Abstract
Background: With the knowledge of oligometastases, primary surgery plays an increasingly
vital role in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. We aimed to evaluate
the survival benefit of primary surgery based on metastatic patterns. Materials and Methods: The selected patients with stage IV extrathoracic metastatic (m1b) non-small
cell lung cancer between 2010 and 2015 were included in a retrospective
cohort study from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)
database. Multiple imputation was used for the missing data. Patients were
divided into 2 groups depending on whether surgery was performed. After
covariate balancing propensity score (CBPS) weighting, multivariate Cox
regression models and Kaplan-Meier survival curve were built to identify the
survival benefit of different metastatic patterns. Results: Surgery can potentially increase the overall survival (OS) (adjusted HR:
0.68, P < 0.001) of non-small cell lung cancer. The
weighted 3-year OS in the surgical group was 16.9%, compared with 7.8% in
the nonsurgical group. For single organ metastasis, surgery could improve
the survival of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer. Meanwhile, no
significant survival improvements in surgical group were observed in
patients with multiple organ metastases. Conclusion: The surgical survival benefits for extrathoracic metastatic non-small cell
lung cancer could be divided by metastatic pattern.

Abstract
Preclinical and early clinical evidence suggest that radical radiotherapy of oligometastatic disease in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients can impact outcomes with relatively limited toxicity. Whilst data from phase 2 randomized trials suggesting an improved overall survival (OS) with this treatment is promising, it has also illustrated the heterogeneity in this patient population and treatment. Oligometastatic disease in itself comprises a broad spectrum of patients, in terms of tumor load and location, stage of the disease and treatment history. This real-life variety in patient characteristics is often reflected in studies to a certain extent, hinting to the fact that all might benefit from radical radiotherapy to limited metastatic disease, yet leaving the question unanswered as to whom the ideal candidate is. Furthermore, differences between and within studies with regards to treatment modality, timing, radiation technique, and radiation dose are substantial. Also, preclinical and early clinical trials suggest that radiotherapy can work synergistically with checkpoint inhibitors by acting as an in situ cancer vaccine, therefore the combination of these two treatments in oligometastatic patients might entail the largest benefit. Ongoing randomized controlled phase 3 trials and prospective registry trials will further elucidate the true extent of benefit of this local treatment strategy and aid in identifying the ideal patient population and therapy. The current narrative review summarizes the clinical evidence on radiotherapy for oligometastatic NSCLC and highlights the remaining unknowns.

Abstract
Objective In this review, the concept of (synchronous) oligometastatic disease in patients with non-oncogene-driven non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) will be placed in the context of tumor biology and metastatic growth patterns. We will also provide considerations for clinical practice and future perspectives, which will ultimately lead to better patient selection and oligometastatic disease outcome. Background The treatment landscape of metastasized NSCLC has moved from "one-size fits all" to a personalized approach. Prognosis has traditionally been poor but new treatment options, such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy, brighten future perspectives. Another emerging development is the recognition of patients with so-called "oligometastatic" state of disease. Oligometastatic disease has been recognized as a distinct clinical presentation in which the tumor is stated to be early in its evolution of metastatic potential. It is suggested that this stage of disease has an indolent course, comes with a better prognosis and therefore could be considered for radical multimodality treatment. Methods Narrative overview of the literature synthesizing the findings of literature retrieved from searches of computerized databases, hand searches, and authoritative texts. Conclusions Oligometastatic NSCLC is a broad spectrum disease, with a variable prognosis. Although the biology and behavior of "intermediate state" of metastatic disease are not fully understood, there is evidence that a subgroup of patients can benefit from local radical treatment when integrated into a multimodality regime. The consensus definition of oligometastatic NSCLC, including accurate staging, may help to uniform future trials. The preferable treatment strategy seems to sequential systemic treatment with subsequent local radical treatment in patients with a partial response or stable disease. Prognostic factors such as N-stage, number and site of distant metastases, tumor volume, performance status, age, and tumor type should be considered. The local radical treatment strategy has to be discussed in a multidisciplinary team meeting, taking into account patient characteristics and invasiveness of the procedure. However, many aspects remain to be explored and learned about the cancer biology and characteristics of intermediate state tumors.

Abstract
Background To describe the incidence and the clinical characteristics of oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. Oligometastatic NSCLC is gaining recognition as a clinical condition with a different prognosis compared to multi metastatic disease. Usually, four different scenarios of oligometastatic disease can be described but not epidemiological data are available. To date, it is difficult to delineate an exhaustive epidemiological scenario because no uniform or shared definition of oligometastatic status exists, even though a recent consensus defined synchronous oligometastatic disease as having a maximum of 5 metastases in 3 different organs. Methods A systematic review and a pooled analysis of literature were performed. Article selection was based on the following characteristics: focus on lung cancers; dealing with oligometastatic settings and providing a definition of oligometastatic disease; number of metastatic lesions with or without the number of organs involved; providing some incidence or clinical characteristics of oligometastatic NSCLC patients. Series focusing on a specific single metastatic organ were excluded. The research was launched in MEDLINE (OvidSP) in March 2020. Full articles were individually and collectively read by the authors according to the previous criteria. Each author inspected the reference list included in the eligible articles. If the selection criteria were recognized, the article was reviewed by all authors and then included. Data on patient clinical features were pooled together from 31 articles selected. Results A total number of 31 articles have been selected for the analysis. The following variables were extracted from the publications: (I) number of metastases, (II) number of organs involved, (III) number of patients, (IV) number and percentage of males and females, (V) number and percentage of squamous and non-squamous histology, (VI) T and N status and/or stage of primary disease for oligometastatic setting. The data collected have been analyzed according to the oligometastatic setting. Conclusions Oligometastatic status is globally identified as a different clinical condition from multi metastatic NSCLC, although the clinical characteristics were consistent in the general metastatic population, even with a lower-than-expected TN status. The brain and bones were the most frequent organs involved. Lacking consensus definition, these results must be interpreted cautiously and a prospective evaluation is urgently needed.

Abstract
Objective In this review, we aim to collect and discuss available data about the role and composition of tumor microenvironment (TME) in oligometastatic (OMD) and oligoprogressive (OPD) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Furthermore, we aim to summarize the ongoing clinical trials evaluating as exploratory objective the TME composition, through tissue and/or blood samples, in order to clarify whether TME and its components could explain, at least partially, the oligometastatic/oligoprogressive process and could unravel the existence of predictive and/or prognostic factors for local ablative therapy (LAT). Background OMD/OPD NSCLC represent a heterogeneous group of diseases. Several data have shown that TME plays an important role in tumor progression and therefore in treatment response. The crucial role of several types of cells and molecules such as immune cells, cytokines, integrins, protease and adhesion molecules, tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been widely established. Due to the peculiar activation of specific pathways and expression of adhesion molecules, metastatic cells seem to show a tropism for specific anatomic sites (the so-called “seed and soil” hypothesis). Based on this theory, metastases appear as a biologically driven process rather than a random release of cancer cells. Although the role and the function of TME at the time of progression in patients with NSCLC treated with tyrosine-kinase inhibitors and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been investigated, limited data about the role and the biological meaning of TME are available in the specific OMD/OPD setting. Methods Through a comprehensive PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov search, we identified available and ongoing studies exploring the role of TME in oligometastatic/oligoprogressive NSCLC. Conclusions Deepening the knowledge on TME composition and function in OMD/OPD may provide innovative implications in terms of both prognosis and prediction of outcome in particular from local treatments, paving the way for future investigations of personalized approaches in both advanced and early disease settings.

