Abstract
AIMS To evaluate longitudinal patient-reported quality of life (QoL) in patients treated with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for oligometastases. MATERIALS AND METHODS The SABR-5 trial was a population-based single-arm phase II study of SABR to up to five sites of oligometastases, conducted in six regional cancer centres in British Columbia, Canada from 2016 to 2020. Prospective QoL was measured using treatment site-specific QoL questionnaires at pre-treatment baseline and at 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30 and 36 months after treatment. Patients with bone metastases were assessed with the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Patients with liver, adrenal and abdominopelvic lymph node metastases were assessed with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Abdominal Discomfort (FACIT-AD). Patients with lung and intrathoracic lymph node metastases were assessed with the Prospective Outcomes and Support Initiative (POSI) lung questionnaire. The two one-sided test procedure was used to assess equivalence between the worst QoL score and the baseline score of individual patients. The mean QoL at all time points was used to determine the trajectory of QoL response after SABR. The proportion of patients with 'stable', 'improved' or 'worsened' QoL was determined for all time points based on standard minimal clinically important differences (MCID; BPI worst pain = 2, BPI functional interference score [FIS] = 0.5, FACIT-AD Trial Outcome Index [TOI] = 8, POSI = 3). RESULTS All enrolled patients with baseline QoL assessment and at least one follow-up assessment were analysed (n = 133). On equivalence testing, the patients' worst QoL scores were clinically different from baseline scores and met MCID (BPI worst pain mean difference: 1.8, 90% confidence interval 1.19 to 2.42]; BPI FIS mean difference: 1.68, 90% confidence interval 1.15 to 2.21; FACIT-AD TOI mean difference: -8.76, 90% confidence interval -11.29 to -6.24; POSI mean difference: -4.61, 90% confidence interval -6.09 to -3.14). However, the mean FIS transiently worsened at 9, 18 and 21 months but eventually returned to stable levels. The mean FACIT and POSI scores also worsened at 36 months, albeit with a limited number of responses (n = 4 and 8, respectively). Most patients reported stable QoL at all time points (range: BPI worst pain 71-82%, BPI FIS 45-78%, FACIT-AD TOI 50-100%, POSI 25-73%). Clinically significant stability, worsening and improvement were seen in 70%/13%/18% of patients at 3 months, 53%/28%/19% at 18 months and 63%/25%/13% at 36 months. CONCLUSIONS Transient decreases in QoL that met MCID were seen between patients' worst QoL scores and baseline scores. However, most patients experienced stable QoL relative to pre-treatment levels on long-term follow-up. Further studies are needed to characterise patients at greatest risk for decreased QoL.

