Abstract
The aim of this work is to establish recommendations for the preoperative evaluation and selection of patients with malignant oesophageal neoplasms, who are candidates for surgical resection with curative intent, based on the consensus established by a group of experts. Using the Delphi methodology and after 2 rounds of evaluation, responses were obtained from 37 experts to 47 questions about the preoperative management of oesophageal cancer, considering consensus if there was a mean score greater than 8 (range between 0-10). Of the respondents, 54% were women, with a mean age of 50.2 years, with more than 15 years of average experience in oesophageal surgery. In the preoperative evaluation, agreement was obtained on most of the recommendations, with the indication of a staging laparoscopy being the only one where it was not reached. In the preoperative optimisation, agreement was reached on nutritional, anaemia, physical status, respiratory and comorbidities evaluation, but no agreement was reached on recommending immunonutrition or echocardiography routinely. In the inoperability criteria were included ECOG greater than 1, impaired lung function, and/or Child B or C liver cirrhosis. Agreement was reached on considering unresectable tumours with invasion of the tracheobronchial tract, large vessels, and spinal column, multivisceral metastases, and/or peritoneal carcinomatosis. Therefore, the recommendations established in this manuscript may be useful to support decision-making in daily clinical practice, with a high degree of consensus that decisions regarding the management of these patients should be made on an individual basis and within a multidisciplinary committee of experts.

Abstract
Half of the patients with esophageal cancer, cancer of the gastro-esophageal junction and gastric cancer present metastasis at the time of diagnosis. In addition, even patients originally thought to be free of metastasis will present metachronous metastasis in the course of the disease. These patients are considered incurable and current standard of care for metastatic esophageal, gastro-esophageal junction and gastric cancers is a systemic therapy without curative intention. However, patients presenting only a low metastatic load are now defined as oligometastatic disease and should benefit from an aggressive, multimodal therapy. We present here a review of recent publications investigating multimodal therapies for oligometastatic disease and showing that a systemic therapy combined with a resection of the primary tumor together with metastasis is associated with a better prognosis than a systemic therapy alone. We also give a precise focus on esophageal squamous cell carcinomas and adenocarcinomas of the gastro-esophageal junction and of the stomach. Interestingly, patients with oligometastatic cancer of the esophago-gastric junction can even be treated in curative intention with such a multimodal therapy as we present here in a short case report. In conclusion, new therapeutic strategies including multimodal approaches for oligometastatic disease have shown promising results in the last years and ongoing randomized prospective trials will provide us the evidence to include them in future European guidelines.

Abstract
PURPOSE Oligometastatic gastroesophageal cancer is a clinical entity with no standard treatment recommendation. Treatment with curative intent has recently emerged as an option for selected patients in contrast to the traditional palliative treatment strategy. This prospective study aimed to assess the safety and efficacy of combined systemic and local treatment with curative intent for patients with oligometastatic gastroesophageal cancer. METHODS In a multicenter study, consecutive patients with gastroesophageal cancer and metastases in the liver and/or extra-regional lymph nodes were screened for inclusion. Eligible patients were offered curatively intended perioperative chemotherapy followed by surgical resection or liver ablation. Primary endpoints were treatment safety and feasibility. Secondary outcomes included postoperative mortality, treatment response, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Subgroup analyses were stratified based on oligometastatic location. RESULTS A total of 29 (82.9%) patients completed treatment with surgical resection (93.1%), liver ablation (3.4%), or definitive chemoradiotherapy (3.4%). Postoperative complications were found in 19 (73.1%) patients, whereas postoperative mortality was 0%. The most common complications included infection (34.6%) and respiratory complications (34.6%). Median overall survival was 20.9 months (interquartile range 11.2-42.6) from diagnosis and 17.0 months (interquartile range 6.4-35.9) from surgery in patients who were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery. Median progression-free survival was 5.8 months (interquartile range 3.1-11.3). CONCLUSION This study found curative treatment to be a relatively safe option, with an overall survival of 20.8 months and no postoperative mortality.

