Materials and methods A literature review focused on studies comparing metastasis-directed stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) vs. external elective nodal radiotherapy (ENRT) and studies analyzing recurrence patterns after local nodal treatment was performed. The DEGRO Prostate Cancer Expert Panel discussed the results and developed treatment recommendations. Results Metastasis-directed radiotherapy results in high local control (often > 90\% within a follow-up of 1-2 years) and can be used to improve progression-free survival or defer androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) according to prospective randomized phase II data. Distant progression after involved-node SABR only occurs within a few months in the majority of patients. ENRT improves metastases-free survival rates with increased toxicity in comparison to SABR according to retrospective comparative studies. The majority of nodal recurrences after initial local treatment of pelvic nodal metastasis are detected within the true pelvis and common iliac vessels. Conclusion ENRT with or without a boost should be preferred to SABR in pelvic nodal recurrences. In oligometastatic prostate cancer with distant (extrapelvic) nodal recurrences, SABR alone can be performed in selected cases. Application of additional systemic treatments should be based on current guidelines, with ADT as first-line treatment for hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. Only in carefully selected patients can radiotherapy be initially used without additional ADT outside of the current standard recommendations. Results of (randomized) prospective studies are needed for definitive recommendations.}, language = {en} } @article{MantelMuellerKleineetal.2021, author = {Mantel, Frederick and M{\"u}ller, Elena and Kleine, Philip and Zimmermann, Marcus and Exner, Florian and Richter, Anne and Weick, Stefan and Str{\"o}hle, Serge and Polat, B{\"u}lent and H{\"o}cht, Stefan and Flentje, Michael}, title = {Chemoradiotherapy by intensity-modulated radiation therapy with simultaneous integrated boost in locally advanced or oligometastatic non-small-cell lung cancer-a two center experience}, series = {Strahlentherapie und Onkologie}, volume = {197}, journal = {Strahlentherapie und Onkologie}, number = {5}, issn = {1439-099X}, doi = {10.1007/s00066-021-01756-7}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:bvb:20-opus-264821}, pages = {405-415}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Purpose Integrating moderate hypofractionation to the macroscopic tumor with elective nodal irradiation while sparing the organs at risk (OAR) in chemoradiotherapy of locally advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. Methods From 2010-2018, treatment, patient and tumor characteristics of 138 patients from two radiation therapy centers were assessed. Chemoradiotherapy by intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with a simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) to the primary tumor and macroscopic lymph node metastases was used. Results A total of 124 (90\%) patients received concurrent chemotherapy. 106 (76\%) patients had UICC (Union for International Cancer Control) stage ≥IIIB and 21 (15\%) patients had an oligometastatic disease (UICC stage IV). Median SIB and elective total dose was 61.6 and 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions, respectively. Furthermore, 64 patients (46\%) had an additional sequential boost to the primary tumor after the SIB-IMRT main series: median 6.6 Gy in median 3 fractions. The median cumulative mean lung dose was 15.6 Gy (range 6.2-29.5 Gy). Median follow-up and radiological follow-up for all patients was 18.0 months (range 0.6-86.9) and 16.0 months (range 0.2-86.9), respectively. Actuarial local control rates at 1, 2 and 3 years were 80.4, 68.4 and 57.8\%. Median overall survival and progression-free survival was 30.0 months (95\% confidence interval [CI] 23.5-36.4) and 12.1 months (95\% CI 8.2-16.0), respectively. Treatment-related toxicity was moderate. Radiation-induced pneumonitis grade 2 and grade 3 occurred in 13 (9.8\%) and 3 (2.3\%) patients. Conclusions Chemoradiotherapy using SIB-IMRT showed promising local tumor control rates and acceptable toxicity in patients with locally advanced and in part oligometastatic lung cancer. The SIB concept, resulting in a relatively low mean lung dose, was associated with low numbers of clinically relevant pneumonitis. The overall survival appears promising in the presence of a majority of patients with UICC stage ≥IIIB disease.}, language = {en} }
