Brief summary

Local treatment in addition to endocrine treatment as 1st line for oligo-metastatic ER-positive/HER2-negative breast cancer.

Detailed description

Local treatment included surgical resection, stereotactic body radiotherapy, palliative radiotherapy, and radiofrequency ablation. Stereotactic body radiotherapy is preferred as a radiation modality. Endocrine therapies with/without target therapy including CDK4/6 inhibitors or mTOR inhibitors are the mainstay of 1st line treatment for ER-positive/HER2-negative metastatic breast cancer.

Interventions

PROCEDURESurgical resection

Surgical resection for their metastatic lesions will be performed. Achievement of tumor-free margin is not mandatory.

RADIATIONStereotactic body radiotherapy

Deliver appropriate metastasis directed radiotherapy while minimizing exposure of surrounding normal tissues. Total radiation dose and fractions are various according to metastatic lesions (57\ 97.5Gy/6\ 10 Fraction).

PROCEDURERadiofrequency ablation

RFA is a localized thermal treatment technique designed to induce tumor destruction by heating the tumor tissue to temperatures that exceed 60℃. The alternating current of radiofrequency waves passing down from an uninsulated electrode tip into the surrounding tissues generates changes in the direction of ions and creates ionic agitation and frictional heating. This tissue heating then drives extracellular and intracellular water out of the tissue, resulting in tissue destruction by coagulative necrosis.

Intervention model description

Endocrine therapy is a standard-of-care for 1st line treatment in the patients with ER+/HER2- metastatic breast cancer. Local treatments for metastatic lesions will be added in this group. All patients will undergo local treatments in addition to endocrine therapies. Local treatments include modalities described below: i) Surgical resection: the achievement of tumor-free margin is not obligatory. ii) Stereotactic body radiotherapy iii) Radiofrequency ablation
