Background: The aim of this study was to elucidate a curable subgroup among patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who developed postoperative recurrence.

Patients And Methods: Between 1986 and 2012, among the 1408 patients who underwent complete anatomic lung resection for NSCLC at our institution, 420 developed recurrence. After excluding 14 patients with insufficient information about recurrence, 406 were included in this retrospective study. We investigated the association between several clinicopathologic factors and postrecurrence overall survival (PR-OS) and postrecurrence progression-free survival (PR-PFS).

Results: The 5-year PR-OS and PR-PFS rates were 14.0% and 5.9%, respectively. By multivariate analysis, female sex, longer disease-free interval, specific targeted therapy, recent recurrence, oligo-recurrence, and definitive local therapy (DLT) were found to be independent favorable prognostic factors for both PR-OS and PR-PFS. Among these 6 prognostic factors, although female sex, longer disease-free interval, and specific targeted therapy were associated with a prolonged median PR-PFS time, they were not associated with an improved 5-year PR-PFS rate. In contrast, recent recurrence, oligo-recurrence, and DLT were associated with improvement in both the median PR-PFS time and 5-year PR-PFS rate.

Conclusions: We found that recent recurrence, oligo-recurrence, and DLT were associated with an improved median PR-PFS time and long-term PR-PFS rate in patients with postoperative recurrence after complete resection of NSCLC. On the basis of these results, we believe that DLT should be considered first for patients with oligo-recurrence before applying noncurative treatment.

Despite the introduction of effective systemic therapies and advancements in precision medicine, recurrence or progression remains common in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). For a subset of patients with more localized metastatic disease-referred to as oligometastases and oligo-recurrence-emerging evidence suggests that a multimodal approach combining systemic therapy with local ablative therapies (LATs) may offer curative potential. Oligo-recurrence is defined by the presence of a limited number of metastases and recurrences in patients with controlled primary lesions.

Background And Purpose: The role of local ablative radiotherapy (stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT)/stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS)) in the management of metastatic breast cancer (mBC) patients remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of SBRT/SRS in oligometastatic and oligoprogressive breast cancer patients.

Methods: Totally 80 mBC patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD) and 80 with oligoprogressive disease (OPD) to ≤5 metastatic lesions were retrospectively analyzed.

Purpose: Following treatment for localized prostate cancer, a subset of men will develop recurrent disease in the abdominopelvic nodes. For radiation therapy (RT), the optimal treatment volume, fractionation schedule, and dose remain unanswered questions. We report early outcomes for patients treated with involved-field stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) (IF-SBRT) for nodal oligo-recurrent (NOR) prostate cancer.

Prognostic factors after radical local therapy for oligo-recurrence of non-small cell lung cancer.

Objective: Oligo-recurrence refers to the presence of a limited number of metachronous recurrences that can be treated with radical local therapy, and most patients have a good prognosis. However, the clinical course after local therapy for oligo-recurrence of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) varies, and the prognostic factors are unclear. The aim of this study was to elucidate the prognostic factors of patients with oligo-recurrence of NSCLC who underwent radical local therapy.
