Purpose or Objective

breast cancer is a heterogenous disease with a deep tailoring level. Evidence are accumulating on the role of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the management of oligometastatic disease. While in other histology there is a large amount of data, the evidence in oligometastatic breast cancer is limited. The aim of the present study is to show the effectiveness of SBRT in delaying the switch to a subsequent systemic treatment line in oligoprogressive breast cancer patients.

Material and Methods

retrospective analysis from two Institutions. The primary end-point was time to next systemic treatment (NEST). Secondary end-points were freedom from local progression (FLP), time to the polymetastatic conversion (tPMC) and overall survival (OS).

Results

One-hundred fifty-three (153) metastases in 79 oligoprogressive breast cancer patients were treated with SBRT. The median follow-up was 24 months. The median NEST was 8 months. Factors predictive of NEST at the multivariate analysis (MVA) was the number of treated oligometastases (HR 1.765, 95%CI 1.322-2.355; p=0.00). Systemic treatment after SBRT was changed in 29 patients for polymetastatic progression and in 10 patients for oligometastatic progression <6 months after SBRT. The 2-year FLP in the overall population was 86.7%. A biological effective dose (BED) >70Gy10 was associated with improved FLP (90% versus 74.2%). The median tPMC was 10 months. At the MVA the only factors significantly associated with tPMC were the number of oligometastases (HR 1.172, 95%CI 1.000-1.368; p=0.03), and the local control of the treated metastases (HR 2.726, CI95% 1.108-6.706; p=0.02).

Conclusion

SBRT can delay the switch to a subsequent systemic treatment, however patient’s selection is necessary. Several predictive factors for treatment tailoring were identified.
