Abstract
Background: The role of primary tumor ablation (pTA) in metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) is unknown. We compared pTA-treated mRCC patients to patients who underwent no local treatment (NLT), as well as patients who underwent cytoreductive nephrectomy (CN).
Methods: Within the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER, 2004-2020), we identified mRCC patients who underwent either pTA, NLT or CN. Endpoints consisted of overall survival (OM) and other-cause mortality (OCM). Propensity score 1:1 matching (PSM), multivariable cox regression models (OM), as well as, multivariable competing risk regressions (CRR) models (OCM) were used.
Results: We identified 27,087 mRCC patients, of whom 82 (0.3%) underwent pTA, 17,266 (64%) NLT and 9,739 (36%) CN. In comparisons of pTA vs. NLT mRCC patients addressing OM, after 1:1 PSM, median survival was 19 months for pTA vs. 4 months for NLT patients (multivariable HR 0.3, 95% CI 0.22-0.47, P < 0.001). No statistically significant OCM differences were recorded in multivariable CRR (HR 1.13 95%, CI 0.52-2.44, P = 0.8). In comparisons of pTA vs. CN, after 1:1 PSM, no statistically significant differences in OM (HR 1.22, 95% CI 0.81-1.83, P = 0.32), as well as OCM (HR 1.4, 95% CI 0.56-3.48, P = 0.5) were recorded.
Conclusion: In mRCC patients, pTA is associated with significantly lower mortality compared to NLT. Interestingly, OM rates between pTA and CN mRCC patients do not exhibit statistically significant differences. This preliminary report may suggest that pTA may provide a comparable survival benefit to CN in highly selected mRCC patients.
期刊介绍:
Urologic Oncology: Seminars and Original Investigations is the official journal of the Society of Urologic Oncology. The journal publishes practical, timely, and relevant clinical and basic science research articles which address any aspect of urologic oncology. Each issue comprises original research, news and topics, survey articles providing short commentaries on other important articles in the urologic oncology literature, and reviews including an in-depth Seminar examining a specific clinical dilemma. The journal periodically publishes supplement issues devoted to areas of current interest to the urologic oncology community. Articles published are of interest to researchers and the clinicians involved in the practice of urologic oncology including urologists, oncologists, and radiologists.
