    Abstract Objectives: Timely diagnosis of lung cancer (LC) is crucial to achieve optimal patient care and outcome. Moreover, the number of procedures required to obtain a definitive diagnosis can have a large influence on the life expectancy of a patient. Here, adherence with existing Dutch guidelines for timeliness and type and number of invasive and imaging procedures was assessed.
    Materials and methods: 1096 patients with suspected LC were enrolled in this multicenter prospective study (NL9146). The overall survival, time from referral to the first appointment with the pulmonologist, time to diagnosis and treatment, and the number of imaging and invasive procedures were evaluated. Patients were divided into different diagnostic groupsearly- and advanced stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), small-cell lung cancer (SCLC), large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma of the lung (LCNEC), patients without LC and patients without a definitive diagnosis.
    Results: The majority of patients (66 %) received a definitive diagnosis within 5 weeks, although the time to diagnosis of early-stage LC patients and patients without LC was significantly longer comparted to advanced stage LC. An increase in invasive procedures was seen for early-stage LC compared to advanced stage LC and for 13 % of the advanced stage non-squamous NSCLC patients up to three additional invasive procedures were performed solely to obtain sufficient material for NGS. For patients without a definitive diagnosis, 50 % did undergo at least one invasive procedure, while 11 % did not wish to undergo any invasive procedures.
    Conclusion: These insights could aid in improved LC diagnostics and efficient implementation of new techniques like liquid biopsy and artificial intelligence. This may lead to more timely LC care, a decreased number of invasive procedures, less variability between the diagnostic trajectory of different patients and aid in obtaining a definitive diagnosis for all patients.

    Abstract Objectives: Pathologic subtyping of tissue biopsies is the gold standard for the diagnosis of lung cancer (LC), which could be complicated in cases of e.g. inconclusive tissue biopsies or unreachable tumors. The diagnosis of LC could be supported in a minimally invasive manner using protein tumor markers (TMs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) measured in liquid biopsies (LBx). This study evaluates the performance of LBx-based decision-support algorithms for the diagnosis of LC and subtyping into small- and non-small-cell lung cancer (SCLC and NSCLC) aiming to directly impact clinical practice.
    Materials and methods: In this multicenter prospective study (NL9146), eight protein TMs (CA125, CA15.3, CEA, CYFRA 21-1, HE4, NSE, proGRP and SCCA) and ctDNA mutations in EGFR, KRAS and BRAF were analyzed in blood of 1096 patients suspected of LC. The performance of individual and combined TMs to identify LC, NSCLC or SCLC was established by evaluating logistic regression models at pre-specified positive predictive values (PPV) of ≥95% or ≥98%. The most informative protein TMs included in the multi-parametric models were selected by recursive feature elimination.
    Results: Single TMs could identify LC, NSCLC and SCLC patients with 46%, 25% and 40% sensitivity, respectively, at pre-specified PPVs. Multi-parametric models combining TMs and ctDNA significantly improved sensitivities to 65%, 67% and 50%, respectively.
    Conclusion: In patients suspected of LC, the LBx-based decision-support algorithms allowed identification of about two-thirds of all LC and NSCLC patients and half of SCLC patients. These models therefore show clinical value and may support LC diagnostics, especially in patients for whom pathologic subtyping is impossible or incomplete.

    Title translation Acute respiratory insufficiency due to COPD: invasive mechanical ventilation or not?.
    Abstract The decision to move to a form of mechanical ventilation in patients with acute respiratory failure due to an acute exacerbation of COPD is influenced by expectations about survival and quality of life after discharge from the ICU. Physicians tend to be too pessimistic about the survival outcome of an ICU stay with invasive mechanical ventilation. The forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) is not an adequate prognostic parameter. In order to prevent undertreatment of patients with respiratory failure due to an exacerbation of COPD, knowledge of prognostic parameters and quality of life in these patients is very important. End of life care should be integrated into the standard care of COPD patients.

    Abstract Neuron-specific enolase (NSE) is a well-known biomarker for the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Nevertheless, its clinical applicability is limited since serum NSE levels are influenced by hemolysis, leading to falsely elevated results. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a hemolysis correction equation and evaluate its role in SCLC diagnostics. Two serum pools were spiked with increasing amounts of hemolysate obtained from multiple individuals. A hemolysis correction equation was obtained by analyzing the relationship between the measured NSE concentration and the degree of hemolysis. The equation was validated using intentionally hemolyzed serum samples, which showed that the correction was accurate for samples with an H-index up to 30 μmol/L. Correction of the measured NSE concentration in patients suspected of lung cancer caused an increase in AUC and a significantly lower cut-off value for SCLC detection when compared to uncorrected results. Therefore, a hemolysis correction equation should be used to correct falsely elevated NSE concentrations. Results of samples with an H-index above 30 μmol/L should not be reported to clinicians. Application of the equation illustrates the importance of hemolysis correction in SCLC diagnostics and questions the correctness of the currently used diagnostic cut-off value.

    Abstract Introduction: Erlotinib's gastrointestinal solubility and absorption are decreased by proton pump inhibitors (PPIs). Since erlotinib is a lipophilic drug, we hypothesized that concomitant intake with the fatty beverage milk may be a feasible way to increase erlotinib uptake. We performed a two-period, randomized, crossover study to investigate the influence of cow's milk with 3.9% fat on the exposure of erlotinib with and without the PPI esomeprazole in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The effect of esomeprazole was studied in an additional intrapatient comparison.
    Method: Pharmacokinetic sampling was performed on days 7 and 14 during 24 consecutive hours. During the 7 days prior to pharmacokinetic sampling, erlotinib was taken daily with 250 mL of either water or milk. In the PPI arm, esomeprazole (40 mg once daily 3 h prior to erlotinib) was taken for 3 days.
    Results: Erlotinib area under the curve from time zero to 24 h (AUC
    Conclusion: Milk with 3.9% fat has no effect on the exposure to erlotinib in NSCLC patients, independent of PPI use. The combination with milk is safe and well tolerated. Concomitant esomeprazole treatment strongly decreased both erlotinib AUC
