Abstract

To investigate metabolic parameters as predictive of local response after stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for liver-oligometastases. Inclusion criteria of the present retrospective study were: (a) liver oligometastases with controlled primary tumor; (b) absence of progressive disease ≥6 months; (c) metastases ≤ 3; (d) evaluation of SBRT-response by means of 18-fludeoxyglucose-PET/CT for at least two subsequent evaluations; (e) Karnofsky performance status >80; (f) life-expectancy >6 months. The following metabolic parameters were defined semi-quantitatively for each metastases: (1) standardized uptake value (SUVmax; (2) SUV-mean; (3) metabolic tumor volume (MTV), tumor volume with a SUV ≥3, threshold 40%; (4) total lesion glycolysis (TLG), i.e. the product of SUV-mean and MTV. Local control was defined as absence of recurrence in the field of irradiation. 41 liver metastases were analyzed. Pre-SBRT, median SUV-max was 8.7 (range, 4.5-23.59), median SUV-mean was 4.6 (range, 3-7.5), median MTV was 5.7 cc (range, 0.9-80.6) and median total lesion glycolysis was 24.1 (range, 3.6-601.5). At statistical analysis, metastases with SUV-mean >5 (p 0.04; odds ratio 4.75, sensitivity = 50%, specificity = 82.6%, area under the cu...Continue Reading
