Retrospective Analysis of Efficacy and Toxicity of Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy and Surgical Resection of Adrenal Metastases from Solid Tumors. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:2655. [PMID: 39123383 PMCID: PMC11311624 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16152655] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND This single-center retrospective study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity profiles of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and surgical resection in patients with adrenal metastases originating from solid tumors. METHODS/MATERIALS Patients with advanced tumor conditions or comorbidities typically received SBRT, whereas those considered physically fit underwent standard surgical treatment. Endpoints included local control (LC), progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and complication rates (CR). RESULTS 41 patients with 48 adrenal metastases were included, with 27 (65.9%) patients receiving SBRT and 14 (34.1%) patients undergoing adrenalectomy. One- and two-year LC values were 100% for both periods after adrenalectomy, and 70.0% and 52.5% after SBRT (p = 0.001). PFS showed values of 40.2% and 32.1% at one and two years after adrenalectomy and of 10.6% for both periods after SBRT (p = 0.223). OS was 83.3% both one and two years after surgery and 67.0% and 40.2% after SBRT (p = 0.031). There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups regarding acute complications (p = 0.123). CONCLUSION Despite potential confounders, adrenalectomy exhibited statistically significant superior LC and OS compared to SBRT in managing adrenal metastases, while both treatment methods displayed acceptable toxicity profiles. However, patient selection bias must be taken into account when directly comparing the two therapy modalities. Nevertheless, the study provides new and important results for the scientific and medical communities regarding oncological outcomes after SBRT or surgical resection of adrenal metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary adrenal tumors (SATs) are uncommon, and the benefits of adrenalectomy for SATs have not been well-established. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the survival benefits of adrenalectomy for SATs. METHOD ology: A systematic literature search was performed (1990-2022). The inclusion criteria included a known primary tumor with confirmed adrenal metastasis in patients who underwent adrenalectomy. The primary outcome was the overall survival (OS). RESULTS A total of 26 studies were included, with 2279 patients. The average age at the time of diagnosis was 61.1 years. Lung cancer was the most common primary tumor. The average time from primary tumor diagnosis to identification of adrenal metastasis was 17 months. The median OS was 35.2 months. One, three, and five-year OS were 79.7 %, 49.1 %, and 37.9 %, respectively. CONCLUSION The results of this review provide insight into the long-term survival of patients with SATs who underwent adrenalectomy. The study highlights the need for further research to identify the risk factors that play a role in the outcome of adrenalectomy in patients with SATs.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze surgical outcomes and predictive factors for long-term overall and disease-specific survival in patients undergoing surgical resection of adrenal metastasis. METHODS A multicenter retrospective study included patients who underwent adrenalectomy for adrenal metastasis in two Spanish hospitals between 2005 and 2021. Clinical variables associated with surgical complications and survival during follow-up were analyzed. RESULTS Thirty-three patients were included. Adrenalectomy was performed laparoscopically in 27 patients and by an open approach in 6. The most common primary tumor site was the lung (n=15), followed by the kidney (n=7). Most patients had metachronous lesions (n=28). Six patients (18.2%) had intra- and/or postoperative complications; synchronous metastasis was a risk factor (odds ratio 12.5 [1.45-107.6]) for their development. Progression-free survival and disease-specific survival were 7.5months (range 1-64) and 22.5months (6-120), respectively. Survival rates at 1, 2, 3 and 5years were 94%, 65%, 48% and 29%, respectively. Survival was significantly lower in patients with lung cancer than with other cancers (hazard ratio 4.23 [1.42-12.59]). CONCLUSIONS Adrenalectomy for solitary adrenal metastases was associated with intra- or postoperative complications in 18% of cases. Synchronous metastasis was a risk factor for complications.

Abstract
Adrenal metastasectomy has an increasing role in multimodality oncologic care for diverse primary cancer types. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology, evaluation, and contemporary best practices in the management of adrenal metastases from various primaries. Initial evaluation of suspected adrenal metastases should include diagnostic imaging to assess the extent of tumor involvement and determine surgical resectability, as well as biochemical evaluation for hormone secretion. Biopsy has a minimal role and should only be performed in tumors that are established to be non-hormone secreting and when the biopsy results would change clinical management. Adrenal metastasectomy is associated with survival benefit in selected patients. We suggest that adrenal metastasectomy has the greatest benefit in four clinical scenarios: (1) disease limited to the adrenal gland in which adrenalectomy renders the patient disease-free; (2) isolated progression in the adrenal gland in the setting of otherwise controlled metastatic extra-adrenal disease; (3) need for palliation of symptoms related to adrenal metastases; or (4) in the context of tissue-based clinical trials. Both minimally invasive and open adrenalectomy techniques are safe and appear to have equivalent oncologic outcomes. Minimally invasive approaches are favored when technically feasible while maintaining oncologic principles. A multidisciplinary evaluation including clinicians with expertise in the primary cancer type is essential to the successful management of adrenal metastases.

Laparoscopic adrenalectomy for adrenal metastases of solid tumors. Surg Endosc 2023:10.1007/s00464-023-09961-4.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In patients with history of cancer adrenal metastases can be found in up to 70% of adrenal tumors detected during follow-up. Currently, laparoscopic adrenalectomy (LA) is considered the gold standard approach for benign adrenal tumors but is still controversial in malignant disease. Depending on the patient's oncological status, adrenalectomy might be a possible treatment option. Our objective was to analyze the results of LA for adrenal metastasis from solid tumors in two referral centers. METHODS Retrospective analysis of 17 patients with non-primary adrenal malignancy treated with LA between 2007 and 2019 was performed. Demographic and primary tumor data, type of metastasis, morbidity, disease recurrence and evolution were evaluated. Patients were compared according to type of metastases: synchronous (< 6 months) vs metachronous (≥ 6 months). RESULTS 17 patients were included. Median metastatic adrenal tumor size was 4 cm (IQR, 3-5.4). We had one conversion to open surgery. Recurrence was found in 6 patients with one recurring in the adrenal bed. The median OS was 24 (IQR, 10.5-60.5) months and 5-year OS was 61.4% (95%CI: 36.7%-81.4%). Patients with metachronous metastases had better overall survival vs. patients with synchronous metastases (87% vs. 14%, p = 0.0037). CONCLUSION LA for adrenal metastases is a procedure associated with low morbidity and acceptable oncologic outcomes. Based on our results, seems reasonable to offer this procedure to carefully selected patients, mainly those with metachronous presentation. Indication of LA must be done on a case by case evaluation in the context of a multidisciplinary tumor board.

Abstract
Lung cancer is the primary reason of cancer deaths worldwide, and the percentage of death rate is increasing step by step. There are chances of recovering from lung cancer by detecting it early. In any case, because the number of radiologists is limited and they have been working overtime, the increase in image data makes it hard for them to evaluate the images accurately. As a result, many researchers have come up with automated ways to predict the growth of cancer cells using medical imaging methods in a quick and accurate way. Previously, a lot of work was done on computer-aided detection (CADe) and computer-aided diagnosis (CADx) in computed tomography (CT) scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and X-ray with the goal of effective detection and segmentation of pulmonary nodule, as well as classifying nodules as malignant or benign. But still, no complete comprehensive review that includes all aspects of lung cancer has been done. In this paper, every aspect of lung cancer is discussed in detail, including datasets, image preprocessing, segmentation methods, optimal feature extraction and selection methods, evaluation measurement matrices, and classifiers. Finally, the study looks into several lung cancer-related issues with possible solutions.

