Significant predictors of local control and overall survival on univariate and multivariate analyses

Overall Survival
Local Control
Factor Univariate Multivariate Factor Univariate Multivariate
Systemic therapy post-SBRT P = .0209 P = .0246/HR = 2.338 (95% CI, 1.115–4.903) 18–26 Gy/1–2 fractions vs 18–40 Gy/3–5 fractions P = .0292 P = .0224;/HR = 0.322 (95% CI, 0.122–0.852)
Preoperative Bilsky grade P = .0956 NS Postoperative Bilsky grade 0/1 vs 2/3 P = .0092 P = .003;/HR = 0.225 (95% CI, 0.084–0.604)
18–26 Gy in 1–2 fractions vs 18–40 Gy in 3–5 fractions P = .09 NS CTV V80 P = .0914 NS
Presence of lung and liver metastases P = .0715 NS Systemic therapy post-SBRT P = .1012 NS

Abbreviations: NS, not significant; CTV V80, volume of the clinical target volume encompassed by 80% of the prescribed dose.

Only those factors with P≤ .1 are shown for the univariate analysis and only those significant at P≤ .05 are shown for the multivariate analysis.
