In my experience biology almost makes this a non-issue. I try to never say never, but I can't think of a time any of these super responders had visceral metastases. We are virtually always talking about non-regional lymph nodes.
My personal approach to these has morphed over time. I initially agreed to try chemoRT for aggressive palliation on a couple folks with the thought they were probably going to live a while. I always went into it with the understanding that if/when toxicity became an issue we would stop and count whatever they got as palliaiton. I have probably done this 10 times or so and never had any issues.
The bigger question in my mind comes down to surgery. I have combed the data and its not that helpful. There are some institutional things but they are old and don't really apply to this group of patients. Mayo had one series that didn't look great but in the very small subset (<10, so has to be taken with a grain of salt) of patients who got surgery after a good response to chemo and radiation, survival wasn't that different from traditional esophageal patients. We are not operating on these folks. Around half of them have ended up being complete responders and we just monitor with imaging and EGDs. In a way, this isn't that surprising since we selected the patients who responded well in the first place. These guys are easy because patients and providers alike feel comfortable just watching things. The ones that fail tend to fail quick as one would expect and again its easy to know what to do here. The harder cases are the few where there is a little residual uptake in the esophagus but nothing else distant. We keep them on chemo after RT and over 6+ months still nothing else comes up. Its real hard to know what to do with them. Our thoughts are to keep close tabs on these folks and see if we can convince ourselves that they really do well enough long-term to consider surgery a reasonable option. To be clear, we are talking about an exceedingly small number of patients.
As to fields, I personally only treat what is avid at the time of radiation. I do not chase non-regional disease that "resolved" after chemo. I am still operating under the assumption that radiation is probably palliative.
