A meta-analysis comparing stereotactic body radiotherapy vs conventional radiotherapy in inoperable stage I non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) superseded conventional radiotherapy (CRT) for the treatment of patients with inoperable early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) over a decade ago. However, the direct comparisons of the outcomes of SBRT and CRT remain controversial. This meta-analysis was performed to compare the survival and safety of SBRT and CRT in patients with inoperable stage I NSCLC. METHODS:We systematically searched the Cochrane Library, Embase, PubMed, Web of Science, Ovid MEDLINE, ScienceDirect, Scopus and Google Scholar for relevant articles. Overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), lung cancer-specific survival (LCSS), local control rate (LCR) and adverse effects (AEs) were the primary outcomes. RESULTS:We identified 11,110 articles, 17 of which were eventually included in this study; these 17 articles had 17,973 patients (SBRT: 7395; CRT: 10,578). Compared to CRT for the treatment of inoperable stage I NSCLC, SBRT had superior survival in terms of OS (hazard ratio [HR]: 0.66, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.62-0.70, P?

Project description:To examine disease control and survival after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for medically inoperable, early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and determine associations of pretreatment 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) maximum standardized uptake values (SUVmax), biologically effective dose, and mediastinal staging with disease control and survival outcomes.We retrospectively reviewed the cases of consecutive patients with FDG-PET-staged, medically inoperable NSCLC treated with SBRT at our institution between January 1, 2008, and August 4, 2014. Cumulative incidences of recurrence were estimated, accounting for the competing risk of death. Associations of SUVmax, biologically effective dose, and mediastinal staging with outcomes were evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression models.Among 282 patients, 2-year cumulative incidences of recurrence were 4.9% (95% CI, 2.6%-8.3%) for local, 9.8% (95% CI, 6.3%-14.2%) for nodal, 10.8% (95% CI, 7.0%-15.5%) for ipsilateral lung, 6.0% (3.3%-9.8%) for contralateral lung, 9.7% (95% CI, 6.3%-14.0%) for distant recurrence, and 26.1% (95% CI, 20.4%-32.0%) for any recurrence. The 2-year overall survival was 70.4% (95% CI, 64.5%-76.8%), and the 2-year disease-free survival was 51.2% (95% CI, 44.9%-58.5%). Risk of any recurrence was significantly higher for patients with higher SUVmax (hazard ratio [per each doubling], 1.29 [95% CI, 1.05-1.59]; P=.02). A similar association with SUVmax was observed when considering the composite outcome of any recurrence or death (hazard ratio, 1.23 [95% CI, 1.05-1.44]; P=.01). The SUVmax was not significantly associated with other outcomes (P?0.69). Two-year cumulative incidences of local recurrence for patients receiving 48 Gy in 4 fractions, 54 Gy in 3 fractions, or 50 Gy in 5 fractions were 1.7% (95% CI, 0.3%-5.6%), 3.7% (95% CI, 0.7%-11.4%), and 15.3% (95% CI, 5.9%-28.9%), respectively (P=.02); this difference was independent of lesion size (P=.02).Disease control was excellent for patients who received SBRT for early-stage NSCLC, and this series represents the largest single-institution experience from the United States on SBRT for early-stage inoperable NSCLC. Higher pretreatment FDG-PET SUVmax was associated with increased risk of any recurrence, and the 50 Gy in 5 fractions dose prescription was associated with increased risk of local recurrence.

