ABSTRACT
A large pooled analysis of liver oligometastases, classified accordingly to the ESTRO/EORTC recommendations, treated by stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) and Radiosurgery (SRS) was carried out. The clinical and dosimetric data of patients who underwent SBRT/SRS for liver metastases were analysed in terms of efficacy and toxicity profile. In particular, the Local Control (LC), the Distant Metastases Free Survival (DMFS), the Disease-Free Survival (DFS), the Overall Survival (OS), and the Next Systemic Therapy Free Survival (NEST-FS) rates were analysed. 113 patients (M/F 49/64), accounting for a total of 150 hepatic lesions (March 2006-February 2023) in two Italian radiotherapy Institutions were evaluated. Median age was 67 years old (36-92) and 48 (42.5%) patients had at least one comorbidity. The majority of the lesions were induced (30.7%) or repeated oligoprogressive (12.7%) metastases. 98 lesions were treated with more than one daily fraction (mainly 50 Gy in 5 fractions), while 52 were radiosurgery treatments (mainly 32 Gy). The treatment response at 3-4 months was evaluable in 147 lesions complete response was 32.0%, partial response 17.0%, and stable disease 32.0%. Actuarial LC, DMFS, DFS, OS, and NEST-FS at 1 year were 75.8%, 37.7%, 34.9%, 78.7%, and 59.4% respectively; while actuarial LC, DMFS, DFS, OS, and NEST-FS at 2 years were 52.1%, 24.9%, 21.9%, 51.3%, and 36.8%, respectively. The achievement of complete response, synchronous oligometastases, and no treatment interruptions correlated with a more favorable outcomes. As per the toxicity profile, we registered only two acute and one late toxicity cases higher than grade 2. Stereotactic treatment for liver metastases seems to be a safe and promising option in terms of local control. The best results in term of outcomes have been obtained in patients with complete response, synchronous oligometastases, favorable histology, and no treatment interruptions.