Abstract
AIMS Most patients experience stable quality of life (QoL) after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) treatment for oligometastases. However, a subset of patients experience clinically relevant declines in QoL on post-treatment follow-up. This study aimed to identify risk factors for QoL decline. MATERIALS AND METHODS The SABR-5 trial was a population-based single-arm phase II study of SABR to up to five sites of oligometastases. Prospective QoL was measured using treatment site-specific tools at pre-treatment baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30 and 36 months after treatment. The time to persistent QoL decline was calculated as the time from SABR to the first decline in QoL score meeting minimum clinically important difference with no improvement to baseline score on subsequent assessments. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses were carried out to determine factors associated with QoL decline. RESULTS One hundred and thirty-three patients were included with a median follow-up of 32 months (interquartile range 25-43). Thirty-five patients (26%) experienced a persistent decline in QoL. The median time until persistent QoL decline was not reached. The cumulative incidence of QoL decline at 2 and 3 years were 22% (95% confidence interval 14.0-29.6) and 40% (95% confidence interval 28.0-51.2), respectively. In multivariable analysis, disease progression (odds ratio 5.23, 95% confidence interval 1.59-17.47, P = 0.007) and adrenal metastases (odds ratio 9.70, 95% confidence interval 1.41-66.93, P = 0.021) were associated with a higher risk of QoL decline. Grade 3 or higher (odds ratio 3.88, 95% confidence interval 0.92-16.31, P = 0.064) and grade 2 or higher SABR-associated toxicity (odds ratio 2.24, 95% confidence interval 0.85-5.91, P = 0.10) were associated with an increased risk of QoL decline but did not reach statistical significance. CONCLUSIONS Disease progression and adrenal lesion site were associated with persistent QoL decline following SABR. The development of grade 3 or higher toxicities was also associated with an increased risk, albeit not statistically significant. Further studies are needed, focusing on the QoL impact of metastasis-directed therapies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Radiotherapy delivery regimens can vary between a single fraction (SF) and multiple fractions (MF) given daily for up to several weeks depending on the location of the cancer or metastases. With limited evidence comparing fractionation regimens for oligometastases, there is support to explore toxicity levels to nearby organs at risk as a primary outcome while using SF and MF stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) as well as explore differences in patient-reported quality of life and experience. METHODS This study will randomize 598 patients in a 1:1 ratio between the standard arm (MF SABR) and the experimental arm (SF SABR). This trial is designed as two randomized controlled trials within one patient population for resource efficiency. The primary objective of the first randomization is to determine if SF SABR is non-inferior to MF SABR, with respect to healthcare provider (HCP)-reported grade 3-5 adverse events (AEs) that are related to SABR. Primary endpoint is toxicity while secondary endpoints include lesional control rate (LCR), and progression-free survival (PFS). The second randomization (BC Cancer sites only) will allocate participants to either complete quality of life (QoL) questionnaires only; or QoL questionnaires and a symptom-specific survey with symptom-guided HCP intervention. The primary objective of the second randomization is to determine if radiation-related symptom questionnaire-guided HCP intervention results in improved reported QoL as measured by the EuroQoL-5-dimensions-5levels (EQ-5D-5L) instrument. The primary endpoint is patient-reported QoL and secondary endpoints include: persistence/resolution of symptom reporting, QoL, intervention cost effectiveness, resource utilization, and overall survival. DISCUSSION This study will compare SF and MF SABR in the treatment of oligometastases and oligoprogression to determine if there is non-inferior toxicity for SF SABR in selected participants with 1-5 oligometastatic lesions. This study will also compare patient-reported QoL between participants who receive radiation-related symptom-guided HCP intervention and those who complete questionnaires alone.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) In the metastatic setting, there is uncertain benefit to localized eradication of one or more lesions that are progressing despite systemic therapy. This randomized phase II trial examined if patients with ≤5 sites of oligoprogression benefited from the addition of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) to standard of care (SOC) systemic therapy. MATERIALS/METHODS Eligibility criteria included age ≥18 years, ECOG performance status 0-2, and oligoprogressive disease, defined as 1-5 lesions actively progressing while on systemic therapy. Patients were required to have at least 3 months of disease stability/response on systemic therapy prior to oligoprogression. After stratifying by type of systemic therapy (cytotoxic vs. non-cytotoxic), patients were randomized 2:1 to SABR to all progressing lesions plus SOC (SABR arm) vs. SOC alone (SOC arm). The trial began exclusive to non-small cell lung cancer but did not meet accrual goals and was expanded in 2019 to include all non-hematologic malignancies. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary endpoints included overall survival (OS), lesional control, quality of life (QOL), toxicity, and duration of current systemic agent post-SABR. RESULTS Between February 2017 and June 2021, 90 patients with 125 oligoprogressive metastases were enrolled across 8 Canadian institutions, with 59 patients randomized to SABR and 31 to SOC. Median age was 67 years (IQR: 61-73 years) and 39 (43%) were female. The most common primary sites were lung (44% of patients), genitourinary (23%) and breast (13%), with the most common oligo-progressive locations being lung (43%), bone (19%), lymph nodes (14%), and liver (13%). In the SABR arm, the most common fractionations were 35 Gy/5 (38% of lesions) and 50 Gy/5 (18%). Protocol adherence in the SOC arm was suboptimal: 3 patients (10%) withdrew immediately after randomization, and 7 additional patients (23%) received high-dose or ablative therapies. Median follow-up was 31 months. There was no difference in PFS between arms (median PFS 8.4 months in the SABR arm vs. 4.3 months in the SOC arm; however, the curves cross and 2-year PFS was 9% vs. 24% respectively, p = 0.91). Median OS was 31.2 months vs. 27.4 months, respectively (p = 0.22). Lesional control with SABR was 71% vs. 39% with SOC (p = 0.002). Median duration of post-randomization first-line systemic therapy was 10.3 months vs. 7.6 months, respectively (p = 0.71). Treatment was well-tolerated with 2 (3.4%) grade 3 treatment-related toxicities in the SABR arm and no grade 4/5 related events in either arm. QOL did not differ between arms. CONCLUSION Despite being a well-tolerated treatment providing superior lesional control, SABR for oligoprogression did not improve PFS or OS. Results may have been impacted by withdrawals and desire for ablative treatments on the SOC arm, and this lack of equipoise may make accrual to phase III trials difficult, although larger studies in select sub-populations are desired.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To determine polymetastatic recurrence-free survival (PMRFS) in patients with repeat oligometastases (OM) on the SABR-5 trial. MATERIALS/METHODS SABR-5 is a prospective, multi-center trial that evaluated the safety of stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in patients with 1-5 OM or oligoprogressive lesions. On SABR-5, patients were followed post-SABR according to standardized protocols. Patients with repeat extra-cranial OM after metastasis-directed therapy (MDT; SABR, surgery, or thermoablation) to all initial OM (including those treated before enrolment on SABR-5) were identified. Exclusion criteria included history of multiple primary malignancies and incomplete re-staging. PMRFS was defined as time from presentation of repeat oligometastases to death or presentation of 6 or more progressing metastases, leptomeningeal metastases, lymphangitic carcinomatosis, malignant ascites, or malignant pleural effusion. PMRFS, overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) were calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Seventy-six patients with repeat OM were included, of which 44 (58%) received second MDT to all OM. The most common histology in patients who received second MDT was colorectal cancer (10/44 [23%]) and in those who did not was prostate cancer (17/32 [53%]). Patients who did vs. did not receive second MDT had fewer metastases at repeat OM (mean 1.3 vs 2.2; p<0.001) and no difference in time between initial OM and repeat OM (16 vs. 17 months; p = 0.74). For patients who received second MDT, median follow-up from presentation of repeat OM was 2.6 years. Median PFS after first and second MDT were 15 months (95% CI 11-18) and 11 months (95% CI 7-17), respectively. At last follow-up, 22/44 patients (50%) were alive without polymetastatic recurrence. 3-year PMRFS and OS from presentation of repeat OM were 51% (95% CI 33-66%) and 66% (95% CI 47-79%), respectively. CONCLUSION Patients presenting with repeat OM after MDT may still have favorable 3-year PMRFS and OS, which may justify exploring aggressive local treatments in this subpopulation. Further randomized trials in this space are needed.

Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) To evaluate longitudinal patient-reported quality of life (QoL) in patients treated with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for oligometastases. MATERIALS/METHODS The SABR-5 trial was a population-based single-arm phase II study of SABR to up to 5 sites of oligometastases, conducted in 6 regional cancer centers in British Columbia from 2016 to 2020. Prospective QoL was measured using treatment site-specific QoL questionnaires at pre-treatment baseline and 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30, and 36 months after treatment. Patients with bone metastases were assessed with the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). Patients with liver, adrenal, and abdominopelvic lymph node metastases were assessed with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Abdominal Discomfort (FACIT-AD). Patients with lung and intrathoracic lymph node metastases were assessed with the Prospective Outcomes and Support Initiative (POSI) lung questionnaire. The two one-sided test procedure was used to assess equivalence between the worst QoL score and baseline score of individual patients. Mean QoL at all time points was used to determine the trajectory of QoL response after SABR. The proportion of patients with "stable," "improved," or "worsened" QoL was determined for all time points based on standard minimal clinically important differences (MCID; BPI worst pain = 2, BPI Functional Interference Score [FIS] = 0.5, FACIT-AD Trial Outcome Index [TOI] = 8, POSI = 3). RESULTS All enrolled patients with baseline QoL assessment and at least 1 follow-up assessment were analyzed (n = 135). On equivalence testing, patients' worst QoL scores were clinically different from baseline scores and met MCID (BPI worst pain mean difference: 1.8, 90% CI [1.19 to 2.42]; BPI FIS mean difference: 1.68, 90% CI [1.15 to 2.21]; FACIT-AD TOI mean difference: -8.76, 90% CI [-11.29 to -6.24]; POSI mean difference: -4.61, 90% CI [-6.09 to -3.14]). However, the mean FIS transiently worsened at 9, 18 and 21 months but eventually returned to stable levels. The mean FACIT and POSI scores also worsened at 36 months, albeit with a limited number of responses (n = 4 and 8, respectively). The majority of patients reported stable QoL at all time points (range: BPI worst pain 71-82%, BPI FIS 45-78%, FACIT-AD TOI 50-100%, POSI 25-73%). Clinically significant stability, worsening, and improvement were seen in 70%/13%/18% of patients at 3 months, 53%/28%/19% at 18 months and 63%/25%/13% at 36 months. CONCLUSION SABR in the oligometastatic setting can lead to transient decreases in QoL. However, most patients experienced stable QoL relative to pre-treatment levels on long-term follow-up. Further studies are needed to characterize patients at greatest risk for decreased QoL.