Abstract
Patients with oligometastatic (OM) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have favorable outcomes compared to patients presenting with diffuse metastatic disease. Recent randomized trials have demonstrated safety and efficacy signals for local ablative therapies with radiotherapy, surgery, or radiofrequency ablation for OM-NSCLC patients alongside systemic therapies. However, it remains unclear whether local ablative therapy (LAT) should be offered either upfront preceding systemic therapies or following initial systemic therapies as local consolidative therapy (LCT). Establishing optimal timing of RT and systemic therapy combinations is essential to maximize efficacy while maintaining safety. Most published randomized trial evidence surrounding the benefits of LAT and systemic therapies were generated from OM-NSCLC patients receiving cytotoxic chemotherapy agents. With increasing use of novel agents such as targeted therapies (i.e., tyrosine kinase inhibitors) and immune checkpoint inhibitors in management of metastatic NSCLC patients, LAT timing may need to be modulated based on the use of specific agents. This narrative review will discuss the current evidence on either upfront LAT or LCT for OM-NSCLC based on published trials and cohort studies. We briefly explored the possible biological mechanisms of the potential clinical advantages of either approach. This review also summarized the ongoing trials incorporating both upfront LAT and LCT, and considerations for future LAT strategies.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this review, we aim to summarize the most recent data on the surgical management of oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). BACKGROUND Approximately 60-70% of all patients with NSCLC initially present with advanced stages of cancer at time of diagnosis. These patients are generally treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of these modalities. Patients with late-stage disease are usually not considered to be amenable for curative-intent treatments due to poor prognoses. Despite advances in systemic therapies, 5-year overall survival rates in these patients remain poor. However, technological advances in imaging modalities and new imaging strategies have substantially increased tumor detection rates and have resulted in a shift towards earlier diagnosis of NSCLC, possibly in stages in which metastatic disease is limited and still treatable. Studies in recent years have shown that there is a distinct group of patients with metastatic lesions at one or a few sites, often referred to as oligometastatic disease, that may have better survival outcomes compared to patients with more disseminated diseases. Furthermore, it is suggested that these patients may benefit from a combination of systemic treatment and local treatment aimed at the metastatic site(s). However, the role of surgery in this setting remains a controversial subject, with many unanswered questions. METHODS The PubMed/MEDLINE database and the Cochrane database were searched to find relevant articles regarding oligometastatic NSCLC. Specifically, articles regarding definitions of oligometastatic disease, oligometastatic tumor biology, diagnosis, and the treatment of oligometastatic disease were identified. CONCLUSIONS Oligometastatic NSCLC represents a wide spectrum of diseases and encompasses a heterogeneous patient population. Current data suggests that local ablative treatment of oligometastatic lesions with surgery or stereotactic body radiation therapy may result in improved overall survival and progression-free survival rates. However, more data from multi-center prospective trials are necessary to shed light on which therapeutic modalities are most suitable for the treatment of oligometastatic NSCLC. Integration of clinical and molecular staging data is necessary to allow for more personalized treatment approaches.

Abstract
Oligometastatic (OM) disease is defined by a low metastatic tumor spread. OM non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treatment aims to improve the patient's prognosis and quality of life, in an attempt-to-cure objective. Oncogenic-driven metastatic NSCLC accounts for about 20-25% of NSCLCs, with an ever-increasing number of potentially druggable molecular alterations. Due to specific targeted therapy, the care and prognosis of mutated NSCLC is quite different from non-oncogenic-driven NSCLC. However, OM-NSCLC treatment guidelines do not specifically discuss oncogenic-driven OM-NSCLC patients. We conducted a narrative review regarding retrospective and prospective studies published from inception to May 2020 dealing with oncogenic-driven OM-NSCLC in order to: (I) describe the specific patterns of metastatic spread of oncogenic-driven NSCLC (i.e., bone and pleural tropism in EGFR mutated NSCLC and serous and brain metastases in ALK NSCLC); (II) review the low level of current evidence for local ablative therapy (LAT) strategies in patients with oncogenic-driven OM-NSCLC, focusing on the benefit/risk of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) and LATs combination and (III) present strategies to help to select the best candidate for an attempt-to-cure approach. Finally, the optimal strategy may be to introduce a targeted therapy, then treat all tumor sites with LAT, and finally continue TKI for unknown prolonged duration in an attempt to prolong progression free survival in most patients, improve overall survival for some patients, and potentially lead to a cancer cure for a few patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Major progresses in the systemic treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) were obtained during the last decade, including the use of immunotherapy and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), with impressive results in terms of response and survival rates. Moreover, novel imaging and radiotherapy techniques have allowed the development of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), with high rates of local disease control and minimal toxicity. These factors propelled the use of combined systemic and local treatment strategies in patients with a low burden of metastases-the oligometastatic disease (OMD). METHODS We systematically review the evidence from prospective randomized and non-randomized trials on local ablative therapy for OMD NSCLC published until June 2020. In addition, we present a review of the ongoing and/or recruiting trials in the field. RESULTS We included 16 articles, reporting on 14 prospective clinical trials, starting from the pilot trial conducted in the early 2000's to the recent randomized trials that have showed benefits in survival. We found 24 ongoing trials, which combine multiple local ablative regimens with new systemic therapies, such as new generation TKIs and immunotherapy. DISCUSSION Despite these vast current and ongoing prospective research efforts, there are several issues that impair the generalizability of their findings. These include the heterogeneous definition of OMD, trial design, staging, patient selection, tumor mutational status and treatments used, which may limit their applicability in the clinical practice.

Abstract
Patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are considered as a subgroup of metastatic NSCLC that can obtain long-term survival or even cure. Oligometastatic refers to a state of a limited number of metastases in a limited number of organs. In clinical guidelines it is stated that patients with oligometastatic NSCLC can benefit from the addition of local radical therapy (LRT) to systemic therapy. With the introduction of minimally invasive surgery, advances in interventional radiology and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT), LRT is becoming feasible for more and more patients. Furthermore, the introduction of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) in the treatment landscape of advanced NSCLC has improved the survival of these patients. Importantly, the use of ICI in combination with LRT is also of interest in the subgroup of NSCLC patients with OMD. For example, it has been suggested that SRT may synergize with ICI as several preclinical studies reported an increased tumor antigen release, improved antigen presentation, and T-cell infiltration in irradiated tumors. In this narrative review, we describe the current evidence of immunotherapy treatment in OMD NSCLC, with a focus on future trial design and problems that need to be addressed.

