Abstract
AIM: To compare outcomes of single-fraction and multi-fraction stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) for pulmonary metastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review from two academic institutions of patients with one to three pulmonary metastases staged with (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (FDG-PET/CT) scans. For single-fraction SABR, 26 Gy was prescribed for peripheral targets and 18 Gy for central targets. In the multi-fraction cohort, 48 Gy/4 or 50 Gy/5 was prescribed for peripheral targets and 50 Gy/5 was prescribed for central targets. Three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) plans were delivered using heterogeneity corrections. Conformity indices at an intermediate dose (R50%) and at a high dose (R100%) were used to assess a relationship with the planning target volume (PTV). Overall survival, local and distant progression and toxicity rates were analysed from the date of treatment completion. RESULTS: Between February 2010 and June 2013, 65 patients with 85 pulmonary metastases were reviewed. The median follow-up was 2.1 years. Metastases most commonly originated from colorectal cancer (31%), followed by non-small cell lung cancer (25%). 3D-CRT was used in 52 targets, IMRT in 21 and VMAT in 12. 3D-CRT showed a lower median R50% (P=0.01), but a higher median R100% than IMRT/VMAT (P=0.04). The R50% index was inversely correlated to the PTV with all techniques (P=0.01). Overall survival at 1 and 2 years in all patients was 93% (95% confidence interval 87-100%) and 71% (95% confidence interval 58-86%), respectively. The 2 year freedom from local and distant progression was 93% (95% confidence interval 86-100%) and 38% (95% confidence interval 27-55%), respectively. There were no significant differences between overall survival (P=0 .14), time to distant progression (P=0.06) or toxicity rates (P=0.75) between single- and multi-fraction cohorts. CONCLUSION: We report comparable local control, overall survival and toxicity rates between single-fraction and multi-fraction SABR treatments in patients with FDG-PET-staged pulmonary oligometastases. We propose a guideline for R50% conformity incorporating 3D-CRT/IMRT/VMAT techniques with heterogeneity corrected planning algorithms.
