Standard treatment for operable patients with single peripheral lung metastases is metastasectomy. We report mature CyberKnife outcomes for high-risk surgical patients with biopsy proven single peripheral lung metastases. Twenty-four patients (median age 73 years) with a mean maximum tumor diameter of 2.5 cm (range, 0.8-4.5 cm) were treated over a 6-year period extending from September 2004 to September 2010 and followed for a minimum of 1 year or until death. A mean dose of 52 Gy (range, 45-60 Gy) was delivered to the prescription isodose line in three fractions over a 3-11 day period (mean, 7 days). At a median follow-up of 20 months, the 2-year Kaplan-Meier local control and overall survival rates were 87 and 50%, respectively. CyberKnife with fiducial tracking is an effective treatment for high-risk surgical patients with single small peripheral lung metastases. Trials comparing CyberKnife with metastasectomy for operable patients are necessary to confirm equivalence.
对于可手术的单发周围性肺转移患者,标准治疗方法是转移灶切除术。我们报告了经活检证实为单发周围性肺转移的高危手术患者接受 CyberKnife 治疗的成熟结果。24 例患者(中位年龄 73 岁),最大肿瘤直径平均为 2.5cm(范围,0.8-4.5cm),在 2004 年 9 月至 2010 年 9 月的 6 年期间接受治疗,随访时间至少 1 年或直至死亡。在 3-11 天(平均 7 天)的时间内,以 3 个分次给予平均剂量为 52Gy(范围,45-60Gy),达到处方等剂量线。中位随访 20 个月时,2 年的 Kaplan-Meier 局部控制率和总生存率分别为 87%和 50%。带有基准点跟踪的 CyberKnife 是治疗单发小周围性肺转移高危手术患者的有效方法。需要进行比较 CyberKnife 与转移灶切除术治疗可手术患者的临床试验,以确认其等效性。
