Studies investigating the use of SBRT in oligometastatic breast and colorectal cancer

Study Patients Eligibility criteria Study design Site of metastases Therapy Median follow-up (months) Median PFS (months) Median OS (months) Other therapy (percentage)
Breast cancer
Milano et al. [35] 40 <5 extracranial metastases subgroup analysis of a prospective Phase II trial liver, lung, lymph nodes, bone SBRT NR 23 not reached adjuvant chemotherapy/hormonal therapy (80%)
Colorectal cancer
Kim et al. [55] 13 isolated lung metastases retrospective observational lung SBRT 28 NR (PFS at 3 years: 11.5%) NR (OS at 3 years: 64.7%) chemotherapy (100%)
Takeda et al. [56] 15 lung oligometastases retrospective observational with LC as primary endpoint lung SBRT 29 NA (LC at 2 years: 72%)a NA NA
Filippi et al. [57] 40 metachronous, at first lung progression retrospective observational lung SBRT 20 8 46 pre-post SBRT chemotherapy (20%)
Qiu et al. [58] 65 synchronous/metachronous lung progression retrospective observational lung SBRT 6.4 5.7 20.3 previous chemotherapy for metastatic disease (69%)
Comito et al. [59] 82 1–3 lung or liver metastases retrospective observational lung, liver SBRT 24 14 32 pre-post SBRT chemotherapy (95%)

aLocal control rates were compared with metastases from other origins and primary lung cancer, with statistically significant inferiority (P < 0.05). SRS = stereotactic radiosurgery, SBRT = stereotactic body radiation therapy, PFS = progression-free survival, OS = overall survival, LC = local control, NA = not applicable, NR = not reported.