Ther Adv Med Oncol 2024; 16:17588359241297092. [PMID: 39563718 PMCID: PMC11574897 DOI: 10.1177/17588359241297092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 10/14/2024] [Indexed: 11/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background There are currently limited real-world data on the effectiveness and safety of first-line pembrolizumab combined with chemotherapy in patients with advanced/recurrent or metastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in China. This study was conducted to address this knowledge gap. Methods This multicenter retrospective cohort study was conducted at 17 hospitals in China and included adults (⩾18 years) with stage IV primary ESCC, or recurring 6 months after radical radiotherapy/surgery-based combination therapy, who had received first-line pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy. Data were collected from electronic medical records. Endpoints included objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR) progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety. Subgroup analyses were conducted to identify patient characteristics and treatment patterns associated with treatment response. Results In total, 202 patients who had received treatment from 2018 to 2023 were included: 125 (61.9%) newly diagnosed and 77 (38.1%) with recurrence, 181 (89.1%) were male. Pembrolizumab was most commonly combined with paclitaxel + platinum (69.8%) or fluorouracil + platinum (19.3%). After a median follow-up of 22.6 months (95% confidence interval (CI) 20.1-25.4), the ORR and DCR were 60.9% and 87.6% and the median PFS and OS were 10.8 months (95% CI 9.1-13.5) and 17.3 months (95% CI 14.9-19.9), respectively. OS was similar in patients with treatment-naïve and recurrent disease. Among the combination chemotherapy regimens, paclitaxel + platinum was associated with the longest median OS (18.2 months, 95% CI 16.1-22.5). Favorable survival outcomes were observed in patients with oligometastases. No new safety signals were observed. Conclusion These real-world data indicate that the first-line treatment with pembrolizumab plus chemotherapy is effective and safe in Chinese patients with advanced ESCC and show that paclitaxel + platinum is the most commonly used and most effective partner chemotherapy in China.

Abstract
Aims Multidisciplinary tumor boards (MDTs) are an integral part of ensuring high-quality, evidence-based and personalized cancer care. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the adherence to and implementation of MDT recommendations in patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD). Methods We screened all oncologic positron emission tomography (PET) scans conducted at a single comprehensive cancer center in 2020. Patients were included if they had evidence of imaging-based OMD from a solid organ malignancy on the index scans, had their OMD case discussed at an MDT, and were treated and followed up at the same center. A switch away from the MDT-recommended treatment modalities was classified as a major deviation; non-MDT-mandated adjustments to a recommended treatment modality were coded as minor deviation. Clinical data was obtained via chart review; statistical calculations were computed using the R software. Results After review of PET and/or concurrent brain scans, 787 cases of OMD were identified. Thereof, 347 (44.1 %) cases were discussed at MDT, of which 331 (42.1 %) were therapeutically managed and subsequently followed. The three most commonly recommended therapies were systemic therapy (35.6 %), multimodality treatment including definitive local therapy (17.8 %), and radiotherapy (13.9 %). A major deviation was recorded in 16.3 % of cases (most commonly: none of the MDT-recommended treatment modalities were performed: 19 (35.2 %); not all MDT-planned treatment modalities were performed: 12 (22.2 %); and additional treatment modality was performed: 11 (20.3 %). A minor deviation was found in 1.5 % of cases. On multivariable regression, number of distant metastases (n > 1) was associated with a major deviation (OR: 1.85; 95 % CI, 1.0-3.52). Major deviations were associated with a significantly worse OS (p = 0.0034). Conclusions Adherence to and implementation of MDT recommendations in OMD patients was generally high (83.7%). Major deviations might be further reduced by more careful and elaborate discussions of OMD patient characteristics s and patient preferences.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A retrospective single-center analysis of the safety and efficacy of reirradiation to 40 Gy in 5 fractions (reSBRT) in patients previously treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy to the spine was performed. METHODS We identified 102 consecutive patients treated with reSBRT for 105 lesions between 3/2013 and 8/2021. Sixty-three patients (61.8%) were treated to the same vertebral level, and 39 (38.2%) to overlapping immediately adjacent levels. Local control was defined as the absence of progression within the treated target volume. The probability of local progression was estimated using a cumulative incidence curve. Death without local progression was considered a competing risk. RESULTS Most patients had extensive metastatic disease (54.9%) and were treated to the thoracic spine (53.8%). The most common regimen in the first course of stereotactic body radiotherapy was 27 Gy in 3 fractions, and the median time to reSBRT was 16.4 months. At the time of simulation, 44% of lesions had advanced epidural disease. Accordingly, 80% had myelogram simulations. Both the vertebral body and posterior elements were treated in 86% of lesions. At a median follow-up time of 13.2 months, local failure occurred in 10 lesions (9.5%). The 6- and 12-month cumulative incidences of local failure were 4.8% and 6%, respectively. Seven patients developed radiation-related neuropathy, and 1 patient developed myelopathy. The vertebral compression fracture rate was 16.7%. CONCLUSION In patients with extensive disease involvement, reSBRT of spine metastases with 40 Gy in 5 fractions seems to be safe and effective. Prospective trials are needed to determine the optimal dose and fractionation in this clinical scenario.

