Abstract

To estimate stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) efficacy and its potential role as an alternative to surgery for the treatment of lung metastases from colorectal cancer.Forty consecutive patients who received SABR as first local therapy at the time of lung progression were included, from 2004 to 2014. The primary study endpoint was overall survival. Secondary endpoints were progression-free survival and safety.A single nodule was treated in 26 patients (65\%), 2 nodules in 10 patients (25\%), 3 in 3 patients (7.5\%), and 4 in 1 patient (2.5\%), for a total of 59 lesions. The median delivered biological effective dose was 96 Gy, in 1 to 8 daily fractions. Median follow-up time was 20 months (range, 3-72 months). Overall survival rates at 1, 2, and 5 years were, respectively, 84\%, 73\%, and 39\%, with 14 patients (35\%) dead. Median overall survival was 46 months. Progression occurred in 25 patients (62.5\%), at a median interval of 8 months; failure at SABR site was observed in 3 patients (7.5\%). Progression-free survival rates were 49\% and 27\% at 1 and 2 years, respectively.The results of this retrospective exploratory analysis suggest safety and efficacy of SABR in patients affected with colorectal cancer lung oligometastases and urge inclusion of SABR in prospective clinical trials.
