In-field stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) reirradiation for pulmonary malignancies as a multicentre analysis of the German Society of Radiation Oncology (DEGRO)
Abstract: Data of thoracic in-field reirradiation with two courses of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) is scarce. Aim of this study is to investigate feasibility and safety of this approach. Patients with a second course of thoracic SBRT and planning target volume (PTV) overlap were analyzed in this retrospective, multicenter study. All plans and clinical data were centrally collected. 27 patients from 8 centers have been amenable for evaluation: 12 with non-small-cell lung cancer, 16 with metastases, treated from 2009 (oldest first course) to 2020 (latest second course). A median dose of 38.5 Gy to the 65%-isodose over a median of 5 fractions was prescribed in the first course and 40 Gy in 5 fractions for the second SBRT-course. Median PTV of the second SBRT was 29.5 cm3, median PTV overlap 22 cm3. With a median interval of 20.2 months between the two SBRT-courses, 1-year OS, and -LCR were 78.3% and 70.3% respectively. 3 patients developed grade 1 and one grade 2 pneumonitis. No grade > 2 toxicity was observed. Peripheral location and dose were the only factors correlating with tumor control. A second SBRT-course with PTV overlap appears safe and achieves reasonable local control
