We herein report two cases of pulmonary metastasis from renal cell carcinoma with 17-year disease-free intervals. Despite long disease-free intervals, their clinical course after pulmonary resection was different. An 82-year-old man (case 1) and a 73-year-old man (case 2), with histories of having undergone left nephrectomy for clear-cell-type renal cell carcinoma 17 years ago, were found to have right pulmonary nodules, which were detected incidentally by chest roentgenograms. A chest computed tomography revealed the presence of nodules in the right lung. They underwent surgical pulmonary resection 17 years after nephrectomy. These tumors were diagnosed as metastatic renal cell carcinoma. Currently, the case 1 patient is doing well with no signs of recurrence 42 months after pulmonary metastasectomy; however, the case 2 patient was found to have multiple tumor recurrences 11 months after metastasectomy. Their clinical courses indicate that a longer disease-free interval does not always imply a favorable prognosis.

Objective: The prognostic significance of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with a normal serum CEA level (<5.0 ng/ml) was examined. Methods: A total of 220 consecutive NSCLC patients with preoperative normal serum CEA levels were included. Patients were subdivided into two groups: preoperative serum CEA level ≥2.5 and <2.5 ng/ml. Results: The 5-year survival of patients with preoperative serum CEA level less and more than 2.5 ng/ml were 79.62% and 62.0%, respectively (P = 0.0036). Multivariate analysis indicated that a preoperative serum CEA level of ≥2.5 ng/ml was an independent prognostic factor. Similar results were found in patients with adenocarcinoma but not found in others. Conclusion: NSCLC patients with a high serum CEA level, especially adenocarcinoma patients, had poorer prognosis even if their serum CEA levels were within the normal upper limit. © 2009 The Japanese Association for Thoracic Surgery.

Background: The prognostic impact of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels and pleural lavage cytology (PLC) in female patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were examined. Methods: A consecutive series of 122 women with NSCLC who underwent surgical resection and PLC were included in the study. Results: The 5-year survival rate of patients with preoperative serum normal and elevated CEA levels was 86.79% and 58.46%, respectively (p = 0.0032). Positive PLC was present in 9/122 (7.38%) of patients. The 5-year survival rate of patients with positive PLC findings was 33.33%, which was significantly poor compared with that of patients with negative findings (83.16%, p = 0.0010). Multivariate analysis indicated that pN status, preoperative serum CEA levels and PLC findings were independent prognostic factors. Conclusions: Preoperative serum CEA level and PLC findings were independent prognostic factors for female patients with NSCLC. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart.

Relationship between thrombocytosis and poor prognosis has been reported in lung cancer. However, the majority of previous studies included many advanced stage and small cell lung cancer patients. Few studies focused on resectable non-small cell lung cancer patients. In the present study, therefore, consecutive 240 non-small cell lung cancer patients who received surgical resection were reviewed retrospectively, and investigated the survival impact of preoperative platelet count. In our results, the frequency of preoperative thrombocytosis was only 5.83% (14/240). The 5-year survival of patients with and without thrombocytosis was 28.87% and 63.73%, respectively. Both univariate and multivariate analyses indicated the independent prognostic impact of thrombocytosis. The present study is the first evaluation of prognostic effect of thrombocytosis in patients with resectable non-small cell lung cancer. Preoperative platelet count was a prognostic factor for resectable non-small cell lung cancer patients.

We report on a 42-year-old woman with malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) arising from the cervical sympathetic nerve. A collar incision and partial sternotomy were performed at the second intercostal space. The mass was spindle shaped and connected to the sympathetic trunk on the cranial and caudal sides, and it compressed the left carotid sheath on the median side. After the patient's uneventful recovery from surgery, adjuvant radiotherapy was administered to the area of resection. The patient remains well 5 years after surgery with no evidence of recurrence.

We herein report a rare case of squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) located in the hilar nodes with unknown primary tumor. A 56-year-old man underwent a thoracotomy under the clinical diagnosis of lung cancer with hilar nodes involvement. The tumor was found at the hilus and resected without pulmonary resection. The pathological diagnosis of this tumor was metastatic SCC in hilar lymph nodes. Examinations of the whole body failed to detect a primary site of the SCC. The patient is doing well with no clinical sign of recurrence 32 months after surgery. (Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2008; 14: 242-245).