Abstract
Objective. The development of radiation-induced fibrosis after stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) can obscure follow-up images and delay detection of a local recurrence in early-stage lung cancer patients. The objective of this study was to develop a radiomics model for computer-assisted detection of local recurrence and fibrosis for an earlier timepoint (<1 year) after the SABR treatment.Approach. This retrospective clinical study included CT images (n= 107) of 66 patients treated with SABR. A z-score normalization technique was used for radiomic feature standardization across scanner protocols. The training set for the radiomics model consisted of CT images (66 patients; 22 recurrences and 44 fibrosis) obtained at 24 months (median) follow-up. The test set included CT-images of 41 patients acquired at 5-12 months follow-up. Combinations of four widely used machine learning techniques (support vector machines, gradient boosting, random forests (RF), and logistic regression) and feature selection methods (Relief feature scoring, maximum relevance minimum redundancy, mutual information maximization, forward feature selection, and LASSO) were investigated. Pyradiomics was used to extract 106 radiomic features from the CT-images for feature selection and classification.Main results. An RF + LASSO model scored the highest in terms of AUC (0.87) and obtained a sensitivity of 75% and a specificity of 88% in identifying a local recurrence in the test set. In the training set, 86% accuracy was achieved using five-fold cross-validation. Delong's test indicated that AUC achieved by the RF+LASSO is significantly better than 11 other machine learning models presented here. The top three radiomic features: interquartile range (first order), Cluster Prominence (GLCM), and Autocorrelation (GLCM), were revealed as differentiating a recurrence from fibrosis with this model.Significance. The radiomics model selected, out of multiple machine learning and feature selection algorithms, was able to differentiate a recurrence from fibrosis in earlier follow-up CT-images with a high specificity rate and satisfactory sensitivity performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) for oligometastases may improve survival, however concerns about safety remain. To mitigate risk of toxicity, target coverage was sacrificed to prioritize organs-at-risk (OARs) during SABR planning in the population-based SABR-5 trial. This study evaluated the effect of this practice on dosimetry, local recurrence (LR), and progression-free survival (PFS). METHODS This single-arm phase II trial included patients with up to 5 oligometastases between November 2016 and July 2020. Theprotocol-specified planning objective was to cover 95 % of the planning target volume (PTV) with 100 % of the prescribed dose, however PTV coverage was reduced as needed to meet OAR constraints. This trade-off was measured using the coverage compromise index (CCI), computed as minimum dose received by the hottest 99 % of the PTV (D99) divided by the prescription dose. Under-coverage was defined as CCI < 0.90. The potential association between CCI and outcomes was evaluated. RESULTS 549 lesions from 381 patients were assessed. Mean CCI was 0.88 (95 % confidence interval [CI], 0.86-0.89), and 196 (36 %) lesions were under-covered. The highest mean CCI (0.95; 95 %CI, 0.93-0.97) was in non-spine bone lesions (n = 116), while the lowest mean CCI (0.71; 95 % CI, 0.69-0.73) was in spine lesions (n = 104). On multivariable analysis, under-coverage did not predict for worse LR (HR 0.48, p = 0.37) or PFS (HR 1.24, p = 0.38). Largest lesion diameter, colorectal and 'other' (non-prostate, breast, or lung) primary predicted for worse LR. Largest lesion diameter, synchronous tumor treatment, short disease free interval, state of oligoprogression, initiation or change in systemic treatment, and a high PTV Dmax were significantly associated with PFS. CONCLUSION PTV under-coverage was not associated with worse LR or PFS in this large, population-based phase II trial. Combined with low toxicity rates, this study supports the practice of prioritizing OAR constraints during oligometastatic SABR planning.

Abstract
A 32-year-old man with medulloblastoma was initially treated with subtotal resection and craniospinal irradiation. He developed recurrent metastatic disease three years later with extensive bone-only metastases. Biopsy of the bone lesions confirmed metastatic medulloblastoma and restaging investigations demonstrated a superscan with no evidence of recurrence in the craniospinal axis. Extraneural metastatic medulloblastoma is rare, and the presentation with diffuse bone-only metastases with a superscan on imaging is unique. The patient had diffusely painful bone metastases requiring multiple hospitalizations for poor pain control. He declined chemotherapy and was treated with radium-223, an alpha particle emitting radionuclide therapy typically used in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer. The patient received three out of a planned six cycles of radium-223 before it was discontinued due to myelosuppression requiring multiple blood transfusions, and restaging demonstrated local recurrence in the posterior fossa. This is the first report to our knowledge describing the use of radium-223 in a patient with extraneural bone-only metastatic medulloblastoma. Further research into the effect of radium-223 in patients with diffuse bone-only metastases from non-prostate cancer primary tumors is warranted.

Abstract
Primary spinal glioblastoma (GBM) is a rare disease entity with no established standard treatment. We present two cases of primary spinal GBM initially presenting with motor-sensory deficits and back pain. Management varied in that the first patient received subtotal resection followed by radiation therapy, while the second patient underwent gross total resection followed by radiation therapy and temozolomide. The first patient died from hypoxemia secondary to disease progression affecting diaphragmatic motion three months after diagnosis. The second patient progressed intracranially and died 7.4 months after diagnosis. There is no standard of care for primary spinal GBM, so treatment should follow a multidisciplinary discussion focused on patient-specific goals. These cases highlight the poor prognosis of primary spinal GBM despite different treatment approaches, necessitating accurate reporting of all similar cases to help improve knowledge and management of this rare malignancy.