Abstract
The oligometastatic disease concept suggests that patients with a limited number of metastases have a favorable prognosis. Radical local treatment of oligometastatic patients has then increased given developments in imaging (mainly positron emission tomography and brain magnetic resonance imaging) and access to effective and better tolerated treatments. Stereotactic radiotherapy has the advantage of being noninvasive, allowing a good rate of local control and a limited number of side effects. A better definition of oligometastatic disease, particularly for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), has recently been published. For patients with NSCLC, two randomized phase II trials also suggested that the addition of a radical local treatment results in encouraging survival data, with a good safety profile. A single-arm phase II finally showed a benefit when combining a radical local treatment with an anti-PD1 immunotherapy. This review describes the definitions of oligometastatic disease, the main prospective findings including radiation therapy, and prospects for oligometastatic NSCLC patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Surgical resection is widely employed as a potential curative treatment option for patients with limited lung metastases originating from a wide range of primary tumours. However, there are no clear national or international practice guidelines and, thereby, the risk for potential practice variation exists. This study aims to define the current practice for the surgical treatment of pulmonary metastases in the Netherlands by using data from the Dutch Lung Cancer Audit for Surgery (DLCA-S). METHODS Data from the DLCA-S were used to analyse patients undergoing a parenchymal lung resection for the treatment of pulmonary metastases between 2012 and 2017. Volume of metastasectomies per hospital was calculated as a proportion of the volume of primary lung cancer resection. Studied outcomes were overall complications and postoperative mortality and complicated course. For the latter, both the national average and between-hospital variation were calculated. RESULTS A total of 2090 patients, distributed over 45 Dutch hospitals, were included for analysis. The most common primary cancer was colorectal carcinoma (N = 1087, 52.0%) followed by the urogenital carcinoma (N = 296, 14.2%). The most common type of parenchymal resection was a wedge resection (N = 1477, 70.7%) followed by a lobectomy (N = 424, 20.3%). Resection was performed minimally invasively in 1548 patients (74.1%) with a conversion rate of 3.8%. Resection of a solitary metastasis was performed in 1663 patients (79.6%). In 40 patients (1.9%), 4 or more metastases were resected. A postoperative complicated course was noted in 3.6%, and the 30-day mortality rate was 0.7%. The variety between hospitals in the volume of metastasectomies in proportion to the volume of primary lung cancer resections was 3.4-41.5%. CONCLUSIONS This analysis of the DLCA-S registry provides a unique insight into current practice on pulmonary metastasectomies in the Netherlands over a 6-year period. The rate of postoperative adverse outcome was limited, and the morbidity and mortality were lower compared to primary lung cancer resections in the DLCA-S database.

Abstract
Simple Summary Lung cancer is the most common primary malignancy that tends to metastasize to the brain. Owing to improved survival of lung cancer patients, the prevalence of brain metastases is a matter of growing concern. Brain radiotherapy remains the mainstay in the management of metastatic CNS disease. However, new targeted therapies such as the tyrosine kinase or immune checkpoint inhibitors have demonstrated intracranial activity and promising tumor response rates. Here, we review the current and emerging therapeutical strategies for brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer, both brain-directed and systemic, as well as the uncertainties that may arise from their combination. Abstract Approximately 20% patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) present with CNS spread at the time of diagnosis and 25–50% are found to have brain metastases (BMs) during the course of the disease. The improvement in the diagnostic tools and screening, as well as the use of new systemic therapies have contributed to a more precise diagnosis and prolonged survival of lung cancer patients with more time for BMs development. In the past, most of the systemic therapies failed intracranially because of the inability to effectively cross the blood brain barrier. Some of the new targeted therapies, especially the group of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have shown durable CNS response. However, the use of ionizing radiation remains vital in the management of metastatic brain disease. Although a decrease in CNS-related deaths has been achieved over the past decade, many challenges arise from the need of multiple and repeated brain radiation treatments, which carry along not insignificant risks and toxicity. The combination of stereotactic radiotherapy and systemic treatments in terms of effectiveness and adverse effects, such as radionecrosis, remains a subject of ongoing investigation. This review discusses the challenges of the use of radiation therapy in NSCLC BMs in view of different systemic treatments such as chemotherapy, TKIs and immunotherapy. It also outlines the future perspectives and strategies for personalized BMs management.

Radiation for Oligometastatic Lung Cancer in the Era of Immunotherapy: What Do We (Need to) Know? Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13092132.

Abstract
Simple Summary The historical standard treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) consisted of palliative chemotherapy, with limited influence on survival. With the introduction of immuno- and targeted therapy, the prognosis improved largely. A subset of NSCLC patients with limited metastatic disease, called oligometastatic, might obtain long-term survival by adding a local ablative treatment on all visible disease sites, in addition to the standard systemic treatment. The evidence for this combined treatment is still scarce and comes mainly from the pre-immunotherapy era. As radiotherapy might stimulate the immune system making immunotherapy more efficient, here we review the evidence before and in the era of immunotherapy, and discuss the challenges and prospects of the combined treatment. Abstract Oligometastatic cancer is recognized as a separate entity within the spectrum of metastatic disease. It was suggested that patients with oligometastatic disease can obtain long-term survival by giving local ablative therapy (LAT) to all visible disease locations. However, the true extent from which metastatic cancer should be called “oligometastatic” is unknown, although a consensus definition for oligometastatic disease is proposed by research organizations, such as the EORTC (maximum of five metastases in three organs). Different states of the oligometastatic disease are defined, such as synchronous vs. metachronous, oligopersistent vs. oligoprogressive disease. All clinical trials including patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) are small and most are not randomized. Two small randomized phase II trials on synchronous disease showed an improvement in progression free survival, with the addition of LAT, and one also demonstrated an overall survival benefit. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) were not part of the treatment in these trials, while ICI significantly improved long-term outcomes of patients with metastatic NSCLC. Radiotherapy might improve the prognosis of patients treated with ICI because of its immunostimulatory effects and the possibility to eradicate metastatic deposits. Here, we summarize the data for adding ablative radiotherapy to the treatment of oligometastatic NSCLC, especially in the ICI era, and discuss the challenges of combined treatment.

Abstract
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for medically inoperable patients with early stage NSCLC. SBRT is a noninvasive treatment involving the delivery of ablative radiation doses with high precision in the course of a few treatments. Relative to conventionally fractionated radiation, SBRT achieves superior local control and survival. SBRT use has increased dramatically in the past 15 years and is currently considered the standard of care in cases of inoperable early stage NSCLC. It is being increasingly applied to more complex patient populations at higher risk of treatment-related toxicity. In these more complex patients, there is an increasing need to balance patient and treatment factors in selecting the optimal patients for SBRT. Here, we review several challenging clinical scenarios often encountered in thoracic multidisciplinary tumor boards.

Abstract
Since its conception by Pierre Denoix in the mid-20th century, the tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) classification has undergone seven revisions. The North American database managed by Clifton Mountain was used to inform the 2nd to the 6th editions, and an international database collected by the International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer, promoted by Peter Goldstraw, was used to inform the 7th and the 8th editions. In these two latest editions, it was evident that the impact of tumor size was much greater than it was suggested in previous editions; that the amount of nodal disease had prognostic relevance; and that the number and location of the distant metastases had prognostic implications. However, the TNM classification is not the only prognostic factor. Data are being collected now to inform the 9th edition of the TNM classification, scheduled for publication in 2024. Patient-, environment-, and tumor-related factors, including biomarkers (genetic biomarkers, copy number alterations, and protein alterations) are being collected to combine them in prognostic groups to enhance the prognosis provided by the mere anatomic extent of the tumor, and to offer a more personalized prognosis to an individual patient. International collaboration is essential to build a large and detailed database to achieve these objectives.

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.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Two-phase II randomised studies have shown a significant benefit of local consolidation therapy in oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This phase III randomised controlled trial (RCT) will evaluate the efficacy of local consolidation radiation therapy (RT) in oligometastases (OM) NSCLC after completion of initial systemic therapy. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This is a single-centre phase III RCT of OM NSCLC patients. One hundred and ninety patients will undergo 1:1 randomisation to either standard maintenance therapy (control arm) or local consolidation RT and standard maintenance therapy (experimental arm). Patients will be stratified into the number of OM sites (1-2 vs 3-5), nodal metastases (N0-N1 vs N2-N3) and presence or absence of brain metastases. Stereotactic body radiation therapy to all the oligometastatic sites and definitive RT to primary disease will be given in the experimental arm. The primary endpoint is overall survival and secondary endpoints include progression-free survival, local control of OM sites, new distant metastases free survival, objective response rate, toxicity and quality of life. Translation endpoint include circulating tumour cells and radiomics using texture analysis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION All patients will be provided with a written informed consent form which needs to be signed before randomisation. The study is approved by the institutional ethics committee-II (project number 3445) and registered with Clinical Trials Registry-India, dated 21 April 2020. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER CTRI/2020/04/024761; Pre-Results.

Assessment of extracranial metastatic disease in patients with brain metastases: How much effort is needed in the context of evolving survival prediction models? Radiother Oncol 2021; 159:17-20. [PMID: 33675870 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2021.02.038] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/18/2020] [Revised: 02/20/2021] [Accepted: 02/23/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Survival prediction models may serve as decision-support tools for clinicians who have to assign the right treatment to each patient, in a manner whereby harmful over- or undertreatment is avoided as much as possible. Current models differ regarding their components, the overall number of components and the weighting of individual components. Some of the components are easy to assess, such as age or primary tumor type. Others carry the risk of inter-assessor inconsistency and time-dependent variation. The present publication focuses on issues related to assessment of extracranial metastases and potential surrogates, e.g. blood biomarkers. It identifies areas of controversy and provides recommendations for future research projects, which may contribute to prognostic models with improved accuracy.

Abstract
The differential diagnosis of advanced lung cancer is difficult in clinical practice. Our study aims to compare the value of diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) with short-term inversion recovery sequence (STIR) for sagittal imaging in the differential diagnosis of lung cancer. 149 patients
with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) were enrolled and underwent DWI and STIR sagittal imaging. To quantify cancer types, we evaluated the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) value on DWI and the contrast ratio (CRs) on sagittal imaging. The ADC values of subclasses in NSCLC were significantly
higher than small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) (p <0.01). The mean CRs were 1.59 for SCLC and 1.30 for NSCLC with a significant difference (p < 0.01). Large cell carcinomas (LCC) and adenocarcinomas have significant differences compared to small cell carcinomas (SCC) without
difference between squamous cell carcinomas (p > 0.05); this is also the case for CRs. Squamous cell carcinoma and adenocarcinoma have significant differences compared to SCC without difference in LCC (p > 0.05). Qualitative evaluation of the feasible thresholds DWI and
STIR showed that the thresholds were 0.9810−3 mm2/s and 1.37 respectively. The specificity and accuracy was 78.5% is 85.3% for DWI, which was significantly higher than STIR (56.3% and 61.0%). The combination of DWI and STIR sequences was superior to DWI alone with
an accuracy rate of 94.3%. DWI is more helpful than STIR in differentiating SCLC and NSCLC, and their combined use can significantly improve diagnosis accuracy.

Abstract
Purpose The role of radiotherapy, in addition to chemotherapy, has not been thoroughly determined in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The purpose of the study was to investigate the prognostic factors and to establish a model for the prediction of overall survival (OS) in metastatic NSCLC patients who received chemotherapy combined with the radiation therapy to the primary tumor. Methods The study retrospectively reviewed 243 patients with metastatic NSCLC in two prospective studies. A prognostic model was established based on the results of the Cox regression analysis. Results Multivariate analysis showed that being male, Karnofsky Performance Status score < 80, the number of chemotherapy cycles <4, hemoglobin level ≤120 g/L, the count of neutrophils greater than 5.8 ×109/L, and the count of platelets greater than 220 ×109/L independently predicted worse OS. According to the number of risk factors, patients were further divided into one of three risk groups: those having ≤ 2 risk factors were scored as the low-risk group, those having 3 risk factors were scored as the moderate-risk group, and those having ≥ 4 risk factors were scored as the high-risk group. In the low-risk group, 1-year OS is 67.7%, 2-year OS is 32.1%, and 3-year OS is 19.3%; in the moderate-risk group, 1-year OS is 59.6%, 2-year OS is 18.0%, and 3-year OS is 7.9%; the corresponding OS rates for the high-risk group were 26.2%, 7.9%, and 0% (P<0.001) respectively. Conclusion Metastatic NSCLC patients treated with chemotherapy in combination with thoracic radiation may be classified as low-risk, moderate-risk, or high-risk group using six independent prognostic factors. This prognostic model may help design the study and develop the plans of individualized treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) have significantly improved the progression-free survival (PFS) of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with oncogene mutations of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) compared with systemic therapy alone. However, the majority eventually develop resistance with a median PFS of 8-12 months. The pattern of failure studies showed disease relapse at the original sites of the disease-harbouring resistant tumour cells. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This study is designed as a phase II randomised controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of local consolidative radiation therapy (LCRT) in addition to TKI in upfront oligometastatic NSCLC. Patients will be screened at presentation for oligometastases (≤5 sites) and will start on TKI after confirmation of EGFR or ALK mutation status. After initial TKI for 2-4 months, eligible patients will be randomised in a 1:1 ratio with stratification of oligometastatic sites (1-3 vs 4-5), performance status of 0-1 versus 2 and brain metastases. The standard arm will continue to receive TKI, and the intervention arm will receive TKI plus LCRT. Stereotactic body radiation therapy will be delivered to all the oligometastatic sites.The primary end point is PFS, and secondary end points are overall survival, local control of oligometastatic sites, toxicity and patient-reported outcomes. The sample size calculation took a median PFS of 10 months in the standard arm. To detect an absolute improvement of 7 months in the interventional arm, with a one-sided alpha of 5% and 80% power, a total of 106 patients will be accrued over a period of 48 months. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study is approved by the Institutional Ethics Committee II of Tata Memorial Centre, Mumbai, and registered with Clinical Trials Registry-India, CTRI/2019/11/021872, dated 5 November 2019. All eligible participants will be provided with a participant information sheet and will be required to provide written informed consent for participation in the study. The study results will be presented at a national/international conference and will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Oligometastatic Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patients represent a category without a standard therapeutic approach. However, in selected oligometastatic NSCLC, radical surgery seems to offer a good prognosis. This retrospective study aimed to analyse the long-term outcomes of synchronous oligometastatic patients treated with curative intent and identify the factors associated with better results and the proposal of a risk stratification system for classifying the synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC. METHODS The medical records of patients from 18 centres with pathologically diagnosed synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC were retrospectively reviewed. The inclusion criteria were synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC, radical surgical treatment of the primary tumour with or without neoadjuvant/adjuvant therapy and radical treatment of all metastatic sites. The Kaplan - Meier method estimated survivals. A stratified backward stepwise Cox regression model was assessed for multivariable survival analyses. RESULTS 281 patients were included. The most common site of metastasis was the brain, in 50.89 % patients. Median overall survival was 40 months (95 % CI: 29-53). Age ≤65 years (HR = 1.02, 95 % CI: 1.00-1.05; p = 0.019), single metastasis (HR = 0.71, 95 % CI: 0.45-1.13; p = 0.15) and presence of contralateral lung metastases (HR = 0.30, 95 % CI: 0.15 - 0.62; p = 0.001) were associated with a good prognosis. The presence of pathological N2 metastases negatively affected survival (HR = 2.00, 95 % CI: 1.21-3.32; p = 0.0065). These prognostic factors were used to build a simple risk classification scheme. CONCLUSIONS Treatment of selected synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC with curative purpose could be conducted safely and at acceptable 5-year survival levels, especially in younger patients with pN0 disease.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately one in five cancer-related deaths, and management requires increasingly complex decision making by health care professionals. Many centers have therefore adopted a multidisciplinary approach to patient care, using the expertise of various specialists to provide the best evidence-based, personalized treatment. However, increasingly complex disease staging, as well as expanded biomarker testing and multimodality management algorithms with novel therapeutics, have driven the need for multifaceted, collaborative decision making to optimally guide the overall treatment process. To keep up with the rapidly evolving treatment landscape, national-level guidelines have been introduced to standardize patient pathways and ensure prompt diagnosis and treatment. Such strategies depend on efficient and effective communication between relevant multidisciplinary team members and have both improved adherence to treatment guidelines and extended patient survival. This article highlights the value of a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and staging, treatment decision making, and adverse event management in NSCLC. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: This review highlights the value of a multidisciplinary approach to the diagnosis and staging of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and makes practical suggestions as to how multidisciplinary teams (MDTs) can be best deployed at individual stages of the disease to improve patient outcomes and effectively manage common adverse events. The authors discuss how a collaborative approach, appropriately leveraging the diverse expertise of NSCLC MDT members (including specialist radiation and medical oncologists, chest physicians, pathologists, pulmonologists, surgeons, and nursing staff) can continue to ensure optimal per-patient decision making as treatment options become ever more specialized in the era of biomarker-driven therapeutic strategies.

Abstract
Radiotherapy, along with other loco-regional interventions, is conventionally utilized as a palliative approach to alleviate symptoms and mitigate oncological emergencies in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Thanks to the ongoing improvement of medical treatments in the last decade, such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy, the survival of patients with advanced NSCLC has been considerably prolonged, making it feasible and clinically beneficial for radiotherapy to play a more active role in highly selected subpopulations. In this review, we will focus on the evolving roles of radiotherapy in advanced NSCLC. First of all, among patients who are initially unable to tolerate aggressive treatment due to severe symptoms caused by metastases and/or tumor emergencies, timely radiotherapy could significantly improve their performance status (PS) and general condition, thus giving them a chance for intensive treatment and prolonged survival. The efficacy, potential candidates, and optimal dose-fractionation regimens of radiotherapy in this clinical scenario will be discussed. Additionally, radiotherapy can play a curative role as a concurrent therapy, consolidation therapy, and salvage therapy for patients with oligo-metastatic, oligo-residual, and oligo-progressive disease, respectively. Accumulating evidence from recent clinical trials, basic research, and translational investigations regarding the potentially curative roles of radiotherapy in NSCLC patients with oligo-metastatic disease will be summarized. Moreover, with the advent of various small molecular tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), the treatment efficacy and overall survival of oncogene-addicted NSCLC with brain metastases have been significantly improved, and the clinical value and optimal timing of cranial radiotherapy have become topics of much debate. Finally, synergistic antitumor interactions between radiotherapy and immunotherapy have been repeatedly demonstrated. Thus, the immune sensitizing role of radiotherapy in advanced NSCLC is also highlighted in this review.

Survival Impact of Aggressive Treatment and PD-L1 Expression in Oligometastatic NSCLC. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2021; 28:593-605. [PMID: 33498159 PMCID: PMC7924378 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol28010059] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2020] [Accepted: 11/03/2020] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
Background: Studies have shown that aggressive treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with oligometastatic disease improves the overall survival (OS) compared to a palliative approach and some immunotherapy checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1), anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1), and T-Lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) inhibitors are now part of the standard of care for advanced NSCLC. However, the prognostic impact of PD-L1 expression in the oligometastatic setting remains unknown. Methods: Patients with oligometastatic NSCLC were identified from the patient database of the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM). “Oligometastatic disease” definition chosen is one synchronous metastasis based on the M1b staging of the eight IASLC (The International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer) Classification (within sixth months of diagnosis) or up to three cerebral metastasis based on the methodology of the previous major phase II randomized study of Gomez et al. We compared the OS between patients receiving aggressive treatment at both metastatic and primary sites (Group A) and patients receiving non-aggressive treatment (Group B). Subgroup analysis was performed using tumor PD-L1 expression. Results: Among 643 metastatic NSCLC patients, we identified 67 patients with oligometastasis (10%). Median follow-up was 13.3 months. Twenty-nine patients (43%) received radical treatment at metastatic and primary sites (Group A), and 38 patients (57%) received non-aggressive treatment (Group B). The median OS (mOS) of Group A was significantly longer than for Group B (26 months vs. 5 months, p = 0.0001). Median progression-free survival (mPFS) of Group A was superior than Group B (17.5 months vs. 3.4 months, p = 0.0001). This difference was still significant when controlled for primary tumor staging: stage I (p = 0.316), stage II (p = 0.024), and stage III (p = 0.001). In the cohort of patients who were not treated with PD-L1 inhibitors, PD-L1 expression negatively correlated with mOS. Conclusions: Aggressive treatments of oligometastatic NSCLC significantly improve mOS and mPFS compared to a more palliative approach. PD-L1 expression is a negative prognostic factor which suggests a possible role for immunotherapy in this setting.

