Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for Lymph-Nodal Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer: A Multicenter Retrospective Experience. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2023; 59:1442. [PMID: 37629732 PMCID: PMC10456704 DOI: 10.3390/medicina59081442] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2023] [Revised: 07/25/2023] [Accepted: 08/07/2023] [Indexed: 08/27/2023]
Abstract
Background: The favorable role of SBRT for lymph-nodal oligometastases from prostate cancer has been reported by several retrospective and prospective experiences, suggesting a more indolent natural history of disease when compared to patients with bone oligometastases. This retrospective multicenter study evaluates the outcomes of a cohort of patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy for lymph-nodal oligometastases. Methods: Inclusion criteria were up to five lymph-nodal oligometastases detected either with Choline-PET or PSMA-PET in patients naïve for ADT or already ongoing with systemic therapy and at least 6 Gy per fraction for SBRT. Only patients with exclusive lymph-nodal disease were included. The primary endpoint of the study was LC; a toxicity assessment was retrospectively performed following CTCAE v4.0. Results: A total of 100 lymph-nodal oligometastases in 69 patients have been treated with SBRT between April 2015 and November 2022. The median age was 73 years (range, 60-85). Oligometastatic disease was mainly detected with Choline-PET in 47 cases, while the remaining were diagnosed using PSMA-PET, with most of the patients treated to a single lymph-nodal metastasis (48/69 cases), two in 14 cases, and three in the remaining cases. The median PSA prior to SBRT was 1.35 ng/mL (range, 0.3-23.7 ng/mL). Patients received SBRT with a median total dose of 35 Gy (range, 30-40 Gy) in a median number of 5 (range, 3-6) fractions. With a median follow-up of 16 months (range, 7-59 months), our LC rates were 95.8% and 86.3% at 1 and 2 years. DPFS rates were 90.4% and 53.4%, respectively, at 1 and 2 years, with nine patients developing a sequential oligometastatic disease treated with a second course of SBRT. Polymetastatic disease-free survival (PMFS) at 1 and 2 years was 98% and 96%. Six patients needed ADT after SBRT for a median time of ADT-free survival of 15 months (range, 6-22 months). The median OS was 16 months (range, 7-59) with 1- and 2-year rates of both 98%. In multivariate analysis, higher LC rates and the use of PSMA-PET were related to improved DPFS rates, and OS was significantly related to a lower incidence of distant progression. No G3 or higher adverse events were reported. Conclusions: In our experience, lymph-nodal SBRT for oligometastatic prostate cancer is a safe and effective option for ADT delay with no severe toxicity.

Abstract
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the standard treatment of metastatic prostate cancer (PCa). However, metastases-directed therapies can delay the initiation or switch of systemic treatments and allow local control (LC) and prolonged progression-free survival (PFS), particularly in patients with lymph nodes (LN) oligometastases. We performed a systematic review on stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in this setting. Papers reporting LC and/or PFS were selected. Data on ADT-free survival, overall survival, and toxicity were also collected from the selected studies. Fifteen studies were eligible (414 patients), 14 of them were retrospective analyses. A high heterogeneity was observed in terms of patient selection and treatment. In one study SBRT was delivered as a single 20 Gy fraction, while in the others the median total dose ranged between 24 and 40 Gy delivered in 3-6 fractions. LC and PFS were reported in 15 and 12 papers, respectively. LC was reported as a crude percentage in 13 studies, with 100% rate in seven and 63.2-98.0% in six reports. Five studies reported actuarial LC (2-year LC: 70.0-100%). PFS was reported as a crude rate in 11 studies (range 27.3-68.8%). Actuarial 2-year PFS was reported in four studies (range 30.0-50.0%). SBRT tolerability was excellent, with only two patients with grade 3 acute toxicity and two patients with grade 3 late toxicity. SBRT for LN oligorecurrences from PCa in safe and provides optimal LC. However, the long-term effect on PFS and OS is still unclear as well as which patients are the best candidate for this approach.

Abstract
Oligometastatic prostate cancer (OMPC) has been proposed as an intermediary state between localised disease and widespread metastases, with varying definitions including 1, 3, or ≤5 visceral or bone metastasis. Traditional definitions of OMPC are based on staging with conventional imaging, such as computerised tomography (CT) and whole-body bone scan (WBBS). Novel imaging modalities such as prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) have improved diagnostic utility in detecting early metastatic prostate cancer (PC) metastases compared with conventional imaging. Specifically, meta-analytical data suggest that PSMA PET is sensitive in detecting oligometastatic disease in patients with biochemical recurrence (BCR) post-radical treatment of PC. Recent trials have evaluated PSMA PET-guided metastases-directed therapy (MDT) in oligometastatic recurrent disease, typically with salvage surgery or radiotherapy (RT). To date, these preliminary studies demonstrate promising results, potentially delaying the need for systemic therapy. We aim to report a comprehensive, multidisciplinary review of PSMA-guided MDT in OMPC. In this review, we highlight the utility of PMSA PET in biochemically recurrent disease and impact of PSMA PET on the definition of oligometastatic disease and outline data pertaining to PSMA-guided MDT.

