RESUMO
PURPOSE: We present a large real-world multicentric dataset of ovarian, uterine and cervical oligometastatic lesions treated with SBRT exploring efficacy and clinical outcomes. In addition, an exploratory machine learning analysis was performed. METHODS: A pooled analysis of gynecological oligometastases in terms of efficacy and clinical outcomes as well an exploratory machine learning model to predict the CR to SBRT were carried out. The CR rate following radiotherapy (RT) was the study main endpoint. The secondary endpoints included the 2-year actuarial LC, DMFS, PFS, and OS. RESULTS: 501 patients from 21 radiation oncology institutions with 846 gynecological metastases were analyzed, mainly ovarian (53.1%) and uterine metastases(32.1%).Multiple fraction radiotherapy was used in 762 metastases(90.1%).The most frequent schedule was 24 Gy in 3 fractions(13.4%). CR was observed in 538(63.7%) lesions. The Machine learning analysis showed a poor ability to find covariates strong enough to predict CR in the whole series. Analyzing them separately, in uterine cancer, if RT dose≥78.3Gy, the CR probability was 75.4%; if volume was <13.7 cc, the CR probability became 85.1%. In ovarian cancer, if the lesion was a lymph node, the CR probability was 71.4%; if volume was <17 cc, the CR probability rose to 78.4%. No covariate predicted the CR for cervical lesions. The overall 2-year actuarial LC was 79.2%, however it was 91.5% for CR and 52.5% for not CR lesions(p < 0.001). The overall 2-year DMFS, PFS and OS rate were 27.3%, 24.8% and 71.0%, with significant differences between CR and not CR. CONCLUSIONS: CR was substantially associated to patient outcomes in our series of gynecological cancer oligometastatic lesions. The ability to predict a CR through artificial intelligence could also drive treatment choices in the context of personalized oncology.