Abstract
The prognosis of metastatic esophageal cancer (EC) remains poor with an average life expectancy of around 9-12 months with standard systemic chemotherapy. The concept of oligometastatic disease (OMD) in EC cancer is controversial with no universally accepted definition. From the original cohort of metastatic oesophago-gastric (OG) cancer patients, 4 cases were identified that developed unusually favourable outcome with long-term survival and probable cure. In retrospect, all patients had OMD at presentation with striking similarities in terms of their clinical presentation, staging, treatment response and outcomes. All patients presented with locally advanced EC and 1-2 areas of metastatic disease (bone, lung, non-regional lymph node (LN) involvement). All were treated with combined therapeutic strategy using initial systemic chemotherapy followed by local radiotherapy to primary tumor and adjacent areas of visible/residual metastatic disease (metastasis-directed therapy). All patients experienced long-term survival (range = 7-13 years) with no evidence of recurrence and probable cure. The present case series adds to the growing pool of evidence indicating OM EC cancer represents a distinct and prognostically favorable subgroup.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The OligoMetastatic Esophagogastric Cancer (OMEC) project aims to provide clinical practice guidelines for the definition, diagnosis, and treatment of esophagogastric oligometastatic disease (OMD). METHODS Guidelines were developed according to AGREE II and GRADE principles. Guidelines were based on a systematic review (OMEC-1), clinical case discussions (OMEC-2), and a Delphi consensus study (OMEC-3) by 49 European expert centers for esophagogastric cancer. OMEC identified patients for whom the term OMD is considered or could be considered. Disease-free interval (DFI) was defined as the time between primary tumor treatment and detection of OMD. RESULTS Moderate to high quality of evidence was found (i.e. 1 randomized and 4 non-randomized phase II trials) resulting in moderate recommendations. OMD is considered in esophagogastric cancer patients with 1 organ with ≤ 3 metastases or 1 involved extra-regional lymph node station. In addition, OMD continues to be considered in patients with OMD without progression in number of metastases after systemic therapy. 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging is recommended for baseline staging and for restaging after systemic therapy when local treatment is considered. For patients with synchronous OMD or metachronous OMD and a DFI ≤ 2 years, recommended treatment consists of systemic therapy followed by restaging to assess suitability for local treatment. For patients with metachronous OMD and DFI > 2 years, upfront local treatment is additionally recommended. DISCUSSION These multidisciplinary European clinical practice guidelines for the uniform definition, diagnosis and treatment of esophagogastric OMD can be used to standardize inclusion criteria in future clinical trials and to reduce variation in treatment.

