Methods: Patient characteristics are shown in table 1. We evaluated tumor burden, the presence of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL), and type of lung injury. TIL were quantitated using a 4 tier system (0-3+ ¼ none; mild, moderate, extensive). Table 1. Summary of demographic and clinical information Case

Results: Residual viable tumor with little or no therapy effects was present in all 7 cases. The 4 cases where pneumonitis was diagnosed clinically all had at least focal DAD. The majority of tumors had at least scattered TIL present, while one tumor had a large number TIL. Table 2. Summary of autopsy findings Tumor

Conclusion: The majority of patients with clinical diagnosis of pneumonitis did have DAD at autopsy and variable amount of viable tumor in the lungs and at least a few tumor infiltrating lymphocytes. Additional studies are pending the further characterize the phenotype of the TIL and to determine PD1 and PDL1 expression on the tumor cells.

PUB049 Distinct Clinical Characteristics of Lung Adenocarcinoma Correlate with Its Histologic Patterns Yue Cheng,1 Zhixin Qiu,2 Ping Zhou,1 Dan Liu,2 Weimin Li2 1West China School of Medicine, west China Hospital, sichuan University, Chengdu,sichuan/China, 2 West China Hospital, sichuan University, Chengdu,sichuan/China Background: A novel classification system based on architecture and associated with prognosis has been proposed for pulmonary adenocarcinoma (ADC) by International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, American Thoracic Society, and European Respiratory Society (IASLC/ATS/ERS) in 2011. Here, we evaluated the relationship between clinical characteristics and its histologic patterns. Methods: 400 resected invasive lung ADCs in West China Hospital from 2008 to 2014 were analyzed in 5% increments and classified according to their predominant patterns, as proposed by the IASLC/ATS/ERS. Pleural invasion, angio-lymphatic invasion, tumor necrosis, lymph node metastasis, cell differentiation were recorded. Clinical data,including gender, age at diagnosis, smoking status, family history, and TNM stage were also collected. Results: In the total 400 cases, there were 194 acinar predominant ADCs (APA,48.5%), 85 lepidic predominant ADCs (LPA,21.2%), 65 papillary predominant ADCs (PPA,16.2%), 51 solid predominant ADCs (SPA,12.8%), 5 micro-papillary ADCs (MIA,1.2%). 95.0% were with mixed growth patterns. Univariate analysis showed that ADC subtypes were significantly associated with sex (p¼0.037), tumor diameter (p<0.001), pleural invasion (p¼0.001), tumor necrosis (p<0.001), cell differentiation (p<0.001), lymph node metastasis (p¼0.003), TNM stage (p<0.05) and smoking history (p¼0.001). Multivariate analysis concluded that ADC subtypes were correlated with pleural invasion (p¼0.014) and cell differentiation (p<0.001) significantly. Conclusion: Invasive lung ADC subtypes classified according to the IASLC/ERS/ATS proposal are closely correlated with distinctive clinical characteristics,which may offer the basis for the development of individualized strategies for lung ADC sufferers.
