“You Can Stereo That, Right?” The Unavoidable Uses of Lung SBRT Matthew Harkenrider, MD James Graham Brown Cancer Center University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, KY
Case #1 • 87 year old caucasian male • Presented to PCP with lower extremity edema • CXR – LLL lung nodule • CT Chest – 2.9x2.6cm LLL spiculated nodule • PET/CT – SUV 6.4, no enlarged nodes, no mets • PMH – hypertension, arthritis • SH - 30 pack h/o smoking, no significant EtOH use
Case #1 • CT-guided biopsy • Very few epitheliod cells, amorphous non-cellular debris, rare histiocytes and rare fibrovascular tissue • Non-diagnostic • Patient experienced hemorrhage during the procedure • Patient evaluated by thoracic surgeon but declined VATS lobectomy or wedge resection • Referred to radiation oncology for SBRT
Unbiopsied Lung Cancer • Radiographic characteristics of malignancy • Irregular, spiculated appearance • Enlarging on serial imaging • Hypermetabolic on FDG-PET • Sensitivity of PET is 95-100% Sazon et al. AmJ Respir Crit Car Med, 1996. Dewan et al. Chest, 1993.
Unbiopsied Lung Cancer • Patients often have poor pulmonary function and emphysematous blebs • Complications of CT-guided biopsy • Pneumothorax - 4-27% • Chest tube insertion – 1-5% • Pulmonary hemorrhage – 0.3-4% Priola et al.

Case #1 • PET/CT 6 mos. post-SBRT
SBRT for Unbiopsied Early Stage Lung Cancer – A Multi-Institutional Analysis • Conclusions • SBRT can be safely delivered for unbiopsied primary lung tumors • Favorable rates of local control can be achieved • Tissue diagnosis should still be obtained if biopsy can be safely performed
Case #2 • 71 year old female • Acute onset DOE • History of a lung nodule in the left apex • CXR on admission showed enlargement of the nodule • CT confirmed growth now measuring 2.9x2.3 cm • PET/CT showed SUV of 4.8 • PMH – COPD, HTN, 2L home oxygen • SH – 2.5 ppd smoking for 66 years • Biopsy reveals SCC of the lung • Not a surgical candidate
Case #2 • Treated with 3D-CRT to 70 Gy in 2 Gy fractions without chemotherapy • Plan changed at 56 Gy to avoid brachial plexus • 3 month CT – decreased to 1.2 cm • 6 month PET/CT - stable size, decreased SUV • 9 month CT – stable size • 12 month PET/CT – spiculated 2.3x1.9 cm lesion with SUV 10.3 at the site of previously treated disease

SBRT for Non-Pathologically Diagnosed Lung Cancer Patients • There were no acute or chronic grade 3 or greater toxicities with SBRT for recurrent tumors • Conclusions • SBRT can be safely delivered for patients with recurrent NSCLC • Encouraging rate of local control can be achieved
Lung SBRT for Oligometastatic Disease • Halsted theory of cancer spread • Local Lymphatic Systemic • Systemic theory of cancer spread • If the tumor is to metastasize, then it has already done so, and is hence a systemic disease • Hellman and Weichselbaum theory • Combination of the two theories • Describes low volume and number of metastases that is potentially curable
Lung SBRT for Oligometastatic Disease • International Registry of Lung Metastases • 5,206 cases of lung metastatectomy • 5 year survival – 36% • 15 year survival – 22% • Phase I/II multi-institutional trial of SBRT • Patients with 1-3 lesions • Grade 3 toxicity 8% • No grade 4 toxicity “Long-term results of lung metastasectomy…” J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg, 1997.

El-Ghamry, M.D. James Graham Brown Cancer Center University of Louisville School of Medicine, Louisville, KY
Background • Usual SBRT Tx -> Plan once • Tumor regression -> ↓GTV -> ⇑PTV (relative) • Result -> ↑Integral dose
Purpose • Quantify GTV change before, during and after SBRT • Evaluate predictive factors to GTV shrinkage • Possible timing of Adaptive SBRT (A-SBRT)
Methods • Retrospective analysis • 24 patients with 25 treated lung tumors • Dose – 50 Gy/5 fxs @ 10 Gy/fx • 7 GTV’s contoured – 1. Initial diagnCT (CTPRE), 2-6. 5 Cone Beam CT’s (CBCT1-5 ) 7. 1st f/u CT post RT (CTPOST)
Methods • Primary Endpoint – Quantify GTV change on 7 serial CT scans • T-test (two sided): compare mean GTV changes • Secondary Endpoint – Univariate and Multivariate analyses to correlate GTV changes to predictive patient factors
SBRT Technique • Maximum intensity projection (MIP) based motion encompassing ITV derived using a 4D-CT • PTV = 0.5 cm expansion of ITV • 95% of the PTV received 100% of the dose • Double vacuum based immobilization system • Initially static field, then VMAT (RapidArc®) • IGRT (CBCT’s) on Varian TrilogyTM ITV – Internal target volume VMAT – Volume Modulated Arc Therapy
