PURPOSE: We evaluated the surgical outcomes of salvage extended surgery after definitive medical treatment with an immune-checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) for locally advanced or unresectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

METHODS: The subjects of this single-center retrospective analysis were 14 patients who underwent salvage surgery after ICI treatment between May, 2017 and April, 2023 at our institute. We reviewed the comprehensive surgical outcomes, including operative procedures, intraoperative findings, and postoperative morbidities. Overall survival (OS) was calculated using a Kaplan-Meier estimation.

RESULTS: The initial clinical stage before medical treatment (c-stage) was stage III in eight patients, stage IV in five patients, and one patient had postoperative lung cancer recurrence. The indications for surgery were as follows: local control for relapse or residual tumor in ten patients and discontinuation of systemic therapy because of treatment-related complications in four patients. The surgical modes were segmentectomy (n = 1), lobectomy (n = 4), bilobectomy (n = 3), pneumonectomy (n = 6), and bronchoplasty (n = 7). Grade 3 or higher postoperative morbidities were observed in six patients, including only one case of 90-day mortality.

CONCLUSIONS: Our series demonstrated that the surgical outcome of salvage extended surgery after ICI therapy may be positive with careful selection of the procedure and indication.
