Survival of Lung Cancer Patients after Lobectomies was Significantly Superior...Oleg Kshivets
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine surgery type influence for 5-year survival (5YS) of non-small cell lung cancer (LC) patients (LCP) after complete en block (R0) lobectomies and pneumonectomies.
METHODS: We analyzed data of 765 consecutive patients (age=57.6±8.3 years; tumor size=4.1±2.4 cm) radically operated (R0) and monitored in 1985-2022 (m=659, f=106; bi/lobectomies=512, pneumonectomies=253, mediastinal lymph node dissection=765; combined procedures with resection of trachea, carina, atrium, aorta, VCS, vena azygos, pericardium, liver, diaphragm, ribs, esophagus=192; only surgery-S=616, adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy-AT=149: CAV/gemzar + cisplatin + thymalin/taktivin + radiotherapy 45-50Gy; T1=318, T2=255, T3=133, T4=59; N0=514, N1=131, N2=120, M0=765; G1=194, G2=241, G3=330; squamous=417, adenocarcinoma=298, large cell=50; early LC=212, invasive LC=553. Multivariate Cox modeling, discriminant analysis, clustering, SEPATH, Monte Carlo, bootstrap and neural networks computing were used to determine any significant dependence.
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2240.1±1751.6 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 72.8%, 10 years – 64.2%, 20 years – 42.9%. 499 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3126.8±1540 days), 143 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5083.3±1518.6 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (77.6% vs.63.1%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (64.4% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00003 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). 5YS of LCP after Lobectomies (77.6%) was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (63%) (P=0.00001 by log-rank test). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12(rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), segmented neutrophils/CC (7), lymphocytes/CC (8), monocytes/CC (9); stick neutrophils/CC (10), leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 10) anthropometric data.

ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: 5-survival (5YS) and life span after radical surgery for esophageal cancer (EC) pa¬tients (ECP)(T1-4N0-2M0) - alive supersysems was analyzed. The importance must be stressed of using complex system analysis, artificial intelligence (neural networks computing), simulation modeling and statistical methods in combination, because the different approaches yield complementary pieces of prognostic information.
METHODS: We analyzed data of 563 consecutive ECP (age=56.6±8.9 years; tumor size=6±3.5 cm) radically operated (R0) and monitored in 1975-2024 (m=419, f=144; esophagogastrectomies (EG) Garlock=289, EG Lewis=274, combined EG with resection of pancreas, liver, diaphragm, aorta, VCS, colon transversum, lung, trachea, pericardium, splenectomy=170; adenocarcinoma=323, squamous=230, mix=10; T1=131, T2=119, T3=185, T4=128; N0=285, N1=71, N2=207; G1=161, G2=143, G3=259; early EC=112, invasive=451; only surgery=428, adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy-AT=135: 5-FU+thymalin/taktivin+radiotherapy 45-50Gy). Multivariate Cox modeling, clustering, SEPATH, Monte Carlo, bootstrap and neural networks computing were used to determine any significant dependence.
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 1915.4±2284.8 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 52.6%, 10 years – 46.3%, 20 years – 33.3%, 30 years – 27.5%. 193 ECP lived more than 5 years (LS=4309.1±2507.4 days), 105 ECP – more than 10 years (LS=5860.8±2469.2 days). 228 ECP died because of EC (LS=629.8±324.1 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (69% vs. 49.1%) (P=0.0007 by log-rank test). 5YS of ECP of upper/3 was significantly better than others (65.3% vs.50.3%) (P=0.003). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of ECP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) N0—N12 in terms of synergetics, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), T, G, histology, age, AT, localization, prothrombin index, hemorrhage time, residual nitrogen, protein (P=0.000-0.019). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and healthy cells/CC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (2), PT early-invasive EC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), thrombocytes/CC (5); segmented neutrophils/CC (6), stick neutrophils/CC (7), lymphocytes/CC (8), eosinophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10), leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5-year survival of ECP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT “early-invasive cancer”; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) Cell Ratio Factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) EC cell dynamics; 9) EC characteristics; 10) tumor localization; 11) anthropometric data; 12) surgery type.

Multivariate Cox modeling, clustering, SEPATH, Monte Carlo, bootstrap and neural networks computing were used to determine any significant dependence.
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 1877±2221.6 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 52%, 10 years – 45%, 20 years – 33.4%, 30 years – 27%. 186 ECP lived more than 5 years (LS=4283.3±2412.6 days), 99 ECP – more than 10 years (LS=5883±2296.6 days). 227 ECP died because of EC (LS=631.8±323.4 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (60.3% vs. 42%) (P=0.0029 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of ECP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) N0—N12 in terms of synergetics, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), T, G, histology, age, AT, localization, prothrombin index, hemorrhage time, residual nitrogen, protein (P=0.000-0.021). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and P PT early-invasive EC (rank=1); healthy cells/CC (2), erythrocytes/CC (3), PT N0—N12 (4) thrombocytes/CC (5); segmented neutrophils/CC (6), stick neutrophils/CC (7), lymphocytes/CC (8), monocytes/CC (9); leucocytes/CC (10); eosinophils/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5-year survival of ECP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT “early-invasive cancer”; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) Cell Ratio Factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) EC characteristics; 9) tumor localization; 10) anthropometric data; 11) surgery type.

