Radiotherapy for oligoprogressive disease in non-small cell lung cancer treated with pembrolizumab in first-line setting: a retrospective study.

Background: Oligoprogression (OP) is common in patients with metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). This study aims to assess the benefit and the safety profile of ablative radiotherapy (RT) for OP in mNSCLC treated with pembrolizumab in first-line setting.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed records of all consecutive mNSCLC patients who underwent treatment with pembrolizumab (+/- chemotherapy) in first-line setting and developed an OP treated with ablative RT while continuing pembrolizumab, in a French Hospital from 2019 to 2022.

Recommendations for Post-Operative RadioTherapy After Complete Resection of Thymoma-a French DELPHI Consensus Initiative.

Introduction: Thymomas are rare intrathoracic malignancies that can relapse after surgery. Whether or not Post-Operative RadioTherapy (PORT) should be delivered after surgery remains a major issue. RADIORYTHMIC is an ongoing, multicenter, randomized phase 3 trial addressing this question in patients with completely R0 resected Masaoka-Koga stage IIb/III thymoma.

[Interest of focal radiotherapy in case of oligoprogression under immunotherapy in the treatment of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer].

Introduction: The prognosis of metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has been improved by the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). Unfortunately, in some cases, cancer cells will develop resistance mechanisms. In case of progression in a limited number of lesions (oligoprogression), focal treatment with radiotherapy is proposed while continuing the ICI therapy.

Local control and radionecrosis of brain metastases from non-small-cell lung cancer treated by hypofractionated stereotactic radiotherapy: Evaluation of predictive factors.

Background: The objective of our study was to report predictive factors of local control (LC) and radionecrosis (RN) of brain metastases (BM) of non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) treated by multifractionated stereotactic radiotherapy (MF-SRT) according to French recommendations.

Method: From 2012 to 2020, 87 patients with 101 BM were retrospectively included. The median age was 63 years (37-85).

Bone metastases from lung cancer: A paradigm for multidisciplinary onco-rheumatology management.

Bone is the third metastatic site after liver and lungs. Bone metastases occur in one out of three lung cancers and are usually of osteolytic aspect. Osteolytic bone metastases are responsible of long bone and vertebral fractures leading to restricted mobility, surgery and medullar compression that severely alter quality of life and that have a huge medico-economic impact.
