Popis: (1) Background: Chromatin structure typing has been used for prognostic risk stratification among cancer survivors. This study aimed to ascertain the prognostic values of ploidy, nucleotyping, and tumor–stroma ratio (TSR) in predicting disease progression for patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and to explore whether patients with different nucleotyping profiles can benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy. (2) Methods: DNA ploidy, nucleotyping, and TSR were measured by chromatin structure typing analysis (Matrix Analyser, Room4, Kent, UK). Cox proportional hazard regression models were used to assess the relationships of DNA ploidy, nucleotyping, and TSR with a 5-year disease-free survival (DFS). (3) Results: among 154 early-stage NSCLC patients, 102 were non-diploid, 40 had chromatin heterogeneity, and 126 had a low stroma fraction, respectively. Univariable analysis suggested that non-diploidy was associated with a significantly lower 5-year DFS rate. After combining DNA ploidy and nucleotyping for risk stratification and adjusting for potential confounders, the DNA ploidy and nucleotyping (PN) high-risk group and PN medium-risk group had a 4- (95% CI: 1.497–8.754) and 3-fold (95% CI: 1.196–6.380) increase in the risk of disease progression or mortality within 5 years of follow-up, respectively, compared to the PN low-risk group. In PN high-risk patients, adjuvant therapy was associated with a significantly improved 5-year DFS (HR = 0.214, 95% CI: 0.048–0.957, p = 0.027). (4) Conclusions: the non-diploid DNA status and the combination of ploidy and nucleotyping can be useful prognostic indicators to predict long-term outcomes in early-stage NSCLC patients. Additionally, NSCLC patients with non-diploidy and chromatin homogenous status may benefit from adjuvant therapy.
