Obesity-Specific Association of Statin Use and Reduced Risk of Recurrence of Early Stage NSCLC

Introduction: Statins, used for their lipid-lowering activity, have anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties as well. We evaluated this potential benefit of statin use in patients with NSCLC. Methods: All 613 patients with pathologic stage 1 or 2 NSCLC who had lobectomy without neoadjuvant therap...

We evaluated this potential benefit of statin use in patients with NSCLC. Methods: All 613 patients with pathologic stage 1 or 2 NSCLC who had lobectomy without neoadjuvant therapy at our institution during 2008 to 2015 were included. Association between presurgery statin use and overall survival and recurrence-free survival (RFS) was analyzed using Cox proportional hazards regression. Association of statin use with tumor transcriptome was evaluated in another 350 lung cancer cases. Results: Univariable analyses did not reveal a statistically significant association of statin use with either overall survival or RFS, with hazard ratio equals to 1.19 and 0.70 (Wald p = 0.28 and 0.09), respectively. In subgroup analyses, significantly improved RFS was found in statin users, but only in overweight/obese patients (body mass index [BMI] > 25; n = 422), with univariable and multivariable hazard ratio of 0.49 and 0.46 (p = 0.005 and 0.002), respectively, but not in patients with BMI less than or equal to 25 (n = 191; univariable p = 0.21). Transcriptomes of tumor statin users had high expression of tumoricidal genes such as granzyme A and interferon-γ compared with those of nonusers among high- but not low-BMI patients with lung cancer. Conclusions: Our study suggests that statins may improve the outcome of early stage NSCLC but only in overweight or obese patients. This benefit may stem from a favorable reprogramming of the antitumor immune response that statins perpetrate specifically in the obese.Santosh K.