Abstract
Introduction The prognosis of adrenal metastasis from non‐small cell lung cancer is very poor. A recent report described the efficacy of the surgical removal of adrenal metastasis when solitary. However, metachronous bilateral adrenal metastasis is extremely rare, and a treatment strategy has not been established. Case presentation Herein, we describe a 52‐year‐old Asian male who presented with a right adrenal metastasis of non‐small cell lung cancer 8 months after immunochemotherapy and surgical resection of the lung. He underwent combined systemic treatment and a laparoscopic right adrenalectomy; however, after 9 months, a metachronous left adrenal metastasis emerged. A subsequent laparoscopic left adrenalectomy and systemic treatment led to long‐term progression‐free survival. Conclusion The appropriate surgical indication and combined systemic treatment of a metachronous bilateral adrenal metastasis in non‐small cell lung cancer may extend the prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Adrenal metastasectomy is associated with increased survival in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with isolated adrenal metastases. Although clinical use of adrenal metastasectomy has expanded, indications remain poorly defined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical benefit of adrenal metastasectomy for all lung cancer subtypes. PATIENTS AND METHODS We performed a retrospective cohort study of patients who underwent adrenal metastasectomy for metastatic lung cancer at six institutions between 2001 and 2015. The primary outcomes were disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Cox proportional hazards regressions and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis were performed. RESULTS For 122 patients, the mean age was 60.5 years and 49.2% were female. Median time to detection of the metastasis was 11 months, and 41.8% were ipsilateral to the primary lung cancer. Median DFS was 40 months (1 year: 64.8%; 5 year: 42.9%). Factors associated with longer DFS included primary tumor resection [hazard ratio (HR): 0.001; p = 0.005], longer time to adrenal metastasis (HR: 0.94; p = 0.005), and ipsilateral metastases (HR: 0.13; p = 0.004). Shorter DFS corresponded with older age (HR: 1.11; p = 0.01), R1 resection (HR: 8.94; p = 0.01), adjuvant radiation (HR: 9.45; p = 0.02), and open adrenal metastasectomy (HR: 10.0; p = 0.03). Median OS was 47 months (1 year: 80.2%; 5 year: 35.2%). Longer OS was associated with ipsilateral metastasis (HR: 0.55; p = 0.02) and adjuvant chemotherapy (HR: 0.35; p = 0.02). Shorter OS was associated with extra-adrenal metastases at adrenalectomy (HR: 3.52; p = 0.007), small cell histology (HR: 15.0; p = 0.04), and lung radiation (HR: 3.37; p = 0.002). DISCUSSION Durable survival was observed in patients undergoing adrenal metastasectomy and should be considered for isolated adrenal metastases of NSCLC. Small cell histology and extra-adrenal metastases are relative contraindications to adrenal metastasectomy.

Abstract
Simple Summary Approximately 7–50% of patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) develop oligometastases, which are new tumors found in another part of the body, arising from cancer cells of the original tumor that have travelled through the body. In recent years, these patients have been increasingly regarded as a distinct group that could benefit from treatment that intends to cure the disease, rather than palliative care, to achieve a better clinical outcome. Various treatment procedures have been developed for treating NSCLC patients with different oligometastatic sites. In addition, the newly proposed uniform definition for oligometastases as well as ongoing trials may lead to increased appropriate patient selection and evaluation of treatment effectiveness. The aim of this review article is to summarize the latest evidence regarding optimal management strategies for NSCLC patients with oligometastases. Abstract Oligometastatic non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a distinct entity that is different from localized and disseminated diseases. The definition of oligometastatic NSCLC varies across studies in past decades owing to the use of different imaging modalities; however, a uniform definition of oligometastatic NSCLC has been proposed, and this may facilitate trial design and evaluation of certain interventions. Patients with oligometastatic NSCLC are candidates for curative-intent management, in which local ablative treatment, such as surgery or stereotactic radiosurgery, should be instituted to improve clinical outcomes. Although current guidelines recommend that local therapy for thoracic and metastatic lesions should be considered for patients with oligometastatic NSCLC with stable disease after systemic therapy, optimal management strategies for different oligometastatic sites have not been established. Additionally, the development of personalized therapies for individual patients with oligometastatic NSCLC to improve their quality of life and overall survival should also be addressed. Here, we review relevant articles on the management of patients with oligometastatic NSCLC and categorize the disease according to the site of metastases. Ongoing trials are also summarized to determine future directions and expectations for new treatment modalities to improve patient management.

Abstract
Objective Long-term survival of patients who undergo surgical resection of isolated adrenal metastasis instead of nonsurgical treatment has shown higher values than those described for stage IVA. The primary endpoint was to evaluate overall survival (OS) of patients with single adrenal metastasis from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), who underwent surgical treatment. The secondary endpoint was to evaluate and compare the OS and disease-free survival (DFS) according to: pathological lung tumour size, histology, lymph node involvement, type of metastasis at the time of diagnosis and laterality of the metastasis according to the primary lung tumour. Methods From August 2007 to March 2020, 13 patients with isolated adrenal gland metastasis were identified. We performed a descriptive observational study including patients with diagnosed single adrenal gland metastasis of resectable primary lung cancer and no history of other malignant disease. Clinical data obtained included patient demographics, metastases characteristics, laterality of the metastasis, time between surgeries, length of follow-up, survival status, pathological lung tumour size, histology and lymph node involvement. The variables analysed were OS and DFS. Results Median global OS was 31.9 months (interquartile range (IQR), 19.1-51.4). The 2- and 5-year OS estimated was 54% (95% CI: 29.5%-77.4%) and 36% (95% CI: 13.4%-68.1%), respectively. In patients with NSCLC without mediastinal lymph node involvement, we obtain a median OS of 40 months (IQR, 27.4-51.4) and a 2- and 5-year OS estimated of 75% (95% CI: 43.2%-92.2%) and 50% (95% CI: 18.7%-81.2%), respectively. Recurrence was detected in five patients with a median DFS of 11.9 months (IQR, 6-34.2). Conclusion The resection of the adrenal metastasis should be considered if the primary lung cancer is resectable. Presence of mediastinal lymph node involvement should be ruled out through invasive staging of the mediastinum before performing adrenal and lung surgery. Proper selection of patients who would benefit from surgery is essential to obtain better survival results.

