      Background

      To report on the patient, tumor and treatment characteristics of patients treated with salvage lung SBRT (sSBRT) for non-metastatic NSCLC that has relapsed after previous surgical resection, and the resulting clinical outcomes.

      We surveyed our IRB-approved prospective lung SBRT registry for patients who received sSBRT for local recurrence after previous resection of an early stage NSCLC. Following sSBRT, outcomes of interest included local control (LC), overall survival (OS), and treatment-related toxicity graded per CTCAE version 4.0.

      For the interval 2004-2017, 50 (3.4%) pts, of a total of 1,461 lung SBRT cases, met criteria for analysis. Pre-sSBRT surgical approaches were: 23 (46%) wedge resection, 2 (4%) segmentectomy, 20 (40%) lobectomy, 2 (4%) bilobectomy, 1 (2%) pneumonectomy and 1 (2%) with unspecified surgery. At the time of resection, disease stage was: 34 (68%) stage I, 4 (8%) stage II, 5 (10%) stage III and for 3 (6%) pts, pre-operative stage was unknown. Median time to local recurrence after surgery was 27.45 months. At sSBRT, 38 (76%) pts had biopsy-proven recurrence while 12 (24%) had recurrence diagnosed only by radiographic findings. Forty seven (94%) pts could not have surgical salvage due to pulmonary (60%), cardiac (2%), technical unresectability (4%), poor KPS (2%), or multifactorial reasons (26%), with 3 (6%) refusing re-resection. Median age and KPS at salvage treatment was 74 years (range 50-89) and 80 (range 60-100) respectively. The most common sSBRT schedule was 50Gy in 5 fractions (68%), with all schedules having a BED of at least 100 Gy10. Median follow up after sSBRT was 22.2 months (3.8-108.8 months). Eight pts subsequently experienced local or lobar failure (16%), and 9 patients had nodal failure (18%). Median time to local failure after sSBRT was 12.5 months (2-66.1 months). At analysis, 11 (22%) pts remain alive and free from disease progression. At 24 months, LC and OS were 83.6% (95% CI 71.1-96) and 66.7% (95% CI 53.3-80.1). Median OS after sSBRT was 29.3 months. Twenty one (42%) pts failed distantly at a median time of 11.4 months and 12 (24%) pts received systemic therapy following distant failure. 74% of pts experienced no toxicity after sSBRT and three patients (6%) developed grade III toxicity (cough, atelectasis or soft tissue necrosis).

      8eea62084ca7e541d918e823422bd82e Conclusion

      Similar to SBRT for primary early stage NSCLC, sSBRT for local relapse following initial surgical resection of NSCLC offers high rates of LC with limited toxicity. Distant failure remains the primary pattern of failure.
