMP production resulting in the induction of protein S-guanylation in cells in mesencephalic cultures including dopaminergic neurons. In addition, exogenous application of 8-nitro-cGMP protected dopaminergic neurons from MPP(+) cytotoxicity, which was prevented by zinc protoporphyrin IX, an inhibitor of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Zinc protoporphyrin IX also inhibited the neuroprotective effect of elevated extracellular K(+). On the other hand, KT5823 or Rp-8-Br-PET-cGMPS did not inhibit the induction of HO-1 protein expression by 8-nitro-cGMP, although these protein kinase G inhibitors abrogated the neuroprotective effect of 8-nitro-cGMP. These results suggest that protein S-guanylation (leading to HO-1 induction) as well as canonical protein kinase G signaling pathway plays an important role in NO-mediated, activity-dependent dopaminergic neuroprotection.

Abstract
Chemoradiotherapy is recommended for locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC). However, the overall median survival time remains poor(<20 months). We evaluated the outcome and complications of chemoradiotherapy, followed by surgical resection, in locally advanced NSCLC. Eight patients(7 men and 1 woman; median age, 59.5 years (range, 47-68 years) who underwent chemoradiotherapy followed by surgical resection for locally advanced NSCLC from 2002 to 2011 were retrospectively analyzed. In all cases, chemotherapy consisted of platinum-based combination therapy. Postoperatively, bronchopleural fistula occurred in 1 patient and Horner syndrome was observed in 1 patient. No treatment -related deaths were observed. The median of progression-free survival was 34.2 months. In conclusion, chemoradiotherapy should be the standard of care for locally advanced NSCLC. Trimodality therapy is still experimental but seems to be promising for certain subgroups of patients with locally advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
7017 Background: We previously reported the superiority of combined chemo-radiotherapy (CRT) over RT alone in elderly pts with locally advanced NSCLC (Atagi et al. ECCO2011). One and a half years follow-up data from last accrual are presented. Methods: Pts older than 70 years with unresectable stage III NSCLC were randomized to either RT alone (RT arm), a total dose of 60 Gy, or CRT arm including the same RT plus concurrent chemotherapy with carboplatin 30 mg/m2/day, 5 days/week × 20 days. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). The planned sample size was 100 pts in each arm with one-sided alpha of 5% and 80% power to detect a difference in median survival time (MST) from 10 months in RT arm to 15 months in CRT arm. Results: Between Sep 2003 and May 2010, 200 pts were randomized. Baseline characteristics were similar in the RT (n=100) vs CRT (n=100) arms: median age, 77 vs 77 years; stage IIIB (n), 46 vs 49; PS 0/1/2 (n), 41/55/4 vs 41/56/3. The second planned interim analysis was performed 10 months after the completion of accrual. In accordance with the pre-specified stopping rule, the JCOG Data and Safety Monitoring Committee recommended early publication of this trial because of the difference in OS favoring the CRT arm. In the updated analysis, OS was better in the CRT arm than the RT arm (HR = .64, 95% CI = .46-.89, one-sided p = .0033 by stratified log-rank test). In each arm (RT/CRT), MST was 16.5 mo/22.4 mo with 3-year OS of 14.3%/34.6%, response rate of 44.9%/54.6% (p=.201) and median progression-free survival of 6.9 mo/8.9 mo (p=.003). Gr 3/4 toxicities were (RT/CRT): neutropenia 0%/57.3%, infection 4.1%/12.5%, dysphagia 0%/1.0%, late RT toxicities 7.4%/7.5%. The pattern of relapse site and post-protocol treatment were almost similar between the arms. Even after an adjustment by the Cox regression analysis with six variables [stage, PS, sex, age, histology, smoking status], CRT arm showed better survival (HR=.71, p=.038). Conclusions: The CRT using daily carboplatin is considered to be the standard treatment for elderly pts with locally advanced NSCLC.

Abstract
It has been expected that stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is one of the useful treatments for non-resectable early lung cancer. In the case radiotherapy was thought to be difficult due to the wideness of irradiation area, it is probable to undergo chemo-radiotherapy safely using SRT for a primary lesion. We report two cases of Stage III non-small-cell lung cancer, which underwent SRT for primary tumors following chemo-radiotherapy for the lymph node metastasis. In both two cases, a reduction of V₂₀ (the normal pulmonary volume to receive radiation exposure: more than 20 Gy) was a possibility, and symptomatic radiation pneumonitis was not observed.