Outcomes after Surgical Treatment of Metastatic Disease in the Adrenal Gland; Valuable for the Patient? Cancers (Basel) 2021; 14:cancers14010156. [PMID: 35008320 PMCID: PMC8750225 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14010156] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2021] [Revised: 12/09/2021] [Accepted: 12/25/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Adrenal glands are common dissemination sites for metastases of various solid tumors. The rapid development of new treatment strategies, such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy for different cancer types, has led to increased metastatic adrenalectomies. Therefore, clear communication between oncologists and adrenal gland specialists has become increasingly important to outweigh surgical risks versus oncological advantages of adrenalectomies in these patients. This study assesses trends in diagnosis, type of surgery, and short-term and long-term surgical outcomes of patients who underwent metastatic adrenalectomy. We included a total of 95 patients with an adrenal metastasis of non-adrenal primary tumors, most often colorectal or lung cancer, who underwent (minimal invasive) adrenalectomy. 37.9% of the patients experienced one or more complications after adrenalectomy. Within our patient cohort, an increased demand for metastatic adrenalectomy was observed over the past years, which might be associated with the rise of targeted- and immunotherapy. Our data aims to assist multidisciplinary teams with weighing the pros and cons of resection of the metastasized adrenal gland of cancer patients. Abstract The adrenal glands are common dissemination sites for metastasis of various solid tumors. Surgical treatment is often recommended because targeted therapies and immunotherapy are frequently ineffective for adrenal metastasis. We report the experience with short-term and long-term surgical outcomes of patients undergoing surgery for adrenal metastasis in two hospitals. A retrospective, multicenter study was performed to analyze patient characteristics, tumor-related data, perioperative outcomes, and oncological outcomes. Postoperative complications that occurred within 30 days were scored according to the Clavien Dindo classification. Metastatic adrenalectomy was performed in 95 patients. We observed an increase from an average of 3 metastatic adrenalectomies per year between 2001–2005 to 10 between 2015–2019. The most frequent underlying malignancies were colorectal and lung cancer. In 55.8%, minimal invasive adrenalectomy was performed, including six conversions to open surgery. A total of 37.9% of patients had postoperative complications, of which ileus or gastroparesis, wound problems, pneumonia, and heart arrhythmias were the most occurring complications. Improved cancer care has led to an increased demand for metastatic adrenalectomy over the past years. Complication rates of 37.9% are significant and cannot be neglected. Therefore, multidisciplinary teams should weigh the decision to perform metastatic adrenalectomy for each patient individually, taking into account the drawbacks of the described morbidity versus the potential benefits.

Prognostic significance of the postoperative/preoperative serum CEA level ratio in patients with solitary adrenal metastasis from lung cancer. Mol Clin Oncol 2021; 16:10. [PMID: 34881030 DOI: 10.3892/mco.2021.2443] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/27/2021] [Accepted: 10/06/2021] [Indexed: 01/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The present study aimed to evaluate the prognostic significance of the postoperative to preoperative serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) level ratio (CEA ratio) in patients with lung cancer with solitary metastasis of the adrenal gland after adrenalectomy. Furthermore, the optimal CEA ratio cutoff value for predicting disease-free survival (DFS) in patients with lung cancer after adrenalectomy was determined. The medical records of patients with lung cancer with isolated adrenal metastasis who underwent adrenalectomy at the National Cancer Center Hospital East (Kashiwa, Japan) between January 2013 and December 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to segregate patients into two groups (high and low CEA groups) and the clinical prognosis for the two groups was determined. In addition, the association between the CEA ratio and clinical factors was determined. A total of 14 patients with a median age of 68 years (range, 50-75 years) were analyzed, of which 9 (64%) were males. The optimal cutoff value for the CEA ratio to predict DFS was 0.60. The high CEA ratio group (≥0.60) displayed poorer DFS and cancer-specific survival (P=0.03 and 0.02, respectively). The CEA ratio was significantly associated with the preoperative CEA level (P=0.01) and the high CEA ratio (≥0.60) group had lower preoperative CEA levels. The study suggested that the perioperative CEA ratio may be an important emerging prognostic factor for patients with lung cancer with solitary adrenal gland metastasis. As the sample size was limited, a further study with a larger cohort is required to validate the present findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal of this study was to examine a multi-institutional experience with adrenal metastases to describe survival outcomes and identify subpopulations who benefit from adrenal metastasectomy. BACKGROUND Adrenalectomy for metastatic disease is well-described, although indications and outcomes are incompletely defined. METHODS A retrospective cohort study was performed of patients undergoing adrenalectomy for secondary malignancy (2002-2015) at 6 institutions. The primary outcomes were disease free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS). Analysis methods included Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards. RESULTS Of 269 patients, mean age was 60.1 years; 50% were male. The most common primary malignancies were lung (n = 125, 47%), renal cell (n = 38, 14%), melanoma (n = 33, 12%), sarcoma (n = 18, 7%), and colorectal (n = 12, 5%). The median time to detection of adrenal metastasis after initial diagnosis of the primary tumor was 17 months (interquartile range: 6-41). Post-adrenalectomy, the median DFS was 18 months (1-year DFS: 54%, 5-year DFS: 31%). On multivariable analysis, lung primary was associated with longer DFS [hazard ratio (HR): 0.49, P = 0.008). Extra-adrenal oligometastatic disease at initial presentation (HR: 1.84, P = 0.016), larger tumor size (HR: 1.07, P = 0.013), chemotherapy as treatment of the primary tumor (HR: 2.07 P = 0.027) and adjuvant chemotherapy (HR: 1.95, P = 0.009) were associated with shorter DFS. Median OS was 53 months (1-year OS: 83%, 5-year OS: 43%). On multivariable analysis, extra-adrenal oligometastatic disease at adrenalectomy (HR: 1.74, P = 0.031), and incomplete resection of adrenal metastasis (R1 margins; HR: 1.62, P = 0.034; R2 margins; HR: 5.45, P = 0.002) were associated with shorter OS. CONCLUSIONS Durable survival is observed in patients undergoing adrenal metastasectomy and should be considered for subjects with isolated adrenal metastases.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate survival outcomes and toxicology profiles in oligometastatic/oligoprogressive patients treated with SBRT for adrenal metastases. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 25 metastatic adrenal lesions in 24 oligometastatic/oligoprogressive patients undergoing ablative Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) between February 2010 and November 2019 in our department. The primary endpoint was overall survival (OS). Secondary endpoints were local overall response rate (ORR), acute and late toxicities. RESULTS The most common primary tumor was non-small cell lung cancer (54%). Twenty-one patients received chemo or immuno-therapy. The median planning target volume (PTV) was 41.7 cm3. Median SBRT dose was 36 Gy. Median dose per fraction was 15 Gy. Median survival was 35-months with OS outcomes ranging from 6-months (100%), 1-year (87.5%) and 2-years (66.7%). ORR based on RECIST criteria was 66.5%. 12 patients experienced acute toxicities, mostly grade 1-2 (8 patients, 32%). CONCLUSIONS SBRT for oligometastatic/oligoprogressive patients with adrenal metastases showed acceptable survival outcomes and a safe toxicity profile.

