Letter from Prof Rolf Stahel Dear Colleagues It is my pleasure to present this ETOP slide set which has been designed to highlight and summarise key findings in thoracic cancers from the major congresses in 2015. This slide set specifically focuses on the IASLC 16 th World Conference on Lung Cancer and is available in 4 languages – English, French, Italian and Japanese. The area of clinical research in oncology is a challenging and ever changing environment. Within this environment we all value access to scientific data and research which helps to educate and inspire further advancements in our roles as scientists, clinicians and educators. I hope you find this review of the latest developments in thoracic cancers of benefit to you in your practice. If you would like to share your thoughts with us we would welcome your comments. Please send any correspondence to etop@etop.eu-org.etop@etop.eu-org I would like to thank our ETOP members Drs Solange Peters and Martin Reck for their roles as Editors – for prioritising abstracts and reviewing slide content – also Dr Serena Ricciardi for overseeing translation to Italian. The slide set you see before you would not be possible without their commitment and hard work. And finally, we are also very grateful to Lilly Oncology for their financial, administerial and logistical support in the realisation of this complex yet rewarding activity. Yours sincerely, Rolf Stahel President, ETOP Foundation Council

MINI03.01: Prior TKI Therapy in NSCLC EGFR Mutant Patients Associates with Lack of Response to Anti-PD-1 Treatment – Garon EB et al Key results –In vitro PD-L1 levels decrease in response to EGFR TKI in cell lines sensitive to TKI –Clinical Among 29 EGFRm patients in KEYNOTE-001, 2 of 3 EGFR-naïve patients achieved a PR vs. 1 of 26 with a history of prior EGFR TKI (p<0.001) 18 of these patients had a 9-week follow-up scan –Both of the EGFR TKI-naïve patients achieved a PR compared with only 1 of 16 with a history of prior EGFR TKI (p<0.001) The 1 patient with a history of prior EGFR TKI therapy who achieved a PR harboured an exon 20 insertion In EGFR wild-type patients, prior TKI did not affect RR (p<0.601) A lower proportion of EGFRm patients continued on trial to the 9-week scan (62% [18/29]), compared with EGFR wild-type patients (87% [60/69]) Conclusions –There was a strong correlation between response and lack of prior EGFR TKI treatment, especially in those with a sensitising mutation –PD-L1 levels decreased in response to an EGFR in cell lines sensitive to TKI –PD-1/PD-L1 inhibition prior to an EGFR TKI may be more efficacious than a strategy in which the PD-1/PD-L1 inhibition follows, or is given concurrently with an EGFR TKI Garon et al.

ORAL26.02: What Are the Risks and Benefits of Extended Pleurectomy Decortication for Mesothelioma? A Review of the Largest Institutional Series in the UK – Sharkey AJ et al Key results –The most common post-operative complication was persistent air leak and occurred in 31.0% of patients, followed by atrial fibrillation in 16.7% –Duration of intercostal drainage was significantly associated with the development of empyema (p<0.001) and dehiscence of the neodiaphragm (p=0.042) –Re-operation was required in 30 (11.3%) patients –Post-operative complications significantly lengthened the median hospital stay by 26 days with empyema (p<0.001), 7 days with removal of prosthetic patch (p=0.003) and 6 days each with persistent air leak (p<0.001) and atrial fibrillation (p=0.037) –90-day mortality was significantly higher in patients who developed pleural empyema (71.4% vs. 8.6%, p=0.001) –Complications prevented chemotherapy use in 28% of patients with empyema and 22.7% of those with neodiaphragm dehiscence Conclusions –In all but a selected subgroup of patients, EPD remains a palliative procedure –Reducing postoperative air leak, which increases pleural sepsis and perioperative risk and decreases adjuvant chemotherapy, is paramount Sharkey et al.
