Background: Liver metastases (Mets) from genitourinary cancers are difficult to treat and many of them are resistant to systemic therapy. Local-Regional Therapies (LRT) are becoming popular in treating Liver Mets. In this Meta-analysis, we analyze the outcomes of LRT for Liver Mets from Genitourinary Cancers. Methods: We searched PubMed, Google scholar for case reports, case studies, retrospective studies with patients who underwent LRT like Radiofrequency Ablation (RF), Chemoembolization (CE), Microwave Ablation (MA), Cryoablation for liver metastases for from Genitourinary Cancers including Prostate Cancer (PC), Testicular Cancer (TC) and Renal Cell Cancer (RCC). We also included 3 patients from Dignity Health Cancer Center, Phoenix, AZ. Results: Total number of patients in the study is 54, 3 of them from our Center. 39 are men and 15 are women. Mean and median age of the patients was 62.3, 65 years respectively. Number of patients with RCC, PC, TC are 43, 6, 5 respectively. 28 patients had CE, 23 had RFA and 3 had MA with the total number of procedures being 144, 41 and 5 respectively. Mean survival for all the patients is 62.7 months, mean survival for RCC, TC and PC are 68.9, 45.8 and 24.4 months respectively. Median number of systemic therapies received by the patients prior to getting LRT was 2 (range 1-4). We used RECIST criteria to quantify the benefit from LRT, 23 patients had Complete Response (CR), 6 had Partial Response (PR), 14 had Stable Disease (SD) and 8 had Progressive Disease (PD), there was no data for 2 patients. 43 patients had Clinical Benefit. We present a case of castration resistant metastatic PC from our facility. A 78-year man diagnosed metastatic PC in 2007 who had Prostatectomy, salvage radiation, intermittent androgen deprivation and Combined deprivation therapy. But his PSA continued to rise, flutamide was added. In 2017, he had liver metastasis, had RFA twice for 2 liver lesions and had CR. He continues to be on relugolix with good quality of life. Patients in the study are people with advanced metastatic cancer who underwent various systemic therapies like chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy and hormonal therapy prior to getting the LRT. LRT was done as the patients failed or did not tolerate systemic therapies. The mean survival for RCC patients in the study group is greater than the average survival of stage IV RCC, the lower mean survival for PC and TC can be explained by the limited number of this patient population in the study. Conclusions: Combination of LRT with systemic therapy for previously heavily treated Liver Mets from genitourinary cancers is a promising strategy for patients with otherwise poor prognosis.
