Immune checkpoint inhibition and single fraction stereotactic radiosurgery in brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer: an international multicenter study of 395 patients. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • The study focuses on the treatment of brain metastases from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) using immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), which raises concerns about potential radiation necrosis (RN).
  • Researchers analyzed data from 395 patients treated with SRS and ICI, finding that a specific dose measure (V12 Gy ≥ 10 cm) significantly predicts the risk of developing any grade RN and symptomatic RN (SRN).
  • The results indicate that while the risk of RN increases with higher V12 Gy, concurrent use of ICI and SRS does not heighten this risk, suggesting a need for careful treatment planning to limit exposure.

Article Abstract

Purpose: Approximately 80% of brain metastases originate from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICI) and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) are frequently utilized in this setting. However, concerns remain regarding the risk of radiation necrosis (RN) when SRS and ICI are administered concurrently.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted through the International Radiosurgery Research Foundation. Logistic regression models and competing risks analyses were utilized to identify predictors of any grade RN and symptomatic RN (SRN).

Results: The study included 395 patients with 2,540 brain metastases treated with single fraction SRS and ICI across 11 institutions in four countries with a median follow-up of 14.2 months. The median age was 67 years. The median margin SRS dose was 19 Gy; 36.5% of patients had a V12 Gy ≥ 10 cm. On multivariable analysis, V12 Gy ≥ 10 cm was a significant predictor of developing any grade RN (OR: 2.18) and SRN (OR: 3.95). At 1-year, the cumulative incidence of any grade and SRN for all patients was 4.8% and 3.8%, respectively. For concurrent and non-concurrent groups, the cumulative incidence of any grade RN was 3.8% versus 5.3%, respectively (p = 0.35); and for SRN was 3.8% vs. 3.6%, respectively (p = 0.95).

Conclusion: The risk of any grade RN and symptomatic RN following single fraction SRS and ICI for NSCLC brain metastases increases as V12 Gy exceeds 10 cm. Concurrent ICI and SRS do not appear to increase this risk. Radiosurgical planning techniques should aim to minimize V12 Gy.
