Abstract
PURPOSE Re-irradiation (re-RT) for recurrent intracranial meningiomas is hindered by the limited radiation tolerance of surrounding tissue and the risk of side effects. This study aimed at assessing outcomes, toxicities and prognostic factors in a cohort of patients with recurrent meningiomas re-treated with different RT modalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS A multi-institutional database from 8 Italian centers including intracranial recurrent meningioma (RM) patients who underwent re-RT with different modalities (SRS, SRT, PT, EBRT) was collected. Biologically Equivalent Dose in 2 Gy-fractions (EQD2) and Biological Effective Dose (BED) for normal tissue and tumor were estimated for each RT course (α/β = 2 for brain tissue and α/β = 4 for meningioma). Primary outcome was second progression-free survival (s-PFS). Secondary outcomes were overall survival (OS) and treatment-related toxicity. Kaplan-Meier curves and Cox regression models were used for analysis. RESULTS Between 2003 and 2021 181 patients (pts) were included. Median age at re-irradiation was 62 (range 20-89) and median Karnofsky Performance Status (KPS) was 90 (range 60-100). 78 pts were identified with WHO grade 1 disease, 65 pts had grade 2 disease and 10 pts had grade 3 disease. 28 pts who had no histologic sampling were grouped with grade 1 patients for further analysis. Seventy-five (41.4 %) patients received SRS, 63 (34.8 %) patients SRT, 31 (17.1 %) PT and 12 (6.7 %) EBRT. With a median follow-up of 4.6 years (interquartile range 1.7-6.8), 3-year s-PFS was 51.6 % and 3-year OS 72.5 %. At univariate analysis, SRT (HR 0.32, 95 % CI 0.19-0.55, p < 0.001), longer interval between the two courses of irradiation (HR 0.37, 95 % CI 0.21-0.67, p = 0.001), and higher tumor BED (HR 0.45 95 % CI 0.27-0.76, p = 0.003) were associated with longer s-PFS; in contrast, Ki67 > 5 % (HR 2.81, 95 % CI 1.48-5.34, p = 0.002) and WHO grade > 2 (HR 3.08, 95 % CI 1.80-5.28, p < 0.001) were negatively correlated with s-PFS. At multivariate analysis, SRT, time to re-RT and tumor BED maintained their statistically significant prognostic impact on s-PFS (HR 0.36, 95 % CI 0.21-0.64, p < 0.001; HR 0.38, 95 % CI 0.20-0.72, p = 0.003 and HR 0.31 95 % CI 0.13-0.76, p = 0.01, respectively). Acute and late adverse events (AEs) were reported in 38 (20.9 %) and 29 (16 %) patients. Larger tumor GTV (≥10 cc) was significantly associated with acute and late toxicity (p < 0.001 and p = 0.009, respectively). CONCLUSIONS In patients with recurrent meningiomas, reirradiation is a feasible treatment option associated with acceptable toxicity profile. Prognostic factors in the decision-making process have been identified and should be incorporated in daily practice.