Abstract
Importance After the publication of the landmark SABR-COMET trial, concerns arose regarding high-grade toxic effects of treatment with stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) for oligometastases. Objective To document toxic effects of treatment with SABR in a large cohort from a population-based, provincial cancer program. Design, Setting, and Participants From November 2016 to July 2020, 381 patients across all 6 cancer centers in British Columbia were treated in this single-arm, phase 2 trial of treatment with SABR for patients with oligometastatic or oligoprogressive disease. During this period, patients were only eligible to receive treatment with SABR in these settings in trials within British Columbia; therefore, this analysis is population based, with resultant minimal selection bias compared with previously published SABR series. Interventions Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy to up to 5 metastases. Main Outcomes and Measures Rate of grade 2, 3, 4, and 5 toxic effects associated with SABR. Findings Among 381 participants (122 women [32%]), the mean (SD; range) age was 68 (11.1; 30-97) years, and the median (range) follow-up was 25 (1-54) months. The most common histological findings were prostate cancer (123 [32%]), colorectal cancer (63 [17%]), breast cancer (42 [11%]), and lung cancer (33 [9%]). The number of SABR-treated sites were 1 (263 [69%]), 2 (82 [22%]), and 3 or more (36 [10%]). The most common sites of SABR were lung (188 [34%]), nonspine bone (136 [25%]), spine (85 [16%]), lymph nodes (78 [14%]), liver (29 [5%]), and adrenal (15 [3%]). Rates of grade 2, 3, 4, and 5 toxic effects associated with SABR (based on the highest-grade toxic effect per patient) were 14.2%; (95% CI, 10.7%-17.7%), 4.2% (95% CI, 2.2%-6.2%), 0%, and 0.3% (95% CI, 0%-0.8%), respectively. The cumulative incidence of grade 2 or higher toxic effects associated with SABR at year 2 by Kaplan-Meier analysis was 8%, and for grade 3 or higher, 4%. Conclusions and Relevance This single-arm, phase 2 clinical trial found that the incidence of grade 3 or higher SABR toxic effects in this population-based study was less than 5%. Furthermore, the rates of grade 2 or higher toxic effects (18.6%) were lower than previously published for SABR-COMET (29%). These results suggest that SABR treatment for oligometastases has acceptable rates of toxic effects and potentially support further enrollment in randomized phase 3 clinical trials. Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02933242.

Abstract
PURPOSE A subset of patients with oligometastatic cancer experience early widespread cancer dissemination and do not benefit from metastasis-directed therapy such as stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR). This study aimed to identify factors associated with early polymetastatic relapse (PMR). METHODS AND MATERIALS The XXX trial was a single arm phase II study conducted at all 6 regional cancer centres across XXX. SABR for oligometastases was only offered on trial. Patients with up to 5 oligometastatic lesions (total, progressing or induced) received SABR to all lesions. Patients were 18 years of age or older, ECOG 0-2 and life expectancy ≥ 6 months. This secondary analysis evaluated factors associated with early PMR, defined as disease recurrence within 6 months of SABR which is not amenable to further local treatment. Univariable and multivariable analyses were performed using binary logistic regression. The Kaplan Meier method and log-rank tests assessed PMR-free survival and differences between risk groups, respectively. RESULTS Between November 2016 and July 2020, 381 patients underwent treatment on XXX. A total of 16% of patients experienced PMR. Worse performance status (ECOG 1-2 vs 0; HR=2.01, p=0.018), non-prostate/breast histology (HR=3.64, p<0.001) and oligoprogression (HR=3.84, p<0.001) were independent predictors for early PMR. Risk groups were identified with median PMR-free survival ranging from 5 months to not yet reached at the time of analysis. Rates of 3-year OS were 0%, 53% (95% confidence interval [CI] 48 - 58), 77% (95% CI 73 - 81) and 93% (95% CI 90 - 96) in groups 1-4, respectively (p<0.001). CONCLUSION Four distinct risk groups for early PMR are identified, which differ significantly in PMR-free survival and overall survival. The group with all three risk factors had a median PMR-free survival of 5 months and may not benefit from local ablative therapy alone. This model should be externally validated with data from other prospective trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Despite increasing utilization of stereotactic ablative therapy (SABR) for oligometastatic cancer, prospective outcomes are lacking. The purpose of this study was to determine progression-free survival (PFS), local control (LC) and prognostic factors from the population-based phase II XXX trial. METHODS AND MATERIALS The XXX trial was a single arm phase II study with the primary endpoint of toxicity, conducted at the 6 regional cancer centres across XXX, during which time SABR for oligometastases was only offered on trial. Patients with up to 5 oligometastases (total or not controlled by prior treatment, and including induced oligometastatic disease) underwent SABR to all lesions. Patients were 18 years of age or older, ECOG 0-2 and had life expectancy ≥ 6 months. The secondary outcomes of PFS and LC are presented here. RESULTS Between November 2016 and July 2020, 381 patients underwent SABR on trial. Median follow-up was 27 months (IQR 18-36). Median PFS was 15 months (95% CI 12-18). LC at 1 and 3 years were 93% (95% CI 91 - 95) and 87% (95% CI 84 - 90), respectively. On multivariable analysis, increasing tumor diameter (HR=1.09, p<0.001), declining performance status (HR=2.13, p<0.001), disease-free interval < 18 months (HR=1.52, p=0.003), four or more metastases at SABR (HR=1.48, p=0.048), initiation or change in systemic treatment (HR=0.50, p<0.001) and oligoprogression (HR=1.56, p=0.008) were significant independent predictors of PFS. Tumor diameter (SHR=1.28, p<0.001), colorectal histology (SHR=4.33, p=0.002) and "other" histology (SHR=3.90, p<0.001) were associated with worse local control. CONCLUSIONS In this population-based cohort including patients with genuine oligometastatic, oligoprogressive, and induced oligometastatic disease, the median PFS was 15 months and LC at 3 years was 87%. This supports ongoing efforts to randomize patients on phase III trials, even outside the original 1-5 metachronous oligometastatic paradigm.

