Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Disease Understanding and Treatment Algorithm

Lung cancer mainly begins in the lungs, and it may spread to lymph nodes or other organs in the body, such as the brain. However, cancer from other organs may also spread to the lungs. When cancer cells spread from one organ to another, they are called metastases.

There are mainly two types of lung cancer Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). NSCLC is the most common type of lung cancer accounted for approximately 85% of all lung cancers (IASLC, n.d.). However, NSCLC metastasizes to other organs slower in comparison to SCLC, and microscopically, SCLC is composed of much smaller cells. If untreated, SCLC can be fatal in a few weeks, in contrast to most cases of NSCLC.

NSCLC can be defined as any type of epithelial lung cancer other than SCLC. It is mainly subcategorized into adenocarcinomas, squamous cell carcinomas, large cell carcinomas and several other types that occur less frequently include adenosquamous carcinomas and sarcomatoid carcinomas.

In the United States, according to the data published by the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review (ICER) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) out of the total lung cancer cases approximately 85% of lung cancers are NSCLC. Among those cases, squamous cell carcinoma comprised 30% cases, adenocarcinoma comprised of 40% cases, and large-cell carcinoma comprised 15% cases. Also, all other country based registries have mentioned almost same percentage for NSCLC and its major subtypes.

NSCLC can be located in the mid-chest, but it is often also found in other parts of the lung too. Even though NSCLCs are associated with cigarette smoking, adenocarcinomas may also be found in patients who have never smoked. Also, itis relatively insensitive to chemotherapy and radiation therapy in comparison with SCLC.

NSCLC arises from the epithelial cells of the lung of the central bronchi to terminal alveoli. The histological type of NSCLC correlates with the site of origin, reflecting the variation in respiratory tract epithelium of the bronchi to alveoli. While squamous cell carcinoma starts near a central bronchus usually, Adenocarcinoma and bronchioloalveolar carcinoma typically originate in peripheral lung tissue.

The symptoms of NSCLC and SCLC can be similar, which may include a persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, wheezing, loss of appetite, weight loss, and unusual tiredness.

Although tobacco smoking is the major risk factor for either type of lung cancer, a substantial number of patients diagnosed with lung cancer have no prior history of smoking. Besides, exposure to passive smoking, asbestos, and radon may also increase the risk of developing lung cancer.

Patients of NSCLC with the resectable disease may be cured by surgery or surgery followed by chemotherapy. Local control can be achieved by radiation therapy in a large number of patients with unresectable disease. On the other hand, patients with the locally advanced unresectable disease may achieve long-term survival with radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy and the patients with advanced metastatic disease may achieve improved survival and palliation of symptoms with chemotherapy, targeted agents, and other supportive measures

Diagnosis

The diagnosis and staging of NSCLC are often done at the same time. The tests and procedures used in the diagnosis of NSCLC are Physical exam and history, Laboratory tests, Chest X-ray, CT scan, Sputum cytology, Thoracentesis, Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) biopsy of the Lung, Bronchoscopy, Thoracoscopy, Mediastinoscopy, Anterior Mediastinotomy, Lymph node biopsy, Molecular test, Immunohistochemistry, among others.

Some of the tests that are used to diagnose NSCLC also determine the stage of the disease such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), CT scan, PET scan (positron emission tomography scan), bone scan, pulmonary function test (PFT), and bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. The staging system of NSCLC is divided into various stages such as Occult (hidden) cancer, Stage 0, Stage IA1, IA2, IA3, IB, IIA, IIB, IIIA, IIIB, IIIC, IVA, and IVB.

Treatment

There are different types of treatment available for NSCLC; however, mainly 10 types of standard treatment are used, which include: Surgery, Radiation therapy, Chemotherapy, Targeted therapy, Immunotherapy, Laser therapy, Photodynamic therapy (PDT), Cryosurgery, Electrocautery, and Watchful waiting.

