<div>Abstract: In the last decades, the dichotomic distinction between small cell (SCLC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been one of the key parameters in the therapeutic management of lung cancer. However, the advent of targeted therapies based on druggable oncogenic molecular alterations and immunotherapy interfering with the PD1/PD-L1 checkpoint has overridden the role of the precise definition of tumour histologic type in the modern approach to lung cancer, particularly in NSCLC. While a better definition of histotype in NSCLC may be still helpful in selecting chemotherapy regimens in those NSCLC lacking targetable genetic alterations (i.e., EGFR and BRAF mutations, ALK and ROS1 rearrangements) and PD-L1 overexpression, the possible identification of targetable oncogenic drivers in liquid biopsy using high throughput deep sequencing methods will somehow change the paradigm of histology determination as one the mandatory step in future therapeutic strategies in lung cancer. Thus, in this review we challenge the future role of histotype as an important influencing factor in the clinical management of patients with NSCLC.</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>Advent 7113 Xp Driver Download</div><div></div><div>Download: https://t.co/eWPlSJP22a </div><div></div><div></div><div>In regards with histological tumour definition, clinicians generally subdivide lung cancer into two major groups: small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and NSCLC (7). This dichotomic classification has been considered sufficiently exhaustive for the management of patients with lung cancer up to the introduction of chemotherapy regimen with pemetrexed and/or bevacizumab, requiring the NSCLC subcategorization at least into squamous versus non-squamous cell carcinoma (8-11). In the meantime, the huge amount of molecular information derived from gene expression profiling and next generation sequencing studies evidenced several genetic alterations in lung cancer oncogenic drivers predicting efficacy using specific targeted molecules (small inhibitors and monoclonal antibodies), somehow limiting the role of tumour histotype (12-16).</div><div></div><div></div><div>Indeed, in the last decade the most important and effective changes in the therapeutic approach of patients with lung cancer are related to the discovery of molecular impairments in druggable oncogenic drivers and immunotherapy using humanized monoclonal antibodies blocking the programmed death (PD)-1/PD-ligand (PD-L)-1 checkpoint (12). In addition, the advent of liquid biopsy already permits to evidence key genetic alterations using highly sensitive methods to sequence DNA and RNA (13), preventing to obtain tissue samples using invasive procedures and facilitating the introduction of ongoing drugs against histology-agnostic genetic alterations (e.g., NTRKs) (Figure 1) (14-16). All these features are deeply challenging the role of classic lung tumor histologic definition and enrich the meaning of histology with additional molecular information (Figure 2).</div><div></div><div></div><div>Histologic definition of lung cancer is based on criteria posed by the most recent 2015 WHO classification (17). Since more than two third of NSCLC are not resectable at diagnosis, histologic features derived from examination of surgically-excised tumors are not always translatable in cytology/small biopsy. In addition, limitation of histology-based therapies relies in the simple distinction between squamous cell versus non-squamous cell carcinoma as the mainstay for clinical management of patients with NSCLC.</div><div></div><div></div><div>The list of primary lung cancers identified in the WHO classification comprises 3 main categories (adenocarcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, neuroendocrine tumours) and poorly-differentiated or undifferentiated tumours lacking any differentiation at light microscope analysis or extensive immunostaining [e.g., large cell carcinoma (LCC) and sarcomatoid carcinoma].</div><div></div><div></div><div>Limitations of conventional histologic examination to disclose the original cell differentiation in poorly-differentiated/undifferentiated carcinomas are well-demonstrated by recent molecular studies in large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC), undifferentiated LCC [namely NSCLC, not otherwise specified (n.o.s.) on cytology and small biopsy] and sarcomatoid carcinoma.</div><div></div><div></div><div>LCNEC has been considered a variant of LCC in the previous 2004 WHO classification (2) of lung cancer and then included as poorly-differentiated carcinoma into the rubric of neuroendocrine tumours in the last classification (17). The diagnosis requires a clear-cut neuroendocrine differentiation at morphology and at the immunohistochemistry level. The prognosis is quite similar to that of SCLC (17). However, the overall survival at 5 years reported in literature is ranging from 13% to 51% in stage I, consistently suggesting that this challenging diagnosis depends on the application of rigorous pathologic criteria (25).