Clinical outcomes of image-guided therapies in patients with adrenocortical carcinoma: a tertiary referral center retrospective study. Oncologist 2024:oyae130. [PMID: 38869364 DOI: 10.1093/oncolo/oyae130] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2024] [Accepted: 05/08/2024] [Indexed: 06/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Image-guided therapies (IGTs) are commonly used in oncology, but their role in adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) is not well defined. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review of patients with ACC treated with IGTs. We assessed response to therapy using RECIST v1.1, time to next line of systemic therapy, disease control rate (DCR), local tumor progression-free survival (LTPFS), and complications of IGTs (based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events [CTCAE] version 5.0). RESULTS Our cohort included 26 patients (median age 56 years [range 38-76]; n = 18 female) who had 51 IGT sessions to treat 86 lesions. IGTs modalities included cryoablation (n = 49), microwave ablation (n = 21), combined microwave and bland trans-arterial embolization (n = 8), bland trans-arterial embolization alone (n = 3), radio-embolization (n = 3), and radiofrequency ablation (n = 2). DCR was 81.4% (70 out of 86), of which 66.3% of tumors showed complete response, 18.6% showed progressive disease, 8.1% showed partial response, and 7.0% showed stable disease. LTPFS rates were 73% and 63% at 1 and 2 years, respectively. Fourteen lesions underwent re-ablation for incomplete response on initial treatment. Sixteen patients (61.5%) received new systemic therapy following IGTs, with a median time to systemic therapy of 12.5 months (95% CI: 8.6 months upper limit not reached). There was 1 reported CTCAE grade 3 adverse event (biloma) following IGT. CONCLUSIONS IGT use in properly selected patients with ACC is safe and associated with prolonged disease control and delay in the need for systemic therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aggressive metastasis directed treatment of extracranial oligometastatic breast cancer with the aim of increasing disease-free survival has emerged as a new potential treatment paradigm, however there is currently a lack of data to assist in identifying the subset of patients who will potentially benefit most. This single-institute retrospective cohort study aimed to evaluate survival outcomes for patients with a solitary extracranial metastasis from breast cancer and to assess for significant prognostic factors. METHODS AND MATERIALS Medical records of 70 female breast cancer patients with a solitary extracranial metastasis actively managed at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (PMCC) Melbourne Campus between 2000 and 2019 were reviewed. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to estimate overall survival (OS), local progression free survival (LPFS) and distant progression free survival (DPFS). RESULTS Median follow-up period was 9.4 years. The study included 40 hormone receptor positive/HER2 negative (HR+HER2-), 14 hormone receptor positive/HER2 positive (HR+HER2+), 3 hormone receptor negative/HER2 positive (HR-HER2+), 9 triple negative (TNBC) and 4 unclassified breast cancer patients. 5-year OS rate for all patients was 46%, LPFS rate was 56% and DPFS was 20%. Tumour receptor group had a statistically significant association with OS and DPFS rates. TNBC patients had significantly poorer OS and DPFS rates in comparison to HR+HER2-patients. CONCLUSION Among patients with a solitary extracranial metastasis from breast cancer, TNBC was associated with the poorest OS and DPFS rates. Identification of other significant prognostic factors for oligometastatic breast cancer patients may inform guidelines for metastasis directed treatments.

Curr Oncol 2023; 31:115-131. [PMID: 38248093 PMCID: PMC10814717 DOI: 10.3390/curroncol31010008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Revised: 12/10/2023] [Accepted: 12/18/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
Background The lifespan of patients diagnosed with de novo metastatic breast cancer (dnMBC) has been prolonged. Nonetheless, there remains substantial debate regarding immediate breast reconstruction (IBR) for this particular subgroup of patients. The aim of this study was to construct a nomogram predicting the breast cancer-specific survival (BCSS) of dnMBC patients who underwent IBR. Methods A total of 682 patients initially diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) between 2010 and 2018 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database were included in this study. All patients were randomly allocated into training and validation groups at a ratio of 7:3. Univariate Cox hazard regression, least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO), and best subset regression (BSR) were used for initial variable selection, followed by a backward stepwise multivariate Cox regression to identify prognostic factors and construct a nomogram. Following the validation of the nomogram with concordance indexes (C-index), receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, calibration curves, and decision curve analyses (DCAs), risk stratifications were established. Results Age, marital status, T stage, N stage, breast subtype, bone metastasis, brain metastasis, liver metastasis, lung metastasis, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy were independent prognostic factors for BCSS. The C-indexes were 0.707 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.666-0.748] in the training group and 0.702 (95% CI, 0.639-0.765) in the validation group. In the training group, the AUCs for BCSS were 0.857 (95% CI, 0.770-0.943), 0.747 (95% CI, 0.689-0.804), and 0.700 (95% CI, 0.643-0.757) at 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, respectively, while in the validation group, the AUCs were 0.840 (95% CI, 0.733-0.947), 0.763 (95% CI, 0.677-0.849), and 0.709 (95% CI, 0.623-0.795) for the same time points. The calibration curves for BCSS probability prediction demonstrated excellent consistency. The DCA curves exhibited strong discrimination power and yielded substantial net benefits. Conclusions The nomogram, constructed based on prognostic risk factors, has the ability to provide personalized predictions for BCSS in dnMBC patients undergoing IBR and serve as a valuable reference for clinical decision making.

Abstract
The St. Gallen (SG) International Breast Cancer Conference is held every two years, previously in St. Gallen and now in Vienna. This year (2023) marks the eighteenth edition of this conference, which focuses on the treatment of patients with early-stage breast carcinoma. A panel discussion will be held at the end of this four-day event, during which a panel of experts will give their opinions on current controversial issues relating to the treatment of early-stage breast cancer patients. To this end, questions are generally formulated in such a way that clinically realistic cases are presented - often including poignant hypothetical modifications. This review reports on the outcome of these discussions and summarises the data associated with individual questions raised.

Abstract
Patients with oligometastatic breast cancer (BC) are candidates of choice for metastasis-directed therapy (MDT). This paper summarizes the opinions of an expert committee about the management of oligometastatic BC. The experts could complete the questionnaire from 13 September 2021, to 10 October 2021, followed by a discussion. The experts were physicians working in the Province of Quebec (Canada) and specialized in BC care, including surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, and radiation oncologists. The experts provided their opinions about the context of the disease and therapeutic approach, local and systemic therapies, and the prognosis of oligometastatic BC. In addition to the expert panel's opinions about the management of oligometastatic disease per se, the experts stated that a prospective data registry should be implemented to collect data about oligometastatic BC to improve knowledge about oligometastatic BC and implement data-driven MDT. These data could also allow for the design of treatment algorithms. In conclusion, this paper presents the expert panel's opinions about the management of oligometastatic BC and highlights the needs to be met to improve the care of this condition.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim was to evaluate the impact of local surgery performed during the year after MBC diagnosis on patients' outcomes from a large reallife cohort. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA Locoregional treatment for patients with MBC at the time of diagnosis remains debated. METHODS Women with newly diagnosed, de novo stage IV MBC and who started MBC treatment between January 2008 and December 2014 in one of the 18 French Comprehensive Cancer Centers were included (NCT03275311). The impact of local surgery performed during the first year on overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) was evaluated by the Cox proportional hazards model in a 12 month-landmark analysis. RESULTS Out of 16,703 patients in the ESME database, 1977 had stage IV MBC at diagnosis, were alive and progression-free at 12 months and eligible for this study. Among them, 530 (26.8%) had received primary breast cancer surgery within 12 months. A greater proportion of patients who received surgery had less than 3 metastatic sites than the no-surgery group (90.8% vs 78.2%, P < 0.0001). Surgery within 12 months was associated with treatment with chemotherapy, HER2-targeted therapy (89.1% vs 69.6%, P < 0.0001) and locoregional radiotherapy (81.7% vs 32.5%, P < 0.0001). Multivariable analyses showed that surgery performed within 12 months was associated with longer OS and PFS (adjusted HR [95%CI] = 0.75 [0.61-0.92] and 0.72 [0.63-0.83], respectively), which were also affected by pattern and number of metastatic sites, histological subtype, and age. CONCLUSIONS In the large ESME cohort, surgery within 1 year after de novo MBC diagnosis was associated with a significantly better OS and PFS.

