Metastasectomy or Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy With or Without Systemic Therapy for Oligometastatic Esophagogastric Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The primary goal of this study was to determine overall survival (OS) in patients who underwent local treatment (metastasectomy or stereotactic body radiotherapy [SBRT]) or systemic therapy (chemotherapy or targeted therapy) for oligometastatic esophagogastric cancer. The secondary goal was to determine prognostic factors for OS.

Methods

Patients with synchronous or metachronous oligometastatic esophagogastric cancer who underwent local treatment or systemic therapy were included in this single-center, retrospective cohort study. Oligometastatic disease (OMD) included 1 organ or 1 extraregional lymph node station with ≤ 3 lesions. OS was determined after OMD detection. Treatment for OMD was categorized as (1) local treatment, (2) local plus systemic, (3) systemic therapy. The primary tumor was controlled after resection or definitive chemoradiotherapy.

Results

In total, 85 patients were included. Treatment for OMD was local treatment (58%), local plus systemic (14%), or systemic therapy (28%). The primary tumor was controlled in 68% of patients. Most patients were diagnosed with distal esophageal cancer (61%), with adenocarcinoma histology (76%), and presented with synchronous OMD (51%). OS after local treatment was 17 months (95% confidence interval [CI] 12-40), after local plus systemic therapy 35 months (95% CI 29-NA), and after systemic therapy 16 months (95% CI 11-NA). Better OS was independently associated with local plus systemic compared with local treatment (hazard ratio [HR] 2.11, 95% CI 1.05-5.07) or systemic therapy (HR 2.28, 95% CI 1.04-6.07).

Conclusions

Local plus systemic therapy for oligometastatic esophagogastric cancer was independently associated with improved OS and better OS compared with either systemic therapy or local treatment.

Project description:BackgroundStereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is often delivered in patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD). However, the specific subset of patients with polymetastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on novel systemic therapies who develop induced oligopersistant disease (OpersisD) or oligoprogressive disease (OprogD), as defined by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) OMD classification, has not been well described. This study explores the outcomes of patients treated with this strategy.MethodsPatients with stage IV NSCLC being treated with osimertinib or immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) who received extracranial SBRT for OpersisD or OprogD were identified in our retrospective analysis. Outcomes reported include progression-free survival (PFS), time to change of systemic treatment (TTCST), overall survival (OS), local control (LC) and treatment-related toxicity.ResultsForty-nine patients received SBRT for OpersisD (34.7%) or OprogD (65.3%) at a median of 5.8 and 15.3 months after start of systemic therapy, respectively. 55.1% received concurrent osimertinib and 44.9% received ICI. Seventy-seven extracranial lesions were treated with various fractionation schemas. At a median of 18.8 months follow-up from first SBRT, LC was achieved in 92.2% of total lesions treated (71). The 1-year OS was 91.7% for OpersisD and 83.3% for OprogD. OpersisD compared to OprogD had a longer median PFS (18.3 vs. 6.1 months) and longer median TTCST (23.6 vs. 13.5 months), median OS was not reached for either cohort. On multivariate analysis, patients treated with osimertinib had shorter PFS (HR: 2.20; 95% CI: 1.01-4.82; P=0.048) and shorter TTCST (HR: 2.83; 95% CI: 1.09-7.33; P=0.032). One patient (2%) experienced grade 3 pneumonitis after SBRT, and no grade 4-5 toxicities were reported with SBRT treatment.ConclusionsThis study indicates that SBRT for OpersisD or OprogD in Stage IV NSCLC patients on osimertinib or ICIs is safe, very well tolerated, and may prolong the time before needing a shift in systemic therapy. Further prospective research is needed to validate and expand upon these findings.

