Clinical Outcomes Among Patients Treated With Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy to Femur Metastases for Oligometastatic Disease Control or Reirradiation: Results From a Large Single-Institution Experience

Purpose: There are limited data regarding outcomes after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for femur metastases, which was an exclusion criteria for the Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for the Comprehensive Treatment of Oligometastatic Cancers (SABR-COMET) trial. We aimed to characterize...

description Purpose: There are limited data regarding outcomes after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for femur metastases, which was an exclusion criteria for the Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy for the Comprehensive Treatment of Oligometastatic Cancers (SABR-COMET) trial. We aimed to characterize clinical outcomes from a large single institution experience. Methods and Materials: Forty-eight patients with 53 lesions were consecutively treated with femur SBRT from May 2017 to June 2022. The Kaplan-Meier method and Cox proportional hazard models were used to characterize time-to-event endpoints and associations between baseline factors and clinical outcomes, respectively. Local control and locoregional control were defined as the absence of tumor progression within the radiation treatment field or within the treated femur, respectively. Results: Most patients had Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status 0 to 1 (90%), prostate (52%) or breast/lung (17%) cancer, and 1 to 3 lesions (100%), including 29 proximal and 5 distal. Fifty-seven percent of the lesions were treated with concurrent systemic therapy. Median planning target volume was 49.1 cc (range, 6.6-387 cc). Planning target volume V100 (%) was 99% (range, 90-100). Fractionation included 18 to 20 Gy/1F, 27 to 30 Gy/3F, and 28.5-40 Gy/5F. Forty-two percent had Mirels score ≥7 and most (94%) did not have extraosseous extension. Acute toxicities included grade 1 fatigue (15%), pain flare (7.5%), nausea (3.8%), and decreased blood counts (1.9%). Late toxicities included fracture (1.9%) at 1.5 years and osteonecrosis (4%) from dose of 40 Gy in 5F and 30 Gy in 5F (after prior 30 Gy/10F). One patient (2%) required fixation postradiation for progressive pain. With median follow-up 19.4 months, 1- and 2-year rates of local control were 94% and 89%, locoregional control was 83% and 67%, progression-free survival were 56% and 25%, and overall survival were 91% and 73%. Fifty percent of local regional recurrence events occurred within 5 cm of gross tumor volume. Conclusions: Femur SBRT for oligometastatic disease control in well-selected patients was associated with good outcomes with minimal rates of acute and late toxicity. Patterns of local regional recurrence warrant consideration of larger elective volume coverage. Additional prospective study is needed.
