e20669Background: The new 2016lung cancer classification differentiates oligometastatic (M1b) better prognostic from plurimetastatic (M1c) disease. A prospective study presented at 2016 ASCO showed improved PFS in patients with oligometastatic brain disease treated aggressively compared to a more palliative treatment but OS data is pending. Methods: This study is a single-center retrospective study including 643 patients with metastatic lung cancer diagnosed in an University center (CHUM) from 2005-2015 and followed more than 6 months (median follow up 13.3mo) . Only 67 patients (10.4%) were found to have synchronous oligometastatic disease at diagnosis. Results: Amongst the 67 patients, the localization of metastatic disease was as follows: 74% brain (n = 50), 9% adrenal gland (n = 6), 7% contralateral pulmonary lobe (n = 5), 6% bone (n = 4) and 3% liver (n = 2). 29 patients received radical treatment to primary and metastatic site (group A) and 36 patients received non-aggressive treatments (group B).