Abstract
Stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) planning target volume (PTV) margins are influenced by multiple factors. Data is limited on intrafraction motion in bone SBRT, particularly non-spine lesions. We analyzed intrafraction motion in bone SBRT patients treated on a standard treatment couch without 6 degrees-of-freedom (6-DOF) correction. Extracranial bone SBRT patients were included. Patients were treated using two volumetric-modulated arcs and targets were localized using daily cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) prior to each arc. Alignments between the first and second CBCT images yielded intrafraction positional shift values used to compute translational 3-dimensional vector shifts. 125 fractions from 43 patients were reviewed. Median vector shift for all SABR fractions was 0.7 mm (range 0-6.6 mm); spine 0.7 mm (range:0-2.3 mm) and non-spine 0.9 mm (range:0-6.6 mm). Of the 125 fractions, 95% had IFM vectors within the prescribed PTV margin. Intrafraction motion is small for bone SBRT patients treated on a standard couch without 6-DOF correction capabilities. Intrafraction motion was slightly larger for non-spine sites and may require treatment with larger PTV margins than spine cases.

Abstract
The formation of asexual seeds in plants holds great promise as a breeding system for one-line hybrid rice. Entry into meiosis is a key developmental decision in gametogenesis, especially in formation of asexual seeds in plants. Apomeiosis in MeMCs can be achieved by identifying and manipulating meiosis-specific genes. Using methods based on in situ hybridization and expression analysis, we identified OsIME4 (inducer of meiosis 4) sense and antisense transcripts involved in rice meiosis initiation, similar to initiation of meiosis in budding yeast. Our data suggest that the OsIME4 sense transcript, which encodes a putative mRNA N6-adenosine methyltransferase, keeps rice cells at mitosis stage through some form of epigenesis (DNA/RNA methylation), and the non-coding antisense transcript of OsIME4 converts the cell status from mitosis to meiosis by inhibiting expression (transcription and translation) of the sense transcript. We identified that the non-coding antisense transcript of OsIME4 converts archesporial cell status from mitosis to meiosis by inhibiting expression of the OsIME4 sense transcript in rice. Our results provide novel insights into meiosis initiation in rice and for engineering of apomixis in sexual crops by manipulating the OsIME4 sense and antisense transcripts, which has great promise for producing apomictic rice in the future.

Abstract
Background During the novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, cancer centers considered shortened courses of radiotherapy to minimize the risk of infectious exposure of patients and staff members. Amidst a pandemic, the process of implementing new treatment approaches can be particularly challenging in larger institutions with multiple treatment centers. We describe the implementation of single-fraction (SF) lung stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) in a multicenter provincial cancer program. Materials and Methods British Columbia, Canada has a provincial cancer program with six geographically distributed radiotherapy centers serving a population of 5.1 million, over 944,735 square kilometers. In March 2020, provincial mitigation strategies were developed in case of reduced access to radiotherapy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. SF lung SABR was identified by the provincial lung radiation oncology group as a mitigation measure supported by high-quality randomized evidence that could provide comparable outcomes and toxicity to existing fractionated SABR protocols. A working group consisting of radiation oncologists and medical physicists reviewed the medical literature and drafted consensus guidelines that were reviewed by a group of center representatives as a component of provincial lung radiotherapy mitigation strategic planning. Individual centers were encouraged to implement SF lung SABR as their resources and staffing would allow. Centers were then surveyed about barriers to implementation. Results On March 24, 2020, a working group was created and consensus guidelines for SF lung SABR were drafted. The final version was approved and distributed by the working group on March 26, 2020. The provincial lung radiotherapy mitigation strategy group adopted the guidelines for implementation on April 1, 2020. Implementation was completed at the first center on April 27, 2020. Barriers to implementation were identified at five of six centers. Two centers in regions with disproportionately high COVID-19 cases described inadequate staffing as a barrier to implementation. One center encountered delays due to pre-scheduled commissioning of new treatment techniques. Three centers cited competing priorities as reasons for delay. As of May 2021, two centers had active SF lung SABR programs in place, three centers were in the process of implementation, and one center had no immediate plans for implementation due to ongoing resource issues. Conclusion SF lung SABR was adopted by a provincial cancer program within weeks of conception through rapid communication during the development of COVID-19 pandemic mitigation strategies for radiotherapy. Although consensus guidelines were written and approved in an expedited timeframe, the completion of implementation by individual centers was variable due to differences in resource allocation and staffing among the centers. Strong organizational structures and early identification of potential barriers may improve the efficiency of implementing new treatment initiatives in large multicenter radiotherapy programs.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
The clinical advantage of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) over whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT) in patients with brain metastases and poor prognosis is controversial. To investigate the feasibility of a phase III clinical trial in a population of patients with poor prognosis, we conducted a randomized feasibility study of WBRT versus SRS.
METHODS
Patients with Karnofsky performance status (KPS) ≥ 70, life expectancy of 3–6 months, based on both Diagnosis-Specific Graded Prognostic Assessments and attending oncologist opinion, and 1– 10 brain metastases with a diameter ≤ 4 cm were enrolled at six Canadian cancer centers. Patients were randomly assigned to WBRT (20 Gy in 5 fractions) or SRS (15 Gy in 1 fraction). The primary endpoint was the rate of accrual. A secondary endpoint was the ratio of screened subjects to accrued subjects. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT02220491).
RESULTS
Between January 2015 and November 2017, 210 were screened to enroll 22 patients (9.5 screened/participant) and 20 patients were randomized. The accrual rate was 0.63 patients / month. The most common reasons for exclusion were: estimated median survival outside 3–6 months (n = 40), baseline KPS below 70 (n = 28), and > 10 brain metastases (n = 28). The median survival was 7.0 months. The overall survival was 9.5 months (n = 11) for patients who had subsequent systemic therapy, compared to 3.7 months (n = 9) in patients who had none. In both arms, the cumulative incidence of retreatment with brain radiotherapy was 40%.
CONCLUSIONS
Accrual was slow and the median survival was longer than expected, but a randomized trial evaluating WBRT vs SRS in patients with poor prognosis would likely be feasible by enrolling only patients with no remaining systemic therapy options.

