The 50-month results of a prospective Phase II trial of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in medically inoperable patients are reported.
A total of 70 medically inoperable patients had clinically staged T1 (34 patients) or T2 (36 patients) (< or =7 cm), N0, M0, biopsy-confirmed non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) and received SBRT as per our previously published reports. The SBRT treatment dose of 60-66 Gy was prescribed to the 80% isodose volume in three fractions.
Median follow-up was 50.2 months (range, 1.4-64.8 months). Kaplan-Meier local control at 3 years was 88.1%. Regional (nodal) and distant recurrence occurred in 6 (8.6%) and 9 (12.9%) patients, respectively. Median survival (MS) was 32.4 months and 3-year overall survival (OS) was 42.7% (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 31.1-54.3%). Cancer-specific survival at 3 years was 81.7% (95% CI, 70.0-93.4%). For patients with T1 tumors, MS was 38.7 months (95% CI, 25.3-50.2) and for T2 tumors MS was 24.5 months (95% CI, 18.5-37.4) (p = 0.194). Tumor volume (< or =5 cc, 5-10 cc, 10-20 cc, >20 cc) did not significantly impact survival: MS was 36.9 months (95% CI, 18.1-42.9), 34.0 (95% CI, 16.9-57.1), 32.8 (95% CI, 21.3-57.8), and 21.4 months (95% CI, 17.8-41.6), respectively (p = 0.712). There was no significant survival difference between patients with peripheral vs. central tumors (MS 33.2 vs. 24.4 months, p = 0.697). Grade 3 to 5 toxicity occurred in 5 of 48 patients with peripheral lung tumors (10.4%) and in 6 of 22 patients (27.3%) with central tumors (Fisher's exact test, p = 0.088).
Based on our study results, use of SBRT results in high rates of local control in medically inoperable patients with Stage I NSCLC.
报告立体定向体部放射治疗(SBRT)用于医学上无法手术的患者的前瞻性II期试验的50个月结果。
共有70例医学上无法手术的患者,临床分期为T1(34例)或T2(36例)(≤7 cm),N0,M0,经活检确诊为非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC),并按照我们之前发表的报告接受SBRT治疗。SBRT治疗剂量为60 - 66 Gy,分三次给予80%等剂量体积。
中位随访时间为50.2个月(范围1.4 - 64.8个月)。3年时的Kaplan - Meier局部控制率为88.1%。区域(淋巴结)和远处复发分别发生在6例(8.6%)和9例(12.9%)患者中。中位生存期(MS)为32.4个月,3年总生存率(OS)为42.7%(95%置信区间[95%CI],31.1 - 54.3%)。3年癌症特异性生存率为81.7%(95%CI,70.0 - 93.4%)。对于T1期肿瘤患者,MS为38.7个月(95%CI,25.3 - 50.2),对于T2期肿瘤患者,MS为24.5个月(95%CI,18.5 - 37.4)(p = 0.194)。肿瘤体积(≤5 cc、5 - 10 cc、10 - 20 cc、>20 cc)对生存率无显著影响:MS分别为36.9个月(95%CI,18.1 - 42.9)、34.0个月(95%CI,16.9 - 57.1)、32.8个月(95%CI,21.3 - 57.8)和21.4个月(95%CI,17.8 - 41.6)(p = 0.712)。周围型与中央型肿瘤患者的生存率无显著差异(MS分别为33.2个月和24.4个月,p = 0.697)。48例周围型肺肿瘤患者中有5例(10.4%)发生3 - 5级毒性反应,22例中央型肿瘤患者中有6例(27.3%)发生3 - 5级毒性反应(Fisher精确检验,p = 0.088)。
基于我们的研究结果,SBRT用于医学上无法手术的I期NSCLC患者可获得较高的局部控制率。