Abstract
The surgical options and particularly perioperative treatment, have significantly advanced in the case of gastroesophageal cancer. This progress enables a 5-year survival rate of nearly 50% to be achieved through curative multimodal treatment concepts for locally advanced cancer. Therefore, in tumor boards and surgical case discussions the question increasingly arises regarding the type of treatment that provides optimal oncological and functional outcomes for individual patients with pre-existing diseases. It is therefore essential to carefully assess whether organ-preserving treatment might also be considered in the future or in what way minimally invasive or robotic surgery can offer advantages. Simultaneously, the boundaries of surgical and oncological treatment are currently being shifted in order to enable curative forms of treatment for patients with pre-existing conditions or those with oligometastatic diseases. With the integration of artificial intelligence into decision-making processes, new possibilities for information processing are increasingly becoming available to incorporate even more data into making decisions in the future.

Abstract
Super-extended (D2plus) lymphadenectomy after chemotherapy has been reported in only a few studies. This retrospective study evaluates survival outcomes in a Western cohort of locally advanced or oligometastatic gastric cancer patients who underwent D2plus lymphadenectomy after neoadjuvant chemotherapy. A total of 97 patients treated between 2010 and 2022 were included. Of these, 62 had clinical stage II/III disease, and 35 had stage IV disease. Most patients (65%) received preoperative DOC/FLOT chemotherapy. The mean number of lymph nodes harvested was 39. Pathological positive nodes in the posterior/para-aortic stations occurred in 17 (17.5%) patients. Lymphovascular invasion, ypN stage, clinical stage, and perineural invasion were predictive factors for positive posterior/para-aortic nodes. Postoperative complications occurred in 21 patients, whereas severe complications (grade III or more) occurred in 9 cases (9.3%). Mortality rate was 1%. Median overall survival (OS) was 59 months (95% CI: 13-106), with a five-year survival rate of 49 ± 6%; the five-year OS after R0 surgery was 60 ± 7%. In patients with positive posterior/para-aortic nodes, the median OS was 15 months (95% CI: 13-18). D2plus lymphadenectomy after chemotherapy for locally advanced or oligometastatic gastric cancer is feasible and associated with low morbidity/mortality rates. The incidence of pathological metastases in posterior/para-aortic nodes is not negligible even after systemic chemotherapy, with poor long-term survival.

[PMID: 38398190 PMCID: PMC10887104 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16040797] [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: 01/15/2024] [Revised: 02/02/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Approximately 10-12% of patients with oesophageal or gastric cancer (OGC) present with oligometastatic disease at diagnosis. It remains unclear if there is a role for radical surgery in these patients. We aimed to assess the outcomes of OGC patients who underwent simultaneous treatment for the primary tumour and synchronous liver metastases. Patients with OGC who underwent surgical treatment between 2008 and 2020 for the primary tumour and up to five synchronous liver metastases aiming for complete tumour removal or ablation (i.e., no residual tumour) were identified from four institutional databases. The primary outcome was overall survival (OS), calculated with the Kaplan-Meier method. Secondary outcomes were disease-free survival and postoperative outcomes. Thirty-one patients were included, with complete follow-up data for 30 patients. Twenty-six patients (84%) received neoadjuvant therapy followed by response evaluation. Median OS was 21 months [IQR 9-36] with 2- and 5-year survival rates of 43% and 30%, respectively. While disease recurred in 80% of patients (20 of 25 patients) after radical resection, patients with a solitary liver metastasis had a median OS of 34 months. The number of liver metastases was a prognostic factor for OS (solitary metastasis aHR 0.330; p-value = 0.025). Thirty-day mortality was zero and complications occurred in 55% of patients. Long-term survival can be achieved in well-selected patients who undergo surgical resection of the primary tumour and local treatment of synchronous liver metastases. In particular, patients with a solitary liver metastasis seem to have a favourable prognosis.

