Predictors of Nodal and Metastatic Failure in Early Stage Non-small-cell Lung Cancer After Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND:Many patients with early stage non-small-cell lung cancer (ES-NSCLC) undergoing stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) develop metastases, which is associated with poor outcomes. We sought to identify factors predictive of metastases after lung SBRT and created a risk stratification tool. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We included 363 patients with ES-NSCLC who received SBRT; the median follow-up was 5.8 years. The following patient and tumor factors were retrospectively analyzed for their association with metastases (defined as nodal and/or distant failure): gender; age; lobe involved; centrality; previous NSCLC; smoking status; gross tumor volume (GTV); T-stage; histology; dose; minimum, maximum, and mean GTV dose; and parenchymal lung failure. A metastasis risk-score linear-model using beta coefficients from a multivariate Cox model was built. RESULTS:A total of 111 (27.3%) of 406 lesions metastasized. GTV and dose were significantly associated with metastases on univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazards modeling (P < .001 and hazard ratio [HR], 1.02 per mL; P < .05 and HR, 0.99 per Gy, respectively). Histology, T-stage, centrality, lung parenchymal failures, and previous NSCLC were not associated with development of metastasis. A metastasis risk-score model using GTV and prescription dose was built: risk score = (0.01611 × GTV) - (0.00525 × dose [BED10]). Two risk-score cutoffs separating the cohort into low-, medium-, and high-risk subgroups were examined. The risk score identified significant differences in time to metastases between low-, medium-, and high-risk patients (P < .001), with 3-year estimates of 81.1%, 63.8%, and 38%, respectively. CONCLUSION:GTV and radiation dose are associated with time to metastasis and may be used to identify patients at higher risk of metastasis after lung SBRT.

Project description:IntroductionThe present study explores changes in pulmonary function, symptoms and radiological signs of pneumonitis after curatively intended stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT).MethodsAll inoperable, early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) from 2014-2017 were included in this single-centre study. They were followed regularly for 12 months after treatment. The patients were classified into three groups based on radiology and symptomatology: no radiation pneumonitis, asymptomatic and symptomatic radiation pneumonitis.ResultsForty-four patients with stage IA-IIB disease were treated with 45-56 Gy in 3-8 fractions. The median age was 75 years, 43% of the patients were female; 60% of the patients had a COPD in GOLD grade of 2-4, and 95.5% were active or former smokers. Symptomatic radiation pneumonitis occurred in 18% of the patients and asymptomatic pneumonitis as defined by radiology, in 39%. The mean of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and diffusion capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) decreases for all patients during the first years were higher than one would expect from physiologic ageing. FEV1 and DLCO in percent decrease 7-8% at 1-1.5 months in the symptomatic radiation pneumonitis group. CT scan findings consistent with radiation pneumonitis occurred after a median of 2.9 months in the symptomatic and 5.4 months in the asymptomatic radiation pneumonitis groups. In the group with symptomatic radiation pneumonitis, symptoms, as measured by the Clinical COPD questionnaire score, significantly increased at 3 and 6 months. Significant higher maximum doses to the critical lung volumes DC1000cm3 (1000 cm3 of lung receiving a given dose or less) and DC 1500cm3 (1500 cm3 of lung receiving a given dose or less) were observed in patients who developed radiation pneumonitis.ConclusionEarly decrease in measured FEV1 and DLCO occurred before imaging changes and symptoms and might indicate the development of symptomatic radiation pneumonitis. The dose to critical lung volumes of DC1000 cm3 and DC1500 cm3 may predict the risk for the development of symptomatic radiation pneumonitis.
