Increased lung cancer recurrence following transthoracic needle biopsy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Computed tomography (CT)-guided transthoracic needle biopsy (TNB) could damage lung structures and may disseminate tumor cells into the airway, blood vessels, and pleural cavity, affecting post-operative outcomes. Several studies have investigated the effects of TNB on the prognosis of patients, but the effects remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether TNB increases the risk of recurrence of resected stage IA non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Methods

In this retrospective study, we enrolled 1,077 patients with stage IA NSCLC who underwent curative resection from 2010 to 2020. Recurrence risk factors were evaluated using Cox regression analyses. A multiple logistic regression model, including age, sex, smoking history, total tumor size, invasive tumor size, histology, histologic differentiation, lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion, perineural invasion, and the number of harvested lymph nodes (LNs), was used to calculate the propensity score.

Results

According to the pre-operative TNB, patients were classified into the no-TNB (n=823) and TNB (n=190) groups. After propensity score matching analysis, 380 patients were included in the no-TNB group (1:2 matching). Multivariable Cox analysis revealed that pre-operative TNB was a negative prognostic factor in patients with surgically resected stage IA NSCLC [hazard ratio (HR), 3.15; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.49-6.67; P=0.003]. The 5-year locoregional and overall recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates were significantly lower in the TNB group than in the no-TNB group (88.3% vs. 96.8%, P=0.001; and 84.2% vs. 93.7%, P=0.02, respectively).

Conclusions

For patients with stage IA NSCLC, pre-operative TNB was a negative prognostic factor for recurrence. Surgical diagnosis and treatment without pre-operative tissue diagnosis may be considered first in patients with clinically early lung cancer.

Project description:BackgroundHemoptysis is the most frequently reported complication of ultrasound-guided transthoracic needle lung biopsy (US-TTLB). However, factors influencing the occurrence of hemoptysis as a result of US-TTLB remain uncertain. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of hemoptysis as a complication of US-TTLB and to identify the related risk factors.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed all data of patients who underwent US-TTLB from February 2013 through December 2016. The incidence, severity, and treatment of hemoptysis in each case were carefully recorded. Study variables were classified into patient-related factors (age, sex, smoking history, pulse oxygen saturation, laboratory tests and emphysema), biopsy-related factors (use of contrast agent, number of punctures and operators), and lesion-related factors (lesion location, size, pathology, length of puncture path and the grade of air bronchial sign). Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to analyze the risk factors of hemoptysis. We investigated whether incidence of hemoptysis increased according to increased grade of air bronchial sign by Mantel-Haenszel test.ResultsA total of 209 patients were evaluated. Hemoptysis occurred in 20 of the 209 patients (9.6%). In univariate analysis, the lesion pathology (P=0.037) and grade of air bronchial sign (P<0.001) were statistically significant factors between the hemoptysis group and the non-hemoptysis group. In multivariate analysis, the presence of multi-air bronchogram in sonographic image (odds ratio =8.946; 95% confidence interval: 2.873-27.863; P<0.001) was a statistically significant predictive risk factor for hemoptysis complicating US-TTLB. There was a significant tendency for incidence of hemoptysis with the grade of air bronchial sign (P<0.001).ConclusionsWe found that the rate of hemoptysis complicating US-TTLB was 9.6% and the severity of hemoptysis was not serious. Target lesion without air bronchogram is a safety sign, minor bronchogram means relatively low-risk, while multiple bronchogram is a highly dangerous ultrasound sign of hemoptysis.