Project description:PurposeStereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SAbR) is a promising alternative for selected patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) with oligometastasis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of SAbR for longitudinal control in patients with persistently oligometastatic RCC. We report the impact of SAbR on tumor control rates as well as its tolerability in systemic therapy-naïve patients with oligometastatic disease (without brain metastases) and assess the effect of SAbR on subsequent first line systemic therapy by comparison to historical controls.Methods and materialsWe reviewed patients with metastatic RCC treated with front-line SAbR with a curative intent from 2007 to 2017 at UT Southwestern Kidney Cancer Program. We analyzed local control rates (LCR), toxicity, freedom from systemic therapy (FST), type and duration of first-line systemic therapy, and overall survival (OS). Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analyses were used.ResultsWe identified 47 patients with oligometastatic RCC treated with SAbR to 88 metastases; 11 patients had more than 1 SAbR course. The local control rate was 91.5% at 2 years with no reported grade ≥3 toxicity. With a median follow-up of 30 months (interquartile range, 13.7-40.9), median FST from first SAbR was 15.2 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 8.8-40.1). The most common systemic therapies initiated after SAbR were pazopanib (60.7%) and sunitinib (14.3%). The duration of first line systemic therapy appeared unaffected by SAbR. Improved FST was observed in patients with metachronous disease (hazard ratio, 2.67; P = .02), solitary metastasis (HR, 2.26; P = .05), and non-bone metastasis (HR, 2.21; P = .04). One-year and 2-year OS after SAbR were 93.1% (95% CI, 80.1-97.7) and 84.8% (95% CI, 69.1-92.9), respectively. Median OS was not reached.ConclusionsSAbR is an effective and safe treatment for selected patients with oligometastatic RCC, can provide longitudinal disease control without systemic therapy for over a year, and does not appear to adversely affect the effectiveness of first-line systemic therapy once initiated. Prospective validation of these findings is being sought through a phase 2 trial.

Project description:AimTo investigate the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) targeting the primary tumor for liver-only oligometastatic pancreatic cancer.MethodsWe compared the efficacy and safety of SBRT plus chemotherapy with chemotherapy alone in patients with liver-only oligometastatic pancreatic cancer. The populations were balanced by propensity score-weighted and propensity score-matched analyses based on baseline variables. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS). The secondary outcomes included progression free survival (PFS), local progression, metastatic progression and symptomatic local control.ResultsThis is a retrospective study of 89 pancreatic cancer patients with liver-only oligometastasis. Overall, 34 (38.2%) and 55 (61.8%) patients received SBRT plus chemotherapy and chemotherapy alone, respectively. After propensity score matching, 1-year OS rate was 34.0% (95%CI, 17.8-65.1%) in the SBRT plus chemotherapy group and 16.5% (95%CI, 5.9-46.1%) in chemotherapy alone group (P=0.115). The 6-month PFS rate was 29.4% (95%CI, 15.4-56.1) in SBRT plus chemotherapy and 20.6% (95%CI, 8.8-48.6) in chemotherapy alone group (P=0.468), respectively. Further subgroup analysis indicated that the addition of SBRT improved OS in patients with primary tumor located in the head of pancreas (stratified HR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.09 to 0.90) or good performance status (stratified HR, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.86). In terms of disease control, SBRT delayed local progression of pancreas (P=0.008), but not distant metastatic progression (P=0.56). Besides, SBRT offered significant abdominal/back pain relief (P=0.016) with acceptable toxicities.ConclusionsThe addition of SBRT to chemotherapy in patients with liver-only oligometastatic pancreatic cancer improves the OS of those with primary tumor located in the head of pancreas or good performance status. In addition, it is a safe and effective method for local progression control and local symptomatic palliation in patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Project description:Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) also referred to as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), is a technique which has emerged over the past two decades due to improvements in radiation technology. Unlike conventional external beam radiotherapy (cEBRT) which traditionally delivers radiation in small doses [approximately 2 Gray (Gy) per fraction] over several weeks, SBRT, typically delivered in one to eight fractions, is a technique whereby potentially ablative doses of radiotherapy (usually 7.5-20 Gy per fraction) can be delivered with steeper dose gradients and sub millimetre precision, minimising risk to surrounding normal tissues. The potential benefits of excellent tumor control with low toxicity has led to the increasing use of SBRT in a number of clinical situations. Due to compelling evidence, SBRT is now the treatment of choice for medically inoperable patients with peripherally located stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Controversy remains however as to its efficacy and safety for central or ultra-central lung tumors. The evidence base supporting the use of SBRT as a novel treatment for spinal metastases and oligometastases is rapidly expanding but challenges remain in these difficult patient populations. In an era where targeted therapy and improved systemic treatments for stage IV cancer have resulted in increased disease-free survival, and our knowledge of the oligometastatic state is ever expanding, using SBRT to treat metastatic disease and gain durable local control is increasingly desirable. Several randomized trials are currently underway and are sure to provide valuable information on the benefit and utility of SBRT across many tumor sites including early-stage NSCLC, spinal metastases and oligometastatic disease. Recognizing the evolving role of SBRT in clinical practice, this paper provides a critical review of recent developments in each of these areas particularly highlighting the challenges facing clinicians and discusses potential areas for future research.