Abstract
Metastatic breast cancer (BC) is considered an incurable disease and is usually treated with palliative intent. However, about 50% of metastatic BCs present with only a few metastatic lesions and are characterized by longer overall survival. These patients, defined as oligometastatic, could benefit from a multimodal approach, which combines systemic therapy with metastasis-directed treatment (stereotactic ablative therapy or surgery). The current definition of oligometastatic seems incomplete since it is based only on imaging findings and does not include biological features, and the majority of relevant data supporting this strategy comes from retrospective or non-randomized studies. However, the chance of reaching long-term complete remission or even a cure has led to the development of randomized trials investigating the impact of combined treatment in oligometastatic BC (OMBC). The SABR-COMET trial, the first randomized study to include BC patients, showed promising results from a combination of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy and systemic therapy. Considering the randomized trial's results, multidisciplinary teams should be set up to select OMBC patients who could achieve long-term survival with aggressive multimodal treatment.

Abstract
UNLABELLED The optimal management in Oligometastatic (OM) breast carcinoma is not defined. OBJECTIVES To identify the prognostic factors influencing OM and the effect of Locoregional treatment (LRT) on survival in OM. METHODOLOGY Patients with ≤5 metastases and each with ≤ 5 cm size were defined as OM. Data of OM were extracted from the Institute Registry between 2012 and 2018. The impact of prognostic factors on survival was analysed by univariate and multivariate Cox regression. The Kaplan Meier survival curves were used to plot PFS and OS. RESULTS There were 170 patients with OM. The median follow-up was 61 months. Median OS was 43.3 months. The median OS was 74 months in OMD vs 22.7 months in Oligorecurrent disease (ORD) with 5year OS rate of 55.3% vs 16.5% respectively. In the multivariate analyses of OMD both Ki67 ≤ 50% and hormone therapy (HT) showed significant favourable survival outcome. While premenopausal status and HT showed significant survival benefits in ORD. The worse survival outcome in ORD could be because of their aggressive biology and deficit in LRT compared to literature review. The prognostic factors were swayed by the uneven distribution of HR status, grade and Ki67. CONCLUSION The survival of OM was influenced by OMD, Ki67 ≤ 50%, premenopausal status and HT. The lesser survival rates of OM in the long term suggest the need for curative LRT to metastatic sites and primary tumor. The potential role of HT and targeted therapy with or without LRT need to be assessed in future randomised trials.

Abstract
Simple Summary The imaging of oligometastatic disease (OMD) is challenging as it requires precise loco-regional staging and whole-body assessment. The combination of imaging modalities is often required. The more accurate imaging tool will be selected according to tumor type, the timing with regard to measurement and treatment, metastatic location, and the patient’s individual risk for metastasis. The most commonly used modalities are contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging and metabolic and receptor-specific imaging, particularly, 18F-fluorodesoxyglucose positron emission tomography/CT, used alone or in combination. Abstract Oligometastatic disease (OMD) is an emerging state of disease with limited metastatic tumor burden. It should be distinguished from polymetastatic disease due the potential curative therapeutic options of OMD. Imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with OMD. The imaging tools needed in the case of OMD will differ according to different parameters, which include primary tumor type, timing between measurement and treatment, potential metastatic location and the patient’s individual risk for metastasis. In this article, OMD is defined and the use of different imaging modalities in several oncologic situations are described in order to better understand OMD and its specific implication for radiologists.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer mortality has decreased due to improved screening and treatment options. Nevertheless, 25-30% of patients develop disease recurrence and die from the disease dissemination. Patients who develop metastatic disease represent a heterogeneous group and management plans are dependent on molecular subtype, disease burden and metastatic site. AIM To determine predictive clinicopathological factors of disease recurrence and their impact on survival in the molecular era. METHODS Consecutive patients who breast cancer developed recurrence at our tertiary referral centre between 2000 and 2015 were included. Clinicopathological and treatment data were assessed using descriptive statistics. Oncological outcome was assessed using Cox regression and Kaplan Meier analyses. RESULTS Two hundred sixty-five consecutive patients who developed breast cancer recurrence were included; median age at metastasis was 59.3 years (range 27-87 years), and median time to recurrence (TTR) was 47.7 ± 38.5 months (range 3.0-194.3 months). Survival was 24.2% (64/265) 53.2% were luminal A (LABC) (141/265), 18.5% were luminal B (LBBC) (49/265), 18.5% were triple negative (TNBC) (49/265), and 9.8% were human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 overexpressing (HER2 +) (26/265). TTR for patients with LABC was 56.0 ± 41.3 months, LBBC was 48.4 ± 41.1 months, TNBC was 26.9 ± 28.5 months and HER2 + was 34.3 ± 21.8 months. Increased grade (P < 0.001), Nottingham Prognostic Indices (P < 0.001), TNBC (P < 0.001), HER2 + subtype (P < 0.001) and receiving targeted therapy (P = 0.006) predicted shorted TTR. Estrogen receptor positivity (P < 0.001), progesterone receptor positivity (P = 0.010), invasive lobular carcinoma (P = 0.009) and receiving endocrine therapy (P = 0.001) predicted longer TTR. CONCLUSION Readily available clinicopathological factors predict risk of metastatic dissemination. Developing a tailored program to identify patients at risk of recurrence is crucial in controlling metastatic dissemination of breast cancer.

Abstract
In this study, we planned to investigate the clinical course of patients with breast cancer with oligometastatic bone disease (OMBD). The patients were grouped according to the characteristics and the sites of metastases. Group I included 928 patients without metastasis. Group II, the OMBD group, included 68 patients. Group III, the widespread metastasis group, comprised 185 patients with multiple bone metastases and/or solid organ metastases. The mean overall survival of the groups was 16.7 ± 0.3 years in group 1, and 7.8 ± 0.8 and 5.9 ± 0.4 years in groups 2 and 3, respectively (p < 0.001 for the comparison of all three groups together; p < 0.001 for group 1 vs. 2 and 3) and (p = 0.037 for group 2 vs. group 3). In the subgroup survival analysis of patients in group 2 (OMBD), the mean and median survival was 5.5 ± 0.8 and 4.0 ± 0.8 years vs. 9.2 ± 0.98 and 9.0 ± 1.05 years in patients with more than one bone metastasis and single bone metastasis, respectively (p = 0.019). OMBD seems to be a different disease than breast cancer with isolated bone metastases. The high risk of developing OMBD, especially following locoregional recurrence, increases the importance of locoregional therapy in large T and N stage tumors.

