ABSTRACT
Oligometastases are defined as a number of detectable metastases less or equal to 5. In castrate-resistant oligo metastatic prostate Cancer (CR oligoM PC), Metastases-Directed Ablative radiotherapy (MDRT) is poorly investigated. Our study retrospectively reviewed the cases of CR oligoM PC treated with MDRT in 8 French high-volume radiotherapy centers. OS and PFS are defined as the delay between the first day of MDRT and death (OS) or progression according to PCWG criteria (PFS). OS and PFS are evaluated according to Kaplan Meyer, curves are compared with log rank test. Logistic regression was used to identify predictive factors for outcome: bone versus node metastasis, ISUP grade, PSA doubling Time (PSADT) at the time of MDRT, time to castration resistance. 107 patients were included in the study, among those 197 metastases received MDRT. For the overall population, the median follow-up was 25.2 months (1,4-145). OS was 93 % at 2 years and 81,4% at 3 years. At 2 years, 100 % of patients with node-only metastasis were alive versus 88,7% among those who have bone metastases (p = 0,72). The median PFS was 12,6 months (IC 95 % [9,6; 17]), with no difference among patients with node only disease versus the rest of the cohort. The PFS was 18,2 months (10,0; 32,4) in patients with PSADT >6 months versus 10,7 months (8,9; 14,3) when PSADT was inferior to 6 months. However, this difference did not reach significant. We did not find a correlation neither between ISUP grade (1-2 versus 3-4-5) and PFS, nor between hormone-sensitivity duration and PFS. Patients receiving MDRT for CR oligoM PC have a good prognosis with 81,6% OS at 3 years. PSA DT longer than 6 months could be related to better PFS. MDRT strategy could postpone the onset of new systemic treatment with median PFS >1 year.
ABSTRACT
Aim: The adrenal gland is a common site of metastasis with a rate of up to 27% in autopsy series. The incidence of these metastases is increasing due to greater use of Positron Emission Tomography scans and improved overall survival of patients with metastatic cancers. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a non-invasive treatment option for metastasis. The aim of this study is to assess prognostic factors influencing local control, progression-free and overall survival in oligometastatic patients treated with SBRT for an adrenal metastasis. Methods: In this multicentric retrospective study, we included patients with adrenal metastases treated with SBRT between 2010 and 2021 in eleven french centers. All primary tumors were included. Results: A total of 110 patients treated for 121 adrenal lesions were included. Non-small-cell lung cancer was the predominant histologic type (55.4 %). Eighty-two percent of patients had at least 2 metastatic sites. The median Planning Target Volume was 70 cm3 with a median prescription dose of 40 Gray (Gy). The mean Biologically Effective Dose (BED) 10 dose was 74.2 Gy. Local control at 1 and 2 years was 85.9 % and 72.5 % respectively. The median overall survival and progression-free survival were 31.6 and 8.5 months respectively. Local control was significantly improved by systemic treatment one month before or after SBRT (p = 0.009) and by a BED10 greater than or equal to 50 Gy (p = 0.003).In multivariate analysis, oligometastatic presentation (p = 0.009) and a metachronous metastatic presentation (p = 0.008) were independent factors for progression-free survival.Tolerance was excellent, no grade 3 and 4 toxicities were described due to SBRT. Conclusion: Stereotactic radiotherapy of adrenal metastases makes possible a local control of more than 85% at one year and was well tolerated. The factors influencing survival in oligometastatic patients still need to be found in order to better select those who benefit the most from this type of treatment.
ABSTRACT
Despite the high incidence of prostate carcinoma, metastases of the uvea are very rare and the iris localization is even more. Only a few cases worldwide have been described so far. We report here the case of a 66-year-old man diagnosed with a metastatic prostate carcinoma. Nine months later, he developed brain and skin metastases. A couple of weeks later, the metastatic lesion appeared on his left iris. He has received whole brain radiation therapy including the iris lesion in the radiation fields. Through this case report and a literature review, we discuss the incidence, the different clinical presentations and the impact on the survival prognosis of this uncommon metastatic site.
