Abstract PO3-06-04: Clinical Features and Survival Outcomes of Oligometastatic Breast Cancer Patients: The Mayo Clinic Experience

Abstract

Abstract Background The current definition, prognosis, and optimal treatment (tx) for oligometastatic breast cancer (OMBC) are not fully known. With advances in multimodality breast cancer (BC) tx and overall improvement in patient (pt) outcomes, it is important to identify baseline pt factors that confer better prognosis in OMBC and assess the impact of local/regional tx and metastasis (mets)-directed tx on survival outcomes. Methods We reviewed 105 Mayo Clinic pts with OMBC (up to 5 mets) from 2003 to 2021. Pts were excluded from analysis if they were misidentified as having OMBC (n=6), did not have a primary breast mass (n=1), developed de novo BC during tx (n=1), or were lost to follow up (n=2). Categorical variables were summarized as counts. Continuous variables were reported as medians. Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival and the time from diagnosis to next tx at 1, 3, and 5 years. Log-rank test was used to compare survival rates between baseline factors. Univariate Cox proportional hazards models were performed on both baseline and time-dependent factors. All tests were two-sided with p-value < 0.05 considered statistically significant. Results Total pts included were 95. Median age was 49 (range, 26-86), most (93.6%) pts were White, and 46.8% were postmenopausal. Invasive ductal carcinoma (89.5%) was the most common BC type. Median survival was 10.8 years; 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 98.9%, 87.7%, and 81%, respectively. 58 pts (61.1%) required a change in tx due to disease progression. No significant survival difference was observed in pre- vs. postmenopausal pts (p=0.71) or in groups based on hormone receptor and/or human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 status. 47 pts (49.5%) received local/regional tx; no significant difference in survival (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.23-1.40; p=0.217) or time to next tx (HR 0.67, 95% CI 0.39-1.15; p=0.144) was seen in this subgroup. Of these pts, 36 (76.6%) received neoadjuvant chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy, 5 of whom (10.6%) also started endocrine tx preoperatively. Overall, 11/47 pts (23.4%) received neoadjuvant endocrine tx. 20 pts received systemic tx without eventual surgery, and 5 pts got palliative radiation (RT). Biopsy-confirmed mets were noted in 76 pts (80%), with bone-only mets in 50%, 30 pts (31.6%) with viscera-only mets and 7 pts (7.4%) with both bone and visceral mets. 18 pts had suspected mets on imaging but did not undergo biopsy. The hazard of death was 6.34 times higher in pts with both bone and visceral mets than those with bone-only mets (p=0.008). Pts with viscera-only mets had higher survival at 2 and 3 years than pts with bone-only or both bone and visceral mets (p=0.093). Pts with 3 mets (7/76, 7.4%) had decreased survival at 1, 2, and 3 years compared to pts with 1-2 (65/76, 85.5%) mets (p=0.6). 67 pts (70.5%) received mets-directed tx; RT alone was the most common modality (52/67, 77.6%), followed by surgery (6/67, 9%), RT plus surgery (5/67, 7.5%), and ablation alone (3/67, 4.5%). There was no significant difference in survival (HR 1.27, 95% CI (0.53, 3.07), p=0.589) or time to next tx (HR 0.95, 95% CI (0.56, 1.63), p=0.856) in pts who received mets-directed tx. Multivariate analysis was not performed because most findings were not statistically significant in univariate analysis. Conclusions We did not find any significant differences in survival based on characteristics like menopausal status or site or number of mets in pts with OMBC. There was a trend toward improved survival in pts with viscera-only mets, but this finding requires validation. Local/regional and mets-directed tx did not improve survival; however, survival at 1, 3, and 5 years was excellent in this OMBC pt population. Our study was limited by low pt numbers and heterogeneity in the pt population. Findings need validation in larger studies.
