ABSTRACT: Purpose
Optimal management of isolated local recurrences after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for early non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is unknown and literature describing repeat SBRT for in-field recurrences after initial SBRT are sparse. We investigate the safety and efficacy of salvage SBRT for isolated local failures after initial SBRT for NSCLC.Methods/materials
Patients receiving SBRT for isolated local recurrence after initial SBRT for early NSCLC were identified using a prospective registry. Both courses were 3-5 fractions with a biologically effective dose (BED10) of ?100?Gy. Local failure was defined as within 1?cm of the initial planning target volume (PTV) or an overlap of the ?25% isodose lines of the first and second treatments. Failures >1?cm beyond the PTV and without ?25% overlap, or with additional recurrence sites were excluded. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to estimate survival.Results
A total 21 patients receiving salvage SBRT from 2008 to 2017 were identified. Median interval from initial SBRT to salvage SBRT was 23?months (7-52). Six patients (29%) had central tumors. Median follow-up time from salvage SBRT was 24?months (3-60). Median overall survival after salvage was 39?months. After reirradiation, two-year primary tumor control was 81%, regional nodal control was 89%, distant control was 75% and overall survival was 68%. Grade 2 pneumonitis occurred in 2 patients (10%) and grade 2 chest wall toxicity in 4 patients (19%). No grade 3+ toxicity was observed.Conclusions
Salvage SBRT for isolated local failures after initial SBRT appears safe, with low treatment-related toxicity and encouraging rates of tumor control.
