This study analyzed 10-year survival rates after radical surgery for non-small cell lung cancer, involving 768 patients from 1985 to 2021. Key findings included a cumulative 10-year survival rate of 64.3%, with significant factors impacting survival such as tumor stage, cell ratios, and adjuvant therapy. The results underscore the importance of early detection, experienced surgical intervention, and tailored treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: 10-Year survial (10YS) after radical surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (LC) patients (LCP) (T1-4N0-2M0) was analyzed.
METHODS: We analyzed data of 768 consecutive LCP (age=57.6±8.3 years; tumor size=4.1±2.4 cm) radically operated (R0) and monitored in 1985-2021
(m=660, f=108; upper lobectomies=277, lower lobectomies=177, middle lobectomies=18, bilobectomies=42, pneumonectomies=254, mediastinal lymph node
dissection=768; combined procedures with resection of trachea, carina, atrium, aorta, VCS, vena azygos, pericardium, liver, diaphragm, ribs, esophagus=193;
only surgery-S=618, adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy-AT=150: CAV/gemzar + cisplatin + thymalin/taktivin + radiotherapy 45-50Gy; T1=320, T2=255, T3=133,
T4=60; N0=516, N1=131, N2=121, M0=768; G1=194, G2=243, G3=331; squamous=417, adenocarcinoma=301, large cell=50; early LC=214, invasive LC=554; right
LC=412, left LC=356; central=290; peripheral=478. Variables selected for 10YS 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 LCP 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 2244.9±1750.3 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 72.9%, 10 years – 64.3%, 20 yers – 43.1%. 502 LCP
lived more than 5 years (LS=3128.7±1536.8 days), 145 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5068.5±1513.2 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days).
AT significantly improved 10YS (52.4% vs. 27.7%) (P=0.00002 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 10YS 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, weight, color index (P=0.000-0.039).
Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 10YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1),
thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), PT N0—N12(rank=3), segmented neutrophils/CC (4), healthy cells/CC (5), lymphocytes/CC (6), erythrocytes/CC (7), stick
neutrophils/CC (8), eosinophils/CC (9), leucocytes/CC (10), monocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under
ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 10-Year survival 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) anthropometric data; 10) surgery type; 11) tumor localization.
Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of
complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant
chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.
