Sarcoma spinal metastases (SSM) are particularly difficult to manage given their poor response rates to chemotherapy and inherent radioresistance. We evaluated outcomes in a cohort of patients with SSM uniformly treated using single-fraction simultaneous-integrated-boost (SIB) spine stereotactic radiosurgery (SSRS).
A retrospective review was conducted at a single tertiary institution treated with SSRS for SSM between April 2007-April 2023. 16-24 Gy was delivered to the GTV and 16 Gy uniformly to the CTV. Kaplan-Meier analysis was conducted to assess time to progression of disease (PD) with proportionate hazards modelling used to determine hazard ratios (HR) and respective 95 % confidence intervals (CI).
70 patients with 100 lesions underwent SSRS for SSM. Median follow-up was 19.3 months (IQR 7.7-27.8). Median age was 55 years (IQR42-63). Median GTV and CTVs were 14.5 cm (IQR 5-32) and 52.7 cm (IQR 29.5-87.5) respectively. Median GTV prescription dose and biologically equivalent dose (BED) [α/β = 10] was 24 Gy and 81.6 Gy respectively. 85 lesions received 24 Gy to the GTV. 27 % of patients had Bilsky 1b or greater disease. 16 of 100 lesions recurred representing a crude local failure rate of 16 % with a median time to failure of 10.4 months (IQR 5.7-18) in cases which failed locally. 1-year actuarial local control (LC) was 89 %. Median overall survival (OS) was 15.3 months (IQR 7.7-25) from SSRS. Every 1 Gy increase in GTV absolute minimum dose (DMin) across the range (5.8-25 Gy) was associated with a reduced risk of local failure (HR = 0.871 [95 % CI 0.782-0.97], p = 0.009). 9 % of patients developed vertebral compression fractures at a median of 13 months post SSRS (IQR 7-25).
This study represents one of the most homogenously treated and the largest cohorts of patients with SSM treated with single-fraction SSRS. Despite inherent radioresistance, SSRS confers durable and high rates of local control in SSM without unexpected long-term toxicity rates.
肉瘤脊柱转移瘤(SSM)因其对化疗反应率低和固有的放射抵抗性而特别难以治疗。我们评估了一组使用单次分割同步整合加量(SIB)脊柱立体定向放射外科(SSRS)进行统一治疗的SSM患者的治疗结果。
在一家单一的三级医疗机构进行回顾性研究,该机构在2007年4月至2023年4月期间对SSM患者进行了SSRS治疗。向大体肿瘤体积(GTV)给予16 - 24 Gy的剂量,并向临床靶体积(CTV)均匀给予16 Gy的剂量。采用Kaplan-Meier分析评估疾病进展时间(PD),并使用比例风险模型确定风险比(HR)和各自的95%置信区间(CI)。
70例患者的100个病灶接受了SSM的SSRS治疗。中位随访时间为19.3个月(四分位间距7.7 - 27.8)。中位年龄为55岁(四分位间距42 - 63)。GTV和CTV的中位体积分别为14.5 cm(四分位间距5 - 32)和52.7 cm(四分位间距29.5 - 87.5)。GTV处方剂量和生物等效剂量(BED)[α/β = 10]的中位值分别为24 Gy和81.6 Gy。85个病灶的GTV接受了24 Gy的剂量。27%的患者患有Bilsky 1b级或更高级别的疾病。100个病灶中有16个复发,粗局部失败率为16%,局部失败的病例中位失败时间为10.4个月(四分位间距5.7 - 18)。1年精算局部控制率(LC)为89%。从SSRS开始计算的中位总生存期(OS)为15.3个月(四分位间距7.7 - 25)。在整个范围(5.8 - 25 Gy)内,GTV绝对最小剂量(DMin)每增加1 Gy,局部失败风险降低(HR = 0.871 [95% CI 0.782 - 0.97],p = 0.009)。9%的患者在SSRS后中位13个月(四分位间距7 - 25)出现椎体压缩性骨折。
本研究代表了接受单次分割SSRS治疗的SSM患者中治疗最均匀且规模最大的队列之一。尽管存在固有的放射抵抗性,但SSRS在SSM中能提供持久且高的局部控制率,且无意外的长期毒性发生率。