Project description:Background: Approximately 20% resectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients are treated non-surgically due to various reasons. The aim of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with stage IA NSCLC who were ineligible for surgery using the surveillance, epidemiology and end-results (SEER) Database. Methods: Using the SEER registry, we identified a total of 6,195 IA NSCLC patients who received SBRT or RFA between 2004 and 2015 because of ineligibility for surgical resection due to various reasons. Complete clinical information was available in all these patients. Overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) were compared between RFA and SBRT groups by using propensity score matching (PSM), inverse probability of treatment weight (IPTW), and overlap weighting analysis. Additionally, an exploratory analysis was conducted to determine the effectiveness of RFA treatment based on the subsets of clinically relevant patients. Results: Of the 6,195 nonsurgical IA NSCLC patients, 191 patients (3.1%) received RFA and the other 6,004 patients (96.9%) received SBRT. The one-, three- and five-year OS in the unmatched RFA and SBRT groups were 83.3%, 48.5%and 29.1% vs. 83.8%, 48.3% and 27.4%, respectively, there was similar results in the PSM, IPTW, overlap weighing analysis. Nonsurgical IA NSCLC patients receiving RFA seemed to have better five-year survival than those receiving SBRT, though the difference was not statistically significant (OS, HR; 0.986; 95% CI, 0.827-1.175, P=0.8738; CSS, HR; 0.965; 95% CI, 0.765-1.219, P=0.7663). We found that the odds of receiving RFA decreased with larger tumor size (>2, <3 cm, OR; 0.303; 95% CI, 0.191-0.479; >3 cm, OR; 0.153; 95% CI, 0.093-0.251) compared with tumor size <1 cm. In subgroup analysis, patients receiving RFA seemed to have better OS than those receiving SBRT, though the difference was not statistically significant. This specific trend was even more obvious in patients with tumors <1cm in diameter (P=0.1577). Conclusion: In comparison with SBRT, RFA did not seem to adversely affect CSS and OS of IA NSCLC patients who were not suitable for surgical treatment. In addition, RFA seemed to offer better survival to IA NSCLC patients, especially those with tumors <1 cm.

Project description:ImportancePrevious comparisons of surgery and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for early-stage (ES) non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) did not account for the extent of regional lymph node examination (LNE) during surgery.ObjectiveTo compare long-term overall survival (OS) of patients with ES NSCLC after surgery vs SBRT when the extent of regional LNE in patients undergoing surgery is thoroughly considered.Design, setting, and participantsCohort study with survival comparisons using the multivariable Cox proportional hazards model and after propensity score matching. Data from the National Cancer Database were analyzed from October 28, 2018, through April 18, 2019. Patients with ES NSCLC diagnosed between January 1, 2004, and December 31, 2015, who underwent any curative-intent surgery or SBRT were included.Main outcomes and measuresLong-term OS.ResultsOf 104 709 total patients, 91 330 underwent surgery (42 508 [46.5%] male; median [interquartile range] age, 68 [61-75] years) and 13 379 received SBRT (6065 [45.3%] male; median [interquartile range] age, 75 [68-81] years). Surgery, especially lobectomy (hazard ratio [HR], 0.53; 95% CI, 0.50-0.56), and regional LNE, especially when more than 10 lymph nodes were examined (HR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.69-0.77), were associated with better long-term OS (P < .001). Pneumonectomy was not associated with reduced mortality risk when 0 nodes were examined (HR for stage T1, 1.43; 95% CI, 0.67-3.06; P = .35; HR for stage T2-T3, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.34-1.13; P = .12) or when more than 15 nodes were examined for stage T1 disease in patients younger than 80 years (HR, 0.77; 95% CI, 0.54-1.09; P = .14) or when patients aged 80 years or older received regional LNE of any extent (>15 nodes examined: HR for stage T1, 0.65; 95% CI, 0.16-2.64; P = .54; HR for stage T2-T3, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.50-1.60; P = .71). Less extensive surgery was not associated with improved OS when 0 nodes were examined in patients aged 80 years or older with stage T2 to T3 tumors (HR for lobectomy, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.65-1.25; P = .53) and in selected operable patients older than 75 years with stage T1 tumors (HR for lobectomy, 1.07; 95% CI, 0.57-2.00; P = .84).Conclusions and relevanceThis study found that, overall, surgery coupled with regional LNE of appropriate extent was associated with the best long-term OS in patients with ES NSCLC.
