Role of Primary Resection for Patients with Oligometastatic Disease Tadahiko Shien, Maya Uno, Ryo Yoshioka, Mariko Kochi, Takahiro Tsukioki, Yuko Takahashi, Kengo Kawada, Hirokuni Ikeda, Takayuki Iwamoto, Naruto Taira, Hiroyoshi Doihara. Dept. of Breast and Endocrine Surgery,Okayama University Hospital.

2 seed and soil theory of cancer spread The outcome of metastasis was not due to chance, but that certain tumour cells have specific affinity for the milieu of certain organs. He concluded that metastases formed only when the seed and soil were compatible. Metastatic Breast Cancer is systemic disease. The aim of treatment by the systemic drugs is to prolong survival and palliate symptoms. What is the aim of surgery for Stage IV BC? Stephen Paget ( ) Paget, S. The distribution of secondary growths in cancer of the breast. Lancet 1, (1889).

3 Primary tumor resection for Stage IV BC aim 1 Pathological and biological diagnosis of tumor aim 2 Treatment - prolongation of survival local symptom control

4 Primary tumor resection for Stage IV BC aim 1 Pathological and biological diagnosis of tumor : We can get enough specimen by needle biopsy. aim 2 Primary tumor resection is not needed. Treatment ~ prolongation of survival local symptom control

5 Primary tumor resection for Stage IV BC aim 1 Pathological and biological diagnosis of tumor aim 2 Treatment : Can the primary tumor resection prolong the overall survival or progression free survival? Is the early surgery effective to control the local symptoms?

6 Meta-analysis of retrospective study reports. Surgical treatment of the primary tumour improves the overall survival in patients with metastatic breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis Headon H, et al. Mol Clin Oncol May;4(5): Prognostic factors: complete excision of the primary tumor, metastasis only to bone and/or soft tissue, few metastases younger

26 JCOG gastric cancer group Gastrectomy plus chemotherapy versus chemotherapy alone for advanced gastric cancer with a single non-curable factor (REGATTA) REGATTA was an open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial done by the Japan Clinical Oncology Group (JCOG; JCOG0705) and the Korean Gastric Cancer Association (KGCA; KGCA01). advanced gastric cancer with a single non-curable factor liver (H1), peritoneum (P1), para-aortic lymph nodes (16a1/b2) R Primary endpoint: overall survival Secondary endpoints: progression free survival, adverse events etc. Patients (chemo alone 86 vs. Chemo + Surgery 89) Chemotherapy alone Gastrectomy + Chemotherapy Fujitani K, Han-Kwang Yang,et al. Lancet Oncol Mar;17(3):

27 Results of REGATTA trial Median OS: Chemo alone 16.6 mo. Chemo + Gastrectomy. 14.3mo. Discussion We believe that this impaired compliance with chemotherapy after gastrectomy accounted for the worse overall survival than with chemotherapy alone. No. of chemotherapy regimens Pts with upper-third tumours: gastrectomy, median 3 cycles chemotherapy alone, median 6 cycles Fujitani K, Han-Kwang Yang,et al. Lancet Oncol Mar;17(3):

28 JCOG colorectal cancer group A randomized controlled trial comparing resection of primary tumor plus chemotherapy with chemotherapy alone in incurable Stage IV colorectal cancer. (ipacs trial) Resectable colorectal cancer with distant metastatic disease R Primary endpoint:overall survival Secondary endpoints: Progression free survival, safety etc Chemotherapy alone Primary tumor surgery + Chemotherapy patients: (recruiting)

29 Conclusion Primary tumor resection for Stage IV BC is... unnecessary for pathological and biological diagnosis Overall survival benefit is under debate. (waiting other two studies reports.) PFS may be worse for patients without continuous systemic therapy after primary tumor surgery from Indian and GC trials. There is no prospective data indicating the efficacy of primary tumor surgery according to local symptom control. ( 10% pts including nosurgery arm received surgery in Indian and Turkish study.)

30 Please wait the report of JCOG trial! Thank you for your attention and invitation.
