Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the result of treatment for stage I NSCLC patients (T1-2aN0M0) inoperable by SBRT. Subject and method: Prospective, follow-up 32 patients with stage T1-2aN0M0 NSCLC with peripheral tumor, who were received SBRT, follow-up and evaluated from January 2015 to November 2021. The primary endpoint was progression free survival (PFS), the second endpoints were overall survival (OS), the OS rate in 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years, and toxicity. Result: The median age was 67 years-old, the median of diameter was 2.65cm, the mean of SUVmax value was 7.95, the stage of the tumor was mostly T2a (43.7%). The median PFS was 29 months, PFS in 2 years and 3 years were 59.8% and 42.3%, respectively. The median OS was 59 months, the ratio of OS in 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, 5 years were 96.8%, 88.6%, 84.2%, 63.1% and 42.1%, respectively. Patients who achieved disease control according to PERCIST 1.0 criteria reduced the risk of death with HR = 0.053 (95% CI: 0.003-0.86), p=0.039. The median PFS in the SUVmax < 5 group was longer than that in the SUVmax ≥ 5 group, p=0.032. Cyfra 21-1 before and after SBRT, tumor size were prognostic factors for survival. The common of adverse events was pneumonitis at 10 patients, but mainly was grade 1 and grade 2, there are no patients with grade 4 and grade 5 pneumonitis. No clinically significant changes in pulmonary function following SBRT. Conclusion: SBRT was a good option for patients with early-stage NSCLC inoperable with peripheral tumor. The SUVmax value before treatment, the disease control rate at 3 months after SBRT according to PERCIST 1.0 and Cyfra 21-1 criteria before and after treatment were the predictors of the patient's survival. And SBRT was a safe method.