Abstract
Does oligometastatic breast cancer (OMBC) deserve a dedicated treatment? Although some authors recommend multidisciplinary management of OMBC with a curative intent, there is no evidence proving this strategy beneficial in the absence of a randomized trial. The existing literature sheds little light on OMBC. Incidence is unknown; data available are either obsolete or biased; there is no consensus on the definition of OMBC and metastatic sites, nor on necessary imaging techniques. However, certain proposals merit consideration. Knowledge of eventual specific OMBC biological characteristics is limited to circulating tumor cell (CTC) counts. Given the data available for other cancers, studies on microRNAs (miRNAs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) and genomic alterations should be developed Finally, safe and effective therapies do exist, but results of randomized trials will not be available for many years. Prospective observational cohort studies need to be implemented.

Clin Nucl Med 2021; 46:271-282.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the impact of 18F-FDG PET, PET/CT, and PET/MRI on staging and management during the initial staging of breast cancer. METHODS We searched the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed databases until March 2020 to identify studies that reported the proportion of breast cancer patients whose clinical stage or management were changed after PET scans. The proportion of changes was pooled using a random-effects model. Subgroup and metaregression analyses were performed to explore heterogeneity. RESULTS We included 29 studies (4276 patients). The pooled proportions of changes in stage and management were 25% (95% confidence interval [CI], 21%-30%) and 18% (95% CI, 14%-23%), respectively. When stage changes were stratified according to initial stage, the pooled proportions were 11% (95% CI, 3%-22%) in stage I, 20% (95% CI, 16%-24%) in stage II, and 34% (95% CI, 27%-42%) in stage III. The relative proportions of intermodality and intention-to-treat changes were 74% and 70%, respectively. Using metaregression analyses, the mean age and the proportion of initial stage III to IV and histologic grade II to III were significant factors affecting the heterogeneity in changes in stage or management. CONCLUSIONS Currently available literature suggests that the use of 18F-FDG PET, PET/CT, or PET/MRI leads to significant modification of staging and treatment in newly diagnosed breast cancer patients. Therefore, there may be a role for routine clinical use of PET imaging for the initial staging of breast cancer.

Abstract
Background To evaluate outcomes and survival rates in patients with metastatic adrenocortical carcinoma (ACC) who were treated with image‐guided locoregional treatments (IGLTs). Purpose To evaluate the overall survival (OS) and clinical impact of IGLT in the management of patients with advanced metastatic ACC. Methods Retrospective review of 39 patients treated with IGLT between 1999 and 2018 was performed. Short‐ and long‐term efficacy of treatments were defined based upon imaging and clinical data. Subgroup survival analysis was performed on patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis (N = 17) and compared with the same stage group from the most recent National Cancer Database (NCDB) report. Statistical analysis was performed using Cox proportional hazards model. Results Treatments were performed at different anatomic sites including liver (N = 46), lung (N = 14), retroperitoneum (N = 5), bone (N = 4), subcutaneous (N = 2), and intracaval (N = 1). Radiofrequency, microwave, cryoablation, or a combination of two modalities (45, 18, 3, 3, respectively) were used in 69 ablation sessions. Intra‐arterial procedures were performed in 12 patients in 18 treatment cycles (range 1–3 per patient). As of a 2019 analysis, 11 patients were alive with a mean follow‐up of 169 months (range 63–292 months) from diagnosis. Two‐ and 5‐year OS rates for all patients were 84.5% and 51%, respectively, and 76.5% and 59% for patients with metastatic disease at diagnosis (N = 17). This compares favorably with an NCDB report of 35% 5‐year survival rate for patients with metastatic disease. Female gender and longer time from diagnosis to first IGLT were found to be predictors of prolonged survival with hazard ratios of 0.23 (p < 0.001) and 0.66 (p = 0.001), respectively. Conclusion IGLT may be associated with prolonged life expectancy in select patients with metastatic ACC.

Role of locoregional surgery in patients with de novo stage IV breast cancer: analysis of real-world data from China. Sci Rep 2020; 10:18132.

Abstract
Stage IV breast cancer is metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Because real-world data are lacking in China, our research attempts to explore the effect of locoregional surgery on the prognosis of patients with MBC. A total of 987 patients from 10 hospitals and 2 databases in East China (2004–2018) were included in this study. Overall, 47% of patients underwent locoregional surgery, and 53% did not. Surgeons tended to perform surgery on patients with small tumours (T1/T2), positive hormone receptor (HR) markers, and metastatic sites confined to a single organ and non-visceral sites (bone only/others) (each p < 0.05). Kaplan–Meier survival curves and the log-rank test showed that median survival was longer for patients who had locoregional surgery than for those who did not (45.00 vs. 28.00 months; p < 0.001). Patients who underwent surgery after systemic treatment had better survival than those who underwent surgery immediately (p < 0.001). In most subgroups, overall survival (OS) was significantly longer in the surgery group than in the no-surgery group (each p < 0.05), except for brain metastases and triple negative breast cancer. Therefore, we concluded that locoregional surgery for the primary tumour in MBC patients was associated with a marked reduction in risk of dying except for patients with brain metastases or triple-negative subtype.

Abstract
We report on clinical outcomes in patients with oligometastatic uterine cancer treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Twenty-seven patients with 61 lesions were treated with SBRT. Median follow-up was 16.9 months. Local control was achieved in 49/61 (80.3%) lesions. One-year local-progression-free survival and overall survival were 75.9% and 65.4%. Lesions with favorable response were smaller than lesions with unfavorable response (p = .007). Liver lesions were less likely to achieve favorable response (p = .0128). There were no grade 3 or 4 events. Treatment with SBRT can provide excellent local control in oligometastatic uterine cancer with minimal toxicity.

Abstract
Recently, most bone cancers have shown a dismal prognosis even though they were managed with amputation. In the 1970s, anticancer drugs began to be used for bone tumor treatment as adjuvant agents, with the hope of survival improvement, while keeping the limb preserved. The 5-year survival of osteosarcoma patients increased up to 70% with anticancer chemotherapy and limb-salvage surgery. Limb salvage surgery includes all surgical procedures performed to accomplish resection of a malignant bone tumor and reconstruction of the skeletal system with an acceptable oncological and functional outcome. Currently, surgeons can choose a variety of reconstruction methods, including osteoarticular allograft, allograft-prosthesis composite, and metallic tumor endoprosthesis. However, complication rates are still high. The advancement of implant technology, adjuvant chemotherapy, and radiologic imaging modality has contributed to the evolution of limb salvage surgery. Nevertheless, there are still many barriers that have yet to be addressed to move further.

