Background: The diagnosis of active neoplastic disease was traditionally judged an absolute contraindication for extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) because of the fear of tumor cells being scattered or seeded. The aim of this study is to compare the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) before and after surgery in patients receiving lung cancer resection with and without intraoperative ECMO support. Methods: This is a prospective, non-randomized, two-arms observational study comparing the number of CTCs before and after surgery in patients receiving lung cancer resection with and without intraoperative ECMO support. The ECMO arm includes patients suffering from lung cancer undergoing pulmonary resection with planned intraoperative ECMO support. The non-ECMO arm includes patients suffering from non-early-stage lung cancer undergoing pulmonary resection without planned intraoperative ECMO support. Results: Twenty patients entered the study, eight in the ECMO arm and twelve in the non-ECMO arm. We did not observe any significant difference between the ECMO and non-ECMO groups in terms of postoperative complications (p = 1.00), ICU stay (p = 0.30), hospital stay (p = 0.23), circulating tumor cells’ increase or decrease after surgery (p = 0.24), and postoperative C-reactive protein and C-reactive protein increase (p = 0.80). The procedures in the non-ECMO arm were significantly longer than those in the ECMO arm (p = 0.043). Conclusions: Intraoperative ECMO for lung cancer resections did not impact CTC increase or decrease after the procedure.

Abstract
Background: The diagnosis of active neoplastic disease was traditionally judged an absolute contraindication for extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (ECMO) because of the fear of tumor cells being scattered or seeded. The aim of this study is to compare the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) before and after surgery in patients receiving lung cancer resection with and without intraoperative ECMO support. Methods: This is a prospective, non-randomized, two-arms observational study comparing the number of CTCs before and after surgery in patients receiving lung cancer resection with and without intraoperative ECMO support. The ECMO arm includes patients suffering from lung cancer undergoing pulmonary resection with planned intraoperative ECMO support. The non-ECMO arm includes patients suffering from non-early-stage lung cancer undergoing pulmonary resection without planned intraoperative ECMO support. Results: Twenty patients entered the study, eight in the ECMO arm and twelve in the non-ECMO arm. We did not observe any significant difference between the ECMO and non-ECMO groups in terms of postoperative complications (p = 1.00), ICU stay (p = 0.30), hospital stay (p = 0.23), circulating tumor cells’ increase or decrease after surgery (p = 0.24), and postoperative C-reactive protein and C-reactive protein increase (p = 0.80). The procedures in the non-ECMO arm were significantly longer than those in the ECMO arm (p = 0.043). Conclusions: Intraoperative ECMO for lung cancer resections did not impact CTC increase or decrease after the procedure.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
