Does stereotactic body radiation therapy have a role in oligoprogressive metastatic colorectal cancer

2018 
755Background: Patients with metastatic colorectal cancer undergoing systemic therapy may enter an oligoprogressive state. Traditionally, local ablative therapy (LAT) has been limited to symptom palliation. We hypothesize that LAT for oligoprogressive lesions with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a feasible alternative to surgical interventions and may delay progression of disease. Methods: An IRB-approved retrospective review of patients with oligoprogressive, metastatic colorectal cancer who were treated with SBRT at Georgetown University Hospital from 2012-2016 was performed. Results: 40 patients with 41 metastatic lesions of the lung (n = 11), liver (n = 10), lymph nodes (n = 8), soft tissue (n = 6), and bone (n = 6) were reviewed. Median follow-up, overall survival, and freedom from distant progression were 10.6, 17.3, and 6.4 months, respectively. Crude one year local control and overall survival were 82.9% and 75%, respectively. First site of progression was distally in 63.4% of patien...