How Useful Are Tumor Markers in Detecting Metastases with FDG-PET/CT during Breast Cancer Surveillance? Oncology 2020; 98:714-718.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To assess the clinical usefulness of serum tumor markers for early detection of distant breast cancer recurrence using FDG-PET/CT. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 561 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for invasive primary breast cancer and had increased tumor markers (CA 15-3 and CEA) after completion of locoregional therapy. FDG-PET/CT data were reviewed for all cases. CA 15-3 and CEA were evaluated both in a continuous and in a quartile (Q) distribution. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test and logistic regression models were used to evaluate the association between increased tumor marker values and the presence (and type) of distant metastases. RESULTS The median value of CA 15-3 was 35.0 U/mL (IQR, 29.5-43.0) in cases where no distant metastases were detected, and it was 58.9 U/mL (IQR, 40.0-108.0) in cases where metastases were detected (p < 0.001). The median value of CEA was 6.6 U/mL (IQR, 4.4-10.0) in cases of no metastases and 12.4 U/mL (IQR, 6.9-30.0) in cases of metastases (p < 0.001). Increased levels of both tumor markers (Q3 and Q4) were strongly associated with the presence of distant metastases. The association between CA 15-3 and bone/liver metastases was stronger compared with other types of metastases (p heterogeneity between odds ratios [ORs] = 0.03 for Q3 and <0.001 for Q4), while no relevant heterogeneity between ORs emerged for CEA. CONCLUSION Increased tumor marker levels detected in asymptomatic breast cancer patients during adjuvant therapies and follow-up are significantly predictive of distant metastases identified on FDG-PET/CT.

The role of surgical intervention for isolated breast cancer liver metastasis: Results of case-control study with comparison to medical treatment. Cancer Med 2020; 9:4656-4666. [PMID: 32396284 PMCID: PMC7333858 DOI: 10.1002/cam4.3117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/03/2020] [Revised: 04/09/2020] [Accepted: 04/19/2020] [Indexed: 12/14/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Combined with systemic therapy, the surgical intervention for breast cancer liver metastases (BCLM) is increasingly accepted but lacks convincing evidence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the disease control efficacy of hepatic surgery in isolated BCLM patients. Methods Between 2012 and 2017, metastatic breast cancer patients with isolated liver metastasis and regular follow‐up were identified. Cohort design was conducted to compare the progression‐free survival (PFS) between the surgical and nonsurgical BCLM patients. Univariate analysis and multivariate Cox regression survival analyses were performed to identify significant prognostic factors. Result In all, 148 isolated BCLM patients were enrolled and 95 participants received hepatic surgery for metastatic lesions. With median follow‐up of 36.47 months, there was no significant difference between hepatic surgical group and nonsurgical group for PFS (median PFS: 11.17 months vs 10.10 m, P = .092). Based on the multivariate analysis, the disease‐free interval (DFI) was an independent prognostic factor for isolated BCLM patients. Among the surgical group, BCLM patients who had ideal response after first salvage systemic treatment experienced the best long‐term survival (median PFS: 14.20 months). Conclusion For isolated BCLM patients with ideal response in first‐line medical treatment, surgical intervention (hepatectomy, radiofrequency ablation) combining with systemic treatment could bring improved progression‐free survival compared to sole systemic treatment, indicating that hepatic surgery may be considered as a therapeutic choice for selected isolated BCLM patients in clinical practice.

Abstract
The debate about surgical resection of primary tumor (PT) in de novo metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patients persists. We explored this approach's outcomes in patients included in a retrospective registry, named El Álamo, of breast cancer patients diagnosed in Spain (1990-2001). In this analysis we only included de novo MBC patients, 1415 of whom met the study's criteria. Descriptive, Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses were carried out. Median age was 63.1 years, 49.2% of patients had single-organ metastasis (skin/soft tissue [16.3%], bone [33.8%], or viscera [48.3%]). PT surgery (S) was performed in 44.5% of the cases. S-group patients were younger, had smaller tumors, higher prevalence of bone and oligometastatic disease, and lower prevalence of visceral involvement. With a median follow-up of 23.3 months, overall survival (OS) was 39.6 versus 22.4 months (HR = 0.59, p < 0.0001) in the S- and non-S groups, respectively. The S-group OS benefit remained statistically and clinically significant regardless of metastatic location, histological type, histological grade, hormone receptor status and tumor size. PT surgery (versus no surgery) was associated with an OS benefit suggesting that loco-regional PT control may be considered in selected MBC patients. Data from randomized controlled trials are of utmost importance to confirm these results.

Radiation therapy for bone-only metastases in breast cancer patients: A GOCO survey of current clinical practice. Rep Pract Oncol Radiother 2019; 25:113-116.

Abstract
Introduction The role of radiation therapy (RT) for patients with bone-only metastatic (BOM) breast cancer has not been investigated sufficiently. The aim of this survey was to evaluate current clinical practice in treating breast cancer patients with BOM in Radiation Therapy Departments in Catalonia and Occitania within the scope of the GOCO group. Materials and methods An electronic questionnaire was completed by experienced radiation oncologists from fourteen RT centers. The items surveyed the professional experience, therapeutic approach, technique, dose stereotactic body RT (SBRT) availability. Results All Radiation Oncology Departments (ROD) in Catalonia (12) and Occitania (2) responded to the survey. Eleven (78.5%) of the RODs advise RT for BOM as initial treatment in the oligometastatic setting. RT to asymptomatic bone oligometastases is more often restricted for "risky lesions". The most inconsistent approaches were the treatment for asymptomatic lesions, when to treat bone metastases with respect to systemic treatment (ST) and the indication for RT after a complete response to ST. Conclusion While BOM breast cancer patients have a relatively good prognosis, there is a lack of consistency in their approach with RT. This can be explained by the absence of evidence-based guidelines and an incomplete availability of SBRT.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the safety and efficacy of Mitomycin C (MMC) infusion in a large cohort of advanced liver metastatic breast cancer patients (LMBC) and to determine factors influencing overall survival (OS). METHODS We retrospectively analysed LMBC patients, treated with MMC infusion between 2000 and 2017. Hepatic response was measured with baseline CT scans and first available CT scan after MMC infusion by RECIST 1.1 criteria. Adverse events were registered by the CTCAE version 5.0. OS and hepatic progression free survival (hPFS) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier estimates. After univariable analysis, a stepwise forward multivariable (MV) prediction analysis was developed to select independent pre-treatment factors associated with OS. RESULTS We included 176 patients with a total of 599 MMC infusions, mostly heavily pre-treated patients with a median time from diagnosis of MBC to MMC infusion of 36.9 months. RECIST evaluation of liver lesions (n = 132) showed a partial response rate of 15%, stable disease of 43% and progressive disease in 17%. Adverse events grade 3 and 4 were reported in 17.5%. Median PFS was 5.5 months and median OS was 7.8 months. Significant independent baseline predictors of worse OS included number of prior systemic chemotherapy lines, prior liver ablation, higher liver tumour burden and elevated levels of bilirubin and ALT. CONCLUSION MMC infusion is safe and effective in advanced LMBC patients. An increased number of prior therapies, a higher liver tumour burden and elevated levels of bilirubin and ALT were associated with a worse OS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous data showed that distant metastatic breast cancer (MBC) might be curable in up to 3% of the cases in selected patients, mostly young, with good performance status and with low-volume metastatic disease, mainly by an aggressive multidisciplinary approach including aggressive combination chemotherapy regimens. These long-lasting responses question the belief that MBC is wholly incurable. This study evaluates the rate of long-term survivors and potentially cured patients in an unselected cohort of MBC patients. METHODS We analyzed the data from 342 patients in whom distant MBC was diagnosed from 1990 to 2011. For this study, we defined a metastatic disease survival (MDS) of 9 years as inclusion criterion for long-term survivorship. RESULTS Eighteen patients (5.3%) were long-term survivors (MDS: 126 months; range, 108-300 months). The rate of long-term survivors was equally distributed over time (1990-1999: 4.3% vs. 2000-2011: 5.9%, p = 0.63). Compared to patients who had a lower MDS, long-term survivors had significantly more often primary MBC (p = 0.005) and hormone receptor-positive carcinomas (p = 0.015). Age at MBC diagnosis, presence of visceral metastases, and limited number of metastatic sites at the time of MBC diagnosis appeared to have no significant impact on long-term survival. Long-term survival was not associated with the use of chemotherapy (50.0% vs. 65.7% in the control group, p = 0.21). Eight patients (2.3%) developed a complete remission and presented with no evidence of disease at the time of last follow-up (MDS: 234.5 months). CONCLUSION Since long-term survivors in MBC comprise a relatively heterogeneous group, the factors that lead to the quite rare and felicitous case of long-term survival or even cure can hardly be evaluated systematically. Some patients may be considered cured of their disease. This fraction may be small, but the chance of survival, and even of cure, truly exists. Perhaps we must accept that the factors contributing to long-term survival remain an enigma. It appears, however, that aggressive chemotherapy is not the only key factor to long-term remission.