Consolidative stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) to intrapulmonary lesions is associated with prolonged progression-free survival and overall survival in oligometastatic NSCLC patients: A prospective phase 2 study. Lung Cancer 2020; 152:119-126. [PMID: 33385737 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2020.12.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2020] [Revised: 12/14/2020] [Accepted: 12/23/2020] [Indexed: 02/09/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) has shown high rates of local control and prolonged survival in early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), though its role in oligometastatic disease is undefined. This study aimed to evaluate SABR as a local consolidative therapy (LCT) in oligometastatic NSCLC patients. METHODS In this prospective, single-arm phase 2 trial, we sought to evaluate SABR in patients with stage IV NSCLC, with ≤ five lesions, including the primary tumor. Patients received initial systemic therapy according to international guidelines. Patients without progression after front-line therapy (two months of targeted therapy and ≥ four cycles of chemotherapy) were evaluated by an 18F-FDG-PET/CT to receive consolidative SABR (45-60 Gy in 3-5 fractions) to the primary and all intrapulmonary metastatic sites. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS); secondary endpoints were overall survival (OS) and toxicity. RESULTS A total of 47 patients were included. Mean age was 58.9 years, 59.6 % were female, 87.2 % had adenocarcinoma histology, and the contralateral lung was the main site of metastases in 42.6 %. All patients received systemic front-line therapy, chemotherapy in 61.7 %, and a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) in 38.3 %. Disease control rate (DCR) and complete metabolic response (CMR) to SABR were 93.6 % and 70.2 %. Median PFS was 34.3 months (95 %CI; 31.1-38.8) for the total cohort; patients with a CMR had a median PFS of 53.9 monthsvs.31.9 months in those without CMR (p = 0.011). Median OS was not reached.Grade 1, 2, and 3 pneumonitis were observed in 79.5 % (31/39), 12.8 % (5/39) and 7.7 % (3/39), respectively. No grade ≥4 toxicities were observed. CONCLUSION The use of SABR as LCT in oligometastatic NSCLC patients was well tolerated and showed favorable results regarding PFS and OS compared with historical data. The benefit was significantly higher in patients who reached a CMR as assessed by 18F-FDG-PET/CT.

Abstract
The European Organization for Research on Treatment of Cancer Research published a consensus statement to establish the key criteria to define oligometastatic disease (OMD). According to those criteria, all lesions (both primary and metastatic) should be amenable to radical intent treatment with acceptable toxicity. Several retrospective studies have shown that adding local ablative therapy to the treatment of OMD improves outcomes; however, due to the diverse selection criteria and treatment strategies used in those studies, it is difficult to compare directly results to draw definitive conclusions. In recent years, prospective phase II trials, such as the SABR-COMET and "Oligomez" trials, have shown that stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) improves outcomes in patients with OMD. More recently, interim results of the randomised phase 3 SINDAS trial were reported at the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology 2020 demonstrating that upfront SBRT added to systemic treatment with tyrosine kinase inhibitors yielded a significant benefit in both progression-free survival and overall survival in patients with epidermal growth factor receptor-mutant oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer. In the present editorial, we review the definition and historical context of advanced non-small cell lung cancer with OMD. In addition, we review the scientific evidence for local ablative therapy and SBRT and discuss the results of recently published prospective studies. We also discuss in depth the results of the SINDAS study, including the strengths and weaknesses of the study and the barriers to extrapolating these results to routine clinical practice.

Abstract
Up to 70% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients develop central nervous system (CNS) metastases during the course of their disease, especially those with oncogenic drivers treated with a first-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), because of the relatively poor CNS penetration. CNS metastases are associated with a negative impact on quality of life and survival. As, with the introduction of newer generation TKIs, the survival rates are increasing in this particular population, treatment and/or prevention of CNS metastases becomes even more relevant and the TKI with the best CNS efficacy should be selected. Unfortunately, CNS efficacy data in clinical trials are not fully comparable. Furthermore, oligoprogression to the brain without extracranial progression regularly occurs in the oncogenic driver population and both local therapy and switch of systemic therapy are possible treatment options. However, the best order of systemic and local therapy is still not precisely known. In this narrative review, we will summarize incidence and treatment of CNS metastases in oncogene driven NSCLC, including the optimal treatment of CNS oligometastatic disease (synchronous as well as oligoprogressive).

Abstract
Despite the importance of accurate disease definitions for effective management and treatment decisions, there is currently no consensus on what constitutes oligometastatic non–small‐cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Predominant patterns of initial progressive disease (PD) after first‐line systemic therapy have been shown to be a substantial basis for local ablative therapy (LAT) for all disease sites in patients with oligometastatic NSCLC, suggesting that these patterns could be helpful in defining synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC. Therefore, this retrospective study aimed to propose a threshold number of metastases for synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC, based on the pattern of initial PD after first‐line systemic therapy. The cut‐off threshold number of metastases compatible with synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC was determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses of PD at the initially involved sites alone. ROC analysis of 175 patients revealed that the presence of 1‐3 metastases before first‐line treatment (sensitivity, 85.9%; specificity, 97.3%; area under the curve, 0.91) was compatible with oligometastatic NSCLC, therefore we divided patients into oligometastatic NSCLC and non‐oligometastatic NSCLC groups. Multivariate logistic regression analyses revealed oligometastatic NSCLC to be the only independent predictor of PD at initially involved sites alone (odds ratio 165.7; P < .001). The median survival times in patients with oligometastatic or non‐oligometastatic NSCLC were 23.0 and 10.9 mo (hazard ratio, 0.51; P = .002), respectively. Based on these findings, we propose synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC as 1‐3 metastases in accordance with patterns of initial progression. The result of our study might be contributory to provide a common definition of synchronous oligometastatic NSCLC.

