Management of Synchronous Extrathoracic Oligometastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.

ABSTRACT: Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for 35 to 40% of newly diagnosed cases of NSCLC. The oligometastatic state-≤5 extrathoracic metastatic lesions in ≤3 organs-is present in ~25% of patients with stage IV disease and is associated with markedly improved outcomes. We retrospectively identified patients with extrathoracic oligometastatic NSCLC who underwent primary tumor resection at our institution from 2000 to 2018. Event-free survival (EFS) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method. Factors associated with EFS and OS were determined using Cox regression. In total, 111 patients with oligometastatic NSCLC underwent primary tumor resection; 87 (78%) had a single metastatic lesion. Local consolidative therapy for metastases was performed in 93 patients (84%). Seventy-seven patients experienced recurrence or progression. The five-year EFS was 19% (95% confidence interval (CI), 12-29%), and the five-year OS was 36% (95% CI, 27-50%). Factors independently associated with EFS were primary tumor size (hazard ratio (HR), 1.15 (95% CI, 1.03-1.29); p = 0.014) and lymphovascular invasion (HR, 1.73 (95% CI, 1.06-2.84); p = 0.029). Factors independently associated with OS were neoadjuvant therapy (HR, 0.43 (95% CI, 0.24-0.77); p = 0.004), primary tumor size (HR, 1.18 (95% CI, 1.02-1.35); p = 0.023), pathologic nodal disease (HR, 1.83 (95% CI, 1.05-3.20); p = 0.033), and visceral-pleural invasion (HR, 1.93 (95% CI, 1.10-3.40); p = 0.022). Primary tumor resection represents an important treatment option in the multimodal management of extrathoracic oligometastatic NSCLC. Encouraging long-term survival can be achieved in carefully selected patients, including those who received neoadjuvant therapy and those with limited intrathoracic disease.

Project description:PurposeWe examined long-term clinical outcomes among patients with synchronous oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated at our institution with definitive thoracic chemoradiation therapy (CRT) and local therapy to all oligometastatic lesions.Methods and materialsA retrospective review identified 38 patients with synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC (≤3 metastatic lesions) who were treated with definitive CRT to the primary tumor and regional lymph nodes between 1999 and 2017 at our institution. Of the 38 patients, 27 patients (71%) received induction chemotherapy, all of whom responded or stabilized with initial systemic therapy before consideration of CRT. Most patients received chemotherapy concurrently with radiation therapy (n = 32; 84%) and local therapy to the metastatic disease site(s) (n = 34; 89%). We assessed patterns of progression or failure, overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and toxicities.ResultsThe median follow-up duration was 54.9 months. Most patients (84%) presented with N2 to N3 disease. The brain or central nervous system was the most common site of disease progression and occurred in 16 of 28 patients (57%) experiencing any progression and 10 of 16 patients (63%) who initially presented with brain oligometastases. Median OS was 21.1 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 15.6-49.0 months), and median PFS 9.7 months (95% CI, 8.2-14.4 months). The 1-, 2-, and 4-year OS rates were 75.7%, 45.0%, and 33.7%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, both locoregional progression (hazard ratio: 5.8; 95% CI, 2.2-15.0; P = .0003) and distant progression (hazard ratio: 6.0; 95% CI, 2.3-15.4; P = .0002), when treated as time-dependent covariates, were associated with inferior OS. Grade ≥3 esophagitis occurred in 9% and grade ≥3 pneumonitis in 5% of patients with evaluable data.ConclusionsPatients with synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC and a high regional nodal burden treated with definitive thoracic CRT experienced favorable survival outcomes and low toxicity. At our institution, treating oligometastatic disease with CRT after systemic therapy is incorporated into the treatment plan from the onset of therapy, and we monitor the neuraxis closely for progression during and after treatment. Future research should focus on novel treatment combinations, such as immunotherapy or targeted systemic therapy as appropriate to further improve tumor control and survival.