Abstract
Background Many factors influence bone metastases of lung cancer, and several studies report about survival of skeletal metastasis. However, few studies have focused on identifying the prognostic factors for skeletal metastasis of lung cancer, especially following orthopedic surgery. We conducted a retrospective analysis of the clinical characteristics of skeletal metastasis from lung cancer and discuss the prognostic factors. Methods We performed a medical record review of 202 patients who were diagnosed with skeletal metastasis from lung cancer. Adenocarcinoma was found in 116 patients (57.4%), squamous cell carcinoma in 29 (14.4%), small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) in 37 (18.7%), and large-cell carcinoma and other types of cancer in 20 patients (9.9%). Orthopedic surgery for skeletal metastasis was performed in 41 patients (20.3%). Results Lung cancer survival was 12.1 months. After diagnosis of lung cancer, skeletal metastasis was found at a mean of 2.5 months, and skeletal metastasis survival was 9.8 months. Lung cancer survival in patients younger than 60 years was 13.8 months, and lung cancer survival in patients 60 years or older was 10.8 months (p = 0.009). Skeletal metastasis survival in patients younger than 60 years was 11.0 months, and skeletal metastasis survival in patients 60 years or older was 8.8 months (p = 0.002). Mean skeletal metastasis survival with surgery was 12.6 months and without surgery was 9.1 months (p < 0.000). In the multivariate analysis of lung cancer survival, age under 60 years [HR (95% CI) 1.549 (1.122–2.139), p = 0.008], non-small cell lung cancer pathology type [HR (95% CI) 1.711 (1.157–2.532), p = 0.008], chemotherapy for skeletal metastasis [HR (95% CI) 8.064 (3.981–16.332), p < 0.000], and radiation therapy for skeletal metastasis [HR (95% CI) 1.791 (1.170–2.742), p = 0.007] were significant, independent, good prognostic factors. In the multivariate analysis of skeletal metastasis survival, age under 60 years [HR (95% CI) 1.549 (1.124–2.134), p = 0.007], non-small cell lung cancer pathology type [HR (95% CI) 2.045 (1.373–3.047), p < 0.000], chemotherapy for skeletal metastasis [HR (95% CI) 7.121 (3.542–14.317), p < 0.000], and orthopedic surgical treatment for skeletal metastasis [HR (95% CI) 1.710 (1.148–2.547), p = 0.008] were significant, independent, good prognostic factors. Conclusions Patients who survived longer were less than 60 years old, received chemotherapy as treatment for skeletal metastasis, had NSCLC rather than SCLC, and underwent orthopedic surgery for skeletal metastasis.

Oligometastatic breast cancer treated with hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy: Some patients survive longer than a decade. Radiother Oncol 2018; 131:45-51.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical state of oligometastases describes metastases limited in number and extent, amenable to metastasis-directed therapy. We sought to analyze long-term outcomes and characterize potential prognostic factors, in women with breast cancer (BC) oligometastases treated with hypofractionated stereotactic radiation (HSRT) therapy on a prospective phase II protocol. METHODS Forty-eight women with 1-5 extracranial BC oligometastases received HSRT to all radiographically apparent sites of disease. Various dose-fractionation schedules were used. Most (n = 27) received 10 daily fractions, typically ≥50 Gy (n = 17). RESULTS BC patients with bone-only oligometastases (BO, n = 12) vs. all other patients (non-BO; n = 36) were significantly younger, more likely to present with oligometastases at the time of primary BC diagnosis (i.e., synchronous), and significantly more likely to have had hormone receptor-positive disease. The 5-year and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates after HSRT were 83% and 75%, respectively, for BO patients vs. 31% and 17%, respectively, for non-BO patients (p = 0.002). BO patients experienced a significantly (p = 0.018) greater freedom from widespread metastases (FFWM). Among non-BO patients, net oligometastatic GTV >25 cc (reflecting disease burden) was a significant factor for freedom from local recurrence (p = 0.047) and FFWM (p = 0.028). The number of oligometastatic lesions (p = 0.007) and organs (p = 0.001) involved were also significant factors for FFWM in non-BO patients. CONCLUSIONS Some patients with BC oligometastases treated with HSRT can survive >10 years. Tumor burden (volume and number of lesions) appears to impact risk of recurrence. Further research is needed to help better identify BC patients most likely to benefit from metastasis-directed radiotherapy.

Abstract
Alteration of biomarkers is well-documented in breast cancer at locoregional recurrence or metastasis attributed to tumor heterogeneity and change in biology. There is a lack of literature on alteration of biomarkers in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) at progression. We included 32 patients of upfront MBC. Estrogen receptor, progesterone receptor, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2/neu documented at baseline and at progression. Median age was 46 (range 26-72) years. Estrogen receptor altered in 6 (18.75%) patients [4 (12.5%) positive to negative and 2 (6.25%) from negative to positive], progesterone receptor altered in 8 (25.3%) patients (6 [18.75%] positive to negative and 2 [6.25%] negative to positive) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2/neu altered in 5 (15.6%) patients (all were positive to negative). Therapy was changed as per new receptor status. Documentation of change in receptor status may be justified to determine further therapy and prognosis in MBC at progression.

