Article Title: | Predictors of progression-free survival and local tumor control after percutaneous thermal ablation of oligometastatic breast cancer: Retrospective study |
Abstract: | Purpose: To describe ablation of bone, liver, lung, and soft tissue tumors from oligometastatic breast cancer and to define predictors of local progression and progression-free survival (PFS). Materials and Methods: A total of 33 women (mean age 52 ± 12 years old; range, 28–69 years), underwent 46 thermal ablations of liver (n = 35), lung (n = 7), and bone/soft tissue (n = 4) metastases. Mean tumor diameter was 18 ± 15 mm (range, 6–50 mm). Ablations were performed to eradicate all evident sites of disease (n = 24) or to control growing sites in the setting of other stable or responding sites of disease (n = 22). Patient characteristics, ablation margins, imaging responses, and cases of PFS were assessed. Follow-up imaging was performed using contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, or positron-emission tomography/ CT. Results: Median PFS was 10 months (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.2 –14.5 months), and time to local progression was 11 months (95% CI, 5–16 months). Eight patients (24%) maintained no evidence of disease during a median follow-up period of 39 months. Ablation margin ≥5 mm was associated with no local tumor progression. Longer PFS was noted in estrogen receptor-positive patients (12 vs 4 months; P =.037) and younger patients (12 vs 4 months; P =.039) treated to eradicate all sites of disease (13 vs 5 months; P =.05). Eighteen patients (55%) developed new metastases during study follow-up. Conclusions: Thermal ablation of oligometastatic pulmonary, hepatic, bone, and soft tissue tumors can eliminate local tumor progression if margins are ≥5 mm. Longer PFS was observed in patients who were estrogen receptor-positive and patients who were younger and in whom all sites of disease were eradicated. © 2020 SIR |