Abstract
An oligometastatic cancer state was first postulated in the 1990s by Hellman and Weichselbaum and described limited metastatic spread to a single or few sites of disease. It was hypothesized that this metastatic entity falls along a continuum of the natural history of cancer progression from a localized primary tumor to widespread metastases. Support for oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has since been provided by multiple retrospective studies and then prospective randomized trials demonstrating better survival in this patient population after aggressive consolidative treatment. However, the lack of a universal definition of oligometastatic NSCLC has hindered a comparison between different studies and prevented well-defined recommendations for local consolidative treatment in this patient population. Attempts have been made to establish a common definition for use in clinical management and for the identification of inclusion criteria for future trials. In this review, we seek to summarize the current definitions of oligometastatic NSCLC based on recent expert consensus statements, previous randomized trials, and current treatment guidelines and to highlight the continued variability in current practice.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess prospectively the efficacy and safety of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for adrenal gland metastasis, with a focus on the assessment of the irradiated subjects' endocrinological function. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 36 patients were enrolled from 2017 to 2020 in this prospective phase II trial. Patients were treated with Linac-based SBRT, with a dose of 45 Gy in 3 consecutive fractions. Primary end-point was local control (LC) of the treated lesions and secondary end-points included evaluation of acute and late toxicity, progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) and the impact on the hormonal production of adrenal glands. RESULTS With a median follow-up of 9.5 months, LC rates at 1 and 2 years were 94.7% and 88.4%, respectively. Rates of PFS at 1 and 2 years were 50.5% and 29.8%, with a median PFS of 14.7 months. Rates of OS at 1 and 2 years were 62.9% and 44.1%. At univariate analysis, oligorecurrence was associated with better OS compared to oligoprogressive or synchronous metastatic disease. No grade 3 or greater toxicities were registered and only a minority of patients (22.2%) reported mild treatment-related side effects. Hormonal and electrolytes production was assessed before and after treatment, showing only a slight and transient variation within the reference ranges. CONCLUSION SBRT on adrenal metastases has been confirmed to be a feasible and effective treatment. With an excellent disease control and the preservation of the endocrine function, SBRT with ablative dose can be considered a viable alternative to more invasive approaches.

Abstract
Background: This study was to evaluate the value of lobectomy in the prognosis of Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with primary metastasis based on the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database. Methods: This was a population-based retrospective study and the clinical data were collected from the National Cancer Institute's SEER database between 2010 and 2015. The effects of pulmonary surgery and surgical procedures on lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS) and overall survival (OS) were assessed, and the COX regression models were employed to evaluate the survival of primary surgery in patients with primary metastatic NSCLC (pmNSCLC) and the survival of surgical procedure in pmNSCLC patients. Results: A total of 55,717 patients diagnosed with pmNSCLC between 2010 and 2015 were enrolled, and pulmonary surgery was indicated in 1,575 (2.83%) patients. Surgery was an independent risk factor for LCSS (P < 0.001, HR 0.658, 95%CI: 0.637-0.680) and OS (P < 0.001, HR 0.665, 95%CI: 0.644-0.686) of pmNSCLC patients. The surgery was associated with better OS (P < 0.001, HR 0.678, 95%CI: 0.657-0.699). The site of metastasis was also related to the survival after primary tumor surgery (P = 0.001). As compared to the sublobectomy and pneumonectomy, lobectomy improved the LCSS for NSCLC patients with single-organ metastasis, rather than multiple metastases (P < 0.001). In patients receiving sublobectomy, lobectomy, and pneumonectomy, the median LCSS was 12, 28, and 13 months, respectively, and the 5-year LCSS rate was 14.39, 32.06, and 17.24%, respectively. Conclusion: The effect of locoregional surgery on the survival of pmNSCLC patients with single-organ metastasis has been underestimated, and lobectomy may be a preferred treatment for patients with single-lung metastasis.

Abstract
More than half of all patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis. A subset of these patients has oligometastatic disease, which exists in an intermediary state between locoregional and disseminated metastatic disease. In addition, some metastatic patients on systemic therapy may have limited disease progression, or oligoprogression. Historically, treatment of metastatic NSCLC was palliative in nature, with little expectation of long-term survival. However, an accumulation of evidence over the past 3 decades now demonstrates that local ablative therapy to sites of limited metastases or progression can improve patient outcomes for this complex disease. This review examines the evidence behind local ablative therapy in oligometastatic and oligoprogressive NSCLC, with a focus on surgery, stereotactic radiotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation.

Abstract
Patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer and limited metastatic disease have been defined as oligometastatic if local ablative therapy of all lesions is amenable. Evidence from different clinical retrospective series suggests that this subgroup harbours better prognosis than other stage IV patients. However, most reports have included patients with inconsistent numbers of metastases in different locations treated by a variety of invasive and noninvasive therapies. As long as further results from randomised clinical trials are awaited, treatment decision follows an interdisciplinary debate in each individual case. Surgery and radiotherapy should capture a dominant role in the treatment course offering the option of a curative-intended local therapy in combination with a systemic therapy based on an interdisciplinary decision. This review summarises the current treatment standard in oligometastatic lung cancer with focus on an ablative therapy for both lung primary and distant metastases in prognostically favourable locations.

Abstract
Introduction The adrenal gland is a frequent site of metastases in different types of cancer. The aim of this study was to assess the results of metastatic adrenalectomy in a single institution and to identify factors for survival. Material and methods A retrospective, single-centre analysis of outcomes of 39 patients (22 male, 17 female) with adrenal metastases who underwent surgery within 14 years (2004–2017) was performed. The median age at the time of adrenal surgery was 64.8 years (range 49–79 years). Results In our study group non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) was the most frequent primary tumour type (15 pts), followed by renal cell carcinoma (RCC) (14 pts) and colon cancer (6 pts). Most of the metastases – 36 (92%) – were metachronous (> 6 months). All synchronous metastases were NSCLC. The mean time from primary cancer to adrenalectomy was 42.3 months (range 1–176) and was statistically longer for RCC. In 3 patients (8%) metastases were bilateral and both adrenal glands were removed. In all patients, surgery was limited to the adrenal gland, and no major complications of surgery were observed. The median overall survival after metastasectomy was 18 months (3–81) and was statistically longer for colon cancer – 29.5 months (p = 0.012). In patients who died, tumours were significantly bigger than in survivors, 76.5 mm vs. 52.5 mm (p = 0.026). Conclusions Surgery for adrenal metastasis is safe and indications for this procedure should be individualized. In selected patients, surgical removal of adrenal metastasis was associated with longer survival.

Abstract
Background The outcome of adrenalectomy carried out by laparoscopy or open surgery for solid tumor metastases was assessed. Methods A total of 317 patients with histologically confirmed adrenal metastatic disease collected from 30 centres in Europe underwent adrenalectomy by laparoscopy (n=146) or open laparotomy (n=171). Differences between laparoscopic and open adrenalectomy were assessed by a single Cox analysis for both procedures. Results The median overall survival was 24.0 [95% confidence interval (CI): 21.4-26.6] months for open adrenalectomy and 45.0 (95% CI: 22.6-67.4) for laparoscopic adrenalectomy (P=0.008). Survival rates were 68%, 49%, 35% and 29% at 1, 2, 3 and 5 years for open surgery vs. 88%, 62%, 52% and 46% for laparoscopy, respectively. In the subgroup of R0 resections, the difference in survival in favor of laparoscopy (median 46 vs. 27 months) was marginally significant (P=0.073). Renal cancer [hazard ratio (HR) 0.42; 95% CI: 0.23-0.76, P=0.005], surgery of the primary tumor (HR 0.33; 95% CI: 0.19-0.54), and use of chemotherapy (HR 0.62; 95% CI: 0.43-0.88) were associated with a better survival, whereas type of resection (R1/R2 vs. R0) was associated with a worse prognosis (HR 2.29; 95% CI: 1.52-3.44, P<0.001). Conclusions Laparoscopic adrenalectomy patients showed a longer survival than open adrenalectomy individuals, as minimally invasive approach was attempted more common in less advanced disease which led to higher number of R0 resections.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine if there are differences in overall survival (OS) or event-free survival (EFS) in patients with and without concomitant extra-adrenal metastases undergoing adrenal metastasectomy. BACKGROUND There is growing interest in the use of local therapies in patients with oligometastatic disease. Previously published series have indicated that long-term survival is possible with resection. Adrenalectomy has been used to treat adrenal metastases in select patients. METHODS Patients who underwent adrenal metastasectomy from 1994 to 2015 were identified from a prospectively maintained institutional database of adrenalectomy patients, excluding adrenalectomies due to tumor extension or for palliation. Sites of disease, treatment history, and survival data were extracted from chart review. RESULTS One hundred seventy-four patients were included. Tumor histology included 68 nonsmall cell lung cancer, 34 renal cancer, 18 colorectal cancer, 11 melanoma cancer, 10 hepatocellular cancer, 8 sarcoma cancer, and 25 other cancers. The median follow-up among survivors was 5.2 (1-21) years. OS at 3 and 5 years was 50% and 40%, respectively. Patients with (n = 83) and without (n = 91) extra-adrenal metastases did not differ with respect to age, adrenal tumor size, or margin status. Median OS (3.3 years for patients with concomitant extra-adrenal metastases and 3.0 years for patients with isolated adrenal metastases; P = 0.816) and EFS (9.39 vs 9.59 months; P = 0.87) were similar. Factors negatively associated with OS included adrenal tumor size (P < 0.01), renal primary versus other (P < 0.01), and adrenal margin status (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In selected patients undergoing adrenal metastasectomy, there were no significant differences in OS or EFS between patients with and without concomitant extra-adrenal metastases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accurate staging is crucial for the proper management of patients with nonsmall cell lung cancer, especially for choosing the best treatment strategy. Different Imaging methods are used to stage patients with non-small cell lung cancer. In the last two decades, FDG PET/CT is carried out in almost all the main Hospitals around the world in this setting. OBJECTIVE The aim of this paper is to focus on the value of integrated FDG PET/CT in the TNM staging of the non-small cell lung cancer. METHODS A non-systematic revision of the literature was performed in order to identify all papers about the role of FDG PET/CT in the evaluation of non-small cell lung cancer and to highlight the value of FDG PET/CT in this setting. RESULTS Many data are now available about this topic, including also randomized controlled trials. FDG PET/CT is of limited added value in the characterization of T status but it increases the diagnostic accuracy for the assessment of the nodal status. The main advantage of FDG PET/CT over conventional imaging methods is its higher sensitivity in identifying extra-thoracic metastases, especially bone and adrenal lesions. CONCLUSION PET/CT with FDG should be included in the diagnostic work-up of patients with lung cancer, because it provides useful information for appropriate therapy.

Abstract
Background Increasing evidence has shown the effectiveness of surgery for stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Present study aims to summarize the experience of our institution in dealing with advanced NSCLC in the context of multimodality therapy including lung surgery. Methods Patients underwent surgical resection for stage IV NSCLC diagnosed before or during surgery from January 2014 to June 2017 at Tangdu Hospital were included in this study. Results There were 88 stage IV NSCLC patients enrolled in this study. Among them, 35 patients with pleural metastases, 18 with brain oligometastases, 25 with extra-brain oligometastases and 10 with multiple metastatic sites or organs. For primary lung tumor, almost all (86/88) were resected with R0. For metastatic lesions, 53 patients received curative local treatment and 9 patients with partial treatment. There were 62 patients received adjuvant treatment, 10 patients received no adjuvant treatment and 16 patients with missing data of adjuvant treatment. The median overall survival of patients was 31.72 months. The estimated 3-year OS was 42.2%. Patients with pleural metastases and brain oligometastases got better outcomes than the ones with extra-brain oligometastases and multiple metastases (P<0.001). Patients with adjuvant epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment had significantly better OS compared with those with adjuvant chemotherapy treatment (P=0.015). Besides, age <60 and cT1-2 were also associated with better survival. Conclusions Surgery may be a considerable choice for stage IV NSCLC in the context of multimodality therapy.

Abstract
Background Previous studies have demonstrated that survival of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with oligometastasis may benefit from local treatment. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of local surgical treatment with systematic chemoradiotherapy in NSCLC with oligometastasis. Methods Data from a total of 172 patients with NSCLC with oligometastasis were collected at our Cancer Hospital from January 2006 to December 2016. The patients were divided into two groups: group A (82 cases) underwent primary surgical treatment and adjuvant chemotherapy was performed after operation, while group B (90 cases) received systematic chemotherapy and local radiotherapy. The median survival time (MST) and the 5-year survival rate of the two groups were compared and analyzed. The effects of various pathological types, surgical methods of the primary tumors and the site of oligometastasis were also analyzed. Results The MSTs in groups A and group B were 48 months and 18 months, respectively, and the 5-year survival rates were 21.1% and 7.6%, respectively (P<0.05). In group A, the survival rates were higher in patients with adrenal metastasis than patients with metastasis in the brain, bone, the liver or in other oligometastatic patients (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the survival rate among the various pathological types or surgical methods of primary tumors (P>0.05). Conclusions Local surgical treatment of primary lesions in NSCLC significantly prolonged overall survival and 5-year survival rates of patients with NSCLC with oligometastasis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to report our centre's experience over the past 15 years with patients with lung carcinoma and adrenal metastases treated sequentially with lung resection and adrenalectomy. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analysed a retrospective series of 19 patients who underwent adrenalectomy for lung carcinoma metastasis. All patients were operated on at the same centre, between October 2000 and October 2015. We performed a descriptive analysis and an overall survival and disease-free survival analysis. RESULTS The study included 13 men and 6 women. The most common primary lung tumour was adenocarcinoma, 87.5% of which were G3. In 7 patients, the adrenal metastasis was detected synchronously, and in 12 patients it was detected metachronously. The median size of the metastasis was 63mm. Twenty-one percent of the cases presented local recurrence, and 79% presented distant metastasis. The median DFS was 21.5 months, while the DFS at 5 years was calculated at 58.33%. The median overall survival was 37.3 months, while survival at 5 years was calculated at 42.86%. None of the prognostic factors evaluated were statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS Adrenalectomy in cases of isolated lung carcinoma metastasis can offer increased overall survival. Age and the degree of differentiation of the primary lung carcinoma are the factors that most influence poorer survival.

Abstract
AIM We aimed to analyze surgical outcomes of open or laparoscopic adrenalectomy for solitary adrenal metastasis and assess the factors influencing survival. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed our institutional clinicopathological database for cases of adrenalectomy for solitary adrenal metastasis from solid tumors between 2000 and 2017. RESULTS Twenty-five patients underwent open adrenalectomy (n = 11) or laparoscopic adrenalectomy (n = 14). The most common primary site was the lung (n = 7), followed by the kidney (n = 5), liver (n = 3), ovary (n = 2), soft tissue (n = 2), and six other sites. The majority of the patients (n = 19) had metachronous metastasis. The median tumor size was 3.1 cm (1-9 cm). With the median follow-up of 32 months (2-144 months), the median progression-free and overall survivals were 14 and 63 months, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that synchronous metastasis (hazard ratio [HR] = 7.5) and tumor size ≥ 4 cm (HR = 17.7) were significant prognostic factors for shorter overall survival. There was no significant difference for survival between the laparoscopic and open groups. CONCLUSIONS Adrenalectomy for solitary adrenal metastasis can be applied for selected patients with various types of malignancy. However, synchronous metastasis and tumor size ≥ 4 cm were prognostic factors for shorter overall survival.

Abstract
Oligometastatic disease is defined as an intermediate state between localized and widespread metastatic disease. Given that in the oligometastatic state gross tumors represent the full extent of disease, there may be a role for curative local therapy despite metastatic disease. As nearly 60% of patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) present with metastatic disease and another 45% of patients with initially localized disease will ultimately develop distant metastases, NSCLC represents a prime disease for aggressive intervention. In this review, the definition, prognostic factors, patient selection, rationale and evidence for treatment of oligoprogressive and oligometastatic NSCLC is discussed, including recent prospective trials and future directions.

Abstract
Radiation therapy continues to play an important role in the management of cancer. In this review, we discuss the use of radiation therapy to target and control micrometastatic disease (adjuvant use of radiation), or using stereotactic radiation therapy to address small volumes of gross disease, such as oligometastases, and finally the use of radiation therapy in the era of immunotherapy. Radiation therapy is commonly used to treat nodal basins suspected of harboring microscopic disease. More recently, computer and technical innovations have allowed radiation oncologists to treat small volumes of gross disease within the brain and also in the body with great success, adding to the cancer armamentarium. This modality of cancer treatment that began shortly after the discovery of X-rays by William Roentgen continues to evolve and finds new clinical applications which minimize toxicity while increasing effectiveness. The newly discovered interactions of high dose/fraction radiation (stereotactic radiosurgery) with immune check point inhibitors in melanoma is the latest example of how synergism can be achieved between two different modalities thus increasing the therapeutic ratio to control metastatic cancer.

Abstract
The updated eighth edition of the tumor, node, metastasis (TNM) classification for lung cancer includes revisions to T and M descriptors. In terms of the M descriptor, the classification of intrathoracic metastatic disease as M1a is unchanged from TNM-7. Extrathoracic metastatic disease, which was classified as M1b in TNM-7, is now subdivided into M1b (single metastasis, single organ) and M1c (multiple metastases in one or multiple organs) descriptors. In this article, the rationale for changes in the M descriptors, the utility of preoperative staging with PET/computed tomography, and the treatment options available for patients with oligometastatic disease are discussed.

Abstract
The vast majority of lung cancer (80%) are non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) presenting in huge proportion of patients in a metastatic stage at the time of diagnosis with an overall survival (OS) of only 6 months. Standard treatment at this stage involves systemic platinum based chemotherapy improving the OS for only few months. For the vast majority of patients disease progression occurs and cure cannot achieved. An exception to this general rule is represented by patients with a limited number of metastasis (approximately 7% of patients with metastatic NSCLC): in 1995 Hellman and Weichselbaum introduced the term "oligometastatic" for a selected group of patients with metastatic disease. Several retrospective studies have been published and documented an improved outcome in patients managed surgically. The purpose of this narrative review is to gather all relevant information and present the various clinicopathological and generic aspects of diagnosis, management strategies and prognostic factors in patients with oligometastatic NSCLC. The key for long term survival includes radical treatment of the primary NSCLC, single organ site with either synchronous or metachronous presentation, a disease free interval to be as long as possible and the absence of intrathoracic lymph node spread (N0). A more accurate staging with combination of FDG-PET and CT scan can have on impact on the survival rates due to an increased accuracy in mediastinal staging and in the diagnosis of distant metastasis. No randomized data but only retrospective series are available to date to address this topic: in the future, additional prospective studies will be necessary to provide robust evidence to support the surgical resection as treatment of oligometastatic NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is considered incurable; however, some patients with only few metastases may benefit from treatment with a curative intent. We aimed to identify the prognostic factors for stage IV NSCLC with synchronous solitary M1. METHODS A database constructed from our weekly multidisciplinary thoracic oncology meetings was retrospectively screened from 1993 to 2012. Consecutive patients with NSCLC stages I to IV were included. RESULTS Of the 6,760 patients found, 4,832 patients were studied. Among the 1,592 patients (33%) with stage IV NSCLC, 109 (7%) had a synchronous solitary M1. Metastasis involved the brain in 64% of patients. Median overall survival was significantly longer in synchronous solitary M1 than in other stage IV (18.9 months, interquartile range [IQR]: 9.9 to 34.6 months versus 6.1 months, IQR: 2.3 to 13.7 months], respectively, p < 10-4). Among patients with synchronous solitary M1, 90 (83%) received a local treatment with curative intent at the primary and metastatic sites. Factors independently associated with survival were age older than 63 years (hazard ratio [HR] 1.63, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01 to 2.63), Performance status of 3 or 4 (HR 7.91, 95% CI: 2.23 to 28.03), use of chemotherapy (HR 0.38, 95% CI: 0.23 to 0.64), and operation conducted at both sites (HR 0.35, 95% CI: 0.19 to 0.65). CONCLUSIONS Synchronous solitary M1 treated with chemotherapy and operation at both sites resulted in better survival. Survival of NSCLC with synchronous solitary M1 was more similar to stage III than other stage IV NSCLCs. The eighth TNM classification takes this into account by distinguishing between stages M1b and M1c.

Abstract
Maxillary sinus cancer is rare, and often presents as a locally advanced disease. Recurrence commonly occurs locoregionally, while fewer patients present with distant metastasis; the most common sites involved are the lung and bone. This report discusses the case of a 64-year-old male who presented with a mass in the left submandibular area. Biopsy was performed and histological analysis identified a poorly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. After staging work up, it was concluded the patient had a maxillary sinus squamous cell carcinoma at clinical stage IVA. The patient received a left partial maxillectomy and left radical neck dissection followed by postoperative chemoradiotherapy. After three months of CRT, the patient developed a left adrenal gland metastasis without locoregional failure. The patient subsequently received a laparoscopic left adrenalectomy and the results of histological analysis revealed a poorly-differentiated squamous cell carcinoma. Within one month of surgery, the patient had developed multiple metastases at the left adrenalectomy site and succumbed to the disease four months later.