Stratification of Oligometastatic Prostate Cancer Patients by Liquid Biopsy: Clinical Insights from a Pilot Study. Biomedicines 2022; 10:biomedicines10061321. [PMID: 35740343 PMCID: PMC9219949 DOI: 10.3390/biomedicines10061321] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/11/2022] [Revised: 05/29/2022] [Accepted: 06/02/2022] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
We propose a pilot, prospective, translational study with the aim of identifying possible molecular markers underlying metastatic prostate cancer (PC) evolution with the use of liquid biopsy. Twenty-eight castrate sensitive, oligometastatic PC patients undergoing bone and/or nodal stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) were recruited. Peripheral blood samples were collected before the commencement of SBRT, then they were processed for circulating cell free DNA (cfDNA) extraction. Deep targeted sequencing was performed using a custom gene panel. The primary endpoint was to identify differences in the molecular contribution between the oligometastatic and polymetastatic evolution of PC to same-first oligo-recurrent disease presentation. Seventy-seven mutations were detected in 25/28 cfDNA samples: ATM in 14 (50%) cases, BRCA2 11 (39%), BRCA1 6 (21%), AR 13 (46%), ETV4, and ETV6 2 (7%). SBRT failure was associated with an increased risk of harboring the BRCA1 mutation (OR 10.5) (p = 0.043). The median cfDNA concentration was 24.02 ng/mL for ATM mutation carriers vs. 40.04 ng/mL for non-carriers (p = 0.039). Real-time molecular characterization of oligometastatic PC may allow for the identification of a true oligometastatic phenotype, with a stable disease over a long time being more likely to benefit from local, curative treatments or the achievement of long-term disease control. A prospective validation of our promising findings is desirable for a better understanding of the real impact of liquid biopsy in detecting tumor aggressiveness and clonal evolution.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The optimal radiotherapy regimen is not yet defined in the setting of oligorecurrent prostate cancer (oligorPC). There is evidence of high variability in treatment protocols among different centers worldwide, and no international consensus guidelines on treatment volumes, radiation schedules, and techniques. The purpose of the present retrospective study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of involved-pelvic-node stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for oligorPC. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with pelvic node oligorPC following primary surgery, radical radiotherapy, or salvage radiotherapy for biochemical or local relapse of prostate cancer who underwent involved-node SBRT with biological effective dose (BED) > 100 Gy, with or without concurrent and adjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), were retrospectively evaluated. Biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS), distant progression-free survival (DPFS), overall survival (OS), possible prognostic factors, and toxicity outcomes were investigated. RESULTS From November 2012 to December 2019, 74 patients fitted the selection criteria. A total of 117 lesions were treated. Median follow-up was 31 months (range 6-89). Concurrent ADT was administered in 58.1% of patients. The 1‑year, 2‑year, and 3‑year DPFS was 77%, 37%, and 19%, respectively; the 1‑year, 2‑year, and 3‑year OS was 98%, 98%, and 95%, respectively. The presence of a single target lesion was associated with a statistically significant impact on OS. No in-field recurrence occurred. Patients who reached early prostate-specific antigen (PSA) nadir (< 3 months after SBRT) had a lower 3‑year survival (p = 0.004). The value of PSA nadir after SBRT and the time between primary treatment and SBRT had an impact on bPFS. Concomitant ADT was associated with improved DPFS. No acute or early late (> 6 months) genitourinary and gastrointestinal adverse events of any grade were reported, albeit with relatively short median follow-up. CONCLUSION SBRT is a safe and effective treatment for oligorPC, with a 100% local control rate in our series. It is not possible to clearly assess the opportunity to postpone ADT prescription in patients with two or more nodal metastases. The number of secondary lesions, time-to-nadir PSA, PSA nadir value, and the time interval between primary treatment and SBRT were identified as prognostic factors. Future prospective randomized studies are desirable to better understand the still open questions regarding the oligorecurrent prostate cancer state.

Stereotactic body radiotherapy to lymph nodes in oligoprogressive castration-resistant prostate cancer patients: a post hoc analysis from two phase I clinical trials. Clin Exp Metastasis 2021; 38:519-526. [PMID: 34651242 DOI: 10.1007/s10585-021-10126-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 14] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 09/29/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
The prognosis of prostate cancer (PC) is generally favorable but the incidence of metastases is relatively high after the treatment of the primary tumor, especially in high-risk patients. Fractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) or single fraction stereotactic body radiosurgery (SRS) are emerging treatment options in this setting. However, data on SBRT/SRS in patients with metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC) are largely lacking, particularly in subjects with nodal lesions. Therefore, we evaluated outcomes and toxicity recorded in mCRPC patients with nodal oligoprogression. Patients included in this analysis had ≤ 5 metastatic sites without visceral lesions and underwent SBRT/SRS on nodal metastases. Thirty-eight patients carrying out 61 nodal metastases were analyzed. The median SRS dose was 20 Gy (range 12-24 Gy) and the most common schedule was 20 Gy (44.8%). The median SBRT dose was 45 Gy (range 20-50 Gy) and the most common regimen was 45 Gy in 5 fractions (37.9%). Thirty-seven patients (97.4%) showed only grade 0-1 acute toxicity while one patient reported grade 2 dysphagia. In terms of late toxicity, one grade 2 laryngeal, one grade 1 skin and one grade 1 gastrointestinal toxicities were recorded. Two-year actuarial local control (LC), distant progression-free survival, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival were 94.0, 47.2, 47.2, and 90.2%, respectively. Two-year next line systemic therapy-free survival (NEST-FS) was 67.7%. In conclusion, the efficacy in terms of LC of SBRT/SRS in patients with nodal metastases from PC was confirmed. Moreover, this analysis suggests the efficacy in terms of PFS and NEST-FS also in the setting of oligoprogressive PC. In fact, about one-third of patients were free from progressive disease and two-third of subjects did not require hormonal therapy switch or discontinuation three years after treatment.

Abstract
The aim of this analysis was to assess the efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in terms of local control (LC) and progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with lymph node metastases (NMs) from solid tumors. A systematic literature search from the earliest date to July 25th, 2019 was performed following PRISMA guidelines. Papers reporting LC and/or PFS of NMs using SBRT (< 10 fractions) were selected. The clinical outcomes rates were pooled by means of a random or fixed-effect model. Twenty-nine studies were eligible (969 patients: 938 (LC) and 698 (PFS)). LC and PFS results were reported in 28 and 18 papers, respectively. Heterogeneity was observed in terms of patient and treatment characteristics. Pooled 2-year LC reported in 11 studies was 79.3% (95%CI, 72.8%-85.7%) with substantial heterogeneity between studies (Q2 test: p = 0.0083; I2 = 57.9%), while pooled 2-year PFS reported in 8 studies was 35.9% (95%CI, 22.1%-49.7%) with very high heterogeneity between studies (Q2 test: p < 0.0001; I2 = 86.1%). Grade ≥ 3 and Grade 5 toxicity rates were 2.0% and 0.2%, respectively. SBRT of NMs seems to be safe and effective in terms of LC. However, due to the marked heterogeneity of the included series, prospective studies are required.

Abstract
The purpose of this analysis was primarily to analyze biochemical-recurrence free survival (BRFS) after positron emission tomography (PET)-guided salvage radiotherapy (sRT) in a large cohort, and to further compare BRFS after PSMA vs. choline PET/ computer tomography (CT)-based sRT. This retrospective analysis is based on 421 patients referred for PSMA or choline PET/CT after radical prostatectomy due to biochemically recurrent or persistent disease. BRFS (PSA: 0.2 ng/mL) was defined as the study endpoint. Cox regression analyses were performed to assess the impact of different clinical parameters on BRFS. Additionally, propensity score matching was performed to adjust patient cohorts (PSMA vs. choline PET/CT-based sRT). The median follow-up time was 30 months. BRFS at three years after sRT was 58%. In the multivariate analysis, only PSA before PET imaging and PSA before sRT were significantly associated with BRFS (p < 0.05). After propensity score matching, 272 patients were further analyzed; there was no significant difference in three-year BRFS between patients with PSMA PET-based vs. choline PET-based sRT (55% vs. 63%, p = 0.197). The present analysis confirmed the overall high BRFS rates after PET-based sRT and the strong prognostic effect of PSA level prior to sRT. PSMA PET-based sRT did not have superior BRFS rates when compared with choline PET-based sRT.