[PMID: 31988964 PMCID: PMC6945973 DOI: 10.1159/000492929] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/04/2018] [Accepted: 08/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic breast cancer (MBC) represents a life-threatening disease with a median survival time of 18-24 months that often can only be treated palliatively. The majority of women suffering from MBC are those who had been previously diagnosed with locally advanced disease and subsequently experienced cancer recurrence in the form of metastasis. However, according to guidelines, no systemic follow-up for monitoring purposes is recommended for these women. The purpose of this article is to review current methods of recurrent risk assessment as well as non-invasive monitoring options for women at risk for distant disease relapse and metastasis formation. METHODS We used PubMed and national guidelines, such as the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), to find recently published studies on breast cancer recurrence risk assessment and systemic monitoring of breast cancer patients through non-invasive means. RESULTS The options for recurrence risk assessment of locally invasive breast cancer has improved due to diverse genetic tests, such as Oncotype DX, MammaPrint, the PAM50 (now known as the "Prosigna Test") assay, EndoPredict (EP), and the Breast Cancer Index (BCI), which evaluate a women's risk of relapse according to certain cancer-gene expression patterns. Different promising non-invasive urinary protein-based biomarkers with metastasis surveillance potential that have been identified are MMP-2, MMP-9, NGAL, and ADAM12. In particular, ααCTX, ββCTX, and NTX could help to monitor bone metastasis. CONCLUSION In times of improved recurrence risk assessment of women with breast cancer, non-invasive biomarkers are urgently needed as potential monitoring options for women who have an increased risk of recurrence. Urine as a bioliquid of choice provides several advantages - it is non-invasive, can be obtained easily and frequently, and is economical. Promising biomarkers that could help to follow up women with increased recurrence risk have been identified. In order for them to be implemented in clinical usage and national guideline recommendations, further validation in larger independent cohorts will be needed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bone metastases in breast cancer patients are a common clinical problem. Many factors influence the treatment decision, including tumor characteristics, previous treatment and tumor burden in the treatment of metastatic breast cancer. AREAS COVERED This present review summarizes the new treatment strategies and the chemotherapeutic agents currently available in the management of metastatic breast cancer with bone metastases. EXPERT OPINION Patients with bone metastases more often have hormone receptor-positive tumours. Although new treatment agents for metastatic breast cancer have been investigated, endocrine therapy is still considered as the treatment of choice for patients with bone metastases although chemotherapy still has an important place. In recent years, new chemotherapeutic agents such as etirinotecan and nab-paclitaxel have been established though there are few studies that have looked at particular types of metastases. In the last decade, therapies for bone metastasis resistant to endocrine therapy have predominantly focused on radiotherapy, surgical resection, chemotherapy, bone-targeting radiopharmaceuticals and targeted therapeutics. New targeted agents include: Src inhibitors, cathepsin K inhibitors, CXCR4 inhibitors, TGF-B blockade and integrin antagonists while drug delivery systems for chemotherapy have also been developed. These new treatment options could be future treatment options for bone metastatic disease if early promising results are confirmed by clinical trials.

Abstract
Couple of decades ago, Palliative Mastectomy for locally advanced breast cancers was common, if not frequent surgical procedure in the surgical armamentarium. The advent of better understanding of tumor biology and better multidisciplinary management has certainly narrowed down its role. However there are situations where it is still a potent option. In the subset of patients where palliative mastectomy is to be performed, it is important to aim for clear surgical margins, with good clearance at the third dimension, i.e. the tumor base. Surgeons with adequate experience of breast cancer surgeries should perform the procedure to achieve intended palliation.

Abstract
REVIEW QUESTION/OBJECTIVE The objective of this systematic review is to assess the effectiveness of aggressive treatment of oligometastatic breast cancer (OMBC) on survival outcomes by conducting a meta-analysis of current available evidence.More specifically, the objectives are to identify the effectiveness of intensified multidisciplinary treatment with aggressive locoregional therapies on survival time, five-year survival rates and disease free survival. The population is adult women (18 years and over) with OMBC defined as single or few (five or less) metastases limited to a single organ and the comparative group is conventional palliative treatment aimed at disease control. Secondary objectives to be assessed will be adverse outcomes associated with intensified treatment regimes.

Abstract
Introduction No effective treatment has been developed for bone-metastatic breast cancer. We found 3 cases with clinical complete response (cCR) of the bone metastasis and longer overall survival of the retrospectively examined cohort treated comprehensively including autologous formalin-fixed tumor vaccine (AFTV). Patients and Methods AFTV was prepared individually for each patient from their own formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded breast cancer tissues. Results Three patients maintained cCR status of the bone metastasis for 17 months or more. Rate of cCR for 1 year or more appeared to be 15% (3/20) after comprehensive treatments including AFTV. The median overall survival time (60.0 months) and the 3- to 8-year survival rates after diagnosis of bone metastasis were greater than those of historical control cohorts in Japan (1988-2002) and in the nationwide population-based cohort study of Denmark (1999-2007). Conclusion Bone-metastatic breast cancer may be curable after comprehensive treatments including AFTV, although larger scale clinical trial is required.

Abstract
Primary neuroendocrine breast carcinomas are rare and little-known tumors. Only a limited number of studies on neuroendocrine breast carcinomas have been reported in the literature, and the vast majority of them are small retrospective series or case reports. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), they account for only 2 % to 5 % of breast cancers. Their diagnosis relies on the presence of a neuroendocrine architecture and the expression of neuroendocrine markers (chromogranin A and/or synaptophysin). The revised 2012 WHO classification subdivides them into three categories: (i) well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas, (ii) poorly differentiated neuroendocrine carcinomas or small-cell carcinomas, and (iii) invasive breast carcinomas with neuroendocrine differentiation. Their clinical features and radiological characteristics are not different from those of other types of breast cancer. Because of discordant results, their clinical outcome is still poorly defined. So far, no standard treatment has been established, and most clinicians draw on their experience of invasive ductal cancer. The role of specific treatments like platinum-based chemotherapy, somatostatin analogues, peptide receptor radionucleide therapy or temozolomide remains unclear. A better knowledge of the molecular pathways involved in their carcinogenesis could help to identify new potential therapeutic targets. The efficacy of targeted therapies has to be studied.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic breast cancer is not a curable disease, but women with metastatic disease are living longer. Surgery to remove the primary tumour is associated with an increased survival in other types of metastatic cancer. Breast surgery is not standard treatment for metastatic disease, however several recent retrospective studies have suggested that breast surgery could increase the women's survival. These studies have methodological limitations including selection bias. A systematic review mapping all randomised controlled trials addressing the benefits and potential harms of breast surgery is ideal to answer this question. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of breast surgery in women with metastatic breast cancer. SEARCH METHODS We conducted searches using the MeSH terms 'breast neoplasms', 'mastectomy', and 'analysis, survival' in the following databases: the Cochrane Breast Cancer Specialised Register, CENTRAL, MEDLINE (by PubMed) and Embase (by OvidSP) on 22 February 2016. We also searched ClinicalTrials.gov (22 February 2016) and the WHO International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (24 February 2016). We conducted an additional search in the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) conference proceedings in July 2016 that included reference checking, citation searching, and contacting study authors to identify additional studies. SELECTION CRITERIA The inclusion criteria were randomised controlled trials of women with metastatic breast cancer at initial diagnosis comparing breast surgery plus systemic therapy versus systemic therapy alone. The primary outcomes were overall survival and quality of life. Secondary outcomes were progression-free survival (local and distant control), breast cancer-specific survival, and toxicity from local therapy. DATA COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS Two review authors independently conducted trial selection, data extraction, and 'Risk of bias' assessment (using Cochrane's 'Risk of bias' tool), which a third review author checked. We used the GRADE tool to assess the quality of the body of evidence. We used the risk ratio (RR) to measure the effect of treatment for dichotomous outcomes and the hazard ratio (HR) for time-to-event outcomes. We calculated 95% confidence intervals (CI) for these measures. We used the random-effects model, as we expected clinical or methodological heterogeneity, or both, among the included studies. MAIN RESULTS We included two trials enrolling 624 women in the review. It is uncertain whether breast surgery improves overall survival as the quality of the evidence has been assessed as very low (HR 0.83, 95% CI 0.53 to 1.31; 2 studies; 624 women). The two studies did not report quality of life. Breast surgery may improve local progression-free survival (HR 0.22, 95% CI 0.08 to 0.57; 2 studies; 607 women; low-quality evidence), while it probably worsened distant progression-free survival (HR 1.42, 95% CI 1.08 to 1.86; 1 study; 350 women; moderate-quality evidence). The two included studies did not measure breast cancer-specific survival. Toxicity from local therapy was reported by 30-day mortality and did not appear to differ between the two groups (RR 0.99, 95% CI 0.14 to 6.90; 1 study; 274 women; low-quality evidence). AUTHORS' CONCLUSIONS Based on existing evidence from two randomised clinical trials, it is not possible to make definitive conclusions on the benefits and risks of breast surgery associated with systemic treatment for women diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Until the ongoing clinical trials are finalised, the decision to perform breast surgery in these women should be individualised and shared between the physician and the patient considering the potential risks, benefits, and costs of each intervention.

