a decision to operate and will propose a controversial algorithm for surgical<br />

treatment of N2 disease [5]. 2.Intraoperative We will discuss the arguments<br />

surrounding the necessary extent of intraoperative lymph node dissection.<br />

We will consider the relative merits of the methods for intraoperative<br />

sentinel node identification including Near Infrared thoracoscopy and<br />

radiolabelling [6,7]. We will ask whether the investment in technology and<br />

time is beneficial for the patient. Is the added information about metastases<br />

of clinical value ? We will evaluate the argument between nodal sampling vs<br />

systematic nodal dissection [8] and attempt to formulate an intraoperative<br />

mapping algorithm. Intraoperative nodal mapping has been proposed as a<br />

prerequisite to direct the extent of lung resection. We will examine how the<br />

findings of nodal disease have been used to discriminate between lobectomy<br />

vs pneumonectomy or between lobectomy vs segmentectomy. We will<br />

consider the argument that nodal metastatic disease is not a justification<br />

for more extensive sacrifice of functioning lung tissue. Is there any role<br />

for intraoperative nodal analysis in determining the extent of resection?<br />

How reliable is this method of nodal mapping. 3.Postoperative Once the<br />

pathologist has the resected lymph nodes we will attempt to rationalize<br />

how they should be analysed, asking the question : “ What are the minimum<br />

sampling requirements ?”. We will also analyse whether the more detailed<br />

nodal mapping of micrometastatic disease by immunohistochemistry<br />

significantly influences patient management or outcome [10] ? Finally we will<br />

discuss how these pathological results could influence the use of adjuvant<br />

chemotherapy/ radiotherapy or more interestingly targeted therapies. We<br />

intend the session to be interactive between presenters and delegates with<br />

a free exchange of ideas and experience. We hope to stimulate delegates<br />

to re-evaluate their own approach to lung cancer staging.References 1.<br />

AND PERSPECTIVES<br />

Medical therapy in advanced NSCLC in 2016 is characterized by<br />

personalization, individualization, and therapy precision. Not only clinical<br />

factors are used for treatment differentiation but also the histological<br />

type (squamous versus non-squamous) and the molecular profile (mutant<br />

versus wild type). In addition, the complexity of the treatment algorithm has<br />

gradually increased over time by the incorporation of a number of approved<br />

molecules for 1 st , 2 nd -, subsequent line therapy (Peters, 2012; Masters, 2015;<br />

NCCN, 2016). NSCLC – 1 st -line-therapy - wild-type: For patients with wild-type<br />

non-squamous NSCLC it is generally accepted that upfront platinum based<br />

doublet chemotherapy (DCT) remains the backbone for individuals with<br />

good performance and that this approach should be modified according to<br />

feasibility and tolerability, co-morbidity, and age over 70 years. Progress<br />

has been made through pemetrexed, which is recommended as the favorite<br />

partner of platinum-based components (Scagliotti; 2008/2011). In addition, it<br />

has lately been demonstrated that the extension of induction chemotherapy<br />

by single agent pemetrexed until progression - in case of non-progression<br />

under four cycles of DCT not containing pemetrexed (switch maintenance)<br />

(Ciuleanu, 2009) or containing pemetrexed (continuation maintenance)<br />

(Paz-Ares, 2012/2013) - prolongs survival. In this case survival may also be<br />

prolonged by erlotinib, when used in the switch maintenance setting, but<br />

erlotinib’s benefit seem to be restricted to patients, which have experienced<br />

disease stabilization to induction chemotherapy (Cappuzzo, 2010; Coudert,<br />

2012). Bevacizumab, when added to platinum-based to DCT, significantly<br />

improves response rate, progression free survival, as well as overall survival<br />

in eligible patients (Sandler, 2006/2010; Reck, 2009/2010). In wild-type<br />

squamous NSCLC platinum based DCT (no pemetrexed, no bevacizumab)<br />

remains standard. Nonetheless, necitumumab has recently shown to<br />

improve survival when combined with cisplatin/gemcitabine (Thatcher,<br />

2015). Maintenance therapy in squamous tumors with docetaxel or erlotinib<br />

(switch) or gemcitabine (continuation) may be justified in some patients even<br />

so study evidence is weaker than for non-squamous tumors (Fidas, 2009;<br />

Perol, 2012). NSCLC – 1 st -line-therapy - mutant: For patients with advanced<br />

