ABSTRACT: Background
The number of lung cancer patients with a history of other malignancies is increasing. Previous upper gastrointestinal cancer (UGIC) surgery may increase the risk of complications after lung cancer surgery due to malnutrition and susceptibility in patients; therefore, we investigated its short-term outcomes.Methods
We retrospectively examined patients with lung cancer who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy between 2011 and 2021 and collected data regarding postoperative complications and postoperative pulmonary complications ≥ grade II of the Clavien-Dindo classification that developed within 3 months post-surgery. The effect of UGIC surgery on the postoperative complications was evaluated by multivariable analysis using logistic regression.Results
Among the 1,385 included patients, 377 patients had a history of cancer surgery and 65 (4.7%) of them had undergone UGIC surgery. Postoperative and pulmonary complications were observed in 155 (11.2%) and 39 (2.9%) patients, respectively. The frequency of pulmonary complications was significantly higher in patients with previous UGIC surgery (9.2% vs. 2.5%, P=0.003) with no significant difference in all complications (16.9% vs. 10.9%, P=0.137). Multivariable analysis showed that previous UGIC surgery is an independent factor associated with postoperative pulmonary complications (odds ratio =2.923, P=0.029). In contrast, previous surgery for cancer other than UGIC was not associated with postoperative pulmonary complications (the rate was 1.2% after lower gastrointestinal cancer surgery and 3.0% after non-gastrointestinal cancer surgery).Conclusions
Previous UGIC surgery was an independent factor associated with postoperative pulmonary complications after lung cancer surgery.
