RESUMEN
Background: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is often delivered in patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD). However, the specific subset of patients with polymetastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on novel systemic therapies who develop induced oligopersistant disease (OpersisD) or oligoprogressive disease (OprogD), as defined by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) OMD classification, has not been well described. This study explores the outcomes of patients treated with this strategy. Methods: Patients with stage IV NSCLC being treated with osimertinib or immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) who received extracranial SBRT for OpersisD or OprogD were identified in our retrospective analysis. Outcomes reported include progression-free survival (PFS), time to change of systemic treatment (TTCST), overall survival (OS), local control (LC) and treatment-related toxicity. Results: Forty-nine patients received SBRT for OpersisD (34.7%) or OprogD (65.3%) at a median of 5.8 and 15.3 months after start of systemic therapy, respectively. 55.1% received concurrent osimertinib and 44.9% received ICI. Seventy-seven extracranial lesions were treated with various fractionation schemas. At a median of 18.8 months follow-up from first SBRT, LC was achieved in 92.2% of total lesions treated (71). The 1-year OS was 91.7% for OpersisD and 83.3% for OprogD. OpersisD compared to OprogD had a longer median PFS (18.3 vs. 6.1 months) and longer median TTCST (23.6 vs. 13.5 months), median OS was not reached for either cohort. On multivariate analysis, patients treated with osimertinib had shorter PFS (HR: 2.20; 95% CI: 1.01-4.82; P=0.048) and shorter TTCST (HR: 2.83; 95% CI: 1.09-7.33; P=0.032). One patient (2%) experienced grade 3 pneumonitis after SBRT, and no grade 4-5 toxicities were reported with SBRT treatment. Conclusions: This study indicates that SBRT for OpersisD or OprogD in Stage IV NSCLC patients on osimertinib or ICIs is safe, very well tolerated, and may prolong the time before needing a shift in systemic therapy. Further prospective research is needed to validate and expand upon these findings.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: There is uncertainty regarding the role of obesity in type 1 diabetes development. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to collect and synthesize evidence regarding BMI and the risk of developing type 1 diabetes. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted to assess the association between BMI and incident type 1 diabetes. Databases were searched up to June 2022. Cohort studies were included reporting the association between overweight and/or obesity, as measured by BMI after age 2 years, with incident type 1 diabetes. Independent reviewers extracted data and assessed study quality. Risk estimates were pooled using a random-effects model. RESULTS: Ten cohort studies met the inclusion criteria. The seven studies that classified BMI into categories were of high quality and involved 1,690,660 individuals and 1979 incident type 1 diabetes cases. The pooled risk ratio (RR) for type 1 diabetes was 1.35 (95% CI 0.93-1.97) among people with overweight (3 studies); 2.17 (95% CI 1.75-2.69) among people with obesity (5 studies); and 1·87 (95% CI 1.52-2.29) among people with overweight/obesity (two studies merged the categories). These point estimates persisted in sensitivity analyses that addressed the duration of follow-up, variability in baseline risk for incident type 1 diabetes, and potential misclassifications related to exposure or outcome definitions. People with overweight/obesity had a 2.55 (95% CI 1.11-5.86) greater risk for incident type 1 diabetes with positive islet autoantibodies. CONCLUSION: This systematic review and meta-analysis of high-quality observational cohort studies indicated an association between high BMI and the risk of type 1 diabetes, in a graded manner.
