      Background:
      Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients are considered incurable and mainly treated with palliative intent. The overall survival (OS) and disease free survival (DFS) of this patient group is considered as poor. The purpose of this study was to investigate the OS and DFS of NSCLC patients, diagnosed with synchronous oligometastatic disease treated with curative intent of the intrathoracic disease as well as the metastases.

      Methods:
      Patients treated between 2008 and 2014 were included in this retrospective cohort analysis. Main inclusion criteria were: synchronous presentation of NSCLC and oligometastatic disease at diagnosis, and multidisciplinary consent on a radical treatment of both the intrathoracic disease and the metastases. Besides systemic treatment. The intrathoracic disease was radically irradiated (> 55 Gy biological effective dose) or resected. Treatment of the metastases consisted of: radical/stereotactic radiotherapy, surgical resection or radiofrequency ablation (RFA).

      Results:
      A total of 56 patients, 31 men and 25 women, were included. The mean age was 61 years (range 36-79) and all were in good condition (WHO 0-1). Most patients had a solitary metastasis (brain (22), bone (17), adrenal gland (6), lymphe node (3), liver (2), soft tissue (1), pulmonary (1), thyroid gland (1) and breast (1)). Two patients had 2 metastases (liver and bone / pleural and bone). The intrathoracic tumor stage,ignoring M-status, was IA in 3 patients, IB in 2 patients, IIA in 8 patients, IIB in 4 patients, IIIA in 24 patients and IIIB in 15 patients. Fifty patients were treated with radiotherapy and 4 patients had a surgical intervention for the primary tumor; 2 patients only received systemical treatment for the intrathoracic disease. Fifty patients received chemotherapy (89%), of which 5 (10%) concurrent with the radiotherapy of the intrathoracic disease and 45 (90%) sequential. The metastases were treated with ablative/stereotactic radiotherapy (45), surgical intervention (2), only systemical treatment (5), combination of surgical intervention and radiotherapy (3) and RFA (1). The mean follow-up was 21 months (range 4-69). Forty-one (73%) patients developed recurrent disease of whom 29 (52%) died. Only 8 (20%) recurrences occurred within the irradiated area. Most recurrences where brain (13) and pulmonary metastases (11). For the whole group, the median DFS was 14 months (range 2-69, 95% CI 11-17) and the median OS was 32 months (range 4-69, 95% CI 16-48). The 1- and 2-year OS was 86% and 58%, respectively. The 1- and 2-year DFS was 66% and 30%, respectively.

      Conclusion:
      Radical local treatment of a highly selected group of NSCLC patients in good condition presenting with synchronous oligometastatic stage IV disease (maximum 2 metastases) resulted in excellent local control, and also in favorable long-term DFS and OS.