Abstract
AIMS SCLC is the most aggressive lung cancer histology with a 5-year OS <10%. At the diagnosis, almost two-thirds of the SCLC an Extended Disease presentation. Two randomized studies (CASPIAN and ImPower133) demonstrated an OS improvement, when immunotherapy was prescribed as maintenance therapy after standard chemotherapy. To date, SABR has had a limited indication in managing metastatic SCLC, although recent reports proposed it as a valid treatment option in selected patients. We propose a retrospective multicentric analysis of patients treated with SABR for oligometastatic SCLC. METHOD Data of patients affected by oligometastatic-SCLC treated with SABR between 2017 and 2022 in 11 Italian centers were collected. Clinical and therapeutic variables together with OS and time to next treatment were analyzed. Univariate analysis with Kaplan-Meier curve were calculated, and log-rank test were applied. Cox proportional hazard model was used for multivariate analysis. RESULTS Data from 93 patients and 132 metastatic lesions were analyzed. The median age was 64 years (36-86) and all but 1 had Performance Status 0 or 1. Fifty-two patients presented ED at diagnosis. The first line treatment was radiochemotherapy in 42%, CHT alone in 24% and CHT-IO in 28%, others treatment accounts for 4% and only 2% of patients underwent best supportive care. Of the 132 lesions treated with SBRT 55 were in brain, 27 in lung, 11 in liver, 10 in lymph nodes, 8 in bones and 20 in adrenal gland. Median OS was 14 months, 1 year-OS and 2 years OS were 53% and 27%, respectively. The median TtNT was 14 months for the entire population. Of all the analyzed variables only, the anatomical site of the metastases and their number showed statistical significance in the univariate analysist, confirmed in the subsequent multivariate. CONCLUSION SABR seems to play a role in delaying further systemic lines in oligometastatic disease and to extend the use of ongoing treatment in oligoprogressive state. Prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Health-Related Quality of Life Outcomes in Meningioma Patients Based upon Tumor Location and Treatment Modality: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:4680. [PMID: 37835374 PMCID: PMC10571784 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15194680] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/21/2023] [Revised: 09/14/2023] [Accepted: 09/21/2023] [Indexed: 10/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with meningiomas may have reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL) due to postoperative neurological deficits, cognitive dysfunction, and psychosocial burden. Although advances in surgery and radiotherapy have improved progression-free survival rates, there is limited evidence regarding treatment outcomes on HRQoL. This review examines HRQoL outcomes based on tumor location and treatment modality. A systematic search in PubMed yielded 28 studies with 3167 patients. The mean age was 54.27 years and most patients were female (70.8%). Approximately 78% of meningiomas were located in the skull base (10.8% anterior, 23.3% middle, and 39.7% posterior fossae). Treatment modalities included craniotomy (73.6%), radiotherapy (11.4%), and endoscopic endonasal approach (EEA) (4.0%). The Karnofsky Performance Scale (KPS) was the most commonly utilized HRQoL instrument (27%). Preoperative KPS scores > 80 were associated with increased occurrence of postoperative neurological deficits. A significant difference was found between pre- and post-operative KPS scores for anterior/middle skull base meningiomas (SBMs) in comparison to posterior (SBMs) when treated with craniotomy. Post-craniotomy SF-36 scores were lower for posterior SBMs in comparison to those in the anterior and middle fossae. Risk factors for poor neurological outcomes include a high preoperative KPS score and patients with posterior SBMs may experience a greater burden in HRQoL.

Cancers (Basel) 2023; 15:3099. [PMID: 37370709 DOI: 10.3390/cancers15123099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 06/02/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the clinical outcome, including QoL, of patients with intracranial meningiomas WHO grade 1-3 who were treated with Pencil Beam Scanning Proton Therapy (PBS PT) between 1997 and 2022. Two hundred patients (median age 50.4 years, 70% WHO grade 1) were analyzed. Acute and late side effects were classified according to CTCAE version 5.0. Time to event data were calculated. QoL was assessed descriptively by the EORTC-QLQ-C30 and BN20 questionnaires. With a median follow-up of 65 months (range: 3.8-260.8 months) the 5 year OS was 95.7% and 81.8% for WHO grade 1 and grade 2/3, respectively (p < 0.001). Twenty (10%) local failures were observed. Failures occurred significantly (p < 0.001) more frequent in WHO grade 2 or 3 meningioma (WHO grade 1: n = 7, WHO grade 2/3: n = 13), in patients with multiple meningiomas (p = 0.005), in male patients (p = 0.005), and when PT was initiated not as upfront therapy (p = 0.011). There were no high-grade toxicities in the majority (n = 176; 88%) of patients. QoL was assessed for 83 (41.5%) patients and for those patients PT did not impacted QoL negatively during the follow-up. In summary, we observed very few local recurrences of meningiomas after PBS PT, a stable QoL, and a low rate of high-grade toxicity.
