StudyYearNCriteriaTreatmentFindings

Hanagiri et al. [21] (retrospective) 201136Up to 5 metastastic sites, stage IV diseaseSurgery or radiation5-year OS with distant metastasis 30.1%, pleural dissemination 25.1%
Guerra et al. [22] (retrospective)201278Up to 5 synchronous metastatic sites, Definitive chemoRT (44 also underwent treatment to OM sites)Surgery or radiation to OM sitesHigh radiation dose, performance status, lower intrathoracic tumor volume correlated with improved OS
Downey et al. [23] (prospective)200223Solitary synchronous lesionsMVP × 3, then surgery on all sites, then VP × 2MVP poorly tolerated, 2/23 patients disease free at 5 years
