Background: The patterns of local failure in stage pN2 nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients undergoing radical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy are controversial.
Methods: The sites of local failure were compared in subgroups of patients with relevant clinicopathologic features (e.g., location and size of primary lesions).
Results: Totally 75 patients with local failure after radical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy for pN2 NSCLC were included in the analysis. Thirty-seven (49.3%) patients had distant metastasis. The median duration from surgical resection to local failure was 11 months (range: 3–45 months). Sites with ≥10% failure rate in all subgroups based on the location of the primary lesions included 4R, 7, the ipsilateral hilum, and the stump. Additional sites with ≥10% failure rate included 2R, 2L, 4L, and 5 for lesions in the left upper lobe; 4L and 5 for lesions in the left lower lobe; and 2R and 3P for lesions in the right upper-middle lobe. Squamous cell carcinoma affected the stump failure rate compared to adenocarcinoma (56.3% vs. 18.0%, P = 0.003). Tumor diameter ≥5 cm affected the stump failure rate compared to tumor diameter
