Purpose or Objective

Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) has been

replacing the role of surgery in the management of

operable stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We

aim to assess the outcomes of SABR performed in these

patients.

Material and Methods

Fifty-six patients with clinical stage I NSCLC who

underwent SABR between Nov. 2006 and Jan. 2015 were

analyzed retrospectively. Eligibility for SABR in our

practice was tumor size less than 5cm and peripherally

located tumors. Age ranged 54 to 87 (median 74) and male

to female was 43 to13. ECOG score was 0 in 16, 1 in 25,

and 2 in 15 patients, respectively. Adenocarcinoma was 24

and squamous cell carcinoma was 25. We defined the

patients as medically inoperable based on the lung

function (baseline FEV1 < 40% predicted, DLCO < 50%

predicted), age > 75 yrs & PS >2. Intensity-modulated

radiosurgery was planned and delivered consecutively

with median 60 Gy (range, 55 – 64 Gy) in 3 to 8 fractions.

Median follow-up time was 23.8 months (range, 1.9 - 93.5

months).

Results

The 3-year and 5-year overall (OS) rate of all 56 patients

was 82.9% and 82.9% and progression free survival (PFS)

was 54.8% and 45.6%, respectively. The possible

prognostic parameters such as tumor size, tumor location

(upper vs. lower lobe), gross tumor volume (GTV), SUVmax

of the primary tumor, BED, and operability were entered

into analysis regarding on OS or PFS. PFS was significantly

dependent on the tumor location (p=0.047), tumor size

(>3cm, p< 0.001), GTV (>19cm

3

, p=0.02), and operability.

5-yr PFS of operable (n=42) and inoperable (n=14) was

52.9% vs. 31.3% (p=0.022). OS was significantly dependent

on the tumor size (p=0.046) and BED (>150 Gy, p=0.022).

5-yr OS of operable and inoperable patients was 90.1% vs.

67.7% (p=0.084), respectively.

Conclusion

SABR shows the survival outcomes similar to surgery in

operable stage I NSCLC. Tumor size (>3cm) was the most

significant prognostic factor affecting to OS. We need to

increase the BED of SABR over 150 Gy in cases with

tolerable lung

compliances.

Purpose or Objective

To investigate the risk factors of severe radiation

pneumonitis (RP) after stereotactic radiation therapy

(SRT) for lung tumors.

Material and Methods

We retrospectively evaluated 68 lung tumors in 63 patients

treated with SRT between 2010 and 2015. RP was graded

according to the National Cancer Institute- Common

Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE)

version.4.0. SRT was delivered at 7.0-12.0Gy fractions

once daily to a total of 48-64Gy (median 50). Univariate

and multivariate analyses were performed to assess

patient- and treatment-related factors, including age,

gender, smoking index, pulmonary function, tumor

location, the value of serum Krebs von den Lungen-6 (KL-

6), and dose-volume metrics: V5, V10, V20, V30, V40, and

VS5, V2 of contralateral lung, homogeneity index of PTV

(HI), dose of PTV, mean lung dose (MLD), contralateral

MLD, PTV volume, lung volume, the PTV/Lung volume

ratio (PTV/Lung) . The value of PTV/Lung in predicting RP

was also analyzed with receiver operating characteristic

(ROC) curves.

Results

The median follow-up was 21 months. Ten patients (14.7%)

developed with RP of symptomatic grade2-5 after

completing SRT and three patients (4.4%) died from RP.

On univariate analysis, V10, V20, PTV volume, and

PTV/Lung were significantly associated with occurrence of

RP

grade2 (P<0.05, respectively). On multivariate

analysis, only PTV/Lung was statistically significant

(P<0.05). ROC curves indicated that severe RP could be

predicted using PTV/Lung (area under curve: 0.88, CI:

0.78-0.95, cut off value: 1.09, sensitivity: 90.0%,

specificity: 72.4%)

Conclusion

PTV/Lung could well predict the risk for severe RP after

SRT.

Purpose or Objective

We aimed at evaluating the impact of the dose of

radiotherapy on lung function (LF). LF variations were

evaluated by integrating SPECT/CT pulmonary perfusion

before and after radiotherapy (RT) in patients treated

with radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy for a lung tumor.

Material and Methods

Between 06.2014 and 09.2015, 15 pts presenting a primary

(n = 11) or secondary (n = 4) lung cancer were treated with

radiotherapy +/- chemotherapy (10x3 Gy, 1 pt; 13x3 Gy, 1

pt ; 6x8 Gy, 1 pt; 7x7.5 Gy, 1 pt; 3x18 Gy, 1 pt; 12x4.5 Gy,

1 pt; 5x11 Gy, 1 pt; 30x2Gy 4pts; 33x2Gy, 2 pts; 5x12Gy,

1pt; 12x5Gy, 1 pt). Three pts were treated in a context of

re-irradiation. All patients received a SPECT/CT to

evaluate the LF before and three months after

radiotherapy, which was co-registered with the planning

phase of the simulation CT-scan. For pts treated with

hypo-fractionated regimens, the biological equivalent

dose at 2 Gy/fraction (EQD2) was calculated (alpha / beta

= 10 Gy for acute toxicity). Isodoses (5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50,

60, 70, 80, and 90 Gy) were drawn. Then, we calculated

the activity (MBq) in these volumes before and after

treatment.

Results

Linear regression analysis showed a significant reduction

in LF at three months, which was proportional to the

increase of the radiation dose (p = 0.00017, Figure 1). Our

analysis showed a reduction of 0.14% of the LF for each

delivered gray. Even with the limits of the small

population of this study, the linear equation showed a

predictive value in predicting the loss of LF/Gy of 98% (R

2

= 0.9807).

Conclusion

SPECT/CT is a good imaging modality to assess changes in

LF after thoracic irradiation. This analysis shows a

functional decrease, which is proportional to the delivered

dose, reflecting the functional acute toxicity. These

function-based approaches could improve our knowledge
