Estudiamos la supervivencia posquirúrgica del carcinoma broncogénico no anaplásico de células pequeñas (CBNACP) clasificado como T3N0. Para ello seguimos prospectivamente a 151 pacientes intervenidos por este motivo en nuestro hospital desde enero de 1969 a diciembre de 1995. El análisis de la supervivencia se realizó por el método estadístico de Kaplan-Meier, y las curvas fueron comparadas empleando los tests de Mantel-Cox, Breslow y Tarone-Ware.

El porcentaje de supervivencia esperado en nuestra población fue del 44,46±4,30% a los 5 años. En función del grado de invasión tumoral definimos cuatro grupos de pacientes según el tumor afectase a estructuras mediastínicas, pleura parietal, pared costal o sulcus superior. Los porcentajes de supervivencia a 5 años pusieron de manifiesto diferencias significativas entre grupos con un mejor pronóstico para los enfermos del grupo mediastínico (59,98±8,71%), seguido de la afectación de pleura parietal (52,79±6,69). Entre los casos del grupo de pared, la supervivencia fue del 27,53±7,22%, mientras que entre los pacientes con tumor de sulcus superior ninguno sobrevivió por encima de los 5 años (mediana de supervivencia de 1,50±1,16 años; límites del intervalo de confianza del 95% 0,00–3,77 años).

En conclusión, en los T3N0 el mal pronóstico está determinado por el grado de invasión tumoral y, a pesar de las evidentes mejoras conceptuales conseguidas con la nueva revisión del International Staging System (ISS), éste continúa sin definir completamente el pronóstico de la afectación T3N0.

Supervivencia

We analyzed the survival after surgery for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) classified as T3N0. Between January 1969 and 1995, 151 patients underwent surgery for NSCLC in our hospital. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier statistical method and the curves were compared using Mantel-Cox, Breslow and Tarone-Ware tests.

The estimated five-year survival in the studied population was 44.46±4.30%. Four groups were defined based on degree of tumoral invasion of mediastinal structures, parietal pleura, chest wall or superior sulcus. Significant differences in five-year survival were observed between groups. Patients in the mediastinal group (59.98±8.71%) had the best prognosis, followed by patients with parietal pleura involvement (52.79±6.69%). Survival in the chest wall group was 27.53±7.22%. No patients with superior sulcus tumors survived over five years (median survival 1.50±1.16 years; 95% confidence interval 0.00 to 3.77 years).

Prognosis is clearly determined by degree of tumoral invasion in T3N0 patients. In spite of the evident conceptual improvements achieved with the revised International Staging System, the system still fails to fully define prognosis in such cases.