Abstract
The role of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in achieving durable local control and palliation of pain in pelvic lymph node oligometastatic disease is not well-studied. We performed a retrospective analysis of 30 patients with 43 pelvic lymph node oligometastases from various primary cancers all but one with non-prostate primaries treated at our institution with SBRT. The median follow-up time was 21 months. The median SBRT dose was 24 Gy in four fractions. The one-, two-, and five-year local control was 74%, 71%, and 70% and one-, two-, and five-year overall survival was 70%, 47%, and 31%. Toxicities were mild with no grade 3 or higher.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy is an emerging treatment strategy for nodal oligorecurrent prostate cancer (PCa) patients. However, large heterogeneities exist in the RT regimens used, with series reporting the use of elective nodal radiotherapy (ENRT) strategies and others the delivery of focal treatments to the relapsing nodes with Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT). In this systematic review of the literature we compared the oncological outcomes and toxicity of the different RT regimens for nodal oligorecurrent PCa patients, with the aim of defining the optimal RT target volume in this setting. METHODS We performed a systemic search on the Pubmed database to identify articles reporting on the use of ENRT or SBRT for oligometastatic PCa with nodal recurrence. RESULTS Twenty-two articles were analyzed, including four prospective phase II trials (3 with SBRT and 1 with ENRT). Focal SBRT, delivered with an involved node, involved site, and involved field modality, was the most commonly used strategy with 2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rates ranging from 16 to 58% and a very low toxicity profile. Improved PFS rates were observed with ENRT strategies (52-80% at 3 years) compared to focal SBRT, despite a slightly higher toxicity rate. One ongoing randomized phase II trial is comparing both modalities in patients with nodal oligorecurrent PCa. CONCLUSIONS With a large variability in patterns of practice, the optimal RT strategy remains to be determined in the setting of nodal oligorecurrent PCa. Ongoing randomized trials and advances in translational research will help to shed light on the best management for these patients. .

Abstract
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has been shown to achieve high local control rates in limited metastatic burden of disease. Few papers reported on the efficacy of SBRT in nodal oligometastases. The primary aim of the present paper was to analyze the treatment outcome in this setting. Data from DESTROY-1 and SRS-DESTROY-2 phase I clinical trials were reviewed and analyzed. These trials were based on a 5 fractions and a single fraction regimens, respectively. End-points of this analysis were toxicity rates, overall response rate (ORR), and local control (LC). Patients treated between December 2003 and January 2018, with any metastatic site, and primary tumor type and histology were included. One hundred-eighty-one patients (M/F: 93/88; median age: 67, range 37-88) treated with SBRT on 253 nodal lesions were analyzed. Initially, the used technique was 3D-CRT (20.9%), while subsequently treatments were delivered by VMAT (79.1%). The total dose to the PTV ranged between 12 Gy/single fraction to 50 Gy/5 fractions. With a median follow-up of 21 months (2-124), no grade 3 acute or late toxicity was recorded. ORR based on functional imaging was 92.5% with a complete response rate of 76%. Two- and three-year actuarial LC were 81.6% and 76.0%, respectively. Our large pooled analysis confirms the efficacy and safety of SBRT/SRS in patients with nodal metastases and identifies clinical and treatment variables able to predict complete response and local control rate.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment efficacy of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in oligometastatic prostate cancer recurrence and to assess whether there is any relationship between biologically effective dose (BED) and local control (LC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Eligible studies were identified on Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library, and the proceedings of annual meetings through May 2019 were also identified. A meta-regression analysis was performed to assess whether there is a relationship between BED and LC. In the univariate analysis, studies were separated by the study design, the number of metastatic sites, the site of metastases, radiotherapy machine, and prostate-specific antigen level at the time of SBRT. A P-value <0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS Twenty-three observational studies with a total of 1441 lesions treated were included in the meta-analysis. The proportional rate of LC, progression-free survival, and androgen deprivation-free survival was 0.976 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.96-0.98), 0.413 (95% CI: 0.378-0.477), and 20.1 months (95% CI: 14.5-25.6), respectively. In the meta-regression, a linear relationship between BED and LC was detected (P=0.017). Stratifying the BED into 3 levels (BED<100 Gy3, BED 100 to 130 Gy3, and BED>130 Gy3), a significant difference was observed between BED<100 Gy3 (LC=88%) versus BED>100 Gy3 (LC=96%). The rate of any acute and late grade ≥2 toxicity was 1.3% and 1.2%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The LC rate with SBRT was excellent with minimal severe acute/late toxicity. Our data suggest a dose relationship between BED and LC, with BED >100 Gy3 resulting in better rates of LC.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The oligometastatic (OM) disease hypothesis of an intermediate metastatic state with limited distant disease deposits amenable for curative therapies remains debatable. Over a third of prostate cancer (PCa) patients treated with radical prostatectomy and postoperative radiotherapy experience disease recurrence; these patients are considered incurable by current standards. Often the recurrence cannot be localised by conventional imaging (CT and bone scan). Combined anatomical imaging with CT and/or MR with positron emission tomography (PET) using a novel second-generation prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) probe, [18F]DCFPyL, is a promising imaging modality to unveil disease deposits in these patients. A new and earlier molecularly defined oligorecurrent (OR) state may be amenable to focal-targeted ablative curative-intent therapies, such as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) or surgery, thereby significantly delaying or completely avoiding the need for palliative therapies in men with recurrent PCa after maximal local treatments. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This ongoing single-institution phase II study will enrol up to 75 patients total, to include up to 37 patients with response-evaluable disease, who have rising prostate-specific antigen (range 0.4-3.0 ng/mL) following maximal local therapies with no evidence of disease on conventional imaging. These patients will undergo [18F]DCFPyL PET-MR/CT imaging to detect disease deposits, which will then be treated with SABR or surgery. The primary endpoints are performance of [18F]DCFPyL PET-MR/CT, and treatment response rates following SABR or surgery. Demographics and disease characteristics will be summarised and analysed descriptively. Response rates will be described with waterfall plots and proportions. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Ethics approval was obtained from the institutional Research Ethics Board. All patients will provide written informed consent. [18F]DCFPyL has approval from Health Canada. The results of the study will be disseminated by the principal investigator. Patients will not be identifiable as individuals in any publication or presentation of this study. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBERS NCT03160794.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Metastatic spreading to the lungs is a negative prognostic factor in patients with prostate cancer (PC). Aim of our study was to assess the prevalence of lung PC metastases in patients with fluorine-18 fluoroethyl-choline (F-18-FECh) PET-CT positive lung lesions and the role of Gleason Score (GS) and common biochemical markers in predicting metastatic spreading to the lungs. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated the scans of 1283 patients ongoing (F-18-FECh) PET-CT for PC between May 2010 and July 2014. Patients with lung lesion with F-18-FECh uptake were included. Data concerning GS at diagnosis, "trigger" prostate-specific antigen (PSAtr), PSA doubling time (PSAdt), PSA velocity (PSAvel) and ongoing androgen deprivation therapy were collected. PET-CT findings were confirmed by histology or follow-up (FU) and classified as follows: inflammation, primary lung cancer or metastases from tumor other than PC, and lung metastases from PC. RESULTS Twenty-two patients with F-18-FECh positive lung lesion and available histology or FU were identified. PSAdt was significantly (P=0.029) shorter in patients with lung metastases from PC (median PSAdt 1.7 months, interquartile range [IQR] 1.5-4.1 months) than in patients without lung PC relapse (median PSAdt 6.7 months, IQR 3.9-7.8); PSAvel was significantly (P=0.019) higher in patients with lung metastases from PC (median PSAvel 3.2 ng/mL/month, IQR 0.65-6.65 ng/mL/month) than in patients without lung PC relapse (median PSAvel 0.3 ng/mL/month, IQR 0.2-0.5 ng/mL/month). Patients with lung metastases from PC had significantly (P=0.006) higher GS at diagnosis (median GS 8) than the other ones (median GS 7). CONCLUSIONS Our analysis shows that the prevalence of F-18-FECh positive lung metastases in patients with PC, especially with higher GS at diagnosis, is higher in presence of a steady increase in PSA values, confirmed by higher PSAvel and shorter PSAdt.

