Abstract 1457P
Background
Oligometastatic (OMD) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a distinct but heterogeneous entity. Current guidelines recommend locally ablative therapy if technically feasible. Still, evidence is lacking to guide the choice of optimal multimodal treatment approaches and their impact on clinical endpoints.
Methods
Electronic medical records and clinical databases (years 2004 – 2022) from two major German comprehensive cancer centers were searched for cases with OMD NSCLC and treatment patterns. Prespecified OMD criteria included presence of ≤5 metastases in ≤2 organ systems, excluding primary tumor and mediastinal lymph nodes. Endpoints of this retrospective analysis were overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS, first-line therapy until recurrence) and time-to-treatment failure (TTF).
Results
A total of 207 patients with OMD NSCLC were identified (46.9% female; median age 60.8; median follow-up 32 months; T1-2 vs. T3-4 51%/49%, N0-1 vs. N2-3 48%/52%, M1a 10.7%, metastases in one organ system 89.7% vs. multiple 10.3%). A dedicated OMD treatment strategy was explicitly specified in 164 patients (79.2%). Locally ablative therapy was applied to all tumor sites in 140 patients (67.6%), including radiotherapy (85%) and/or surgery (73.6%). Median OS of the full analysis cohort was 27.7 months, with 27.2% OS at 5 years. Median OS in patients receiving locally ablative therapy to all NSCLC sites amounted to 33.4 months (5y rate 35.7%) with a median DFS of 10.6 months (11.2% at 5y). First-line therapy included systemic therapy in 167 patients (80.7%), which was associated with doubling of DFS (median 12.2 vs. 6.0 months, p<0.001), and a trend towards improved OS. First-line chemoimmunotherapy was only approved in 2018/2019, thus limiting follow-up in this subgroup. Nevertheless, DFS (HR 0.5, p=0.025, 2y rate 46% vs. 15%) and TTF (HR 0.45, p<0.001) were greatly improved with first-line chemoimmunotherapy vs. chemotherapy.
Conclusions
Patients with OMD NSCLC benefit from multimodality approaches integrating systemic therapy and local ablation of all cancer sites. Although true freedom from recurrence is rare, extended OS can be achieved in a substantial fraction of patients.
