Purpose or Objective

The role of local ablative treatments, including stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), is an area of active research in oligometastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients. Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has a poor prognosis, with common diffuse metastatic evolution.

We evaluated the outcomes after SBRT in rare cases of oligoprogressive / oligorecurrent SCLC patients.

Material and Methods

The data of SCLC patients who received SBRT for oligoprogressive / oligorecurrent disease in two French centers were retrospectively analyzed. Synchronous oligometastatic disease, SBRT for primary lung tumor and brain radiosurgery patients were not included in this analysis. Relapse and survival rates were defined as the time between the date of SBRT and the first event.

Results

Thirteen patients (male, 69%; n=7/13, all with initially limited stage), presenting 17 lesions were identified. All patients received prior treatments (thoracic chemoradiotherapy [n=7/13] and/or chemotherapy [n=6/13; median number of one line, range, 0-2 lines; only one received immunotherapy]) and the median ECOG PS was 1 (n=11/13). The main type of presentation was metachronous oligometastatic disease (n=10; vs 3 oligoprogression) and occurred at a median of 17.2 months after initial diagnosis. SBRT was delivered to one (n=9) to two (n=4) lesions (median size, 22 mm [range, 7-44 mm]) at a median dose of 48 Gy (range, 30-55 Gy) in 5 fractions (range, 5-10 fractions), mainly to lung [n=13/17] metastases. At a median follow-up of 3.2 years, no local relapse was observed but most (n=10) experienced distant relapse (DR). The median DR and overall survival rates were 3.6 months [95%CI: 2.5-13.7 months] and 12.6 months [95%CI: 7.5-29.9 months], respectively. The was no severe observed SBRT-related toxicities.

Conclusion

Prognosis was poor, with DR occurring in most patients. However, local control was excellent and long term response after SBRT may occur in oligoprogressive / oligorecurrent SCLC. Local ablative treatments should be discussed in a multidisciplinary setting on well-selected cases.