Abstract
AIMS At diagnosis, <1% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have synchronous solitary brain metastasis (SSBM). In prior cohorts without 18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) staging, definitive treatment to intracranial and intrathoracic disease showed a 5-year overall survival (OS) of 11-21%. We investigated the long-term survival outcomes for patients with SSBM NSCLC, diagnosed in the FDG-PET/CT era and treated definitively with local therapies to both intracranial and intrathoracic sites of disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study assessed patients staged with FDG-PET/CT who received definitive lung and SSBM treatment from February 1999 to December 2017. A lung-molecular graded prognostic assessment (lung-molGPA) score was assigned for each patient using age, performance status score, and, where carried out, molecular status. Overall survival and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Cox proportional hazard models determined OS and PFS prognostic factors. RESULTS Forty-nine patients newly diagnosed with NSCLC and SSBM had a median age of 63 years (range 34-76). The median follow-up of all patients was 3.9 years. Thirty-three patients (67%) had ≥T2 disease, 23 (47%) had ≥N2. At 2 years, 45% of first failures were intracranial only (95% confidence interval 30-59). At 3 and 5 years, OS was 45% (95% confidence interval 32-63) and 30% (95% confidence interval 18-51), respectively. In ≥N1 disease, 5-year OS was 34% (95% confidence interval 18-63). The 3- and 5-year PFS was 8% (95% confidence interval 3-22) and 0%, respectively. Higher lung-molGPA was associated with longer OS (hazard ratio 0.26, 95% confidence interval 0.11-0.61, P = 0.002). Higher lung-molGPA (hazard ratio 0.33, 95% confidence interval 0.15-0.71, P = 0.005) and lower N-stage (hazard ratio 1.56, 95% confidence interval 1.13-2.15, P = 0.007) were associated with longer PFS. CONCLUSIONS Definitive treatment of patients with NSCLC and SSBM staged with FDG-PET/CT can result in 5-year survivors, including those with ≥N1 disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for oligometastatic gynecologic malignancies. METHOD A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Medline, and EMBASE databases was conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. "Oligometastatic" was defined as a limited number of uncontrolled/untreated metastatic lesions (typically ≤ 5), including regional nodal metastases. Primary outcomes were response rate (complete response or partial response), local control of oligometastatic lesions, and toxicity. RESULTS Of 716 screened records, 17 studies (13 full length articles, 4 conference abstracts) were selected and analyzed as 16 unique studies. A total of 667 patients were treated with ~1071 metastatic lesions identified. Primary sites included ovarian (57.6%), cervical (27.1%), uterine (11.1%), vaginal (0.4%), vulvar (0.3%), and other/unspecified (3.4%). Most patients (65.4%) presented with a single metastatic lesion. Metastatic lesion sites included the abdomen (44.2%), pelvis (18.8%), thorax (15.5%), neck (4.6%), central nervous system (4.3%), bone (1.6%), and other/unspecified (11%). Of the lesions, 64% were nodal. Response rate (among 8 studies) ranged from 49% to 97%, with 7/8 studies reporting > 75% response rate. Local control ranged from 71% to 100%, with 14/16 studies reporting ≥ 80% local control. No grade ≥ 3 toxicities were observed in 9/16 (56%) studies. Median progression-free survival (PFS) (among 10 studies) ranged from 3.3 months to 21.7 months. Disease progression most commonly occurred outside of the SBRT radiation field (79% to 100% of failures). CONCLUSIONS SBRT for oligometastatic gynecologic malignancies is associated with favorable response and local control rates but a high rate of out-of-field progression and heterogeneous PFS. Additional study into rational combinations of SBRT and systemic therapy appears warranted to further improve patient outcomes.

Abstract
Background Successful local therapy for oligometastases may lead to longer survival. The purpose of this multicentre retrospective study was to investigate factors affecting the local control (LC) of pulmonary oligometastases treated by stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and to investigate the impact of LC on survival. Methods The inclusion criteria included 1 to 5 metastases, the primary lesion and other extrathoracic metastases were controlled before SBRT, and the biological effective dose (BED10) of the SBRT was 75 Gy or more. The Cox proportional hazards model was used for analyses. Results Data of 1378 patients with 1547 tumours from 68 institutions were analysed. The median follow-up period was 24.2 months. The one-year, 3-year and 5-year LC rates were 92.1, 81.3 and 78.6%, respectively, and the 1-year, 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates were 90.1, 60.3 and 45.5%, respectively. Multivariate analysis for LC showed that increased maximum tumour diameter (p = 0.011), type A dose calculation algorithm (p = 0.005), shorter overall treatment time of SBRT (p = 0.035) and colorectal primary origin (p < 0.001 excluding oesophagus origin) were significantly associated with a lower LC rate. In the survival analysis, local failure (p < 0.001), worse performance status (1 vs. 0, p = 0.013; 2–3 vs. 0, p < 0.001), oesophageal primary origin (vs. colorectal origin, p = 0.038), squamous cell carcinoma (vs. adenocarcinoma, p = 0.006) and increased maximum tumour diameter (p < 0.001) showed significant relationships with shorter survival. Conclusions Several factors of oligometastases and SBRT affected LC. LC of pulmonary oligometastases by SBRT showed a significant survival benefit compared to patients with local failure.

The value of local consolidative therapy in Osimertinib-treated non-small cell lung cancer with oligo-residual disease. Radiat Oncol 2020; 15:207. [PMID: 32854745 PMCID: PMC7457298 DOI: 10.1186/s13014-020-01651-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/08/2020] [Accepted: 08/20/2020] [Indexed: 02/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There was no study investigating real-world utilization and outcome of LCT in Osimertinib-treated NSCLC with oligo-residual disease. This study was to analyze the clinical value of local consolidative therapy (LCT) in Osimertinib-treated non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with oligo-residual disease. METHODS Patients receiving standard Osimertinib treatment and developing oligo-residual disease (five or fewer residual metastatic lesions) were retrospectively reviewed. Local therapies performed to the oligo-residual tumor lesions or primary lung site before Osimertinib treatment failure were considered as LCT. RESULTS Of 108 patients recruited, first-line and second-line Osimertinib were administered in 25 and 83 patients, respectively, while LCT was performed in 14 patients. With a median follow-up of 43.6 months, 69 patients developed progressive disease. LCT significantly improved progression-free survival (PFS) (NR vs 12.8 months, p = 0.01) and was independently associated with prolonged PFS (HR = 0.29, 95%CI 0.12 to 0.68, p = 0.004). Patients receiving LCT had a numerically longer overall survival (OS) (85.8 vs 77.1 months, p = 0.58) and after adjusting for potentially confounding factors, LCT was associated with a non-significantly prolonged OS (HR = 0.37, 95%CI 0.12-1.16, p = 0.089). Pattern of failure analyses indicated that progressive disease developed at the originally existed oligo-residual lesions in 76.2% of the 63 patients who didn't receive LCT and had Osimertinib treatment failure. Of note, 7 (70%) of the 10 patients who had oligo-residual cranial disease but didn't receive LCT, developed more than five progressive lesions in the brain, which were no longer suitable for stereotactic radiosurgery. CONCLUSION Among Osimertinib-treated NSCLC patients having oligo-residual lesions, LCT could improve local control and significantly increase PFS, which need to be verified by further investigations.