Abstract
Background Bone metastases in the lower spine and pelvis are effectively palliated with radiotherapy (RT), though this can come with side effects such as radiation induced nausea and vomiting (RINV). We hypothesize that high rates of RINV occur in part because of the widespread use of inexpensive simple unplanned palliative radiotherapy (SUPR), over more complex and resource intensive 3D conformal RT, such as volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT). Methods This is a randomized, multi-centre phase III trial of SUPR versus VMAT. We will accrue 250 patients to assess the difference in patient-reported RINV. This study is powered to detect a difference in quality of life between patients treated with VMAT vs. SUPR. Discussion This trial will determine if VMAT reduces early toxicity compared to SUPR and may provide justification for this more resource-intensive and costly form of RT.

Abstract
Purpose Previous studies suggest that stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is associated with higher toxicity rates for central lung tumors relative to peripheral tumors when using 3 fraction SBRT. The initial results from Radiation Therapy Oncology Group study 0813 suggest a safe toxicity profile of SBRT administered in 5 fractions for central non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We reviewed our institutional data to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SBRT for central NSCLC. Methods and materials We reviewed our prospectively collected SBRT database for patients with central NSCLC who received SBRT between 2008 and 2014. The most frequent dose and fractionations were 50 Gy in 5 fractions (59%) and 48 Gy in 4 fraction (30%). Local control (LC), regional control, metastasis-free survival, and overall survival were calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates. The National Cancer Institute Common Terminal Criteria for Adverse Events were used for toxicity grading. Results A total of 110 central lung tumors in 103 patients were included. The median age was 74 years (range, 40-95 years), and the median follow-up time of living patients was 50 months. The mean tumor size was 20 mm (range, 5-70 mm). The 5 year rate of LC, regional control, and distant control was 89%, 77%, and 82%, respectively. The median and 5-year overall survival were 3.5 years and 35%, respectively. No treatment variables were associated with tumor control or other clinical outcomes. A single patient experienced grade 3 radiation pneumonitis (0.97%). The rate of late toxicity grade ≥3 was 9.7% (grade 3, 7.7%; grade 4, 0.97%; grade 5, 0.97%) and included pneumonitis (3.9%), bronchial necrosis (2.9%), myocardial dysfunction (1.9%), and worsening heart failure (0.97%). Conclusions SBRT for central NSCLC provides high rates of LC. Despite excellent LC, patients remain at risk for regional and distant failure. The rate of grade 3 pneumonitis was consistent with that of prior reports. We observed low rates of grade 4-5 toxicity potentially attributable to SBRT. Our results contribute to the growing body of data in support of the safety of SBRT for central NSCLC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Oligometastases refer to a state of disease where cancer has spread beyond the primary site, but is not yet widely metastatic, often defined as 1-3 or 1-5 metastases in number. Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy (SABR) is an emerging radiotherapy technique to treat oligometastases that require further prospective population-based toxicity estimates. METHODS This is a non-randomized phase II trial where all participants will receive experimental SABR treatment to all sites of newly diagnosed or progressing oligometastatic disease. We will accrue 200 patients to assess toxicity associated with this experimental treatment. The study was powered to give a 95% confidence on the risk of late grade 4 toxicity, anticipating a < 5% rate of grade 4 toxicity. DISCUSSION SABR treatment of oligometastases is occurring off-trial at a high rate, without sufficient evidence of its efficacy or toxicity. This trial will provide necessary toxicity data in a population-based cohort, using standardized doses and organ at risk constraints, while we await data on efficacy from randomized phase III trials. TRIAL REGISTRATION Registered through clinicaltrials.gov NCT02933242 on October 14, 2016 prospectively before patient accrual.

