Predicting 5-Year Progression and Survival Outcomes for Early Stage Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Treated with Stereotactic Ablative Radiation Therapy: Development and Validation of Robust Prognostic Nomograms.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Our purpose was to develop predictive nomograms for overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and time-to-progression (TTP) at 5 years in patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (ES-NSCLC) treated with stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR).

Methods and materials

The study cohort included 714 ES-NSCLC patients treated with SABR from 2004-2015 with median follow-up of 59 months, divided into training and testing sets (8:2), with the former used for nomogram development. The least absolute shrinkage and selection operator were initially employed to screen for predictors of OS, PFS, and TTP, and identified predictors were subsequently applied toward Cox proportional hazards regression modeling. Significant predictors (P < .05) on multivariable regression were then used to develop nomograms, which were validated via evaluation of concordance indexes (C-index) and calibration plots. Finally, Kaplan-Meier method and Gray's test were employed to compare and confirm differences in outcomes among various groups and explore prognostic factors associated with local versus distant disease progression.

Results

Significant predictors of both OS and PFS at 5 years included age, sex, Charlson comorbidity index, diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide, systemic immune-inflammation index, and tumor size (P ? .01 for all). Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status predicted for OS as well (P = .01), and both tumor size (P < .01) and minimum biological equivalent dose to 95% of planning target volume (PTV D95 BED₁₀; P < .01) were predictive of TTP. The C-indexes for the OS, PFS, and TTP nomograms were 0.73, 0.68, and 0.60 in the training data set and 0.72, 0.66, and 0.59 in the testing data set, respectively. Tumor size > 2.45 cm and PTV D95 BED₁₀ < 113 Gy were significantly associated with both local and distant progression.

Conclusions

These prognostic nomograms can accurately predict for OS, PFS, and TTP at 5 years after SABR for ES-NSCLC and may thus help identify high-risk patients who could benefit from additional systemic therapy.

Project description:PurposeFor inoperable stage I (T1-T2N0) small cell lung cancer (SCLC), national guidelines recommend chemotherapy with or without conventionally fractionated radiation therapy. The present multi-institutional cohort study investigated the role of stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) for this population.Methods and materialsThe clinical and treatment characteristics, toxicities, outcomes, and patterns of failure were assessed in patients with histologically confirmed stage T1-T2N0M0 SCLC. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate the survival outcomes. Univariate and multivariate analyses identified predictors of outcomes.ResultsFrom 24 institutions, 76 lesions were treated in 74 patients (median follow-up 18 months). The median age and tumor size was 72 years and 2.5 cm, respectively. Chemotherapy and prophylactic cranial irradiation were delivered in 56% and 23% of cases, respectively. The median SABR dose and fractionation was 50 Gy and 5 fractions. The 1- and 3-year local control rate was 97.4% and 96.1%, respectively. The median disease-free survival (DFS) duration was 49.7 months. The DFS rate was 58.3% and 53.2% at 1 and 3 years, respectively. The median, 1-year, and 3-year disease-specific survival was 52.3 months, 84.5%, and 64.4%, respectively. The median, 1-year, and 3-year overall survival (OS) was 17.8 months, 69.9%, and 34.0% respectively. Patients receiving chemotherapy experienced an increased median DFS (61.3 vs 9.0 months; P=.02) and OS (31.4 vs 14.3 months; P=.02). The receipt of chemotherapy independently predicted better outcomes for DFS/OS on multivariate analysis (P=.01). Toxicities were uncommon; 5.2% experienced grade ≥2 pneumonitis. Post-treatment failure was most commonly distant (45.8% of recurrence), followed by nodal (25.0%) and "elsewhere lung" (20.8%). The median time to each was 5 to 7 months.ConclusionsFrom the findings of the largest report of SABR for stage T1-T2N0 SCLC to date, SABR (≥50 Gy) with chemotherapy should be considered a standard option.

Project description:PurposePatients 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 materialsPatients 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.ResultsA 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.ConclusionsThis 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:BackgroundPatients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC) treated with systemic therapy sometimes progress at limited sites.The best treatment approach for patients with oligoprogression remains unclear.ObjectiveTo determine the ability of stereotactic ablative radiation (SAbR) to extend ongoing systemic therapy in mRCC patients with oligoprogression.Design, setting, and participantsA single-arm phase II clinical trial was conducted at a university medical center and county hospital, including 20 patients with mRCC on first- to fourth-line systemic therapy with three or fewer sites of progression (including new sites) involving ≤30% of all sites.InterventionSAbR to oligoprogressing metastases at outset and longitudinally, while radiated sites remain controlled and overall disease oligoprogressive.Outcome measurements and statistical analysisThe primary objective was to extend ongoing systemic therapy by >6 mo in >40% of patients. Secondary endpoints included overall survival, toxicity, and patient-reported quality of life.Results and limitationsTwenty patients were enrolled. Upfront and sequential SAbR was administered to a total of 37 sites. The local control rate was 100%. At a median follow-up of 10.4 mo (interquartile range: 5.8-16.4), SAbR extended the duration of the ongoing systemic therapy by >6 mo in 14 patients (70%, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 49.9-90.1). The median time from SAbR to the onset of new systemic therapy or death was 11.1 mo (95% CI: 4.5-19.3). The median duration of SAbR-aided systemic therapy was 24.4 mo (95% CI: 15.3-42.2). Median overall survival was not reached. One patient developed grade 3 gastrointestinal toxicity possibly related to treatment. There was no significant decline in quality of life. Limitations include nonrandomized design and a small patient cohort.ConclusionsSAbR extended the duration of the ongoing systemic therapy for patients with oligoprogressive mRCC without undermining quality of life. These data support the evaluation of SAbR for oligoprogressive mRCC in a prospective randomized clinical trial.Patient summaryPatients with metastatic kidney cancer on systemic therapy but progressing at limited sites may benefit from focused radiation to progressive sites. Focused radiation was safe and effective, and extended the duration of the ongoing systemic therapy.
