Purpose : The aim of this study is to investigate the outcomes of salvage surgery for isolated postsurgical loco-regional recurrence among non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients.
Methods : Between January 2008 and December 2016, 199 patients who had isolated loco-regional recurrence after complete surgical resection for stage I to III NSCLC without induction treatment were identified. Of these, 21 patients who underwent salvage surgery were included this study, their surgical and oncologic outcomes were evaluated. Isolated loco-regional recurrence was defined as recurrence at the surgical margin, in the ipsilateral hilum or mediastinum without any evidence of distant metastasis.
Results : Median time to recurrence after initial surgery was 25.9 months and median post-recurrence survival was 48.2 months. The site of recurrence and matched treatment are as follows; bronchial stump in 6 patients who were treated with completion pneumonectomy (n=5) or bilobectomy (n=1), stapled margin in 7 who were treated with completion lobectomy (n=3) and wedge resection (n=4) and mediastinal lymph node (LN) in 7 who were treated with LN dissection followed by concurrent chemoradiotherapy (n=4), chemotherapy (n=2) and radiotherapy (n=1). Remaining 1 patient who had recurrence in both bronchial stump and multiple LN underwent LN dissection without resection of stump. During follow-up, of 10 patients with disease progression, 8 patients had distant metastasis. The 3 year post-recurrence overall survival and progression free survival were 90.0% and 51.7%, respectively.
Conclusion : Repeat surgery for loco-regional recurrence after complete surgical resection for NSCLC would be valuable option with favorable long-term survival rate.