Abstract
The management of patients with brain oligometastases is complex and relies on specific reasoning compared to extracranial oligometastases. The levels of evidence are still low because patients with brain oligometastases are frequently excluded from randomized clinical trials. Stereotactic radiotherapy should be preferred in this indication over whole brain irradiation, both for patients with metastases in place and for those who have undergone surgery. The decision of local treatment and its timing must be a multidisciplinary reflection taking into account the histological and molecular characteristics of the tumor as well as the intracranial efficacy of the prescribed systemic treatments. Great caution must be observed when using stereotactic radiotherapy and concomitant systemic treatments because interactions are still poorly documented. We present the recommendations of the French society of radiation oncology on the management of brain oligometastatic patients with radiotherapy.

Abstract
Aim While surgery is essential for curative treatment of gastric cancer with oligometastasis, its target, timing, and possibility of combination with other treatments are unclear. We herein investigated the clinical course and long-term outcomes of gastric cancer with oligometastasis in the real world setting to determine the optimal therapeutic strategy. Methods The present study retrospectively analyzed 992 patients who received any treatment for metastatic or recurrent gastric adenocarcinoma at Tokyo Metropolitan Komagome Hospital between 2007 and 2019. Oligometastasis was defined as any one of the following: liver metastases (HEP) <3; lung metastases (PUL) <3; unilateral adrenal gland metastasis (ADR); para-aortic lymph node metastasis (PALN); or one, distant, lymph node metastasis, excluding the regional lymph nodes (LYM). Overall survival was compared by the characteristics and treatments for the oligometastasis, and univariate and multivariate analyses were used to identify the prognostic factors of overall survival. Results Ninety-seven patients (9.8%) with the following metastasis sites were enrolled: HEP (n = 27), PUL (n = 2), ADR (n = 3), PALN (n = 55), and LYM (n = 10). The median survival time of the cohort was 22.8 months, and the five-year overall survival rate was 28.4%. On multivariate analysis, chemotherapy for the initial treatment (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.438; p = 0.048), distal gastrectomy and/or metastasectomy (HR: 0.290; p = 0.001), and R0 resection (HR: 0.373; p = 0.005) were identified as independent, positive factors of overall survival. Conclusion The long-term outcomes of gastric cancer in patients with oligometastasis may improve if treatment is begun with chemotherapy rather than surgery.

Abstract
This article describes the process of multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion and comprehensive treatment of a case of advanced gastric cancer that tested positive for programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1). During diagnosis, the patient presented with advanced gastric cancer and numerous unresectable metastases in the lesser omental lymph nodes, both lungs, liver, and left parietal occipital lobe. A meeting was arranged for the departments of oncology, gastrointestinal surgery, radiotherapy, imaging, and pathology to discuss the case. Initially, the patient had a partial response to the first-line treatment, which was a combination of pembrolizumab and chemotherapy. However, after nineteen months, the patient presented with a metachronous isolated lesion in the left frontal lobe. After mutual agreement among the oncology, brain surgery, gastrointestinal surgery, radiotherapy, imaging, and pathology departments, the intracranial lesion underwent resection. Following this, the operation was supplemented by stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) and whole-brain radiation therapy (WBRT). The patient showed excellent signs of recovery after the operation, and her general condition remained favorable after 16 months of follow-up. Nonetheless, the outlook for patients facing advanced-stage gastric cancer remains distressing. Through multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussions, patients diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer can receive standardized diagnostic and treatment approaches to develop reasonable and personalized comprehensive treatment plans. Such plans help to improve the quality of life of patients and effectively prolong their survival time.