Prognostic factors for patients with metastatic or recurrent thymic carcinoma receiving palliative-intent chemotherapy. Lung Cancer 2020; 148:122-128.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Thymic malignancies are a model of rare cancer. However, little clinical data is available based on the large database. We aimed to clarify the prognostic factors, particularly the metastatic sites, for thymic malignancies using one of the largest, representative, multi-institutional databases, the NEJ023 database. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with Stage IVA/IVB or recurrent thymic carcinoma were enrolled between 1995 and 2014. Clinicopathologic information was evaluated, and the patients were subdivided according to the metastatic organs of involvement (serosal dissemination, liver, lymph node, pulmonary, and bone metastasis). A Kaplan-Meier analysis and multivariate Cox regression were used to evaluate survival. RESULTS Two hundred and seventy-nine patients with metastases and a predominantly squamous histology (66.7%) were included. Most patients (53.0%) had serosal dissemination, whereas 26.5%, 21.9%, 19.7%, and 15.8% had pulmonary, lymph node, bone and liver metastases, respectively. Over a median follow-up time of 21.5 months, the median overall survival (mOS) was 30.7 months. When the subjects were grouped according to involved metastatic sites, patients with more than 3 involved metastatic organs had the worst survival outcome. Among patients with isolated involvement, those with bone metastasis had the poorest survival, followed by patients with liver metastasis. Subjects with hypoalbuminemia also had poor survival outcomes. When patients treated with platinum and anthracycline-containing pharmacotherapy were compared with those treated with platinum and non-anthracycline-containing pharmacotherapy, no significant difference was observed. Bone metastasis (P = 0.0005), liver metastasis (P = 0.047), and hypoalbuminemia (P = 0.0021) were identified as prognostic factors in a multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION The site of metastatic involvement affects the survival outcomes of patients with thymic carcinoma, and this result may reflect the sensitivity of metastatic sites to pharmacotherapy. As a next step, controlling liver metastasis with pharmacotherapy could help to improve the prognosis of patients with thymic carcinoma.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer mortality globally. A vast majority of lung cancer cases are diagnosed at advanced stages. Management of advanced lung cancer requires several diagnostic and therapeutic procedures provided by various specialists. To optimise the entire diagnostic and therapeutic process, a concept of care provided simultaneously by a multidisciplinary team (MDT) has been developed and implemented in specialised centres worldwide. Observational studies suggest that integrated and coordinated care increases adherence to clinical guidelines, significantly shortens the interval from diagnosis to treatment, and may increase survival and quality of life (QoL). Prospective studies are warranted to assess the real impact of MDT on treatment outcomes and to further refine this approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Systemic treatment is standard for most types of cancer with disseminated metastases. The role of local treatment (LT) of individual tumor foci in patients with oligometastatic disease is unclear and the object of current scientific studies. METHODS This review is based on pertinent publications retrieved by a selective search in PubMed. RESULTS Four randomized trials have shown that radical local treatment confers an advantage with respect to overall survival (OS), compared to systemic treatment alone, in patients with oligometastatic disease. In patients with synchronous metastases and a stable primary tumor, LT prolongs the median overall survival by approximately two years. A single randomized trial for oligometastatic small-cell lung cancer did not show any prolongation of overall survival. Local treatment increased the frequency of grade III side effects by approximately 10%. CONCLUSION Although local treatment already has a place in many guidelines on the basis of the findings of a small number of prospective and retrospective studies, a option of local treatment should be considered by an interdisciplinary tumor board individually for suitable patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND About 50% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients have metastatic disease at initial diagnosis, which limits their treatment options and, consequently, the 5-year survival rate (15%). Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI), either alone or in combination with chemotherapy, have become standard of care (SOC) for most good performance status patients. However, most patients will not obtain long-term benefit and new treatment strategies are therefore needed. We previously demonstrated clinical safety of the tumour-selective immunocytokine L19-IL2, consisting of the anti-ED-B scFv L19 antibody coupled to IL2, combined with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). METHODS This investigator-initiated, multicentric, randomised controlled open-label phase II clinical trial will test the hypothesis that the combination of SABR and L19-IL2 increases progression free survival (PFS) in patients with limited metastatic NSCLC. One hundred twenty-six patients will be stratified according to their metastatic load (oligo-metastatic: ≤5 or poly-metastatic: 6 to 10) and randomised to the experimental-arm (E-arm) or the control-arm (C-arm). The C-arm will receive SOC, according to the local protocol. E-arm oligo-metastatic patients will receive SABR to all lesions followed by L19-IL2 therapy; radiotherapy for poly-metastatic patients consists of irradiation of one (symptomatic) to a maximum of 5 lesions (including ICI in both arms if this is the SOC). The accrual period will be 2.5-years, starting after the first centre is initiated and active. Primary endpoint is PFS at 1.5-years based on blinded radiological review, and secondary endpoints are overall survival, toxicity, quality of life and abscopal response. Associative biomarker studies, immune monitoring, CT-based radiomics, stool collection, iRECIST and tumour growth rate will be performed. DISCUSSION The combination of SABR with or without ICI and the immunocytokine L19-IL2 will be tested as 1st, 2nd or 3rd line treatment in stage IV NSCLC patients in 14 centres located in 6 countries. This bimodal and trimodal treatment approach is based on the direct cytotoxic effect of radiotherapy, the tumour selective immunocytokine L19-IL2, the abscopal effect observed distant from the irradiated metastatic site(s) and the memory effect. The first results are expected end 2023. TRIAL REGISTRATION ImmunoSABR Protocol Code: NL67629.068.18; EudraCT: 2018-002583-11; Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT03705403; ISRCTN ID: ISRCTN49817477; Date of registration: 03-April-2019.

Abstract
Radiotherapy is an important modality used for the treatment of lung cancer. Seventy-seven percent of all patients with lung cancer have an evidence-based indication for radiotherapy, although it is often underutilized. Radiotherapy can be used as curative or palliative treatment across all stages of disease. Technological advances have allowed better radiotherapy targeting of tumours and reduced incidental irradiation of surrounding normal tissues. This has expanded the indications for radiotherapy in lung cancer and improved outcomes both in terms of increasing survival and reducing toxicity. This review examines the current role of radiotherapy in lung cancer, discusses the evidence behind this and identifies future directions in the radiotherapy treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer with very limited extent of metastatic spread commonly is termed, oligometastatic disease (OMD), and typically described as no more than 3 to 5 lesions. Definitive local therapy potentially leads to significant improvement in progression-free survival and overall survival. OMD may occur de novo prior to initiation of systemic therapy or as an induced state after initiation of systemic therapy. Although prospective data are limited to small trials, they have consistently supported local therapy as an appropriate consideration if not a clear standard of care for well-selected patients. Several trials in OMD are ongoing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To eliminate them, non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) care and outcome disparities need to be better understood. RESEARCH QUESTION How does rurality interact with NSCLC care and outcome disparities? STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS We examined guideline-concordant use of active treatment for NSCLC across five institutions in one community-based health care system spanning 44% of the Delta Regional Authority catchment area from 2011 to 2017. Institution- and patient-level rurality were based on Rural-Urban Commuting Area codes. Chi-squared, F-tests, and logistic regressions were used to analyze differences across institutions and rurality; survival was examined using log-rank tests and Cox regression. RESULTS Of 6,259 patients, 47% resided in rural areas; two of five institutions were rurally located and provided care for 20% of patients. Compared with rural residents at rural institutions, urban and rural residents attending urban institutions were more likely to receive stage-preferred treatment: OR 1.68 (95%CI, 1.44-1.96), and 1.33 (1.11-1.61), respectively, after adjusting for insurance, age, and clinical stage. Urban and rural residents attending urban institutions had a lower hazard of death compared with rural residents attending rural institutions: hazard ratio (HR) 0.69 (0.64-0.75) and 0.61 (0.55-0.67), respectively. Among recipients of stage-preferred treatment, care at urban institutions remained less hazardous: HR 0.7 (0.63-0.79). When further stratified by stage, care for late-stage patients at urban institutions remained less hazardous: HR 0.8 (0.71-0.91). INTERPRETATION Rurality-associated treatment and survival disparities were present at the patient and institution levels, but the institution-level disparity was greater. Rural residents receiving care at urban institutions had similar outcomes to urban residents receiving care at urban hospitals. To overcome rurality-associated NSCLC survival disparity, interventions should preferentially target the institution level, including expanding access to higher-quality guideline-concordant care.
