A Registry For People With Lung Cancer

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine 3- and 5-year disease-free survival (DFS) among patients undergoing pulmonary segmentectomy for lung cancer. Participants will complete questionnaires before surgery, between 2 to 4 weeks after surgery, and 6 months after surgery.

Participation eligibility

Participant eligibility includes age, gender, type and stage of disease, and previous treatments or health concerns. Guidelines differ from study to study, and identify who can or cannot participate. There is no guarantee that every individual who qualifies and wants to participate in a trial will be enrolled. Contact the study team to discuss study eligibility and potential participation.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Age ≥18 years
* Clinical stage I tumor (AJCC 8th edition) suitable for segmentectomy, according to the treating thoracic surgeon

o Note: Patients must undergo segmentectomy for a peripheral lesion ≤2 cm to be included in the primary analysis. Individual ligation of the segmental artery(s) and segmental bronchus is the minimum definition for a segmentectomy. Division of the segmental vein and intraoperative frozen section to assess surgical margins and N1 lymph nodes are strongly encouraged, but the absence of either is not a criterion for exclusion.


* Pathology of NSCLC o Tissue diagnosis of NSCLC is not required before enrollment. A pathologic diagnosis of NSCLC may be confirmed preoperatively with biopsy, intraoperatively with frozen section, or postoperatively on final pathology.

Other considerations:

* Patients with ground-glass opacities will have their tumor size recorded on the basis of the size of the solid component.
* Any non-lung cancer treated in the past with no obvious recurrence or ongoing treatment is not a criterion for exclusion.
* The registry study will be monitored by Thoracic Surgery team at MSK.
* This study will be in collaboration with the Thoracic Surgical Oncology Group (TSOG) of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Actively receiving lung cancer treatment or a history of lung cancer in the previous 5 years
* History of chemotherapy or radiation therapy for a previous lung cancer
* Synchronous secondary cancer in the lung or elsewhere in the body at the time of surgery
* Carcinoid tumors
* History of other malignancies within the past 3 years, with the exception of non-melanoma skin cancer, superficial bladder cancer, and carcinoma in situ of the cervix
* Actively receiving treatment for other malignancies

* Cases of lobectomy in conjunction with segmentectomy from another lobe and ≥2 segmentectomies from different lobes either en bloc or separate will be excluded from the primary analysis.

* Multi-segmental resection from the same lobe is not a criterion for exclusion.

Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion Criteria may apply.
