Project description:Stage IV non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) exists on a spectrum, with a subset of patients presenting with oligometastatic disease involving only a limited number of distant sites. For these patients, local consolidative therapy (LCT) has been demonstrated to improve outcomes through ablation or cytoreduction of metastatic disease, as shown in an increasing number of randomized controlled trials. In particular, stereotactic ablative body radiation (SABR) has emerged as a feasible treatment modality for elimination of oligometastatic sites. This focused review examines the underlying biologic mechanisms and clinical data in support of SABR in the setting of oligometastatic NSCLC. Following a comprehensive evaluation of the pertinent retrospective, prospective, and anticipated trials to date, we summarize the evidence regarding patient selection, treatment safety, and technical considerations to provide guidance of this approach for clinicians.

Project description:Metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is associated with a limited survival when treated with palliative intent platinum-based chemotherapy alone. Recent advances in imaging and therapeutic strategy have identified a subset of patients with limited metastases who may benefit from early local ablative therapy with either surgery or radiotherapy, in addition to standard treatment. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is increasingly used in the treatment of extra-cranial oligometastatic NSCLC (OM-NSCLC) due its non-invasive conduct and ability to deliver high doses. Clinical evidence supporting the use of SBRT in OM-NSCLC is emerging and consistently demonstrates significant benefit in local control and progression-free survival. Here, we discuss the definition of oligometastases (OM), review current available data on SBRT treatment in extra-cranial OM-NSCLC including evidence for site-specific SBRT in lung, liver, and adrenal metastases.

Project description:Liver metastasis in solid tumors, including colorectal cancer, is the most frequent and lethal complication. The development of systemic therapy has led to prolonged survival. However, in selected patients with a finite number of discrete lesions in liver, defined as oligometastatic state, additional local therapies such as surgical resection, radiofrequency ablation, cryotherapy, and radiotherapy can lead to permanent local disease control and improve survival. Among these, an advance in radiation therapy made it possible to deliver high dose radiation to the tumor more accurately, without impairing the liver function. In recent years, the introduction of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) has offered even more intensive tumor dose escalation in a few fractions with reduced dose to the adjacent normal liver. Many studies have shown that SABR for oligometastases is effective and safe, with local control rates widely ranging from 50% to 100% at one or two years. And actuarial survival at one and two years has been reported ranging from 72% to 94% and from 30% to 62%, respectively, without severe toxicities. In this paper, we described the definition and technical aspects of SABR, clinical outcomes including efficacy and toxicity, and related parameters after SABR in liver oligometastases from colorectal cancer.

Project description:In metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the role of radiotherapy (RT) has been limited to palliation to alleviate the symptoms. However, with the development of advanced RT techniques, recent advances in immuno-oncology therapy targeting programmed death 1 (PD-1) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and targeted agents for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation or anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK) translocation allowed new roles of RT in these patients. Within this metastatic population, there is a subset of patients with a limited number of sites of metastatic disease, termed as oligometastasis that can achieve long-term survival from aggressive local management. There is no consensus on the definition of oligometastasis; however, most clinical trials define oligometastasis as having 3 to 5 metastatic lesions. Recent phase II randomized clinical trials have shown that ablative RT, including stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) and hypofractionated RT, to primary and metastatic sites improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in patients with oligometastatic NSCLC. The PEMBRO-RT study, a randomized phase II study comparing SABR prior to pembrolizumab therapy and pembrolizumab therapy alone, revealed that the addition of SABR improved the overall response, PFS, and OS in patients with advanced NSCLC. The efficacy of RT in oligometastatic lung cancer has only been studied in phase II studies; therefore, large-scale phase III studies are needed to confirm the benefit of local ablative RT in patients with oligometastatic NSCLC. Local intensified RT to primary and metastatic lesions is expected to become an important treatment paradigm in the near future in patients with metastatic lung cancer.

Project description:BackgroundStereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is an emerging noninvasive approach for the treatment of oligometastases. Limited prospective evidence is available in breast cancer.ObjectivesTo determine the safety and feasibility of single fraction SABR for patients with bone only oligometastatic breast cancer. Secondary endpoints were local and distant progression-free survival (LPFS and DPFS), toxicity and response assessment.Methods and materialsIn this single institution prospective trial we screened patients with computed tomography, bone scan, and sodium fluoride positron emission tomography. Eligible patients had one to three bone only oligometastases. All patients were treated at a dose of 20Gy in 1 fraction to each metastasis. Kaplan-Meier methods were used to determine local and distant progression free survival (LPFS and DPFS). Toxicity was graded using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Event version 4.0.Results15 eligible patients were recruited to the study. Median follow-up time was 24 months. The treatment was feasible in 12 (80%) of patients with 3 (20%) of patients having treatment delayed by more than 3 days. 10 (67%) of patients experienced grade 1 treatment related toxicity, 4 (27%) experienced grade 2 toxicity and no patients experienced grade 3 or 4 treatment related toxicity. The two-year LPFS was 100%, DPFS was 67%.ConclusionWe observed that SABR is feasible, well tolerated and effective in this cohort with two thirds of patients disease-free at two years. In selected patients with bone-only oligometastatic disease, SABR could be considered a treatment option. Randomised trials are required to assess the impact of SABR on overall survival when compared to the standard of care.