</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div>LCC is a non-small-cell carcinoma lacking morphologic differentiation of either adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma, basically representing a highly aggressive tumour with an end-stage cell differentiation (30,31). Rekhtman et al. (32) analysed 102 LCC with immunostaining (TTF-1 versus p40) and molecular gene alterations (EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, MAP2K1/MEK1, NRAS, ERBB2/HER2 mutations and ALK rearrangements versus PIK3CA and AKT1 mutations) for adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, respectively. Of note, molecular alterations characteristic of adenocarcinoma occurred in tumours with immunoprofiles of adenocarcinoma or marker-null, but not in tumours with squamous immunoprofile (combined mutation rate 50% vs. 30% vs. 0%, respectively; P</div><div></div><div></div><div>Similarly, Driver et al. (33) reclassified 17 LCC as adenocarcinoma (9 cases with mutations in KRAS, EGFR, BRAF) and 8 as squamous cell carcinoma (PIK3CA, CDKN2A mutations) using NGS technology. Pelosi et al. (34) dissected 30 LCC by unsupervised targeted next generation sequencing analysis demonstrating that 3 cases showing TTF1-/p40+ phenotype harboured TP53 only in keeping with a squamous cell lineage, while the others 90% featuring various phenotypical combinations of TTF1 and p40 comprised ATM, BRAF, CDKN2A, EGFR, ERBB4, FBXW7, FLT3, KRAS, NRAS, PIK3CA, PTPN11, RET, SMAD4, SMO, STK11, or TP53 mutations in keeping with adenocarcinoma lineage. Another study investigating lineage-specific immunomarkers, EGFR and KRAS mutations and ALK rearrangement in 121 LCC along the spectrum of variants provided by the 2004 WHO classification evidenced that all 47 LCNEC had a true neuroendocrine cell lineage without gene alterations, whereas all 24 basaloid and 2 lymphoepithelioma-like carcinomas showed squamous cell markers (35). Eighteen out of 22 clear cell carcinomas had glandular differentiation, with KRAS mutations in 39% of cases. Eighteen out of 20 undifferentiated LCC showed glandular differentiation upon immunohistochemistry, with exon 21 L858R EGFR mutation in one (5%) tumour, exon 2 KRAS mutation in eight (40%) tumours, and ALK translocation in one (5%). All 6 LCC of rhabdoid type expressed TTF-1 and/or CK7, 50% of which also harboured KRAS mutations (35). At the end, molecular alterations were restricted to LCC having an adenocarcinoma cell differentiation and stratification of LCC using immunohistochemistry and molecular analysis revealed a direct correlation between phenotypic and genotypic arrangements.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Sarcomatoid carcinoma is an umbrella term to indicate a group of poorly-differentiated/undifferentiated NSCLC showing sarcoma-like (giant and/or spindle cell component) or true sarcomatous (mainly chondrosarcoma, osteosarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma) differentiation with or without a component of conventional NSCLC (17,36), then including different variants (pleomorphic, spindle cell, giant cell carcinomas, carcinosarcoma and pulmonary blastoma). Previous studies on relatively large series demonstrated that at immunohistochemistry thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF-1) and cytokeratin 7 were positive in 55% and 70% of spindle and/or giant cell carcinomas and 43% and 63% in pleomorphic carcinomas, supporting the metaplastic histogenetic theory for these tumours, ancestrally starting from a conventional histology possessing a genetic EMT program (37). Even at molecular level, sarcomatoid carcinomas harbour mutations involving oncogenic drivers of adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinomas, including KRAS, EGFR, TP53, STK11, NOTCH1, NRAS, PI3KCA and BRAF (38-40). A significantly higher rate of c-MET skipping mutations in exon 14 and MET amplification have been reported in this rare histology (41,42).</div><div></div><div></div><div>Finally, histology has also a role in explaining primary or secondary resistance to tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) in tumours harbouring mutations or rearrangements in the most common oncogenic drivers, but also in chemotherapy and immunotherapy (43-67). Indeed, a histologic change from adenocarcinoma to small cell or squamous cell carcinoma have been well-demonstrated in about 10% of EGFR mutated or ALK rearranged lung cancer (68,69).</div><div></div><div></div><div>The pass to sarcomatoid histology has been previously demonstrated in EGFR-mutated cell lines of lung adenocarcinoma, and concurrent acquisition of other gene alterations (i.e., T790M EGFR or NKx2-4 mutation) was recently observed (49-52).</div><div></div><div></div><div>While multivariate analyses on large cooperative groups on chemotherapy in advanced NSCLC stated that histotype is not a determinant factor of efficacy and have a little, if none, prognostic significance (7), alternative chemotherapeutic protocols have reported a different response rate in regards with lung cancer histology.</div><div></div><div></div><div>Tegafur-uracil in adjuvant setting improved overall survival of Japanese patients with stage I adenocarcinoma subtype (70). Again, Georgoulias et al. (71) revealed that the regimen including gemcitabine + docetaxel was significantly more effective in patients with adenocarcinoma histology than in non-adenocarcinomatous NSCLC. On the other hand, patients with non-adenocarcinoma NSCLC had a significant better response to cisplatinum + docetaxel than those with adenocarcinoma histology, then stating that histological type had an important predictive role at univariate and multivariate statistical analysis (71).</div><div></div><div> 795a8134c1</div>
