Background: Improved overall survival in patients undergoing metаstasectomy for melanoma have been reported in several retrospective studies before era of modern therapy in melanoma. Rapid progress in BRAF and MEK targeted therapy (TT) and immunotherapy (IT) has led to significant improvements in objective response rates and survival rates in advanced melanoma patients. Unfortunately, part of patients have a resistance to modern therapy in one or more lesions. In 2019 Nelson DW et al published data when surgery followed by modern therapy in 47 matched pairs was associated with higher 5-year melanoma-specific survival (MSS) versus modern therapy alone (58.8% vs. 38.9%, p = 0.049). But data about modern therapy in BRAF + advanced melanoma with metastasectomy during therapy are limited. Methods: We conducted an observational retrospective chart review study and evaluated a subset of patients which underwent surgery (metastasectomy) with V600 BRAF-mutant advanced melanoma, who received therapy in a real-world setting in Russia. Survival analyses were performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, Log-rank, chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used for comparison between groups. Results: The observed population included 382 patients in Russia. The date of the first enrollment after all approvals was 8 October 2018, and the date of the last completed register was 27 April 2019. Among 382 patients, 107 (28%) patients received surgical treatment for advanced melanoma during modern therapy (removal of metastases from the brain, lungs, soft tissues and other organs). Surgery during first line therapy was performed in 60pts (56%), as second – in 25pts (23.4%) and third or higher line in 22pts (20.6%). Comparison of overall survival curves for all patients depending on the surgical treatment showed that the survival in the subgroup of patients with the presence of surgical treatment was higher than among patients who did not undergo metastasectomy: 24-months OS was 76.7 (95%CI, 65.6 – 84.6) and 53.7% (95%CI, 46.4-60.4), p = 0,0027). Conclusions: Our findings suggest that resection of distant metastases associated with improved overall survival despite all limitations in retrospective nature of the study. While modern systemic therapy have improved outcomes in advanced melanoma, metastasectomy remains associated with favorable survival. Surgery have to be a part of multidisciplinary care for patients with advanced melanoma.