Abstract
Metastatic gastric cancer traditionally hinders surgical treatment options, confining them to palliative procedures. The presence of metastases in these tumors is classified as M1, irrespective of their characteristics, quantity, or location. However, oligometastatic disease emerged as an intermediate state between localized and widely disseminated cancer. It exhibits diverse patterns based on metastatic disease extent, type, and location. Adequately addressing this distinctive metastatic state necessitates tailored strategies that surpass the realm of palliative care. Differentprimary tumor types present discernible scenarios of oligometastatic disease, including preferred sites of occurrence and chronological progression. Due to the novelty of this theme and the heterogeneity of the disease, uncertainties still exist, and the ability to provide confident guidelines is challenging. Currently, there are no effective predictors to determine the response and provide clear indications for surgical interventions and systemic treatments in oligometastatic disease. Treatment decisions are commonly based on apparent disease control by systemic therapies, with a short observation period and imaging assessments. Nonetheless, the inherent risk of misinterpretation remains a constant concern. The emergence of novel technologies and therapeutic modalities, such as immunotherapy, cellular therapy, and adoptive therapies, holds the potential to reshape the landscape of surgical treatment for the oligometastatic disease in gastric cancer, expanding the surgeon's role in this multidisciplinary approach. Prospective tools for patient selection in oligometastatic gastric cancer are being explored. Using non-invasive, cost-effective, widely available imaging techniques that provide real-time information may revolutionize medical practice, ensuring precision medicine accessibility, even in resource-constrained small healthcare facilities. Incorporating molecular classifications, liquid biopsies, and radiomic analysis in a complementary protocol will augment patient selection precision for surgical intervention in oligometastasis. Hopefully, these advancements will render surgeries unnecessary in many cases by providing highly effective alternative treatments.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Whether supraclavicular lymph node (SCLN) metastasis in patients with oesophageal cancer belongs to regional disease is controversial, leading to heterogeneity in clinical treatment decisions. This study aimed to determine the optimal treatment for lower thoracic oesophageal cancer (LTOC) with SCLN metastasis. METHODS Patients with LTOC registered in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database during 2010-2015 were identified. Selected patients were grouped according to disease spread as those with locoregional disease, with SCLN metastasis or with distant metastasis, as well as according to treatment modality (neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery (nCRT+S group), upfront surgery ± adjuvant therapy (upfront S group) and definitive chemoradiotherapy (dCRT group)). The Cox regression analysis and inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) were used to identify the optimal treatment modality for different groups. RESULTS Of 11,767 LTOC patients identified from the database, the 5-year overall survival (OS) rates for patients with the locoregional disease (n = 7,541), SCLN metastasis (n = 120) and distant metastasis (n = 4,106) were 28.3%, 10.0% and 3.0%, respectively (P < 0.001). Among patients with SCLN metastasis, median OS in the nCRT+S, upfront S and dCRT groups were 25, 14 and 8 months, respectively (P < 0.001). After IPTW, the nCRT+S group was still associated with better median OS compared with other groups. The multivariate analysis identified treatment modality as an independent prognostic factor for OS. CONCLUSIONS Neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by oesophagectomy may be the optimal treatment modality for LTOC with SCLN metastasis. The findings of this study need to be validated in large prospective studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The study of oligometastatic esophageal cancer (EC) is relatively new. Preliminary data suggests that more aggressive treatment regimens in select patients may improve survival rates in oligometastatic EC. However, the consensus recommends palliative treatment. We hypothesized that oligometastatic esophageal cancer patients treated with a definitive approach (chemoradiotherapy [CRT]) would have improved overall survival (OS) compared to those treated with a purely palliative intent and historical controls. METHODS Patients diagnosed with synchronous oligometastatic (any histology, ≤5 metastatic foci) esophageal cancer treated in a single academic hospital were retrospectively analyzed and divided into definitive and palliative treatment groups. Definitive CRT was defined as radiation therapy to the primary site with ≥40 Gy and ≥2 cycles of chemotherapy. RESULTS Of 78 Stage IVB (AJCC 8th ed.) patients, 36 met the pre-specified oligometastatic definition. Of these, 19 received definitive CRT, and 17 received palliative treatment. With a median follow-up of 16.5 months (Range: 2.3-95.0 months), median OS for definitive CRT and palliative groups were 90.2 and 8.1 months (p < 0.01), translating into 5-year OS of 50.5% (95%CI: 32.0-79.8%) vs. 7.5% (95%CI: 1.7-48.9%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Oligometastatic EC patients treated with definitive CRT benefited from that approach with survival rates (50.5%) that vastly exceeded historical standards of 5% at 5 years for metastatic EC. Oligometastatic EC patients treated with definitive CRT had significantly improved OS compared to those treated with palliative-only intent within our cohort. Notably, definitively treated patients were generally younger and with better performance status versus those palliatively treated. Further prospective evaluation of definitive CRT for oligometastatic EC is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical results and prognostic factors in a cohort of patient with oligometastatic esophagogastric adenocarcinoma treated with stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT). METHODS This retrospective study included patients affected by 1-3 metastases treated with SRT from 2013 to 2021. Local control (LC), overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), time to polymetastatic dissemination (TTPD) and time to systemic therapy change/initiation (TTS) were evaluated. RESULTS Between 2013 and 2021, 55 patients were treated with SRT on 80 oligometastatic sites. Median follow-up was 20 months. Nine patients had local progression. 1 and 3 years LC was respectively 92 and 78%. 41 patients experienced further distant disease progression, median PFS was 9.6 months, 1 and 3 years PFS was respectively 40 and 15%. 34 patients died, median OS was 26.6 months, 1 and 3 years OS was respectively 78 and 40%. During follow-up, 24 patients changed or initiated a new systemic therapy; median TTS time was 9 months. 27 patients experienced poliprogression, 44% after 1 year and 52% after 3 years. Median TTPD was 8 months. The best local response (LR), tyming of metastases and PS were related with prolonged PFS on multivariate analysis. LR was correlated with OS at multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION SRT represents a valid treatment for oligometastatic esophagogastric adenocarcinoma. CR correlated with PFS and OS, while metachronous metastasis and a good PS correlated with a better PFS. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE In selected gastroesopagheal oligometastatic patients, SRT can prolong OS Local response to SRT, metachronous timing of metastases and better PS improve PFS.Local response correlates with OS.