Abstract
PURPOSE Survival of metastatic breast cancer (MBC) patient remains unknown and varies greatly from person to person. Thus, we aimed to construct a nomogram to quantify the survival probability of patients with MBC. Materials and Methods We had included 793 MBC patients and calculated trends of case fatality rate by Kaplan-Meier method and joinpoint regression. Six hundred thirty-four patients with MBC between January 2004 and July 2011 and 159 patients with MBC between August 2011 and July 2013 were assigned to training cohort and internal validation cohort, respectively. We constructed the nomogram based on the results of univariable and multivariable Cox regression analyses in the training cohort and validated the nomogram in the validation cohort. Concordance index and calibration curves were used to assess the effectiveness of nomogram. RESULTS Case fatality rate of MBC was increasing (annual percentage change [APC], 21.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.0 to 46.3; p < 0.05) in the first 18 months and then decreased (APC, ‒4.5; 95% CI, ‒8.2 to ‒0.7; p < 0.05). Metastasis-free interval, age, metastasis location, and hormone receptor status were independent prognostic factors and were included in the nomogram, which had a concordance index of 0.69 in the training cohort and 0.67 in the validation cohort. Calibration curves indicated good consistency between the two cohorts at 1 and 3 years. CONCLUSION In conclusion, the fatality risk of MBC was increasing and reached the summit between 13th and 18th month afterthe detection of MBC. We have developed and validated a nomogram to predict the 1- and 3-year survival probability in MBC.

Local High-Dose Radiotherapy Induces Systemic Immunomodulating Effects of Potential Therapeutic Relevance in Oligometastatic Breast Cancer. Front Immunol 2017; 8:1476.

Abstract
Local irradiation of cancer through radiotherapy can induce spontaneous regression of non-directly irradiated lesions, suggesting the involvement of systemic antitumor immune responses. In oligometastatic breast cancer (BC) patients, the use of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) favors the local control of treated lesions and may contribute to break local tolerance and release tumor-associated antigens (TAAs), improving host antitumor immunity. We performed a detailed immunomonitoring of BC patients undergoing SBRT to verify its ability to “switch on” the anti-tumor immunity both systemically, in peripheral blood, and locally, employing in vitro BC models. Twenty-one BC patients with ≤6 metastases were treated with 3 daily doses of 10 Gy with SBRT. Blood samples for immune profiling were collected before and after treatment. One month after treatment a third of patients displayed the boosting or even the de novo appearance of polyfunctional CD4+ and CD8+ T cell responses against known BC TAAs (survivin, mammaglobin-A, HER2), through intracellular staining in flow cytometry. Half of patients showed increased numbers of activated natural killer (NK) cells, measured with multispectral flow cytometry, immediately after the first dose of SBRT. Interestingly, high levels of activated NK cells at diagnosis correlated with a longer progression-free survival. BC in vitro models, treated with the same SBRT modality, showed enhanced expression of MHC class-I and class-II, major histocompatibility complex class I-related chain A/B, and Fas molecules, and increased release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-1β and TNF-α. Consistently, we noticed enhanced production of perforin by CD4+ T cells when patients’ lymphocytes were cultured in the presence of irradiated BC cell line, compared to untreated targets. Besides immunogenic effects, SBRT also enhanced the percentages of circulating regulatory T cells, and increased indoleamine 2,3 dioxygenase and PD-L1 expression in BC in vitro models. These results suggest that SBRT may boost host antitumor immune responses also in an advanced disease setting such as oligometastatic BC, by inducing immunomodulating effects both locally and systemically. However, the concomitant induction of immunosuppressive pathways suggests that a combination with immunotherapy could further enhance the in situ vaccination ability of radiotherapy, possibly further improving the curative potential of SBRT in this subset of patients.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) typically presents at an advanced stage, which is often felt to be incurable, and such patients are usually treated with a palliative approach. Accumulating retrospective and prospective clinical evidence, including a recently completed randomized trial, support the existence of an oligometastatic disease state wherein select individuals with advanced NSCLC may experience historically unprecedented prolonged survival with aggressive local treatments, consisting of radiotherapy and/or surgery, to limited sites of metastatic disease. This is reflected in the most recent AJCC staging subcategorizing metastatic disease into intra-thoracic (M1a), a single extra thoracic site (M1b), and more diffuse metastases (M1c). In the field of radiation oncology, recent technological advances have allowed for the delivery of very high, potentially ablative, doses of radiotherapy to both intra- and extra-cranial disease sites, referred to as stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiotherapy (or SABR), in much shorter time periods compared to conventional radiation and with minimal associated toxicity. At the same time, significant improvements in systemic therapy, including platinum-based doublet chemotherapy, molecular agents targeting oncogene-addicted NSCLC, and immunotherapy in the form of checkpoint inhibitors, have led to improved control of micro-metastatic disease and extended survival sparking newfound interest in combining these agents with ablative local therapies to provide additive, and in the case of radiation and immunotherapy, potentially synergistic, effects in order to further improve progression-free and overall survival. Currently, despite the tantalizing potential associated with aggressive local therapy in the setting of oligometastatic NSCLC, well-designed prospective randomized controlled trials sufficiently powered to detect and measure the possible added benefit afforded by this approach are desperately needed.

