Histology, Tumor Volume, and Radiation Dose Predict Outcomes in NSCLC Patients After Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:It remains unclear if histology should be independently considered when choosing stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy dose prescriptions for NSCLC. METHODS:The study population included 508 patients with 561 lesions between 2000 and 2016, of which 442 patients with 482 lesions had complete dosimetric information. Eligible patients had histologically or clinically diagnosed early-stage NSCLC and were treated with 3 to 5 fractions. The primary endpoint was in-field tumor control censored by either death or progression. Involved lobe control was also assessed. RESULTS:At 6.7 years median follow-up, 3-year in-field control, involved lobe control, overall survival, and progression-free survival rates were 88.1%, 80.0%, 49.4%, and 37.2%, respectively. Gross tumor volume (GTV) (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.01 per mL, p = 0.0044) and histology (p = 0.0225) were independently associated with involved lobe failure. GTV (HR = 1.013, p = 0.001) and GTV dose (cutoff of 110 Gy, biologically effective dose with ?/? = 10 [BED10], HR = 2.380, p = 0.0084) were independently associated with in-field failure. For squamous cell carcinomas, lower prescription doses were associated with worse in-field control (12 Gy × 4 or 10 Gy × 5 versus 18 Gy or 20 Gy × 3: HR = 3.530, p = 0.0447, confirmed by propensity score matching) and was independent of GTV (HR = 1.014 per mL, 95% confidence interval: 1.005-1.022, p = 0.0012). For adenocarcinomas, there were no differences in in-field control observed using the above dose groupings (p = 0.12 and p = 0.31, respectively). CONCLUSIONS:In the absence of level I data, GTV and histology should be considered to personalize radiation dose for stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy. We suggest lower prescription doses (i.e., 12 Gy × 4 or 10 G × 5) should be avoided for squamous cell carcinomas if normal tissue tolerances are met.

Project description:Purpose:Patients with oligometastatic colorectal cancer have demonstrated excellent clinical outcomes with surgical resection of hepatic and pulmonary metastases. Stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) has emerged as an alternative local therapy for nonsurgical candidates. Herein, we report the oncologic and patient-reported quality-of-life (PR-QoL) outcomes for a subset of patients with oligometastatic colorectal cancer who were treated in a prospective phase 2 multicenter clinical trial. Methods and materials:Patients with a pathologically proven diagnosis of oligometastatic colorectal cancer were enrolled as part of a prospective study. SABR dose and fractionation schedules were dependent on the lesion location and size. Patient follow-up occurred 6 weeks after completion of SABR and at 3-month intervals for the following 3 years. Patients received the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General questionnaire at baseline and at each follow-up visit to assess PR-QoL. The total Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General questionnaire scores were compared with those from baseline using the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Overall survival, local progression-free survival (PFS), and distant PFS were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier estimation to the date of the last follow-up visit/death or local/distant failure. Results:A total of 31 patients with oligometastatic colorectal cancer with 1 (71.0%), 2 (16.1%), 3 (3.2%), 4 (3.2%), or 5 (6.5%) metastatic lesions were identified. After a median follow-up time of 50.1 months, the median OS from the time of completion of the SABR was 53.9 months (95% confidence interval, 23.2-84.6), and the 5-year OS, local PFS, and distant PFS were 45%, 83%, and 27%, respectively. Acute grade 2+ toxicity was 9.7% (pain, nausea, fatigue) and late grade 3+ toxicity (small bowel obstruction) was 3.2% with no significant change in PR-QoL in the year after SABR. Conclusions:This subset analysis of a prospective phase 2 study demonstrates that SABR is a safe and effective treatment option for patients with unresectable oligometastic colorectal cancer. In addition, SABR of oligometastatic disease preserves PR-QoL.

Project description:Prostate is the most common non-cutaneous cancer diagnosed among men in North America. Fortunately most prostate cancers are screen detected and non-metastatic on diagnosis. Treatment options for men with localized prostate cancer include surgery ± postoperative radiation or radiation ± androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Brachytherapy ± external beam radiation treatment (EBRT) appears to have superior long-term disease control over EBRT alone likely because of higher biologic effective dose delivered. Stereotactic ablative body radiation (SABR) is a novel, non-invasive, high-precision EBRT technique that allows safe delivery of biologic doses similar to brachytherapy with similar or lower side effects [measured using toxicity or quality of life (QOL) scales]. Efficacy for SABR appears to be similar to brachytherapy including positive biopsy rates 2-3 years post treatment, biochemical failure (BF) rates out to 10-year and incidence of metastases. SABR dose escalation reduces biopsy positivity and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) nadirs but increases genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity-no effect on BF has been realized yet. The overall treatment time (OTT) varies in many protocols. Phase 2 randomized data shows that QOL is better in the acute setting with a weekly course of treatment compared to an every other day treatment regimen with no difference in late setting. Follow-up data are immature and likely underpowered to determine efficacy differences. SABR is cheaper and uses less resource than any other radiation technique. Given the healthcare resource challenges (including financial resources), SABR would be a welcomed addition if studies show non-inferiority to other radiation techniques. For patients with de novo or metastatic disease on relapse, there is much enthusiasm regarding the use of SABR in the setting of oligometastatic prostate cancer. SABR appears to be feasible to deliver, well tolerated and may delay the next line of therapy. However, until adequately powered randomized studies confirm a benefit, such an approach cannot be considered standard of care treatment at this time. Enrollment of eligible prostate cancer patients onto SABR clinical trials should be encouraged.