Abstract
Purpose Stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR) for oligometastatic prostate cancer (OMPC) may improve clinical outcomes, but current challenges in intrafraction tracking of multiple small targets limits treatment accuracy. A biology-guided radiation therapy (BgRT) delivery system incorporating positron emission tomography (PET) detectors is being developed to use radiotracer uptake as a biologic fiducial for intrafraction tumor tracking to improve geometric accuracy. This study simulates prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-directed BgRT using a cohort from our phase II randomized trial of SABR in men with recurrent hormone sensitive OMPC and compares dose distributions to clinical SABR (CSABR). Methods and Materials A research treatment planning system (RTPS) was used to replan 15 patients imaged with PSMA-targeted 18F-DCFPyL PET/computed tomography and previously treated with CSABR using conventional linear accelerators (linacs). The RTPS models a prototype ring-mounted linac incorporating PET and kilo-voltage computed tomography imaging subsystems and can be used to optimize BgRT plans, as well as research SABR (RSABR) plans, which use the prototype linac without radiotracer guidance. CSABR, RSABR, and BgRT plans were compared in terms of maximum planning target volume (PTV) dose (Dmax), mean dose to proximal organs at risk (DOAR), conformity index, as well as voxel-wise correlation of dose with PET specific uptake values to investigate possible dose-painting effects. Results RSABR and BgRT plans resulted in mean ± standard deviation increases in Dmax of 4 ± 11% (P = .21) and 18 ± 15% (P < .001) and reductions in DOAR of –20 ± 19% (P <.001) and –10 ± 19% (P = .02) compared with CSABR. Similar target coverage was maintained with conformity indices of 0.81 ± 0.04 (P < .001) and 0.72 ± 0.08 (P = .44) for RSABR and BgRT compared with 0.74 ± 0.08 for CSABR. Dose and log (specific uptake values) had Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.10 (CSABR), 0.16 (RSABR), and 0.31 (BgRT). Conclusions BgRT plans provided similar PTV coverage and conformity compared with CSABR while incorporating underlying PET activity. These results demonstrate feasibility of BgRT optimization enabling online PSMA-targeted, PET-based tracked dose delivery for OMPC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review biology and management of oligometastatic prostate cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Relevant publications were identified through Medline (www. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov), Embase (www.embase.com) and the US National Library of Medicine (www.clinicaltrials.org) databases using the following keywords, alone or in association, «prostate cancer; metastasis; oligo-metastasis». Articles were selected according to methods, language of publication and relevance. After careful selection 99 publications were eligible for our review. RESULTS Oligometastatic prostate cancer is a new entity including prostate cancer with a limited number of metastasis. This particular state becomes more frequent with the imaging progresses especially with the common use of new PET imaging with Choline or PSMA. There is no consensus about a strict definition of oligometastatic prostate cancer, number and sites of metastasis vary widely in the literature. Moreover, oligometastatic state can be observed de novo at the time of prostate cancer diagnosis as well as in case of recurrence after a primary treatment. There is actually an important lack of evidence-based medicine and no guidelines regarding treatment can be found. In de novo oligo-metatastatic prostate cancer, treatment of the primary tumor in association with androgen deprivation therapy seems to increase survival in selected patients but this needs to be confirmed by ongoing prospective clinical trials. In recurrent prostate cancer, metastasis directed therapy with or without androgen deprivation therapy is now routinely performed but its impact needs also to be analyzed. CONCLUSION In absence of consensus or guidelines, management of prostate cancer should be an individualized, patient-based management taking into account primary tumor stage and grade, number and types of metastasis and patient characteristics.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW The oligometastases is considered an intermediate state of the disease between localized and wide spread metastases. Local ablative therapy to oligometastatic prostate cancer is gaining significant traction and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is an emerging treatment modality for this patient population. In this review, we report our literature review of SBRT to prostate oligometastases. Current evidence on the role of SBRT in oligometastatic prostate cancer reported in the last 10 years was summarized. Criteria for inclusion included studies with prostate cancer only as the primary site. RECENT FINDINGS The unique properties of the oligometastatic prostate cancer appear to carry a better prognosis than wide spread metastatic disease, especially if these metastases are amenable to local ablative therapies. Our literature review revealed that local ablative therapy, using SBRT to prostate oligometastases, is associated with significant 2-years local control and acceptable toxicity profile. SUMMARY SBRT to oligometastatic prostate cancer patients is feasible and carries an acceptable toxicity profile. The randomized phase II and III trials, currently underway, should clearly define the real benefit of this approach on progression-free and overall survival outcomes.

