Efficacy and tolerability of stereotactic body radiotherapy for lung metastases in three patients with pediatric malignancies.

ABSTRACT: Purpose: To report a case series of 3 pediatric patients treated with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for lung metastases. Patients and methods: Three patients (ages 9, 11, and 21) received SBRT for rhabdoid tumor, Ewing sarcoma, and Wilms tumor histologies, respectively. SBRT doses were 37.5-50 Gy in 3-5 fractions treating twelve lesions. Results: Three patients (ages 9, 11, and 21) received photon SBRT for pulmonary metastases. The patients were as follows: 1) 21-year-old male with favorable histology Wilms tumor and 1 lesion treated, 2) 11-year-old female with Ewing sarcoma and 1 lesion treated for relapse after previous whole lung radiation (15 Gy), and 3) 9-year-old female with rhabdoid tumor of the left thigh with 10 lesions treated over a two-year period. Median dose delivered was 40 Gy (range, 37.5-50 Gy), delivered in a median of 4 fractions (range, 4-5) of a median of 10 Gy per fraction (range, 9.4-10 Gy). Within a minimum follow-up of 1.9 years (range 1.9-4 years), local control for all 13 treated metastases is 100% without any observed acute toxicities. One possible late toxicity (grade 2 rib fracture) developed 1.3 years following SBRT for treatment of a peripheral lesion (rhabdoid tumor) in an area of disease progression and was managed conservatively. Two patients are surviving 2.9 years (Wilms tumor) and 1.9 years (Ewing sarcoma) after SBRT, and one (rhabdoid tumor) expired 2 years after her final course (4 years after initial SBRT). Two patients (rhabdoid tumor and Ewing sarcoma) suffered disease progression outside of the treated lesions and one patient (Wilms tumor) is without evidence of disease and has not required whole lung irradiation or further systemic therapy. Conclusion: SBRT appears effective and well tolerated for pediatric lung metastases, however further studies are warranted.

Project description:ObjectivesTo report overall survival and local control for patients identified in the RSSearch® Patient Registry with metastatic cancer to the lung treated with SBRT.MethodsSeven hundred two patients were identified with lung metastases in the RSSearch® Registry. Of these patients, 577 patients had SBRT dose and fractionation information available. Patients were excluded if they received prior surgery, radiation, or radiofrequency ablation to the SBRT treated area. Between April 2004-July 2015, 447 patients treated with SBRT at 30 academic and community-based centers were evaluable for overall survival (OS). Three hundred four patients with 327 lesions were evaluable for local control (LC). All doses were converted to Monte Carlo equivalents and subsequent BED Gy10 for dose response analysis.ResultsMedian age was 69 years (range, 18-93 years). Median Karnofsky performance status (KPS) was 90 (range 25/75% 80-100). 49.2% of patients had prior systemic therapy. Median metastasis volume was 10.58 cc (range 25/75% 3.7-25.54 cc). Site of primary tumor included colorectal (25.7%), lung (16.6%), head and neck (11.4%), breast (9.2%), kidney (8.1%), skin (6.5%) and other (22.1%). Median dose was 50 Gy (range 25/75% 48-54) delivered in 3 fractions (range 25/75% 3-5) with a median BED of 100Gy10 (range 25/75% 81-136). Median OS for the entire group was 26 months, with actuarial 1-, 3-, and 5-year OS of 74.1%, 33.3, and 21.8%, respectively. Patients with head and neck and breast cancers had longer median OS of 37 and 32 months respectively, compared to colorectal (30 months) and lung (26 months) which corresponded to 3-year actuarial OS of 51.8 and 47.9% for head and neck and breast respectively, compared to 35.8% for colorectal and 31.2% for lung. The median LC for all patients was 53 months, with actuarial 1-, 3-, and 5-year LC rates of 80.4, 58.9, and 46.3%, respectively. There was no difference in LC by primary histologic type (p = 0.49). Improved LC was observed for lung metastases that received SBRT doses of BED ≥100Gy10 with 3-year LC rate of 77.1% compared to 45% for lung metastases treated with BED < 100Gy10 (p = 0.01). Smaller tumor volumes (<11 cc) had improved LC compared to tumor volumes > 11 cc. (p = 0.005) Two-year LC rates for tumor volumes < 11 cc, 11-27 cc and > 27 cc were 72.9, 64.2 and 45.6%, respectively. This correlated with improved OS with 2-year OS rates of 62.4, 60.9 and 46.2% for tumor volumes < 11 cc, 11-27 cc and > 27 cc, respectively (p = 0.0023). In a subset of patients who received BED ≥100Gy10, 2-year LC rates for tumor volumes < 11 cc, 11-27 cc and > 27 cc were 82.8, 58.9 and 68.6%, respectively (p = 0.0244), and 2-year OS rates were 66.0, 58.8 and 28.5%, respectively (p = 0.0081).ConclusionExcellent OS and LC is achievable with SBRT utilizing BED ≥100Gy10 for lung metastases according to the RSSearch® Registry data. Patients with small lung metastases (volumes < 11 cc) had better LC and OS when using SBRT doses of BED ≥100Gy10. Further studies to evaluate a difference, if any, between various tumor types will require a larger number of patients.
