Partial Nephrectomy as Management of Oligometastatic Cancer with Limited Systemic Treatment Options: A Case Report.

Ocular melanoma is a form of melanoma that rarely offers actionable mutations for treatment with systemic therapy and is relatively radioresistant. As such, surgery is the mainstay of treatment for localized disease and can be considered for oligometastatic disease. We present a case of ocular melanoma that recurred with a solitary renal metastasis 9 years after initial diagnosis and treatment with intraocular brachytherapy. After multidisciplinary discussion, the patient underwent a partial nephrectomy for her solitary renal metastasis. The patient continued in follow-up 3.5 years after partial nephrectomy. She was treated again surgically for a solitary metastasis to the breast before initiation of systemic therapy once multifocal disease was identified. We suggest interdisciplinary management of patients with metastatic involvement of target organs, given the rapidly changing treatment landscape for melanoma and other forms of cancer.

Abstract

Ocular melanoma is a form of melanoma that rarely offers actionable mutations for treatment with systemic therapy and is relatively radioresistant. As such, surgery is the mainstay of treatment for localized disease and can be considered for oligometastatic disease. We present a case of ocular melanoma that recurred with a solitary renal metastasis 9 years after initial diagnosis and treatment with intraocular brachytherapy. After multidisciplinary discussion, the patient underwent a partial nephrectomy for her solitary renal metastasis. The patient continued in follow-up 3.5 years after partial nephrectomy. She was treated again surgically for a solitary metastasis to the breast before initiation of systemic therapy once multifocal disease was identified. We suggest interdisciplinary management of patients with metastatic involvement of target organs, given the rapidly changing treatment landscape for melanoma and other forms of cancer.
