Overview:Overview: An Old Story with Continued Challenge An Old Story with Continued ChallengeCarcinoma of the Lung and Bronchus
• High incidence rate:
12-13% cancer diagnosis in U.S.;
>60% diagnosed at a not-curable stage.
• High mortality rate:
5-year survival rate is ~15%.
• Kills more people than any other cancer:
~30% of all cancer deaths in U.S.

Dietary Supplement of Vitamins and Minerals
• In general population, ~40% take vitamin/ mineral supplements regularly.
• Approximately 80% of cancer patients do so.
• Both clinical and laboratory data have shown that certain micronutrients effect the growth of malignant cells:
i.e., vitamins and minerals appear to bemodulators of tumor growth.
• Are these supplements helping or hurting lung cancer patients?

Chemotherapy & Treatment Outcome
• For stage III (and IV) NSCLC and limited stage SCLC, combined modality of concurrent chemo- and radiotherapy is considered as the standard of care.
• The goal of such treatment is to improve loco-regional tumor control and minimize metastases without increasing morbidity.
• Overall, there is a significant benefit in survival, but only in a subset of 25-30% among all treated. Who and why?

A BRIEF BACKGROUND
• Platinum-based drugs are commonly used in lung cancer chemotherapy.
• The glutathione metabolic pathway is directly involved in the inactivation of platinum compounds.

Clinical Implications
• Genotypes of glutathione-related enzymes may be used as host factors in predicting patients’ survival after treatment with platinum-based drugs.
• The distribution of GCLC repeats marker:
GCLC-77: 19% - not use platinum drugs?
GCLC-7_: 50% - balancing benefit vs. harm?
GCLC-other: 31% - suitable for platinum-drugs?

Biological Markers: Promises and Challenges
• Treatment response is generally poor.
• Limited markers to predict prognosis and apply to individualized management.
• Gene expression profiling, “microarray”, has been widely used to search for answers at molecular level for differed lung cancer survival
• (Note: DNA microarray measures tens of thousands expressed genes via mRNA simultaneously in tissue or cells)
![Page 37: Genetic and Environmental Determinants in Lung Cancer Progression and Survivorship](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56812c2b550346895d90a6f9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Emerging evidence shows that the accuracy of expression-based outcome prediction varies greatly among studies.
Converging questions have been raised from researchers and clinicians:
• Why does gene-based prediction vary? • Can DNA expression profiles provide more
accurate prediction than conventional predictors? • Are gene panels or molecular signatures
independent predictors or merely surrogates of conventional factors?

A Brief Background
• Individuals who are alive over 5 years after a lung cancer diagnosis are referred to as long-term lung cancer (LTLC) survivors.
• In the U.S., approximately 26,000 individuals become LTLC survivors annually.
• A paucity of information regarding the quality of life (QoL) among LTLC survivors.

Longitudinal Evaluation of Quality of Life in Long-Term Lung Cancer Survivors
A Short story
Overall QoL change between two time periods: under 3 years and over 5 years post diagnosis
![Page 46: Genetic and Environmental Determinants in Lung Cancer Progression and Survivorship](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56812c2b550346895d90a6f9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Multi-dimension Follow-up MeasuresMulti-dimension Follow-up Measures
Besides medical records, multiple tools:
• SF-8 Health Survey• ECOG* Performance Status Score
(*Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group)
• Lung Cancer Symptom Scale (LCSS)• Linear Analogue Self-assessment (LASA)
(modified for lung cancer patients)
• Baecke Questionnaire for Habitual Activities • FACT-SP Spiritual Well Being Assessment• Other tools (diet, sleep, cognitive function, etc)

QoL Assessment
• Overall QoL was assessed using LCSS-9: - scores 0 (worst) to 100 points (best) - as continuous variable: distance in cm on a
VAS a raw score of the total 100 points - as a binary variablea poor QoL defined as <50 points (Sloan, 2004)
• Declining QoL was defined as:a 10-point or more decrease between the two time periods

Implications• Our preliminary results show: among the LTLC survivors, the mean overall QoL declined significantly between the two time periods.
This is in a sharp contrast to long-term survivors of other cancers, e.g., breast cancer, whose overall QoL are compatibleto their age-matched controls.
• We found substantial differences in factors contributing to their poor QoL at each time period.

Future DirectionsFuture Directions
• Long-term lung cancer survivors may need additional help to improve their QoL.
• Further research efforts are needed. The next step is to identify factors that are associated with a declined vs. an improved QoL over time: environmental, genetic, biological, behavioral, psychosocial.
• Ultimately, we aim to define modifiable factors and improve QoL of “at risk” survivors.