Abstract
The oligometastatic disease theory was initially described in 1995 by Heilman and Weichselbaum. Since then, much work has been performed to investigate its existence in many solid tumors. This has led to subclassifications of stage IV cancer, which could redefine our treatment approaches and the therapeutic outcomes for this historically “incurable” entity. With a high incidence of stage IV disease, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains a difficult cancer to treat and cure. Recent work has proven the existence of an oligometastatic state in NSCLC in terms of properly selecting patients who may benefit from aggressive therapy and experience long-term overall survival. This review discusses the current treatment approaches used in oligometastatic NSCLC and provides the evidence and rationale for each approach. The prognostic factors of many trials are discussed, which can be used to properly select patients for aggressive treatment regimens. Future advances in both molecular profiling of NSCLC to find targetable mutations and investigating patient selection may increase the number of patients diagnosed with oligometastatic NSCLC. As this disease entity increases, it is of utmost importance for oncologists treating NSCLC to be aware of the current treatment strategies that exist and the potential advantages/disadvantages of each.

Abstract
Objective To retrospectively evaluate the short-term outcomes and safety of computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) of solitary adrenal metastasis from lung cancer. Materials and Methods From May 2010 to April 2014, 31 patients with unilateral adrenal metastasis from lung cancer who were treated with CT-guided percutaneous MWA were enrolled. This study was conducted with approval from local Institutional Review Board. Clinical outcomes and complications of MWA were assessed. Results Their tumors ranged from 1.5 to 5.4 cm in diameter. After a median follow-up period of 11.1 months, primary efficacy rate was 90.3% (28/31). Local tumor progression was detected in 7 (22.6%) of 31 cases. Their median overall survival time was 12 months. The 1-year overall survival rate was 44.3%. Median local tumor progression-free survival time was 9 months. Local tumor progression-free survival rate was 77.4%. Of 36 MWA sessions, two (5.6%) had major complications (hypertensive crisis). Conclusion CT-guided percutaneous MWA may be fairly safe and effective for treating solitary adrenal metastasis from lung cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine if L/S ADX is a safe and effective procedure for the management of solitary adrenal metastasis of lung cancer, and if it improves survival in lung cancer patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical records of patients that were diagnosed as lung cancer and underwent L/S ADX for suspected adrenal gland metastasis were retrospectively analyzed. Patient demographics, prior interventions and medical treatments for lung cancer, adrenal mass characteristics, surgical features, postoperative course, and histopathological findings were examined. RESULTS In total, 13 patients underwent 15 L/S ADXs due to suspected solitary adrenal metastasis of lung cancer. Mean age of the patients was 60.5 ± 7.3 years. Mean adrenal mass size based on CT was 35 ± 26.9 mm. The surgical margin was tumor-free in eight of the ADXs. Surgical margin positivity was observed in seven ADXs, and local recurrence was observed in only two patients (28.5 %) with surgical margin positivity. Mean estimated survival in the patients with metachronous adrenal metastasis was lower than in those with synchronous adrenal metastasis (33.1 ± 5.4 vs. 33.2 ± 7.5 months, respectively). Estimated survival in the patients with NSCLC was higher than in those with SCLC (33.9 ± 5.7 vs. 24 ± 4.2 months, respectively); the difference was not significant (P = 0.736). Estimated overall survival was 33.4 ± 5.2 months. CONCLUSION Resection of adrenal metastases of lung cancer via L/S ADX could be considered a viable method for achieving disease-free status and prolonging survival, especially in chemo-frayed patients.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of this study was to study the clinical outcome for patients with metastases of the adrenal gland treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy. Materials and Methods Forty-six patients were studied retrospectively. The dose prescription was 40 Gy in four fractions. Dosimetric analysis was performed using the dose volume histograms while clinical outcome was assessed using actuarial analysis with determination of the overall survival (OS) and local control (LC) rates. Results The planning objectives were met for all patients. With a median follow-up period of 7.6 months, at the last follow-up 42 patients (91.3%) were alive and four had died because of distant progression. The actuarial mean OS was 28.5±1.6 months, the median was not reached. One-year and 2-year OS were 87.6±6.1%. None of the risk factors was significant in univariate analysis. Actuarial mean LC was 14.6±1.8 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 11.0 to 18.2) and median LC was 14.5±2.0 months (95% CI, 10.5 to 18.5). One-year and 2-year LC were 65.5±11.9% and 40.7±15.8%, respectively. A mild profile of toxicity was observed in the cohort of patients. Forty patients (86.9%) showed no complication (grade 0); two patients reported asthenia, six patients (13.1%) reported either pain, nausea, or vomiting. Of these six patients, five patients (10.9%) were scored as grade 1 toxicity while one patient (2.2%) was scored as grade 2. Conclusion Stereotactic body radiation therapy treatment provided an adequate clinical response in the management of adrenal gland metastases.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with close to half of all patients presenting with metastatic disease. A proportion of these patients with limited metastatic disease, termed oligometastatic disease, have been shown to benefit from a definitive treatment approach. Synchronous and metachronous presentation of oligometastatic disease have prognostic significance, with current belief that metachronous disease is more favorable. Surgical excision of intracranial and extracranial oligometastatic disease has been shown to improve survival, especially in patients with lymph node-negative disease, adenocarcinoma histology and smaller thoracic tumors. Definitive radiation to sites of oligometastatic disease and initial thoracic disease has also been shown to have a similar impact on survival for both intracranial and extracranial disease. Recent studies have reported on the use of targeted agents combined with ablative doses of radiation in the oligometastatic setting with promising outcomes. In this review, we present the historical and current literature describing surgical and radiation treatment options for patients with oligometastatic NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Several studies have been reported on the problem of determining when laparoscopic adrenalectomy is indicated for solitary adrenal metastasis of malignant tumors. Our efforts at answering this question constitute the basis of this report. METHODS From June 2010 to June 2011, laparoscopic adrenalectomy was performed in 10 lung cancer patients with solitary adrenal metastases (5 adenocarcinomas, 1 squamous cell carcinoma, 1 large cell carcinoma, 1 small cell carcinoma, and 2 pleomorphic carcinomas). The surgical results of all 10 patients were examined. RESULTS Adrenal swelling was detected by computed tomography in all patients except 1 case of pleomorphic carcinoma. The findings of positron emission tomography-computed tomography were positive in 8 patients, including the 2 cases with pleomorphic carcinomas. Laparoscopic surgery was successfully performed in 9 cases. In the eighth patient (a case of pleomorphic carcinoma with adrenal swelling), laparoscopic adrenalectomy was attempted but conversion to open surgery was required because of clear evidence of pancreatic invasion. CONCLUSION The results obtained in this study, along with other published reports, support 4 criteria as operative indications for laparoscopic adrenalectomy in solitary adrenal metastasis from the lung: (1) the primary lung cancer is resected or can be cured by radical chemotherapy, (2) metastasis is limited to the adrenal gland only, (3) adrenal metastasis does not invade the surrounding organs, and (4) the size of the adrenal tumor does not exceed 10 cm. In cases of pleomorphic carcinoma, laparoscopic adrenalectomy should be performed when positron emission tomography-computed tomography results are positive.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal management of suspected adrenal metastases remains controversial. METHODS This is a retrospective bi-institutional review of 37 patients who underwent adrenalectomy for suspected adrenal metastasis between 2001 and 2014. RESULTS Three (8%) patients had benign adenomas on final pathology. At a median follow-up of 21 months, 7 (32%) patients were alive with no evidence of disease and 7 (32%) were alive with recurrent disease. Recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 8 months; decreased RFS was associated with positive margins and size ≥6 cm. Overall survival (OS) was 29 months; decreased OS was associated with capsular disruption. There were no differences in RFS or OS by surgical approach. CONCLUSIONS The favorable OS supports adrenalectomy in select patients with suspected adrenal metastases. Minimally invasive adrenalectomy is safe and effective, but the surgical approach should be based on the ability to achieve a margin-negative resection with avoidance of capsular disruption.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A significant number of patients have recurrent or persistent lung cancer despite complete resection or treatment with definitive chemoradiation. Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)/stereotactic body radiation therapy is emerging as an important modality for the treatment of early-stage lung neoplasm; SRS may also offer an alternative treatment option for patients with recurrent lung disease. We evaluated outcomes after treatment with SRS for recurrent lung neoplasm in a large series of patients. METHODS Selected patients with limited recurrent, persistent, or progressive disease after one or more prior treatments for lung cancer were offered SRS. Thoracic surgeons evaluated all patients, placed fiducials when needed, and planned treatment in close collaboration with radiation oncologists and medical physicists. In our early experience, a single fraction of 20 Gy radiation was prescribed and was subsequently increased to 45 to 60 Gy in three to five fractions. The primary endpoint evaluated was overall survival. RESULTS We treated 100 patients with recurrent lung cancer (median age 72 years) with SRS. The postprocedure 30-day mortality rate was 0%; median follow-up was 51 months (range, 5 to 123). The median overall survival for the entire group was 23 months (95% confidence interval: 19 to 41). The probability of 2-year and 5-year overall survival was 49% (95% confidence interval: 40% to 60%) and 31% (95% confidence interval: 23% to 43%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our experience indicates that SRS is safe, and offers an alternative modality for selected patients with recurrent oligometastatic or persistent lung cancer. Thoracic surgeons should actively participate in SRS and continue to evaluate the efficacy of this treatment strategy.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence has surfaced over the past 20 years that supports the use of surgery for metastasis limited in number termed ‘oligometastases’. Local therapy for oligometastases results in long progression free survival in the absence of systemic therapy, including non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) allows for the delivery of anatomically precise, ablative doses of radiation therapy able to achieve local control rates of approximately 80% with minimal toxicity. In NSCLC, SBRT is emerging as an effective therapy in the management of sites resistant to targeted therapy. This review summarizes the published evidence for the use of local therapy in the management of oligometsatic cancer, with a focus on SBRT and NSCLC.