Abstract
Background The efficacy of carbon-ion radiotherapy (C-ion RT) for lymph node (LN) oligo-recurrence has only been evaluated in limited single-center studies. We aimed to investigate the benefit of C-ion RT for LN oligo-recurrence in a large multi-center study. Methods Patients who received C-ion RT between December 1996 and December 2015 at 4 participating facilities and who met the following eligibility criteria were included: (i) histological or clinical diagnosis of LN recurrence; (ii) controlled primary lesion; (iii) no recurrence other than LN; (iv) LN recurrence involved in a single lymphatic site; and (v) age ≥ 20 years. Results A total of 323 patients were enrolled. Median follow-up period was 34 months for surviving patients. The most common dose fractionation of C-ion RT was 48.0 Gy (relative biological effectiveness) in 12 fractions. Forty-seven patients had a history of RT at the recurrent site. The 2-year local control (LC) and overall survival (OS) rates after C-ion RT were 85% and 63%, respectively. Only 1 patient developed grade-3 toxicity. Factors such as LN diameter, histology, and history of previous RT did not correlate with LC. Smaller diameters (< 30 mm) and numbers (≤ 3) of LN metastases as well as longer disease-free intervals post-primary therapy (≥ 16 months) were associated with significantly better OS. Conclusions C-ion RT for LN oligo-recurrence appeared to be effective and safe. C-ion RT may provide a survival benefit to patients with LN oligo-recurrence, particularly to those with few LN metastases, smaller LN diameters, and longer disease-free intervals.

Abstract
Technological advances in radiotherapy have led to the introduction of techniques such as stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), allowing the administration of ablative doses. The hypothesis that oligometastatic disease may be cured through local eradication therapies has led to the increasing use of SBRT in patients with this type of disease. At the same time, scientific advances are being made to allow the confirmation of clinically suspected oligometastatic status at molecular level. There is growing interest in identifying patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer (PCa) who may benefit from curative intent metastasis-directed therapy, including SBRT. The aim is to complement, replace or delay the introduction of hormone therapy or other systemic therapies. The present review aims to compile the evidence from the main ongoing studies and results on SBRT in relation to oligometastatic PCa; examine aspects where gaps in knowledge or a lack of consensus persist (e.g., optimum schemes, response assessment, identification and diagnosis of oligometastatic patients); and document the lack of first-level evidence supporting the use of such techniques.

Abstract
Metastasis from most adult solid tumors generally has been considered to be widespread and incurable. Here, I present clinical and molecular data to support the hypothesis that some metastases are limited in number and pace and are curable with ablative therapies. I advance the hypothesis that immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy may be a general strategy to increase the number of patients with metastatic cancer amenable to cure. I further suggest that, in the context of ablative radiotherapy, the potential synergies between immunotherapy and radiotherapy are principally within the local tumor microenvironment and require treatment of all or most sites of metastatic disease. Improvements in the molecular staging of metastasis, immunotherapy strategies, and radiotherapy delivery are likely to improve outcomes for patients with metastatic cancer.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) emerged as a treatment option in oligometastatic (≤3 metastases) patients experiencing lymph node relapse from treated prostate cancer. No recommendations are available concerning dose schedule, and available studies report the use of multiple-fraction regimens due to theoretical lower toxicity and higher cumulative dose delivered to the target. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a dose-intensive, single-fraction SBRT regimen. PATIENTS AND METHODS Retrospective data on outcome and toxicity from 27 treatments on 23 consecutive patients were collected. Statistical analysis was performed. RESULTS Median follow-up was 22 months (range 6-63, interquartile range 15-28). Biochemical progression-free survival (bPFS) at 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years were 65%, 40%, and 26%, respectively. In 2 cases acute toxicity of grade 1 were observed. CONCLUSION Single-fraction SBRT for lymph node relapse of oligometastatic prostate cancer resulted in promising biochemical control with minimal toxicity.

Eur Urol Oncol 2018; 2:174-188. [PMID: 31017094 DOI: 10.1016/j.euo.2018.09.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 58] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2018] [Revised: 09/04/2018] [Accepted: 09/12/2018] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
CONTEXT The current standard of care for metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) is androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) plus either docetaxel or abiraterone. Growing evidence suggests that metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) and/or local therapy targeted to the primary tumour (ie, prostate) may be of benefit in the setting of oligometastatic disease. Several prospective studies are underway; however, until robust evidence is available to guide treatment decisions, physicians are challenged with how best to manage patients with oligometastases. OBJECTIVE This comprehensive review aims to collate the available evidence to date for a role of MDT and/or prostate-targeted therapy in the setting of oligometastatic PCa, as well as discuss ongoing trials in this setting. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION We searched PubMed for the combination of "prostate cancer" and "oligometastatic", "oligometastases", "oligometastasis", "solitary metastases", "stereotactic body radiotherapy", "SBRT", "stereotactic ablative radiotherapy", "SABR", "salvage lymphadenectomy", or "metastasectomy" in publications over the last 20yr. We also searched ClinicalTrials.gov to identify relevant ongoing trials. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS The studies were divided according to the timing of metastasis into synchronous (ie, detected at the time of primary PCa diagnosis) and metachronous (ie, detected after treatment of the primary tumour), and according to treatment modality into MDT (including salvage lymph node dissection [sLND]) and prostate-targeted treatment. For MDT of synchronous/metachronous metastases, we included 16 completed studies and 11 ongoing prospective studies. In the case of sLND for nodal-only recurrence after primary treatment with curative intent, we included 11 completed studies. Finally, for prostate-targeted treatment of synchronous metastatic PCa, we included 25 completed studies and 11 ongoing prospective studies. In selected patients with oligorecurrent disease, early detection and aggressive treatment of metastatic lesions (surgery or radiotherapy) appears to be a feasible strategy and may delay the use of systemic therapies. MDT is a promising option in oligometastatic PCa patients, but more robust data are needed. In the setting of synchronous oligometastatic disease, aggressive cytoreductive treatment needs further data to confirm the benefits. CONCLUSIONS In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of the current literature on the treatment of patients with oligometastatic PCa. The data suggest that although ADT plus either docetaxel or abiraterone remains the mainstay of treatment for mPCa, in oligometastatic PCa, improved outcomes may be achieved with metastasis- and prostate-targeted therapies. The studies included in this review are mainly retrospective in nature, limiting the strength of the evidence they provide. Prospective studies are ongoing, and their results are eagerly awaited. PATIENT SUMMARY We reviewed the treatment of patients with prostate cancer that has spread to five sites or fewer. We conclude that while androgen deprivation plus either docetaxel or abiraterone should remain the standard of care, there is evidence that treatment targeted at the metastases and the primary tumour may improve the outcome for the patient and potentially delay the use of systemic treatment.

