Introduction.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is an independent risk factor for lung cancer development, and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) comprises 15-20% of lung cancers with IPF.
The objective of this study was to investigate survival outcomes and treatment-related complications according to GAP (gender, age, and physiology) stage in patients having SCLC with IPF (SCLC-IPF).
Materials and Methods.
Retrospectively collected data of SCLC-IPF patients from two tertiary care university hospitals in South Korea were reviewed.
A total of 59 SCLC-IPF patients were identified and categorized according to GAP stage, which was proposed by Ley et al.
in 2012 to predict the prognosis of IPF.
Survival outcomes and treatment-related complications were compared between the two groups.
Results.
In a total of 59 patients, the median age was 71 years and 58 (98.3%) were male.
In a comparison of the median overall survival (OS) according to GAP stage, median OS of the advanced GAP stage group was significantly shorter than median OS of GAP stage I group (7.1 months vs.
16.1 months; p = 0.002).
Treatment-related complications occurred more frequently in the advanced GAP stage group; advanced GAP stage was the only predictor that exhibited a significant association with the incidence of acute exacerbation of IPF.
Conclusions.
Inferior survival outcome and higher incidence of treatment-related pulmonary toxicities were noted in the advanced GAP stage group.
Furthermore, advanced GAP stage was the only predictor of treatment-related acute exacerbation of IPF.
Physicians should thus consider GAP stage, which reflects the severity of IPF, during treatment of SCLC-IPF.