Abstract
The management strategy of adrenal metastases depends on different clinical situations. Adrenal metastasectomy in selected patients with isolated adrenal metastases is considered the treatment of choice, showing prolonged survival compared to chemotherapy alone. More recently, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) has emerged as an alternative local ablative treatment modality although limited data are available on the use of SBRT in treating adrenal gland metastases. Preliminary results are, however, encouraging, especially in selected patients with oligometastatic disease. We herewith review and discuss the potential role of SBRT as a local ablative treatment modality for adrenal metastases.

Langenbecks Arch Surg 2015; 400:333-9. [PMID: 25726026 DOI: 10.1007/s00423-015-1293-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2014] [Accepted: 02/18/2015] [Indexed: 12/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Only limited data exist on the treatment and outcome of adrenal metastases that derive from different primary tumor entities. Due to the lack of evidence, it is difficult to determine the indication for surgical resection. METHODS We assessed the outcome of 45 patients (28 men, 17 women) with adrenal metastases who underwent surgery (1990-2014). The median age at the time of adrenal surgery was 62 years (range 44-77 years). We were able to evaluate follow-up data of 41 patients. RESULTS Primary tumor types were liver n = 12 (hepatocellular carcinoma n = 9, cholangiocellular carcinoma n = 2, sarcoma n = 1), upper GI tract n = 5 (esophagus n = 2, stomach n = 3), lung n = 9, kidney n = 6, neuroendocrine tumors n = 3, colon n = 2, ovarial n = 2, melanoma n = 2, others n = 4. The overall median survival time was 14 months (95 % CI 8.375-19.625). The survival rates at 1, 2, 5, and 10 years were 60, 31, 21, and 11 %, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the survival time according to the resection status (R0 vs. R1/R2) (p < 0.001) and the type of the primary tumor (p = 0.009), while the metachronous or synchronous occurrence of adrenal metastases did not affect the prognosis. CONCLUSIONS Resection of adrenal metastases can improve the survival if patients are carefully selected, the tumor is completely resected, and the intervention is integrated into a multidisciplinary oncologic treatment strategy.

Evaluation of stereotactic body radiation therapy in the management of adrenal metastases from non-small cell lung cancer. TUMORI JOURNAL 2015; 101:98-103. [PMID: 25702673 DOI: 10.5301/tj.5000222] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Accepted: 05/30/2014] [Indexed: 02/08/2023]
Abstract
AIMS AND BACKGROUND In this retrospective analysis, we evaluated the use of stereotactic body radiation therapy in the management of adrenal metastases from non-small cell lung cancer and report our single center experience. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN Fifteen non-small cell lung cancer patients (9 male, 6 female) with 17 adrenal metastases referred to Gulhane Military Medical Academy Radiation Oncology Department were treated using active breathing control-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy between December 2009 and October 2013. Dose per fraction was 10 Gy to deliver a total dose of 30 Gy over 3 consecutive days for all metastatic adrenal lesions. The mean gross tumor volume was 28.4 cc (range 6.6-101.5) and mean planning target volume was 57.4 cc (range 16.5-143.8). RESULTS At a median follow-up of 16 months, local control was 86.7% and overall survival was 33.3%. Median disease-free survival was 10 months. Treatment response according to RECIST was categorized as complete response in 3 patients (20%), partial response in 5 patients (33.3%), stable disease in 5 patients (33.3%), and progressive disease in 2 patients (13.3%). Most common acute toxicity was grade 1 nausea (n = 7) and grade 1 fatigue (n = 12). There was no case of grade ≥3 acute or late toxicity. CONCLUSIONS Stereotactic body radiation therapy offers a safe and efficacious management strategy for adrenal metastases from non-small cell lung cancer by providing excellent local control with negligible treatment related toxicity.
