The study showed promising results in terms of clinical outcomes for SBRT in oligometastatic gynecological malignancies, with excellent local control and no severe toxicity observed. The median follow-up of 27 months revealed no local failures and overall survival rates of 70% at 1 and 2 years. Prospective studies are advocated to further explore this therapeutic option in this setting.
Background The use of stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) for oligometastases is supported by several literature studies, but in the setting of gynecological malignancies, this scenario remains quite unexplored. This study reports a preliminary assessment of clinical outcomes in a cohort of 40 patients with oligometastatic gynecological neoplasms. Methods Radiotherapy was delivered in 3-10 fractions with VMAT-IGRT technique. Toxicity was retrospectively collected according to CTCAE v4.0. Data were retrospectively collected and analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed for assessing any potential predictive factor for clinical outcomes. Results A total of 63 oligometastases were treated from December 2014 to February 2021. Median age was 63 years (range 30-89). Most frequent primary tumors were ovarian cancer in 42.5% and endometrium cancer in 42.5%. With a median follow-up of 27 months (range 6-69), no local failures were observed, our progression-free survival rates were 43.6% and 23% at one and 2 years, respectively, while 1 and 2-year overall survival rates were both 70%. No acute or late G >= 2 adverse events were observed. Conclusions In our experience, SBRT for oligometastatic gynecological malignancies resulted in promising results in terms of clinical outcomes, with excellent local control and no evidence of severe toxicity, highlighting the effectiveness of this therapeutic option. Prospective studies to further explore this approach in this setting are advocated.