Abstract
Background Prostate cancer (PCA) is the most-prevalent non-skin cancer in men worldwide. Nevertheless, the treatment of oligometastatic, especially lymph-node (ln) recurrent, PCA remains elusive. The aim of our study was to provide insights in radiotherapy (RT)-treatment of recurrent PCA exhibiting ln- or osseous (oss)-oligometastases. Methods Between April 2012 and April 2017, 27 oligometastatic PCA patients (19 ln and 8 single oss) were treated with RT at our institution. Results The metastasis-free survival (MFS) was 24.8 m (22.0–36.0 m) and 25.4 m (23.9–28.1 m) for the ln- and oss-subgroup resulting in 1-year MFS of 75.4 and 100% and 2-year MFS of 58.7 and 83.3% for ln- and oss-metastatic patients, respectively. Of notice, none of the recurrences for ln-patients was in the RT-field, constituting a local control of 100%. Within the ln-group, pre-RT median-PSA was 2.6 ng/ml, median post-RT PSA was 0.3 ng/ml, which was significant (p = 0.003). Median biochemical-free survival (bfS) was 12.2 m. PCA that was initially confined to the prostate had a better bfS (p < 0.001) and MFS (p = 0.013). The oss-group had a median PSA of 4.9 ng/ml pre-treatment which dropped to a median value of 0.14 ng/ml (p = 0.004). Toxicities were moderate, with only 1 case of III° toxicity. There were no deaths in the ln-group, thus overall survial was 100% here. Conclusion Our study points out the feasibility of RT as a treatment option in recurrent PCA and demonstrates an excellent local control with a low-toxicity profile.

Abstract
The management of patients with biochemical, local, nodal, or oligometastatic relapsed prostate cancer has become more challenging and controversial. Novel imaging modalities designed to detect recurrence are increasingly used, particularly PSMA-PET scans in Australia, New Zealand and some European countries. Imaging techniques such as MRI and PET scans using other prostate cancer-specific tracers are also being utilised across the world. The optimal timing for commencing salvage treatment, and the role of local and/or systemic therapies remains controversial. Through surveys of the membership, the Australian and New Zealand Faculty of Radiation Oncology Genito-Urinary Group (FROGG) identified wide variation in the management of recurrent prostate cancer. Following a workshop conducted in April 2017, the FROGG management committee reviewed the literature and developed a set of recommendations based on available evidence and expert opinion, for the appropriate investigation and management of recurrent prostate cancer. These recommendations cover the role and timing of post-prostatectomy radiotherapy, the management of regional nodal metastases and oligometastases, as well as the management of local prostate recurrence after definitive radiotherapy.

Abstract
Aims and background The diagnostic and therapeutic approach to prostate cancer has evolved rapidly in last decades. Young professionals need an update about these recent developments in order to improve the care of patients treated in their daily clinical practice. Methods On May 18, 2013, AIRO Giovani (the young section of the Italian Association of Radiation Oncology) organized a multidisciplinary meeting involving, as speakers, several young physicians from many parts of Italy actively involved in the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to prostate cancer. The meeting was specifically addressed to young physicians (radio-oncologists, urologists, medical oncologists) and presented the state-of-the-art of the diagnostic/therapeutic approach based on the latest evidence on the issue. Highlights of the congress are summarized and presented in this report. Results The large participation in the meeting (more than 120 participants were present) confirmed the interest of young radiation oncologists in improving their skills in prostate cancer management. The contributions of the speakers confirmed the need for regular updates, considering the promising results of recently published studies and the many new ongoing trials, on the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to prostate cancer. Conclusions Multidisciplinary meetings are helpful to improve the skills of young professionals.

MATERIALS AND METHODS patients with 1 - 4 lymph node metastases detected by 11C-choline-PET were treated with SBRT. Toxicity, treated metastases control and Progression Free Survival were computed. RESULTS twenty-six patients, 38 lymph node metastases were irradiated. No grade ≥ 2 toxicity. Median PSA-nadir after RT was 1.02 ng/mL. Post-treatment 11C-Choline-PET showed metabolic complete response in 17 metastases (44,7%), partial response in 9 metastases (38%). CONCLUSION SBRT is effective and safe for lymph node metastases. PET is important in identification of gross tumor and evaluation of the response.

Does Choline PET/CT Change the Management of Prostate Cancer Patients With Biochemical Failure? Am J Clin Oncol 2017; 40:256-259.

Abstract
PURPOSE The FDA approved C-11 choline PET/computed tomography (CT) for imaging patients with recurrent prostate cancer in 2012. Subsequently, the 2014 NCCN guidelines have introduced labeled choline PET/CT in the imaging algorithm of patients with suspected recurrent disease. However, there is only scarce data on the impact of labeled choline PET/CT findings on disease management. We hypothesized that labeled-choline PET/CT studies showing local or regional recurrence or distant metastases will have a direct role in selection of appropriate patient management and improve radiation planning in patients with disease that can be controlled using this mode of therapy. METHODS This retrospective study was approved by the Tel Aviv Sourasky and Sheba Medical Center's Helsinki ethical review committees. Patient characteristics including age, PSA, stage, prior treatments, and pre-PET choline treatment recommendations based on NCCN guidelines were recorded. Patients with biochemical failure and without evidence of recurrence on physical examination or standard imaging were offered the option of additional imaging with labeled choline PET/CT. Treatment recommendations post-PET/CT were compared with pre-PET/CT ones. Pathologic confirmation was obtained before prostate retreatment. A nonparametric χ test was used to compare the initial and final treatment recommendations following choline PET/CT. RESULTS Between June 2010 and January 2014, 34 labeled-choline PET/CT studies were performed on 33 patients with biochemical failure following radical prostatectomy (RP) (n=6), radiation therapy (RT) (n=6), brachytherapy (n=2), RP+salvage prostate fossa RT (n=14), and RP+salvage prostate fossa/lymph node RT (n=6). Median PSA level before imaging was 2 ng/mL (range, 0.16 to 79). Labeled choline PET/CT showed prostate, prostate fossa, or pelvic lymph node increased uptake in 17 studies, remote metastatic disease in 9 studies, and failed to identify the cause for biochemical failure in 7 scans.PET/CT altered treatment approach in 18 of 33 (55%) patients (P=0.05). Sixteen of 27 patients (59%) treated previously with radiation were retreated with RT and delayed or eliminated androgen deprivation therapy: 1 received salvage brachytherapy, 10 received salvage pelvic lymph node or prostate fossa irradiation, 2 brachytherapy failures received salvage prostate and lymph nodes IMRT, and 3 with solitary bone metastasis were treated with radiosurgery. Eleven of 16 patients retreated responded to salvage therapy with a significant PSA response (<0.2 ng/mL), 2 patients had partial biochemical responses, and 3 patients failed. The median duration of response was 500±447 days. Two of 6 patients with no prior RT were referred for salvage prostatic fossa RT: 1 received dose escalation for disease identified in the prostate fossa and another had inclusion of "hot" pelvic lymph nodes in the treatment volume. CONCLUSIONS These early results suggest that labeled choline PET/CT imaging performed according to current NCCN guidelines may change management and improve care in prostate cancer patients with biochemical failure by identifying patients for referral for salvage radiation therapy, improving radiation planning, and delaying or avoiding use of androgen deprivation therapy.

