Objectives: Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) segmentectomy for small or early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains controversial. Here, we investigated the clinical importance of predicting recurrence by Ki-67 in VATS segmentectomy for stage I NSCLC.Methods: In a retrospective study, 44 consecutive patients in p-stage I underwent VATS segmentectomy between September 2003 and April 2009. After clinicopathological factors were compared with Ki-67 expression, the relationship between Ki-67 labeling indexes (LI) or mRNA expression by quantitative RT-PCR and prognosis was investigated.Results: Five of 44 VATS segmentectomy patients relapsed. In the relapsed patients, 3 (6.8%) were local recurrences and 2 (4.5%) were distant metastases. There was no significant difference between clinicopathological factors and recurrence; however, patients with Ki-67 LI less than 5% showed better disease-free survival than patients with Ki-67 LI over 5% (p = 0.04). In multivariate Cox regression analysis, although there was no significantly different in disease-free survival by age, histology, tumor size, only Ki-67 LI showed a significant prognostic factor of recurrence (HR = 12.5, 95% CI = [1.1-1407], p = 0.04).Conclusions: Ki-67 LI after VATS segmentectomy was a prognostic factor of disease-free survival in NSCLC and the treatment of choice for patients with positive LI may be considered, in addition to adjuvant chemotherapy, or lobectomy.(Released on June 14, 2011, at ATCS Home Page as Online Advance Publication ahead of J-STAGE.)
