P2.01-63 - Are Heart Doses Associated with Survival in NSCLC Treated with Post-Operative Radiotherapy? A National Population-Based Study (ID 11304)
16:45 - 18:00 | Author(s): Huili Zheng
- Abstract
Background
Some early studies suggested that post-operative thoracic radiotherapy (PORT) using non-modern radiation techniques in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) might cause significant treatment-related toxicities. Higher radiation doses to the heart have been recently linked to more cardiac events and worse overall survival (OS) in patients with locally-advanced NSCLC treated with thoracic irradiation. We embarked on a national population-based study to assess the association between radiation heart doses, acute myocardial infarct (AMI) rates and OS in NSCLC patients treated with PORT using contemporary radiation techniques.

Study eligibility criteria included stage I to III NSCLC treated with PORT from 2007 to 2014 in our public hospitals which comprised about 80% of national caseload. The clinical and dosimetric data were collected from the institutional electronic medical records and linked to the national death and AMI registries. Univariate Cox regression was performed using STATA version 13.

43 eligible patients were identified. Median follow-up duration was 36.6 months. Characteristics of study population are summarized in Table 1. There were no AMI events. The 1- and 2-year OS were 74% and 65%. Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that age (hazard ratio, 1.06; 95% confidence interval, 1.01 to 1.10; P= 0.008) was the only significant factor associated with OS. Radiation heart doses, including mean heart dose, volume of heart receiving at least 5, 25, 30, 40, 50 Gy and dose to 30% of heart volume, were not associated with OS.

This study found that various radiation heart doses were not significantly associated with OS in patients with NSCLC treated with PORT. Studies with larger sample size and longer term follow-up are needed to assess cardiac outcome, given the possibility of late occurrence of AMI events.