Abstract
Background: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the impact of metastases-directed stereotactic body radiotherapy in two groups of oligometastatic prostate cancer (PC) patients: oligorecurrent PC and oligoprogressive castration-resistant PC (oligo-CRPC). Methods: Inclusion criteria of the present multicentre retrospective analysis were: (1) oligorecurrent PC, defined as the presence of 1–3 lesions (bone or nodes) detected with choline positron emission tomography or CT plus bone scan following biochemical recurrence; (2) oligo-CRPC, defined as metastases (bone or nodes) detected after a prostatic-specific antigen rise during androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Primary end points were: distant progression-free survival (DPFS) and ADT-free survival in oligorecurrent PC patients; DPFS and second-line systemic treatment-free survival in oligo-CRPC patients. Results: About 100 patients with oligorecurrent PC (139 lesions) and 41 with oligo-CRPC (70 lesions), treated between March 2010 and April 2016, were analysed. After a median follow-up of 20.4 months, in the oligorecurrent group 1- and 2-year DPFS were 64.4 and 43%. The rate of LC was 92.8% at 2 years. At a median follow-up of 23.4 months, in the oligo-CRPC group 1- and 2-year DPFS were 43.2 and 21.6%. Limitations include the retrospective design. Conclusions: Stereotactic body radiotherapy seems to be a useful treatment both for oligorecurrent and oligo-CRPC.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW It is now accepted that prostate cancer has a low alpha/beta ratio, establishing a strong basis for hypofractionation of prostate radiotherapy. This review focuses on the rationale for hypofractionation and presents the evidence base for establishing moderate hypofractionation for localised disease as the new standard of care. The emerging evidence for extreme hypofractionation in managing localized and oligometastatic prostate cancer is reviewed. RECENT FINDINGS The 5-year efficacy and toxicity outcomes from four phase III studies have been published within the last 12 months. These studies randomizing over 6000 patients to conventional fractionation (1.8-2.0 Gy per fraction) or moderate hypofractionation (3.0-3.4 Gy per fraction). They demonstrate hypofractionation to be non-inferior to conventional fractionation. Moderate hypofractionation for localized prostate cancer is safe and effective. There is a growing body of evidence in support of extreme hypofractionation for localized prostate cancer. Extreme hypofractionation may have a role in managing prostate oligometastases, but further studies are needed.

Abstract
This article is a short review of PET tracers, which have been used in clinical routine in single institutions. Preliminary anecdotal research supports the use of PET techniques in therapy planning of prostate cancer. The existing literature is discussed. For external beam radiation therapy, the biological target volume definition can only be based on PET imaging. There are not yet any prospective and randomized trials available; therefore, single-institution experiences cannot yet be recommended as clinical routine.

Abstract
The spectrum hypothesis posits that there are distinct clinical states of metastatic progression. Early data suggest that aggressive treatment of more biologically indolent metastatic disease, characterized by metastases limited in number and destination organ, may offer an opportunity to alter the disease course, potentially allowing for longer survival, delay of systemic therapy, or even cure. The development of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has opened new avenues for the treatment of oligometastatic disease. Early data support the use of SBRT for treating oligometastases in a number of organs, with promising rates of treated metastasis control and overall survival. Ongoing investigation is required to definitively establish benefit, determine the appropriate treatment regimen, refine patient selection, and incorporate SBRT with systemic therapies.

Impact of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT on salvage radiotherapy planning in patients with prostate cancer and persisting PSA values or biochemical relapse after prostatectomy. EJNMMI Res 2016; 6:78.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Salvage radiotherapy (SRT) is clinically established in prostate cancer (PC) patients with PSA persistence or biochemical relapse (BCR) after prior radical surgery. PET/CT imaging prior to SRT may be performed to localize disease recurrence. The recently introduced 68Ga-PSMA outperforms other PET tracers for detection of recurrence and is therefore expected also to impact radiation planning. Forty-five patients with PSA persistence (16 pts) or BCR (29 pts) after prior prostatectomy, scheduled to undergo SRT of the prostate bed, underwent 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT. The median PSA level was 0.67 ng/ml. The impact of 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT on the treatment decision was assessed. Patients with oligometastatic (≤5 lesions) PC underwent radiotherapy (RT), with the extent of the RT area and dose escalation being based on PET positivity. RESULTS Suspicious lesions were detected in 24/45 (53.3 %) patients. In 62.5 % of patients, lesions were only detected by 68Ga-PSMA PET. Treatment was changed in 19/45 (42.2 %) patients, e.g., extending SRT to metastases (9/19), administering dose escalation in patients with morphological local recurrence (6/19), or replacing SRT by systemic therapy (2/19). 38/45 (84.4 %) followed the treatment recommendation, with data on clinical follow-up being available in 21 patients treated with SRT. All but one showed biochemical response (mean PSA decline 78 ± 19 %) within a mean follow-up of 8.12 ± 5.23 months. CONCLUSIONS 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT impacts treatment planning in more than 40 % of patients scheduled to undergo SRT. Future prospective studies are needed to confirm this significant therapeutic impact on patients prior to SRT.

