MA 09.01 - A Propensity-Matched Analysis of Lobectomy and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Early Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (ID 10452)
11:00 - 11:05 | Author(s): J. Liu
- Abstract
- Presentation
Background:
Lobectomy is the preferred treatment for patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is an attractive option due to its promising efficacy reported recently. Given that prospective comparative data on lobectomy and SBRT are limited, we compared the two treatments for early stage NSCLC.
Method:
All patients undergoing treatment with lobectomy or SBRT for clinical early stage (T size≤5cm) NSCLC between January 2012 and June 2017 were reviewed. Age, gender, tumor characteristics, Charson Comorbidity Index, pulmonary function, local control rate (LCR), recurrence-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS) data were collected and propensity matching performed.
Result:
For the entire lobectomy cohort, 3-year OS, DFS, and LCR were 87.9%, 84.9%, and 96.4% respectively. For the entire SBRT cohort, 3-year OS, RFS and LCR were 84.4%, 60.7% and 93.4%, respectively. A total of 246 patients underwent surgery, and 117 received SBRT. There were statistically difference between surgical patient and SBRT patients in tumor histology(P<0.000). Surgical patients had tendency that have longer tumor size than SBRT patients (2.4±1.0 vs. 2.1±0.8, P=0.092). There were no statistically difference between lobectomy and SBRT group with age (68.9±6.6 vs.69.0±9.2, P=0.980), Eastern Coorperative Oncology Group performance scores, Charlson comorbidity Index, pulmonary function test result (FEV1 and predict FEV1), gender, T stage, and tumor location. A propensity matched comparison in a blinded manner (1:1 ratio, caliper distance=0.0025) based on age, gender, WHO performance status score, pulmonary function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second [FEV1] % and FEV1), and T stage resulted in 49 matched pairs. The follow-up period ranged from 0.3 to 60.0 months, with a median of 21.4 months. There were no differences between lobectomy and SBRT in LCR, respectively 97.1% and 100% (p=0.355) at 4 year. Also the 4-year RFS was comparable between groups, as 68.6% after lobectomy, versus 81.9% at 4 year after SBRT (p=0.963). The 4-year OS was similar in both groups, with 58.1% vs. 75.2% for lobectomy and SBRT (p=0.774). No patient experienced treatment-related death in both groups.
Conclusion:
This retrospective analysis found no significant difference in LCR, RFS and OS between lobectomy and SBRT. This study indicated matching these disparate cohorts of patients remains challenging. Participation in clinical trials is essential to define the indications and relative efficacy of lobectomy and SBRT in a high-risk population.

P3.14-015 - A Propensity Matched Analysis of SBRT and Sublobar Resection for Stage I Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer in Patients at High Risk for Lobectomy (ID 9862)
09:30 - 09:30 | Author(s): J. Liu
- Abstract
Background:
The aim of this study was to perform a survival comparison between stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) and sublobar resection (SLR) in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) at high risk for lobectomy.
Method:
All patients who underwent SBRT or SLR because of medical comorbidities for clinical stage I NSCLC from January 2008 to December 2015 were reviewed retrospectively. Propensity score matching was performed to reduce selection bias between SBRT and SLR patients based on age, gender, performance status, tumour characteristics, pulmonary function. Overall survival (OS) and recurrence-free survival (RFS) were estimated with Kaplan–Meier method.
Result:
Forty-nine patients were matched into each group of SBRT and SLR (include 27 underwent segmentectomy, 22 underwent wedge resection). There were 32 and 30 men with median age of 67 and 69 years, respectively. Median follow-up was 25 months. In terms of treatment-related mortality, the 30- day mortality rates for the SBRT and SLR groups were 0 and 2.0 %, respectively. Patients treated by SBRT had a tendency to increase 3-year OS compared with SLR (94.0% versus 78.1%; P= 0.064).There was no difference between two groups in 3-year RFS (61.8% versus 65.7%; P=0.864). In a subanalysis, 3-year OS after SBRT was greatly better than wedge resection subgroup (94.0% versus 67.4%; P= 0.026), but there was no significant difference between SBRT and segmentectomy in 3-year OS (94.0% versus 88.0%; P= 0.212).
Conclusion:
SBRT had a tendency to increase OS compared with sublobar resection in patients who are not medically fit for lobectomy with clinical stage I NSCLC. However, OS after SBRT was better than wedge resection subgroup. SBRT can be an alternative treatment option to segmentectomy for patients who cannot tolerate lobectomy because of medical comorbidities. A randomized prospective study is necessary to determine survival in compromised SBRT and sublobar resection.
