Preoperative-postoperative immunotherapy as treatment of borderline resectable and oligoprogressive stage III B-D and IV melanoma

Original language description

Introduction: Perioperative therapy has gained significant importance in patients with advanced melanoma. Currently, there is little data on the routine use of preoperative immunotherapy in metastatic melanoma outside clinical trials. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative treatment in patients with borderline resectable stage III or IV melanoma as well as in oligoprogressing stage IV cases; the secondary aim is to describe the safety of surgery after immunotherapy. Materials and methods: Since 1/Jan/2016 seventeen patients were treated with curative intent neoadjuvant immunotherapy, surgery, and adjuvant immunotherapy, while nineteen patients were operated due to oligoprogression while treted with immunotherapy. Survival was analyzed using the Kaplan -Meier method and association between variables was tested using the chi-squared test. Results: R0 resection was achieved in 76.5 % of cases after neoadjuvant immunotherapy. 24 % of patients achieved objective RECIST response and 35 % complete or major pathological response. At the median follow-up time of 51.4 months, 64.7 % of patients were free of PD after perioperative treatment, while 3-year RFS and OS rates were 68 % and 80.9 %, respectively. R0 resection was achieved in 73.7 % of oligo-progressing nodules. The median time to PD on immunotherapy after the first oligoprogression was 10.3 months. Immunotherapy did not result in any unexpected surgical complications. No patient died during preoperative treatment due to immunotherapy toxicity or disease progression. Conclusions: We confirmed treatment safety and long -term disease control after perioperative immunotherapy. Patients with borderline resectable melanoma should be referred to reference centers using neoadjuvant immunotherapy.