Chemotherapy is used to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping their division. Targeted therapy is a type of treatment that uses drugs or other substances to attack specific cancer cells. These therapies usually cause less harm to normal cells than chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors are the two main types of targeted therapy being used to treat advanced, metastatic, or recurrent NSCLC. Immunotherapy is a type of treatment that uses the patients’ immune system to fight cancer. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays or other types of radiations to kill cancer cells or keep them from developing.

The therapies that are approved for the treatment of NSCLC are Rozlytrek (Entrectinib), Imfinzi (Durvalumab), Opdivo (Nivolumab), Tecentriq (Atezolizumab), Keytruda (Pembrolizumab), Tafinlar (Dabrafenib) in combination with Mekinist (Trametinib), Tagrisso (osimertinib), Lorbrena/Lorviqua (Lorlatinib), Vizimpro (Dacomitinib), Alunbrig (Brigatinib), Alecensa (Alectinib), Vitrakvi (Larotrectinib), Portrazza (Necitumumab), among others.

Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer Market Outlook

There are several treatment options available to treat this condition in the seven major markets. Typically, chemotherapy, targeted treatments, and immunotherapy – alone or in combination – are used to treat lung cancer. Besides, pharmacological treatment choices, surgery, and radiation are also frequently opted. When the patient is in the initial stages, the tumor is usually resectable. Most stage I and stage II NSCLC are treated with surgery to remove the tumor.

To recommend a treatment option to a patient of NSCLC, several key factors are taken into consideration, such as age of the patient, previous medical history, health status, and smoking history. Along with these, another essential factor to consider is the stage of cancer at the time of diagnosis. Staging is usually carried out twice: after clinical and radiological examinations; and after surgery, in the case of the surgically resected tumor. Furthermore, biological testing of the tumor is also crucial to understand the presence of specific mutations.

The main choice of treatment for cancer, before the discovery of targeted therapies was chemotherapy. Chemotherapy works by disrupting the way that cancer cells grow and divide. However, these drugs can also affect normal cells. Chemotherapy can be given before or after surgery for NSCLC. Some people have chemotherapy at the same time as radiotherapy this is called chemoradiotherapy. Chemotherapy may be given to try to cure cancer or to prolong life and control symptoms (palliative care).

One of the most exciting developments in lung cancer medicine is the introduction of targeted treatments. Unlike chemotherapy drugs, which cannot tell the difference between normal cells and cancer cells, targeted therapies are designed to attack cancer cells specifically by attaching to or blocking targets that appear on the surfaces of those cells. People who have advanced lung cancer with certain molecular biomarkers may receive treatment with a targeted drug alone or in combination with chemotherapy.

As several institutes and pharmacological companies indulged themselves in a more in-depth understanding of this disease, therapies for advanced NSCLC have developed significantly with a new awareness of histologic subtypes. It is an important factor in guiding treatment and the development of targeted agents for molecular subgroups harboring critical mutations that spur on cancer growth.

Reimbursement Scenario in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

The current scenario of therapeutics for NSCLC is mainly based on the use of targeted therapies and immunotherapy’s. Especially the current paradigm is mainly associated with treatment specific to mutations that occur in NSCLC. NSCLC is characterized by the availability of a high number of branded therapies such as Keytruda, Opdivo, Tecentriq, Tagrisso, and others. Due to the high costs, some of the therapies are not able to show their cost-effectiveness and are unable to get a recommendation by assessment agencies. So, the access and reimbursement scenario of drugs for NSCLC is not easy as cost-effectiveness is a major barrier for therapies in NSCLC.

The recommendation of some drugs by NICE which are approved for NSCLC are Opdivo (Nivolumab), Tagrisso (osimertinib), Alunbrig (brigatinib), Keytruda (pembrolizumab), Nintedanib in combination with docetaxel, Durvalumab, Atezolizumab with carboplatin and nab-paclitaxel, among others.
