Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in 30 Gy single dose, for the

treatment of lung lesions.

Material and Methods

from December 2008 to Decembre 2015 a total of 201 lung

lesions in 160 patients affected by lung oligometastatic

disease or primary lung cancer were treated at our

Institution. All lesions were treated with a 30 Gy single

dose SBRT with a stereotactic body frame and a 3-D

conformal technique. One-hundred sixty-six (82.5%)

lesions were metastases, the remainder were primary lung

tumors; main primary tumor sites were lung and colon-

rectum (45.2% and 28.8%, respectively). Primary

endpoints were local progression-free survival (LPFS) and

toxicity, secondary endpoint were disease-free survival

(DFS), metastases-free survival (MFS), overall survival (OS)

and cancer specific survival (CSS).

Results

Median LPFS was not reached; 1- and 2-year LPFS were

88.2% and 77.5%, respectively. Overall response rate was

99.5%, complete response (CR) was achieved in 134

(66.6%) lesions, good or partial response in 43 cases

(21.3%), stable disease in 23 (11.4%) cases and progression

in one case. Local progression occurred in 34 (16.9%)

lesions after a median time of 17 months. Volume <20 cc

correlated with survival. Median survival time was 40

months (range 28-51 months) and 1- and 2-years OS were

84.7% and 63.9%, respectively. Median CSS was 48 months

(range 38-57 months) and 1- and 2-years CSS were 87.1%

and 67.6%, respectively. Median DFS and MFS were 16 and

22 months, respectively, while 1- and 2-years DFS and MFS

were 64.4% and 43.1% and 67% and 48.5%, respectively. On

the multivariate analysis CR was the most important factor

significantly associated with improvement and survival.

Acute toxicity occurred in 43 (21.3%) cases, with 10 (4.9%)

cases of Grade ≥3 toxicity. Late toxicity occurred in 80

(39.8%) lesions and the rate of Grade ≥3 toxicity was 5.9%

(12 lesions).

Conclusion

our study represents, at our knowledge, the largest series

in the literature on the use of SBRT 30 Gy single dose for

lung lesions. Our results confirm the safety and

effectiveness of this schedule, both in primary tumor and

metastases, achieving in selected patients, even long-

term survival. Single dose SBRT is characterized by high

patients’ compliance and it can be easily interfaced with

systemic therapies.

Purpose or Objective

Background. – The target volumes of lung cancer are

underestimated on a standard three-dimensional positron

emission tomography/computed tomography (3D PET/CT)

scan when compared to target volumes defined on

respiratory gated or four-dimensional (4D) imaging. 4D

methods strive to achieve highly conformal radiotherapy

for lung tumours, in the presence of respiratory-induced

motion of tumours and normal tissues.

Purpose. - The differences between two groups of patients

with non small cell lung cancer depending on the imaging

for simulation of radiotherapy (3D vs 4D PET/CT), were

examined.

Material and Methods

A total of 58 patients with NSCLC (45 male and 13 female)

underwent an FDG-PET/CT for radiotherapy planning

purposes. There were 26 patients who performed 3D

PET/CT from 2011 to 2013 and 32 patients had 4D PET/CT

from 2014 to 2016 for the radiotherapy planning. Median

age was 63 (range, 49-89). All patients (58) had locally

advanced stage of NSCLC. Sixteen percent of patients had

atelectasis and 60% mediastinal lymph nodes. Squamous

cell lung cancer has been the most represented (72%

patients), a remnant was adenocarcinoma. All patients

were treated with radical radiotherapy. Dose prescription

ranged from 56 to 70.2Gy. Forty eight patients have

received chemotherapy sequentially.

Results

A comparison of the 3D and 4D volumes has shown that the

4D GTV was on average 58% smaller than the 3D GTV (p <

0.01). The 10 mm 4D planning target volume (PTV) was on

average 28% smaller than the 10 mm 3D PTV (p < 0.01).

There was not statistically significant difference between

two groups of patients regarding the rate of local

recurrence (p=0.3188). However, regarding the rate of

distant metastases there was statistically significant

difference in favour of the 3D imaging group (p=0.0455).

Seven patients in 3D imaging group and 9 from 4D imaging

group lived at the time of analysis. One year disease free

survival (DFS) was 42% for 3D imaging group and 37% for

4D imaging group (p=0.7903). Also, there was not

statistically significant difference regarding 1 year overall

survival (OS) between these two groups of patients

(3D=69% and 4D=50%, p=0.1834).

Conclusion

4D PET/CT is clinically a feasible method, to correct

respiratory motions in the thorax. Our analysis showed

that the definition of GTV and PTV are better in 4D

imaging group. However, there was not differences

between two groups of our patients regarding local

control, as well as DFS and OS.

Purpose or Objective

Local treatment options for patients with in-field non-

small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) recurrence following

conventionally fractionated external beam radiation

therapy (CF-EBRT) are limited. Stereotactic body

radiation therapy (SBRT) is a promising modality to

achieve local control, although toxicity remains a concern.

We report our experience using this novel technique.

Material and Methods

Patients previously treated with high-dose CF-EBRT (≥59.4

Gy, ≤3 Gy/fraction) for non-metastatic NSCLC who

underwent salvage SBRT for localized hilar or mediastinal

in-field recurrence were included in this analysis. Total

SBRT dose was stratified as low (<40 Gy) or high (≥40 Gy).

The Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate local

control and overall survival. Durable local control was

defined as ≥12 months. Toxicity was scored per the CTC-

AE v4.0.

Results

Between November 2004 and August 2014, twenty patients

were treated with five-fraction robotic SBRT for central

in-field recurrence following CF-EBRT. Twelve recurrences

were identified within the mediastinum, and eight were

identified within the hilum. One-half of recurrences were

adenocarcinoma, while 35% of tumors were classified as

squamous cell carcinoma. The median interval between

the end of CF-EBRT and SBRT was 23.3 months (range: 2.6

- 93.6 months). The median CF-EBRT dose was 63 Gy

(range: 59.4 - 75 Gy), the median SBRT dose was 35 Gy

(range: 25 - 45 Gy), and the median total equivalent dose

in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2) was 116 Gy (range: 91.3 - 136.7

Gy). At a median follow-up of 12 months for all patients