NSCLC expressing specific molecular features – mainly non-squamous tumors<br />

– 1 st - line treatment with targeted agents has been established. In tumors<br />

with EGFR mutations gefitinib, erlotinib, and afatinib have shown to prolong<br />

progression free survival over standard chemotherapy (Mok, 2009; Rosell,<br />

2012; Sequist, 2013). In tumors bearing ALK-/ROS1-gene-rearrangements<br />

crizotinib has also shown to prolong progression free survival when<br />

compared to platinum/pemetrexed. (Solomon, 2014). Therefore, erlotinib,<br />

gefitinib or afatinib should be prescribed for patients with tumors bearing<br />

EGFR-mutations. For patients with tumors bearing ALK-/ROS1 crizotinib<br />

should be prescribed. However, for these patients molecular testing is<br />

critical and should be used to select patients for EGFR/ALK/ROS1 targeted<br />

therapy. Patients with lung adenocarcinoma should not be excluded from<br />

testing on the basis of clinical characteristics (ethnicity, gender, smoking<br />

status) (Lindeman, 2013). NSCLC - 2 nd /subsequent-line therapy - wild-type:<br />

In patients with disease progression during or after completion of 1 st -line<br />

chemotherapy, 2 nd -, subsequent-line therapy is indicated when the patient<br />

remains in good clinical condition. Approved older treatment options<br />

include docetaxel, pemetrexed and erlotinib. Two anti-angiogenic agents<br />

and two immune-checkpoint inhibitors have recently been added. These<br />

include nintedanib and ramucirumab (Reck, 2014; Thatcher, 2015), as well<br />

as nivolumab and pembrolizumab (Brahmer, 2015; Borghaei, 2015; Herbst,<br />

2016). Nintedanib/docetaxel increases significantly survival in patients with<br />

adenocarcinoma who specifically progressed within 9 months after the<br />

start of 1 st -line therapy, who have experienced disease progression as best<br />

response to 1 st -line therapy and decreases tumor burden and decelerates<br />

tumor growth. Nintedanib/docetaxel has been approved in the EU for the<br />

treatment of patients with adenocarcinoma. Ramucirumab/docetaxel has<br />

also been approved in the US and EU for patients with disease progression on<br />

or after DCT for wild-type non-squamous and squamous NSCLC. This approval<br />

has been based on phase III study evidence indicating survival advantage<br />

in non-squamous NSCLC (statistically significant) and squamous NSCLC<br />

(numerically longer). Comparing head-to head nivolumab and docetaxel in<br />

patients with squamous and non-squamous NSCLC after failure of DCT has<br />

demonstrated superior overall survival in patients receiving nivolumab.<br />

Nivolumab has received US and EU approval for advanced NSCLC with<br />

progression on or after DCT. Nivolumab appears to be most effective in<br />

patients with more than 6 months from completion of the latest treatment<br />

regimen to randomization in comparison to patients with less than 3 months<br />

to randomization. Pembrolizumab has received approval in the US and EU<br />

for patients with advanced NSCLC who’s tumors expressed PD-L1 and who<br />

have disease progression on or after chemotherapy. Approval has been based<br />

on head-to-head comparison of pembrolizumab and docetaxel in patients<br />

with previously treated PD-L1 positive squamous and non-squamous NSCLC,<br />

which has demonstrated a significant survival benefit for pembrolizumab.<br />

NSCLC-2 nd /subsequent-line therapy - mutant: Resistance to first and second<br />

generation EGFR-TKIs is a multifactorial process with a variety of clinically<br />

patterns. Its management requires different, case adapted approaches.<br />

Several strategies are currently under investigation, but some have already<br />

find its way into todays practice although study evidence is still rather weak.<br />

In case of oligoprogression the EGFR-TKI therapy may continue but local<br />

therapies (radiation, surgery) should be added. In case of diffuse progression<br />

EGFR-TKI therapy may continue, but in combination with chemotherapy;<br />

EGFR-TKI therapy may be switched to chemotherapy, but at the moment<br />

of chemotherapy resistance patients may be re-exposed to EGFR-TKI<br />

therapy; admission to clinical trials offering investigational agents may be<br />

a valid option for some patient. Osimertinib has just been approved and is<br />
