Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the early response of SBRT in stage I NSCLC patients (T1-T2aN0M0). Subject and method: Prospective, follow-up 25 patients with stage T1-T2aN0M0 NSCLC, who were received SBRT and evaluated every three months from January, 2015 to December, 2020. The response in third month was assessed according to RECIST 1.1 and PERCIST 1.0, the toxicity was evaluated by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.03/2010. Result: The average age was 65.32 years-old, the mean of diameter on the Chest CT was 3.33cm, on the PET/CT 3.21cm, the mean of FDG value was 8.01. The stage of the tumor was mostly T2a (56%). Patients were indicated SBRT due to COPD: 60%. The mean of the doses was 4208cGy, 40% of patients was treated by 1 fraction, others were 3 - 5 fractions. According to RECIST criteria, no patients completion response (CR), 44% partial response (PR), 36% stable disease (SD) and 5 patients progression disease (PD), the objective response rate (ORR) was 44%, the disease control rate (DCR) was 80%. By PERCIST, there was 1 patient CR, the others ratios were 68%, 24%, 8%, 68% and 92%, respectively, the difference between two criteria was statistically significant (p<0.05). CEA and SUVmax value were related to the response after treatment (p<0.05). The common of adverse events was pneumonitis due to SBRT at 11 patients, but mainly was grade 1, no patients had pneumonitis grade 4 and 5. No clinically significant changes in pulmonary function following SBRT for early stage NSCLC. Conclusion: SBRT was the treatment for a good response in stage I NSCLC patients with a disease control rate of 92%, and was a safe treatment for patients.
