To evaluate tolerability, pathologic response, and disease outcomes utilizing pre-operative stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) followed by consolidation chemotherapy (CHT) prior to orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) in unresectable cholangiocarcinoma (CCA).
This was a retrospective chart review of patients treated on OLT protocol at a single tertiary center from 2012 to 2019. Patients received pre-operative SBRT (40-50 Gy in 5 fractions) followed by CHT until progression or OLT. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were compared via log-rank test and Cox proportional hazards regression.
26 patients (84.6% hilar, 15.4% intrahepatic) were identified for analysis. Eight patients (30.8%) patients developed acute toxicity after SBRT, mostly grade 1 nausea. Nine (34.6%) patients underwent OLT of which 4 (44.4%) achieved a pathologic complete response (pCR). Five (55.6%) OLT patients, including 2 pCR, developed recurrence at a median time of 49.9 weeks after OLT. 3-year OS for the OLT and dropout cohort was 75% and 9%, respectively (p < 0.0001). OS in hilar tumors only was statistically different for those that achieved a pCR (p = 0.014).
Pre-operative SBRT is a well-tolerated and effective radiation technique as part of OLT protocol for unresectable CCA and conferred in a pCR rate of 44% within our cohort.
评估不可切除的胆管细胞癌（CCA）患者在接受原位肝移植（OLT）前，使用术前立体定向体放射治疗（SBRT）联合巩固化疗（CHT）的耐受性、病理反应和疾病转归。
这是对 2012 年至 2019 年在一家三级中心接受 OLT 方案治疗的患者进行的回顾性图表审查。患者接受术前 SBRT（5 次分割，每次 40-50Gy），然后进行 CHT 治疗，直至进展或接受 OLT。通过对数秩检验和 Cox 比例风险回归比较无进展生存期（PFS）和总生存期（OS）。
共纳入 26 例患者（84.6%为肝门部，15.4%为肝内）进行分析。8 例（30.8%）患者在 SBRT 后出现急性毒性反应，主要为 1 级恶心。9 例（34.6%）患者接受了 OLT，其中 4 例（44.4%）获得了病理完全缓解（pCR）。5 例（55.6%）OLT 患者，包括 2 例 pCR，在 OLT 后中位时间 49.9 周后复发。OLT 和失访组的 3 年 OS 分别为 75%和 9%（p<0.0001）。仅在肝门部肿瘤中，pCR 患者的 OS 存在统计学差异（p=0.014）。
术前 SBRT 是一种耐受性良好且有效的放射治疗技术，作为不可切除 CCA 的 OLT 方案的一部分，在我们的队列中获得了 44%的 pCR 率。