Abstract
Stomach cancer is an aggressive disease and represents a global health problem. The majority of patients with localised disease present with locally advanced cancer that requires multimodality treatment. Chemoradiotherapy delivered after D2 gastrectomy has been evaluated in a number of clinical studies and best evidence, thus far, does not support its use in the post-operative setting. Data from currently recruiting and ongoing trials with exploratory translational endpoints are eagerly awaited to direct the use of chemoradiotherapy in the neoadjuvant setting. Radiotherapy can be effective in the palliation of symptoms associated with advanced gastric cancer. Furthermore, Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy has the potential to provide long term disease control in a proportion of gastric cancer patients with oligometastatic liver disease.

Cancer Manag Res 2023; 15:55-65. [PMID: 36685716 PMCID: PMC9849787 DOI: 10.2147/cmar.s391529] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2022] [Accepted: 12/29/2022] [Indexed: 01/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose We assess real-world outcomes, including safety and efficacy, of concurrent or sequential treatment with radiotherapy plus programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors in patients with oligometastatic esophageal cancer (OMEC). Methods This cohort study retrospectively collected clinical data of patients with synchronous or metachronous OMEC. All patients underwent concurrent or sequential treatment with radiotherapy plus PD-1 inhibitors. Each patient had up to five measurable metastatic lesions and up to three organs involved. Study endpoints were progression-free survival (PFS), treatment-related toxicities, locoregional progression-free survival (LRPFS), objective response rate (ORR), and disease control rate (DCR). Description statistics and Kaplan-Meier models were used for statistical analysis. Results A total of 86 patients were included, most of whom were diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma histology (98%) and presented with synchronous OMEC (64%). The median follow-up period was 17 months (range: 6-32 months), the median PFS was 15.2 months (95% confidence interval: 12.1-18.2 months); and the 1- and 2-year PFS rates were 61.4% and 26.7%, respectively. The 1- and 2-year LRPFS were 91.3% and 57.3%, respectively. The ORR and DCR were 46.5% and 91.8%, respectively. Forty-two patients (48.8%) experienced grade 3 or higher treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs); a grade 5 treatment-related adverse event was observed in one patient (1.2%) who died of immune-related pneumonitis. Conclusion Combining radiotherapy with PD-1 inhibitors is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with OMEC. No new safety concerns were identified in this study. However, due to the potential risk of cumulative toxicity, an individual risk-benefit assessment for each patient is required prior to treatment initiation.

