Oligometastasis
Nat Rev Clin Oncol, 2011
Oligometastasis
• Theory 1st proposed by Hellman and
Weichselbaum in 1995.
• Along spectrum of locally confined to widely
metastatic cancer, there exists intermediate
“oligometastatic state” where metastases are
limited in number and location.
Paradigm Stages
Old Early vs Metastatic
New Early ~ Oligometastatic ~ Systemic
Nat Rev Clin Oncol, 2011
Oligometastasis
• Eradication of “oligometastases” with local
ablative Tx could be curative in select patients.
• Cure is achieved following curative surgical
resection in:
– Liver metastases from colon cancer
– Lung metastases from various sites
– Adrenal metastases from lung cancer

Oligometastasis
• Oligometastases have long been recognized as
potentially curable, but were considered rare
exceptions to cancer metastasis paradigm.
• Oligometastatic state, however, is becoming
more frequently identified with more
sensitive methods.
• Clinicians will be able to limit ablative local
Tx to only those with true oligometastases.

Conclusion
• Patient selection is key determinant:
– Definitive Tx of primary tumor
– Long disease-free interval
– Lack of intra-thoracic nodal metastasis
• These should be utilized to guide clinical
decision making and design of future studies.
SMC Experience of SBRT for
Oligometastasis to Lung
Acta Oncol, 2012
SBRT for Lung Metastasis
• SBRT to 57 patients, 67 metastatic lesions
• Sep. 2001~Nov. 2010
• Lung toxicity:
– Grade 2 in 4 patients (6.0%)
– Grade 5 in 1
Acta Oncol, 2012
Acta Oncol, 2012
Response at 1 month:
- CR in 17 (25%)
- PR in 40 (60%)
- SD in 10 (15%)
Local progression in 3 (5%)

Presence of extrathoracic disease was
the only significant factor (p=0.049)
on multivariate analysis.
64.0% vs 38.9%
at 3 years
66.1% vs 0%
at 3 years 71.1% vs 51.1%

Acta Oncol, 2012
Conclusion
• SBRT for single or oligo-metastasis seems
quite effective and safe.
• Tumor size, disease-free interval, and presence
of extrathoracic disease are prognosticators for
survival.

Clinical Practice Points
• Select oligometastatic NSCLC Pts might benefit
from aggressive Tx to all disease sites:
– Pts with controlled primary lung cancer are
most likely to experience long-term survival.
– Pts with metachronous meta experienced the
longest survivals.
– Pts with synchronous meta and N1-2 disease
had the poorest survivals.

Survey
Am J Clin Oncol, 2015
• 25-question survey
• 1,007 respondents from 43
countries
• SBRT users:
• Length of practice
• # patients treated
• Organs treated
• Primary reason
• Dose schedules
• Future intentions
• SBRT non-users:
• Reason for not using SBRT
• Future intentions

Am J Clin Oncol, 2015
Reasons for adopting SBRT to treat OM
84%
• Commonly treated organs: lung (90%), liver
(75%), and spine (70%).
• Most would offer second SBRT to new OM.
• 99% planned to continue and 66% planned to
increase SBRT use.
Various dose schedules!
Am J Clin Oncol, 2015
Reasons for planning to adopt SBRT
• The most common reasons for not using SBRT were lack of
clinical efficacy (48%) and/or lack of necessary image guidance
equipment (34%).  need for prospective clinical trials!
• Of those not using SBRT, 59% plan to start soon.

Take Home Messages
• Proportion of patients with OM has been increasing.
• Management of OM has become challenging.
• Patients selection is very important:
– Controlled primary
– Long DFI (metachronous >> synchronous)
– Initially low cN stages
• Consider high dose aggressive local RT (SBRT,
IMRT, IGRT, Particle…) to favorable subgroups.