5YS of local advanced ECP after combined radical procedures significantly depended on: tumor characteristics, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors, biochemical factors, hemostasis system, anthropometric data and adjuvant treatment. Optimal strategies for local advanced ECP are: 1) availability of very experienced thoracoabdominal surgeons because of complexity radical procedures; 2) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 3) precise prediction; 4) AT for ECP with unfavorable prognosis.
5-year survival of ECP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT “early-invasive cancer”; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) Cell Ratio Factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) EC characteristics; 9) EC cell dynamics; 10) tumor localization; 11) anthropometric data; 12) surgery type.

OBJECTIVE: 5-survival (5YS) and life span after radical surgery for esophageal cancer (EC) pa¬tients (ECP) (T1-4N0-2M0) was analyzed. The importance must be stressed of using complex system analysis, artificial intelligence (neural networks computing), simulation modeling and statistical methods in combination, because the different approaches yield complementary pieces of prognostic information.
METHODS: We analyzed data of 557 consecutive ECP (age=56.6±8.9 years; tumor size=6±3.5 cm) radically operated (R0) and monitored in 1975-2023 (m=415, f=142; esophagogastrectomies (EG) Garlock=288, EG Lewis=269, combined EG with resection of pancreas, liver, diaphragm, aorta, VCS, colon transversum, lung, trachea, pericardium, splenectomy=168; adenocarcinoma=319, squamous=228, mix=10; T1=130, T2=115, T3=184, T4=128; N0=282, N1=70, N2=205; G1=157, G2=142, G3=258; early EC=111, invasive=446; only surgery=425, adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy-AT=132: 5-FU+thymalin/taktivin+radiotherapy 45-50Gy). Multivariate Cox modeling, clustering, SEPATH, Monte Carlo, bootstrap and neural networks computing were used to determine any significant dependence.
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 1876.9±2219.8 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 52%, 10 years – 45.5%, 20 years – 33.4%, 30 years – 26.9%. 187 ECP lived more than 5 years (LS=4271±2411.9 days), 99 ECP – more than 10 years (LS=5883±2296.6 days). 228 ECP died because of EC (LS=629.8±324.1 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (67.8% vs. 48.7%) (P=0.00084 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of ECP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) N0—N12 in terms of synergetics, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), T, G, histology, age, AT, localization, prothrombin index, hemorrhage time, residual nitrogen, protein (P=0.000-0.019). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and
healthy cells/CC (rank=1), PT early-invasive EC (2); PT N0—N12 (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), thrombocytes/CC (5); stick neutrophils/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), eosinophils/CC (9), leucocytes/CC (10); monocytes/CC (11).

• Gastric cancer prognosis and cell ratio factors Oleg Kshivets
OBJECTIVE: We examined cell ratio factors (CRF) significantly affecting gastric cancer (EC) patients GCP) survival. CRF - ratio between cancer cells (CC) and blood cells subpopulations.
METHODS: We analyzed data of 799 consecutive GCP (T1-4N0-2M0) (age=57.1±9.4 years; tumor size=5.4±3.1 cm) radically operated (R0) and monitored in 1975-2022 (m=558, f=241; total gastrectomies=173, distal gastrectomies=461; proximal gastrectomies=165; combined gastrectomies=247 with resection of esophagus, pancreas, liver, duodenum, diaphragm, colon transversum, splenectomy, etc; only surgery-S=624, adjuvant chemoimmunotherapy-AT=175 (5-FU + thymalin/taktivin); T1=238, T2=220, T3=184, T4=157; N0=437, N1=109, N2=253, M0=799; G1=222, G2=164, G3=413. Variables selected for prognosis study were input levels of 45 blood parameters, sex, age, TNMG, cell type, tumor size. Survival curves were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method. Differences in curves between groups of GCP were evaluated using a log-rank test. Multivariate Cox modeling, discriminant analysis, clustering, SEPATH, Monte Carlo, bootstrap and neural networks computing were used to determine any significant dependence.
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2128.9±2300.3 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 58.4%, 10 years – 51.9%, 20 years – 39%, 30 years – 27.2%. 318 GCP lived more than 5 years (LS=4304.5±2290.6 days), 169 GCP – more than 10 years (LS=5919.5±2020 days). 290 GCP died because of GC (LS=651±347.2 days). Cox modeling displayed that G CP survival significantly depended on CRF: healthy cells/CC, erythrocytes/CC, monocytes/CC, phase transition (PT) in terms of synergetics early—invasive cancer; PT N0--N12, age, G1-3, hemorrhage time, ESS, sex, AT, prothrombin index, residual nitrogen. Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early—invasive cancer (rank=1); PT N0--N12 (2); healthy cells/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), thrombocytes/CC (5), monocytes/CC (6), segmented neutrophils/CC (7), leucocytes/CC (8), lymphocytes/CC (9), stick neutrophils/CC (10), eosinophils/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: GCP survival after radical procedures significantly depended on CRF.
10-Year survival of GCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) GC characteristics; 9) anthropometric data; 10) surgery type.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection
