Systematic review of stereotactic body radiotherapy in stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

ABSTRACT: Despite adequate treatment, 50% of stage III locally advanced inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients have a locoregional relapse. Local control on early stages on the contrary, is as high as 85-90% with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). The addition of SBRT to conventional chemoradiation or its use in monotherapy in stage III NSCLC is a novel strategy to decrease local failure that has been explored by various authors. This is a systematic review of studies using SBRT in inoperable stage III NSCLC. Search results obtained 141 articles of which only 6 original studies were pointed as relevant. Three of these studies were prospective, of which 2 were phase I dose-scalation studies and remaining 3 were retrospective. In summary, SBRT outcomes on 134 patients were included. Median dose in the SBRT treatment was 22.5 Gy in 2 to 7 fractions. Obtained global toxicity was 3.7% grade 5 and 14.17% grade 3. Dose-escalation studies proposed a 2 fraction SBRT schedule of 20-24 Gy, obtaining a 78% local control rate at 1 year and an OS of 67%. Initial improvement in local control with this innovative therapeutic strategy has led to ongoing phase II and III clinical trials that will evaluate the efficiency of SBRT in stage III NSCLC clinical scenario.

Project description:ObjectivesTo compare patterns of care and overall survival (OS) between stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and percutaneous local tumor ablation (LTA) for non-surgically managed early-stage non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Materials and methodsThe National Cancer Database (NCDB) was queried from 2004 to 2014 for adults with non-metastatic, node-negative invasive adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma of the lung with primary tumor size ≤5.0 cm who did not undergo surgery or chemotherapy and received SBRT or LTA. Patterns of care were assessed with multivariate logistic regression. After propensity-score weighting with generalized boosted regression, OS was assessed with univariate and doubly-robust multivariate Cox regression.ResultsOf 15,792 patients, 14,651 (93%) received SBRT and 1141 (7%) received LTA. Increasing age (OR 1.01, p = .035), treatment at an academic institution (OR 2.94, p < .001), increasing tumor size (OR 1.05, p < .001), and more recent year of diagnosis (OR 1.43, p < .001) were predictive of treatment with SBRT, whereas comorbidities (OR 0.74, p = .003) and treatment at a high-volume facility (OR 0.05, p < .001) were predictive for LTA. At a median follow-up of 26.2 months, SBRT was associated with improved OS relative to LTA within a propensity-score weighted doubly-robust multivariate analysis (HR 0.71, p < .001). On weighted subgroup analyses, improved OS was observed with SBRT for tumor sizes >2.0 cm (HR 0.72, p < .001) and for those treated at high-volume facilities (HR 0.71, p < .001). No OS difference was found with SBRT or LTA in tumor sizes ≤2.0 cm (HR 0.90, p = .227).ConclusionWithin the NCDB, SBRT was more commonly utilized and was associated with improved OS when compared to percutaneous LTA for patients with non-surgically managed early-stage NSCLC. Patients with small tumor volumes likely represent an appropriate population for future prospective randomized comparisons between SBRT and LTA.
