This study aimed to determine the minimum detectable difference in GTV based on MRI and found that larger volume changes were required before local failure could be determined for small tumors compared to medium/large tumors.
BACKGROUND: There are no established threshold values regarding the degree of growth on imaging when assessing response of spinal metastases treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). OBJECTIVE: To determine a magnetic resonance imaging-based minimum detectable difference (MDD) in gross tumor volume (GTV) and its association with 1-yr radiation site-specific (RSS) progression-free survival (PFS). METHODS: GTVs at baseline and first 2 post-SBRT scans (Postl and Post2, respectively) for 142 spinal segments were contoured, and percentage volume change between scans calculated. One-year RSS PFS was acquired from medical records. The MDD was determined. The MDD was compared against optimal thresholds of GTV changes associated with 1-yr RSS PFS using Youden's J index, and receiver operating characteristic curves between timepoints compared to determine which timeframe had the best association. RESULTS: A total of 17 of the 142 segments demonstrated progression. The MDD was 10.9%. Baseline-Post2 demonstrated the best performance (area under the curve [AUC] 0.90). Only Baseline-Post2 had an optimal threshold > MDD at 14.7%. Due to large distribution of GTVs, volumes were split into tertiles. Small tumors (GTV < 2 cc) had optimal thresholds of 42.0%, 713%, and 37.2% at Baseline-Post1 (AUC 0.81), Baseline-Post2 (AUC 0.89), and Post1-Post2 (AUC 0.77), respectively. Medium tumors (2 <= GTV <= 8.3 cc) all demonstrated optimal thresholds < MDD, with AUC5 ranging from 0.65 to 0.84. Large tumors (GTV > 8.3 cc) had 2 timepoints where optimal thresholds > MDD: Baseline-Post2 (13.3%; AUC 0.97) and Post1-Post2 (11.8%; AUC 0.66). Baseline-Post2 had the best association with RSS PFS for all tertiles. CONCLUSION: Given a MDD of 10.9%, for small GTVs, larger (>37%) changes were required before local failure could be determined, compared to 11% to 13% for medium/large tumors.
