Udhayvir Grewal: Management of oligometastatic disease in gastric/esophageal cancer

Udhayvir Grewal, Resident Physician at Ochsner LSU Health Shreveport Academy Medical Centre, shared a post on X:

“A nice review on management of oligometastatic disease in gastric/esophageal cancer.

Definition remains elusive.

Two key trials-

IKF-575/RENAISSANCE phase III trial showed no significant overall survival difference between systemic therapy alone and systemic therapy combined with local therapy for patients with gastric or gastroesophageal junc-tion cancer and de-novo OMD, except for patients with retroperitoneal lymph node metastases only

The ESO-Shanghai 13 phase II trial demonstrated superiority of adding local therapy to systemic therapy for progression-free and overall survival in oligometastatic esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Benefit perhaps more in ESCC?

Multi-D discussion paramount. Appropriate patient selection challenging but very important.”