Project description:BackgroundResearch in treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) has shown promising results with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) of oligometastatic disease, wherein distant disease may be limited to one or a few distant organs by host factors. Traditionally, PET/CT has been used in detecting metastatic disease and avoiding futile surgical intervention, however, sensitivity and specificity is limited to only 81 and 79%, respectively. Mediastinal staging still identifies occult nodal disease in up to 20% of NSCLC patients initially thought to be operative candidates. Endobronchial ultrasound and transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is a minimally invasive tool for the staging and diagnosis of thoracic malignancy. When EBUS is combined with endoscopic ultrasound using the same bronchoscope (EUS-B), the diagnostic sensitivity and negative predictive value increase to 84 and 97%, respectively. Endoscopic staging in patients with advanced disease has never been studied, but may inform treatment if a curative SABR approach is being taken.MethodsThis is a multi-centre, prospective, cohort study with two-stage design. In the first stage, 10 patients with oligometastatic NSCLC (lung tumour ± hilar/mediastinal lymphadenopathy) with up to 5 synchronous metastases will be enrolled An additional 19 patients will be enrolled in the second stage if rate of treatment change is greater than 10% in the first stage. Patients will be subject to EBUS or combined modality EBUS/EUS-B to assess bilateral lymph node stations using a N3 to N2 to N1 progression. Primary endpoint is defined as the rate of change to treatment plan including change from SABR to conventional dose radiation, change in mediastinal radiation field, and change from curative to palliative intent treatment.DiscussionIf a curative approach with SABR for oligometastatic disease is being explored, invasive mediastinal staging may guide treatment and prognosis. This study will provide insight into the use of endoscopic mediastinal staging in determining changes in treatment plan of NSCLC. Results will inform the design of future phase II trials.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT04852588. Date of registration: April 19, 2021.Protocol version1.1 on December 9, 2021.

Project description:PurposeWe examined the characteristics of breast cancer patients with oligometastases (OM) treated with stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) to identify factors associated with local progression, distant metastasis progression, time to subsequent therapy, progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed a single-institution database of patients treated with radiotherapy between 2008 and 2018 and identified 79 patients who received SABR to OM. Twenty-seven patients had genetic testing of metastatic tumors using an institutional targeted sequencing platform. Kaplan-Meier analysis, Cox regression, and competing risk models were used to compare clinical and genetic correlates with outcomes.ResultsMedian follow-up was 50 months (IQR: 29-66) with 67% of patients alive at the last follow-up. Of the 65% of patients who progressed, 82% progressed outside of the radiation field, 18% experienced local failure, and 80% had oligoprogression. Median OS was 86 months (IQR: 29-66), and PFS was 33 months (IQR: 10-38). Less than 5 years from diagnosis to SABR and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) were associated with worse OS. Advanced T stage, any prior chemotherapy, and TNBC were associated with worse PFS. Alterations in CEBPB, RB1, TBX3, PTEN, and CDK4 were associated with worse survival outcomes.ConclusionLong-term systemic disease control and survival can be achieved with SABR for oligometastatic breast cancer. Hormone receptor-positive patients with a long disease interval from initial diagnosis and limited systemic progression history may be ideal for SABR to all sites of disease.

Project description:Recent data suggests that "ultra-central" tumors, generally defined as those abutting the proximal airways, are at particularly high risk for severe complications when treated with stereotactic ablative body radiation (SABR). However, this association has not been consistently demonstrated across reports, possibly due to small numbers, varying definitions of "ultra-central", and the lack of prospective data. New evidence suggests that exposure to VEGF-inhibiting agents may potentiate SABR toxicity and may partially explain the disproportionately high incidence of fatal complications in some reports. Efforts are underway to identify dose-volume limits that can predict complications involving central structures such as the proximal airways, heart, esophagus, and great vessels. The optimal dose for ultra-central SABR has not been determined, though there is a trend towards using more highly fractionated regimens. Further research into the safety of SABR for ultra-central tumors is needed, given the lack of other effective local therapy options for this clinical scenario.
