Overview of NSCLC Histologies
NSCLC adenocarcinoma
Adenocarcinoma is a malignant epithelial tumor with glandular differentiation or mucin production, showing acinar, papillary, bronchoalveolar, or solid with mucin growth patterns or a mixture of these patterns.
NSCLC large cell carcinoma
Large cell carcinoma is an undifferentiated non-small cell carcinoma that lacks the cytologic and architectural features of small cell carcinoma and glandular or squamous differentiation.
NSCLC squamous cell carcinoma
Squamous cell carcinoma is a malignant epithelial tumor showing keratinization and/or intercellular bridges that arise from bronchial epithelium. These features vary with degree of differentiation, being prominent in well-differentiated tumors and focal in poorly differentiated tumors.

Diagnostic Accuracy – influenced by type of biopsy procedure, quantity of tumor in the specimen, degree of tumor differentiation, use of ancillary studies, experience of the pathologist

Small Biopsies/Mixed Histology
• Confidence in the diagnosis aids therapeutic choices .talk to your pathologist
• Clearly sampling bias is an issue • When uncertain, clinical factors must be considered - smoking status, age, co-morbidities, PS, etc • Optimize cytotoxic choices based on.. - efficacy (ORR, PFS, OS benefits) - toxicity • Second pathologic opinions can be helpful
5 Reasons Why Medical Oncologists Care About Histology
• Reason #1 – Bevacizumab • Reason #2 – Pemetrexed • Reason #3 – Molecular testing • Reason #4 – nab-paclitaxel • Reason #5 - Necitumumab
Reason #1: Bevacizumab in NSCLC: Bleeding in Randomized Phase II Trial • 6 life-threatening pulmonary hemorrhages; 4 fatal
– Overall incidence: 9% (6/66) – 5 occurred at bevacizumab 7.5 mg/kg
• Apparent risk factors – Baseline hemoptysis – Histology
• Squamous histology: 31% (4/13) • Nonsquamous histology: 4% (2/53)

Reason #3 – Molecular Testing
Molecular Profiling and Therapeutic Decision Making for Advanced NSCLC
General Guidelines for 2013
• Who to test: patients with NSCLC and adenocarcinoma component
• What to test for: EGFR mutation and ALK fusion (+ others?)
• When to test: at the time of diagnosis (not just when treatment decision needed)
• What specimen: core needle biopsy (or multi-pass FNA), cytology cell block, surgical biopsy (bone biopsy problematic)
• How to test: concurrently (not sequentially test-by-test)
• How long a turnaround time is acceptable?: 2 weeks or less
• When to re-test: after a targeted therapy intervention (to assess for tumor evolution in the molecular profile)

Reason #4: ORR by Histology: CbP vs Cb-nab-P in Advanced NSCLC
a 95% CIs for response rate ratios are calculated according to the asymptotic 95% CI of the relative risk of nab-PC to sb-PC.

Necitumumab + Cis/Gem Vs Cis/Gem Alone in Stage IV Squamous Carcinoma
Why Do Medical Oncologists Care About Histology?
• Molecular testing – Current guidelines recommend routine testing for
EGFR and ALK in adenocarcinoma • Therapeutic considerations
– Bevacizumab contraindicated in squamous histology due to risk of pulmonary hemorrhage
– Pemetrexed indicated in non-squamous histologies – Nab-P + Cb has superior ORR in squamous histology – Necitumumab indicated in squamous histology
• Prognosis – In general, individuals with non–squamous cell lung
cancer do slightly better than those with squamous cell
