BackgroundEpidemiology of Lung Cancer

15% of all cancer in USA Yearly new cases: 3 mill. wordwide, 0.18 mill. USA

NSCLC

Single most important prognostic factor in NSCLC = resectability Resectable in 20~35% of NSCLC patients.

CT in NSCLC Staging

CT is the standard method for screening for LN involvement

Meta-analysis of 42 studies: 79% SN, 78% SP More recent reports : 52-64% SN, 62-69% SP

CT accuracy for LN assessment

Variation in normal LN size range Reactive hyperplasia or infection related enlargement LN not enlarged with microsccopic metastasis Poor inter-observer kappa value for size assessment

Limitations of LN assessment with CT

FDG PET in NSCLC Staging

Meta-analysis : 87% SN, 95% SP

PET accuracy for LN assessment

Detect metastasis in non-enlarged LNs Exclude metastasis in enlarged LNs

Potential role of PET in LN staging

Medical Literature Survey

Effectiveness = life expectancy (LE)

Calculation of Expected Cost & Effectiveness

Cost = medical expenditure

• CT cost = 700 $• PET cost = 1,000 $• Biopsy cost = 3,000 $• Surgery cost = 30,000 $

RESULTS

• Average 1,154 $ savings per patient (25,634$ vs. 24,480$)

• No loss of LE (2.96 day gain)

Conservative CT+PET Strategy (A)

• Average 2,267 $ savings per patient (25,634 $ vs. 23,367 $)

• Failure to operate on 1.7% of resectable cases

Less conservative CT+PET Strategy (C)

• Average 1,154 $ savings per patient (25,634$ vs. 24,480$)