Abstract
Oligometastases from solid tumors are currently recognized as a distinct clinical entity, corresponding to an intermediate state between local and widespread disease. It has been suggested that local ablative therapies (including surgery, radiofrequency ablation and radiation therapy) play an important role in this setting, in combination or not with systemic therapies, particularly in delaying disease progression and hopefully in increasing the median survival time. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) rapidly emerged in recent years as one of the most effective and less toxic local treatment modalities for lung, liver, adrenal, brain and bone metastases. The aim of this review was to focus on its clinical role for oligometastatic disease in four major cancer subtypes: lung, breast, colorectal and prostate. On the basis of the available evidence, SBRT is able to provide high rates of local tumor control without significant toxicity. Its global impact on survival is uncertain; however, in specific subpopulations of oligometastatic patients there is a trend towards a significant improvement in progression-free and overall survival rates; these important data might be used as a platform for clinical decision-making and establish the basis for the current and future prospective trials investigating its role with or without systemic treatments.

Abstract
Since the introduction of anatomical and functional imaging with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and choline or prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography-computed tomography, we are able to diagnose a previously unknown disease, the oligometastatic prostate cancer after local therapy. Reports on surgical and radiation treatment for low-volume metastatic recurrence have shown promising results, with definitive cure in few but a relevant delay of androgen-deprivation therapy with both treatment methods. Obviously, these results need to be validated with prospective randomised data.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of CyberKnife-based stereotactic ablative radiotherapy on prostate cancer lymph node metastases. Our material consisted of 18 patients with 31 metastatic lymph nodes irradiated between 2011 and 2014 using CyberKnife-based stereotactic ablative radiotherapy. Patients were irradiated using fraction dose varied from 6 to 15 Gy (median 10), to the total dose of 24 to 45 Gy (median 30). Irradiated lymph node size varied from 0.4 to 4.0 cm. In all, 9 patients had single lymph node metastasis and 9 patients had metastases of 2 to 4 lymph nodes. Prostate-specific antigen concentration before radiotherapy varied from 0.01 to 15.58 (mean 6.97; median 4.66). All patients at the time of radiotherapy and follow-up received androgen deprivation therapy. Mann-Whitney U, Kaplan-Meier method, and log-rank tests were used in statistical analysis. We obtained the following results: after CyberKnife stereotactic ablative radiotherapy, prostate-specific antigen concentration dropped in majority of cases and during the last control varied from 0.00 to 258.00 (median 2.5), and was lower in patients without dissemination to other organs ( P = .01). Complete regression was found in 12 lesions, stable disease in 13, and progression in 4. In 7 patients, the dissemination to other organs occurred. Our results allow us to conclude that CyberKnife stereotactic ablative radiotherapy of prostate cancer lymph node oligometastases gives good local control and relatively good prostate-specific antigen response.

Abstract
Management paradigms for metastatic non-small cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) are evolving. Locally ablative therapies are now being increasingly integrated into combined-modality treatment strategies for mNSCLC patients with limited burdens of metastatic foci, termed oligometastases. Concurrently, techniques allowing for precise high-dose radiotherapy delivered over 1 to 5 total treatments, termed stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or stereotactic ablative radiation therapy (SABR), have emerged as a powerful means of noninvasive tumor ablation with broad patient candidacy. Strong rationale exists for ablative therapy in the setting of oligometastatic NSCLC, including patterns-of-failure analyses and data supporting local ablation of oligoprogressive disease for patients with oncogene-addicted mNSCLC treated with tyrosine kinase inhibitors. In this article, we examine the theoretical basis for ablation of oligometastatic NSCLC and review the growing clinical literature of mNSCLC patients treated with ablative radiation therapy.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review outcomes of patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer (PCa) treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and to identify variables associated with local failure. METHODS AND MATERIALS We retrospectively reviewed records of patients treated with SBRT for oligometastatic PCa. Metastasis control (ie, control of the treated lesion, MC), biochemical progression-free survival, distant progression-free survival, and overall survival were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Sixty-six men with 81 metastatic PCa lesions, 50 of which were castrate-resistant, were included in the analysis. Lesions were in bone (n=74), lymph nodes (n=6), or liver (n=1). Stereotactic body radiation therapy was delivered in 1 fraction to 71 lesions (88%), at a median dose of 16 Gy (range, 16-24 Gy). The remaining lesions received 30 Gy in 3 fractions (n=6) or 50 Gy in 5 fractions (n=4). Median follow-up was 16 months (range, 3-49 months). Estimated MC at 2 years was 82%. Biochemical progression-free survival, distant progression-free survival, and overall survival were 54%, 45%, and 83%, respectively. On multivariate analysis, only the dose of SBRT was significantly associated with MC; lesions treated with 16 Gy had 58% MC, and those treated with ≥18 Gy had 95% MC at 2 years (P≤.001). At 2 years, MC for lesions treated with 18 Gy (n=21) was 88%. No patient treated with ≥18 Gy in a single fraction or with any multifraction regimen had local failure. Six patients (9%) had grade 1 pain flare, and 2 (3%) had grade 2 pain flare. No grade 2 or greater late toxicities were reported. CONCLUSIONS Stereotactic body radiation therapy for patients with oligometastatic prostate cancer provided optimal metastasis control and acceptable toxicity with doses ≥18 Gy. Biochemical progression-free survival was 54% at 16 months with the inclusion of SBRT in the treatment regimen. Stereotactic body radiation therapy should be considered in patients with castration-refractory, oligometastatic prostate cancer who have limited options for systemic therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is emerging as a treatment option in oligometastatic cancer patients. This retrospective study aimed to analyze local control, biochemical progression-free survival (b-PFS), and toxicity in patients affected by isolated prostate cancer lymph node metastases. Finally, we evaluated androgen deprivation therapy-free survival (ADT-FS). METHODS Forty patients with 47 isolated lymph nodes of recurrent prostate cancer were treated with SBRT. Mostly, two different fractionation schemes were used: 5 × 7 Gy in 23 (48.9 %) lesions and 5 × 8 Gy in 13 (27.7 %) lesions. Response to treatment was assessed with periodical PSA evaluation. Toxicity was registered according to RTOG/EORTC criteria. RESULTS With a mean follow-up of 30.18 months, local control was achieved in 98 % of the cases, with a median b-PFS of 24 months. We obtained a 2-year b-PFS of 44 % with 40 % of the patients ADT-free at last follow-up (mean value 26.18 months; range 3.96-59.46), whereas 12.5 % had a mean ADT-FS of 13.58 months (range 2.06-37.13). Late toxicity was observed in one (2.5 %) patient who manifested a grade 3 gastrointestinal toxicity 11.76 months after the end of SBRT. CONCLUSION Our study demonstrates that SBRT is safe, effective, and minimally invasive in the eradication of limited nodal metastases, yielding an important delay in prescribing ADT.
