Matched tumor tissue was available from 6 bronchopulmonary carcinoids (BPC) (3 atypical carcinoids [AC]/3 typical carcinoids [TC]), 5 adenocarcinomas (ACC), 5 squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), and 4 small-cell lung cancers (SCLC). All had progressive disease (PD) at the time of surgery. CapTEM, capecitabine and temozolomide; IPF, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; LCNEC, large-cell neuroendocrine carcinoma; N/A, not applicable; ND, no data; NED, no evidence of disease; PRRT, peptide receptor radionuclide therapy; SD, stable disease; SSA, somatostatin analog.

a

This includes 15 with NED. The total number included for staging is 47. Twelve TC exhibited DIPNECH (1 NED, 8 SD, and 3 PD).

b

This includes 5 with NED. The total number included for staging is 32. One AC exhibited DIPNECH (1 SD).

c

Cisplatinum-based therapy (with or without vinorelbine or etoposide).

d

This includes 20 with NED.

e

Of the patients with PD, 11 were TC and 10 were AC. T1 (no local or distant metastases: n = 4); T2 (local but not distant metastases: n = 4); T2 (local and distant metastases: n = 3); T3 (n = 0); T4 (local metastases only: n = 1); T4 (local and distant metastases: n = 1).

f

By imaging, 10 were defined as SD on SSAs, and PD was noted in 9.

g

For ACC and SCC, this is the T classification for lung tumors.