Abstract
Bone metastases of the long bones often lead to pain and pathological fractures. Local treatment consists of radiotherapy or surgery. Treatment strategies are strongly based on the risk of the fracture and expected survival. Diagnostic work-up consists of CT and biopsy for diagnosis of the primary tumour, bone scan or PET-CT for dissemination status, patient history and blood test for evaluation of general health, and biplanar radiograph or CT for evaluation of the involved bone. A bone lesion with an axial cortical involvement of >30 mm has a high risk of fracturing and should be stabilised surgically. Expected survival should be based on primary tumour type, performance score, and presence of visceral and cerebral metastases. Radiotherapy is the primary treatment for symptomatic lesions without risk of fracturing. The role of post-operative radiotherapy remains unclear. Main surgical treatment options consist of plate fixation, intramedullary nails and (endo) prosthesis. The choice of modality depends on the localisation, extent of involved bone, and expected survival. Adjuvant cement should be considered in large lesions for better stabilisation.

Abstract
The outcome of advanced breast cancer has significantly improved over recent decades. As a consequence, the complex needs of patients living with the disease and their care-givers should be addressed not only in terms of supportive and palliative care but also of "survivorship" requirements. The multidisciplinary approach to advanced breast cancer should encompass - early in the history of the disease - not only physical but also functional, social, psychological and spiritual domains. It is important to clearly define the disease context with patients and families ("chronic" preferred to "incurable"), addressing the concept of uncertainty, and tailoring the treatment strategy according to both disease status and individual priorities. Specific psychosocial needs of young and elderly women and male patients - i.e. social security, job flexibility, rehabilitation (including sexuality), home and child care - should be recognized and supported. This review will address the key questions associated with survivorship in this disease context, recognizing the dearth of specific data and the urgent need for targeted clinical research and tailored interventions.

Abstract
Purpose To report an analysis of treatment outcomes of a cohort of patients re-irradiated for locally recurrent refractory breast cancer (LRRBC) Patients and Methods Between 2008 and 2013, 47 women (mean age = 60 years) were re-irradiated for LRRBC. Outcomes were measured using Kaplan-Meier log rank to compare curves and Cox regression for multivariate analysis. Outcomes included overall survival (OS), time to re-treatment, survival without systemic progression, and survival without local recurrence. Results Fifty-six instances of re-irradiation were completed and analyzed. The mean cumulative 2 Gy equivalent dose (EQD2) to the whole breast and tumour cavity (α/β = 3) was 99.8 Gy and 109.1 Gy, respectively. Most patients initially had significant symptoms before RT due to local recurrence. The median time to re-treatment and to systemic failure was 41 and 50 months, respectively. Median follow-up for OS was 17 months and OS was 0.73 (SE = 0.07) at 1 year and 0.67 (SE = 0.07) at 2 years. Local control was 0.62 (SE = 0.07) and 0.5 (0.08) at 1 and 2 years, respectively. Acute radiation dermatitis was G1-2, G3 and G4 in 45, 4 and 1 cases, respectively. One patient presented with necrosis. The most common long term toxicity was G3 fibrosis (n = 4) and telangiectatic changes (n = 3). Multivariable analysis indicated that skin involvement (Hazard Ratio = 6.6 (1.4-31), p = 0.016) and time to local recurrence <2yr (HR 3.1 (1.04-9.7) p = 0.042) predicted local recurrence. Conclusion High dose re-irradiation is feasible for locally RRBC. This approach can have a significant benefit in this very high-risk group.

Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES An ever-expanding body of biological, genetic, and clinical evidence has brought to light the presence of the oligometastatic state of cancer, which is considered between localized disease and widespread metastases. Indeed, in some patients with oligometastatic disease, curative therapy is possible. CONCLUSIONS For select cancer histologies, aggressive focal therapy of oligometastatic lesions is already the clinical standard of care (i.e. colorectal cancer and sarcomas), while for other tumor types the evidence is still emerging (i.e. prostate, breast, etc.). It is increasingly important, therefore, for the radiologist interpreting oncology patients' staging or restaging examinations to be aware of those diseases for which targeted therapy of oligometastases may be undertaken to effectively guide such management. The improved imaging resolution provided by technological advances promise to aid in the detection of subtle sites of disease to ensure the identification of patients with oligometastases amenable to targeted treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Liver metastases from breast cancer (BCLM) confer poor survival. Liver resection in BCLM patients has been increasingly employed. AIM We undertook a systematic review to evaluate the role of hepatic resection in patients with breast cancer metastatic to the liver. MATERIALS & METHODS In total, 36 studies were overviewed. Patient populations, characteristics, morbidity, mortality and survival were documented. RESULTS Median overall survival was 41 months. Major morbidity was rare while 30-day postoperative mortality was near nil. CONCLUSION Liver surgery for BCLM can be performed with low mortality, acceptable morbidity and promising survival benefit in carefully selected patients.

Abstract
Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with metastases limited in site and number, termed oligometastases, may represent a unique subpopulation of advanced NSCLC with improved prognosis. The optimal management of these patients remains unclear with the treatment approach currently undergoing a paradigm shift. The potential benefit of aggressive metastasis directed local treatment with surgery and/or radiotherapy (RT) in combination with systemic therapy is bolstered predominantly by retrospective analyses but also by a growing number of non-randomized prospective studies regarding the use of ablative RT techniques including stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), alternatively termed stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR), directed at the primary tumor (if present) and all metastatic sites. Long-term survival is possible in a subset of patients treated aggressively in this manner. The challenge for the clinical oncology community moving forward is appropriately selecting patients for this treatment approach based on clinical, imaging, and molecular features and increasing enrollment of patients to prospective clinical trials to more definitively determine the added benefit and appropriate timing of aggressive metastasis directed therapy in the oligometastatic setting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Due to a more effective systemic therapy the survival of patients suffering from malignant tumors has been significantly improved but a longer life span is often associated with a higher incidence of osseous metastases. The majority of these metastases are localized in the spine causing pain, instability and neurological impairments. The interdisciplinary management of spinal metastases previously consisted of stabilization followed by fractionated external body radiation therapy. A reduction in procedural severity and morbidity as well as consideration of self-sufficiency and hospitalization time are important target parameters for these palliative patients. METHOD AND RESULTS Kyphoplasty combined with intraoperative radiotherapy (Kypho-IORT) is one of several modern treatment options, which involves a minimally invasive procedure with local high-dose transpedicular irradiation of the spine with low-energy (50 kV) X-rays. Immediately following irradiation, stabilization of the spine is carried out using kyphoplasty via the same access route so that a single stage procedure with excellent pain reduction and good local tumor control can be achieved. This article presents clinical data for this procedure and the different fields of indications are critically reviewed and compared to other therapy options. Methodological improvements and options for further individualization of therapy are demonstrated. CONCLUSION The Kypho-IORT procedure is a safe, feasible and beneficial modern treatment option for instant stabilization and local tumor control in patients with spinal metastases. More than 100 operations have been successfully performed so that the method can be deemed suitable for inclusion in the clinical routine. A phase II dose escalation study has now been completed and submitted for publication and a 2-arm non-inferiority trial (phase III study) for comparison with conventional irradiation is in progress.