Abstract
Gastric adenocarcinoma and esophageal cancer are the fifth and seventh most common cancer types worldwide. At the time of initial diagnosis, up to 50% of esophagogastric cancers present with distant metastatic lesions and are candidates for chemotherapy. Curative surgery in this stage is still an experimental approach. Only a small number of these metastatic patients show an oligometastatic disease with no uniform definition of what oligometastatic means in gastric cancer. Nevertheless, the question remains unanswered as to whether these patients are still candidates for curative concepts. Some studies have attempted to answer this question but have not been adequately designed to address the role of a curative-intended multimodal therapy in this setting. The current FLOT-5 is designed to potentially provide a definitive answer to the question of whether curatively intended surgery plays a role or is a disadvantage in this setting.

Stereotactic radiotherapy or metastasectomy for oligometastatic esophagogastric cancer: a nationwide population-based cohort study. Clin Transl Radiat Oncol 2022; 37:109-115. [PMID: 36186924 PMCID: PMC9523096 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctro.2022.08.012] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2022] [Revised: 08/16/2022] [Accepted: 08/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
This nationwide study included patients with esophagogastric cancer and OMD. Local treatment of OMD was associated with improved OS. Local treatment of OMD plus systemic therapy was associated with better OS. Randomized trials are warranted to conform results.
Background and purpose This nationwide population-based study analyzed the outcomes of local treatment (i.e. stereotactic body radiotherapy [SBRT] or metastasectomy) or systemic therapy for oligometastatic disease (OMD) in patients with esophagogastric cancer in The Netherlands. Materials and methods Between 2015 and 2016, all patients in The Netherlands with esophagogastric cancer and synchronous or metachronous OMD were eligible for inclusion. Patients who underwent local treatment of OMD (SBRT or metastasectomy) and/or systemic therapy were included. OMD was defined as distant metastases in 1 organ or 1 extra-regional lymph node region. The primary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and independent prognostic factors for OS. OS was calculated from diagnosis of OMD. Prognostic factors for OS were analyzed using a multivariable Cox proportional hazard model. Results A total of 594 patients were included, of whom 83 underwent local treatment for OMD alone, 22 local treatment plus systemic therapy, and 489 systemic therapy alone. Median OS after local treatment for OMD alone was 16.0 months, local treatment plus systemic therapy 22.7 months, and after systemic therapy alone 8.5 months. Improved OS was independently associated with local treatment for OMD alone or combined with systemic therapy as compared with systemic therapy alone (hazard ratio [HR] 0.52, 95% CI: 0.31–0.90 and HR 0.42, 95% CI: 0.22-0.82, respectively) and a controlled primary tumor(HR 0.48, 95% CI: 0.27–0.86). Worse OS was independently associated with worse performance scores (HR 1.41, 95%: 1.32-1.75), poorly or undiffertumor as compared with good or moderadifferentiated tumor (HR 1.37, 95% CI: 1.06-1.76), and peritoneal as compared with lymph mode metastases (HR 1.39, 95% CI: 1.00-1.93). Conclusion Local treatment of OMD alone or combined with systemic therapy was independently associated with improved OS as compared with systemic therapy alone in this population-based cohort study in The Netherlands. Randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm these results.

Abstract
Oligometastatic disease (OMD) is associated with favorable tumor biology. Local treatment for OMD may improve overall survival (OS). Treatment for OMD is highly complex and requires a multidisciplinary team.
