Abstract
Introduction
Oligometastasis and oligoprogression (OP) has not been adequately defined in extensive-stage SCLC (ES-SCLC) and may be a good indication for adding local treatment. Therefore, this multicenter study aimed to investigate the prognostic impact of oligometastasis and OP in ES-SCLC.
Methods
We enrolled patients who received chemoimmunotherapy between September 2019 and June 2022. Patients were classified into oligometastasis and non-oligometastasis groups by determining the number of original tumor lesions and distant metastases (worsening or newly appearing lesions) at the time of initial diagnosis and disease progression after first-line treatment.
Results
We retrospectively analyzed 265 consecutive patients with ES-SCLC. Synchronous oligometastasis (SOM) and OP was defined as less than or equal to five lesions in less than or equal to two organs, including lungs; 21.0% and 53.2% of patients had SOM and OP, respectively. Median progression-free survival was 5.8 months and 4.9 months in patients with and without SOM, respectively (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.72, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.51–1.02, p = 0.065). Median overall survival was 20.5 months and 15.0 months in patients with and without SOM (HR = 0.58, 95% CI: 0.37–0.95, p = 0.027) from the initiation of first-line treatment. The OP group revealed a better progression-free survival of 5.2 months (versus 3.2 mo, HR = 0.69, 95% CI: 0.50–0.96, p = 0.026) and overall survival of 15.1 months (versus 7.5 mo, HR = 0.44, 95% CI: 0.29–0.66, p = 0.027) from the initiation of second-line treatment compared with the non-OP group. The Lung Immune Prognostic Index score was significantly lower in the SOM and OP group.
Conclusions
ES-SCLC in patients with SOM and OP may be more indolent than that of the nonoligometastasis group, therefore, new treatment strategies, including the addition of local treatment, should be explored.
