      • Abstract

      Background
      Oligo-Recurrence (< 5 metastatic lesions) of surgically resected Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) patient was stage IV disease, but long term survival was expected. Radical local therapy may be able to cure a subset of these patients, but clinical data has been insufficient.The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of local therapy (include surgery (OP) and radiation therapy (RT)) according to the recurrence site.

      Methods
      We retrospectively reviewed surgically resected patients of NSCLC at our institution between 1994 and 2009, and extracted patients who received local therapy after recurrence. Efficacy and toxicity were compared between OP and RT. Significant differences among treatment groups were compared using the X[2]-test and survival curves were constructed using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test.

      Results
      Of the 1975 patients who underwent surgery during this period, and 421 cases were relapsed. Two hundred sixty patients were oligo-recurrence case and were received local therapy (OP: 48/ RT: 143). Primary lesion had been controlled in all cases. Recurrence sites were lung: 55 (21/ 34), Brain: 52 (3/49), Mediastinal and neck LN: 49 (7/38), Born: 33(3/30) and Adrenal gland: 7 (3/4). RT for brain metastasis was r-knife: 38 and Whole brain irradiation: 11. There were no serious adverse events in both treatments. Performance status was not spoiled in both treatment groups. Overall median survival time (MST) after recurrence was 17 months (mo.) (OP: 27/RT: 11), 3-year survival rate was 22% (29%/19%). Twenty patients (OP 6/RT 6) were survived over 5 years. MST according to the recurrence site was, lung: 23 mo. (27/11), Brain 18 mo. (16/18), mediastinal and neck LN 14 mo. (12/14), born 12 mo. (17/11) and adrenal gland 26 mo. (22/47). There was no statistically significant difference in survival for overall patients, according to the recurrence site, and also treatment modality.

      Conclusion
      Local therapy for oligo-recurrence NSCLC could be safety performed. Overall survival data was not extremely superior to other Stage IV disease in this data. However, according to the recurrence site, MST of lung and adrenal gland were over 20 months. There was no significant difference between treatment modality. To confirm the true efficacy of radical local therapy for these patients, prospective study must be needed.