Abstract
PURPOSE Determine feasibility and resultant dosimetry of an intraoperatively placed multichannel intracavitary brachytherapy catheter for accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI). METHODS Patients with breast cancer underwent intraoperative brachytherapy catheter placement based on frozen section analysis with immediate postoperative APBI. The planning target volume evaluation (PTVEval) and organs at risk were contoured on daily pretreatment CT scans for each patient, and the original treatment plan was applied to assess full-course dosimetry. RESULTS Of the first 21 patients consented for intraoperative catheter placement, 20 (95%) were able to proceed with treatment as planned. The mean volume of PTVEval receiving 90% of prescription dose (V90%) and mean percentage of prescription dose to 90% of the PTVEval (D90%) on initial planning were 96.7 (±1.1%) and 100.2 (±2.1%), respectively. Full-course dose coverage remained excellent with a mean PTVEval V90% and D90% of 95.0 (±4.4%) and 100.2 (±9.6%), respectively. Mean full-course maximum dose constraints for chest wall and skin were met by 70% and 95% of patients, respectively. Air accumulation >1 cc during treatment increased the risk of a daily fraction with PTVEval coverage below goal (odds ratio, 9.8; p = 0.05), whereas those with applicators <0.5 cm from the chest wall at planning were at risk of exceeding that organ's maximum dose constraint on a daily fraction (odds ratio, 45; p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS Intraoperative catheter placement and early initiation of APBI based on frozen section pathology is feasible, yields acceptable dosimetry, and is an option for completing breast conserving therapy in less than 10 days.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION To better understand the efficacy of liver SBRT we reviewed our prospectively collected institutional SBRT database. METHODS Between May 2008 and March 2013, 80 patients with 104 liver lesions received SBRT. The Kaplan-Meier method estimated local control (LC), overall survival (OS). Cox proportional hazards regression models identified factors associated with LC and OS. RESULTS The median follow-up for living patients was 38.6 months. Patients had primary (n=17) or metastatic (n=63) tumors. The median tumor size was 2.7 cm (range, 0.6-14.0). The 1 and 4 year rates of LC were 89.4% and 88%, respectively. Colorectal (CRC) metastasis was associated with lower rates of LC (p=0.013). OS at 1 and 4 years was 78% and 25%, respectively. Patients with CRC metastases had higher rates of OS (p=0.03). The occurrence of severe acute and late toxicity was 3.8% and 6.3%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS SBRT should be studied in prospective clinical trials compared with other liver-directed treatment modalities.

Abstract
Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy is being increasingly adopted in the treatment of lung tumors. The use of proton beam therapy can further reduce dose to normal structures. However, uncertainty exists in proton-based treatment plans, including range uncertainties, large sensitivity to position uncertainty, and calculation of dose deposition in heterogeneous areas. This study investigated the feasibility of proton transmission beams, i.e. without the Bragg peak, to treat lung tumors with stereotactic ablative radiotherapy. We compared three representative treatment plans using proton transmission beams versus conformal static-gantry photon beams. It was found that proton treatment plans using transmission beams passing through the patient were feasible and demonstrated lower dose to normal structures and markedly reduced treatment times than photon plans. This is the first study to demonstrate the feasibility of proton-based stereotactic ablative radiotherapy planning for lung tumors using proton transmission beams alone. Further research using this novel approach for proton-based planning is warranted.

Abstract
Beet necrotic yellow vein virus (BNYVV) causes one of the most economically destructive diseases of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris), rhizomania, which may reduce sugar yield by 80%. This field investigation was conducted to evaluate the interactions between spinach genotypes and different BNYVV strains, and to determine whether BNYVV is transmitted through spinach seeds. Eight commercial spinach cultivars were planted in two BNYVV-infested fields and two control fields in Salinas, CA in 2009. Spinach plants in the BNYVV-infested fields showed disease symptoms of yellow-green or light-green vein clearing, mottling, or yellow-green chlorotic lesions on younger leaves as early as 28 days after planting (four- to six-true leaf stage). Leaves may also become stiff, more crinkled, and necrotic. There was an increase of lateral roots and leaf number but a decrease in leaf weight compared to healthy plants. Infected plants often became stunted, deformed, wilted, and dead. Symptomatic leaves and roots from plants with or without leaf symptoms in BNYVV-infested fields all tested positive for BNYVV by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. A more aggressive (resistance-breaking) strain of BNYVV led to higher disease incidence in spinach than in the wild type. BNYVV was not transmitted through spinach seeds. There were significant differences in disease development among cultivars, with disease incidence ranging from 8 to 44%, suggesting that genetic improvement of BNYVV resistance through spinach breeding should be feasible.
