Abstract
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE(S) Spot/pencil beam scanned proton therapy is a relatively new technology with fundamental differences from double scattered or IMRT. We aimed to report the long-term oncologic outcomes of a contemporary prospective series of patients treated with spot-scanned proton therapy (SSPT). MATERIALS/METHODS An IRB-approved prospective registry identified patients with prostate cancer treated with proton therapy between January 2016 and December 2018. Descriptive statistics were calculated for all patients. Clinical, demographic, and treatment characteristics were gathered and analyzed. Kaplan-Meier curves were generated to estimate survival and recurrence rates. Outcomes assessed included 5-year overall survival (OS), 5-year local control (LC), biochemical failure (BF), regional and distant failures, and physician-reported adverse events (AEs). Biochemical failure was defined as rise in PSA ≥ 2.0 ng/mL above nadir PSA. Acute and chronic gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) grade 2+ and grade 3+ baseline-adjusted AEs were assigned using CTCAE v5.0. All failures were re-staged with PET C-11 or PSMA. RESULTS With a median follow up of 4.4 years (IQR 3.7 - 5), two hundred and eighty-six prostate cancer patients with a median age of 72 (IQR 67.5 - 77) were treated with spot-scanned proton radiation. The median Gleason grade group was 3 (IQR 2 - 4). The median pre-RT PSA was 6.9 ng/mL (IQR 4.3 - 10.5). Median T-stage was T1c. Nearly 64% of all patients were on androgen deprivation therapy at the time of initiating radiation treatment. The median total radiation dose was 79.2 Gy delivered over 44 fractions, 70 Gy over 28 fractions, and 38 Gy over 5 fractions for CF, HF, and SBRT regimens, respectively. The BF rate for all patients was 8.4%. The 5-year LC rates for CF, HF, and SBRT were 100% (95% CI: 100 - 100), 100% (95% CI: 100 - 100), and 97.3% (95% CI: 92.2 - 100), respectively (p = 0.07). Regional recurrences occurred in 12 (4.2%) patients: 8 (5.6%) treated with CF, 2 (2.1%) with HF, and 2 (4.3%) with SBRT (p = 0.62). Distant metastatic failures occurred in 12 patients (4.2%): 5 (3.5%) treated with CF, 7 (7.4%) with HF, and none with SBRT (0%) (p = 0.052). The 5-year OS for patients treated with CF, HF, and SBRT SSPT were 88.2% (95% CI: 81.8 - 95), 86.2% (95% CI: 77.6 - 95.6), and 97.2% (95% CI: 92 - 100), respectively (p = 0.1). Acute and chronic grade 2+ GI baseline-adjusted AEs occurred in 8 (2.8%) and 51 (17.8%) patients, respectively. Acute and chronic grade 3+ GI baseline-adjusted AEs occurred in 3 (1%) and 4 (1.4%) patients, respectively. Acute and chronic grade 2+ GU-related AEs were observed in 72 (25.2%) and 63 (22%) patients, respectively. Acute and chronic grade 3+ GU toxicity was observed in 3 (1%) and 6 (2.1%) patients, respectively. CONCLUSION Spot-scanned proton radiation therapy provides high local control rates and excellent oncologic outcomes across different fractionation schedules with low long-term AE rates.

Abstract
PURPOSE Conflicting information from health care providers contributes to anxiety among cancer patients. The purpose of this study was to investigate discordant interpretations of follow-up imaging studies after lung stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) between radiologists and radiation oncologists. METHODS AND MATERIALS Patients treated with SBRT for stage I non-small cell lung cancer from 2007 to 2018 at Duke University Medical Center were included. Radiology interpretations of follow-up computed tomography (CT) chest or positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scans and the corresponding radiation oncology interpretations in follow-up notes from the medical record were assessed. Based on language used, interpretations were scored as concerning for progression (Progression), neutral differential listed (Neutral Differential), or favor stability/postradiation changes (Stable). Neutral Differential required that malignancy was specifically listed as a possibility in the differential. Encounters were categorized as discordant when either radiology or radiation oncology interpreted the surveillance imaging as Progression when the other interpreted the imaging study as Stable or Neutral Differential. The incidence of discordant interpretations was the primary endpoint of the study. RESULTS From 2007 to 2018, 139 patients were treated with SBRT and had available follow-up CT or PET-CT imaging for the analysis. Median follow-up was 61 months and the median number of follow-up encounters per patient was 3. Of 534 encounters evaluated, 25 (4.7%) had overtly discordant interpretations of imaging studies. This most commonly arose when radiology felt the imaging study showed Progression but radiation oncology favored Stable or Neutral Differential (24/25, 96%). No patient or treatment variables were found to be significantly associated with discordant interpretations on univariate analysis including type of scan (CT 22/489, 4.5%; PET-CT 3/45, 7%; P = .46). CONCLUSIONS Surveillance imaging after lung SBRT is often interpreted differently by radiologists and radiation oncologists, but overt discordance was relatively low at our institution. Providers should be aware of differences in interpretation patterns that may contribute to increased patient distress.

Abstract
Purpose Atypical (World Health Organization [WHO] grade 2) and malignant (WHO grade 3) meningiomas have high rates of local recurrence, and questions remain about the role of adjuvant radiation therapy (RT) for patients with WHO grade 2 disease. These patients frequently require salvage therapy, and optimal management is uncertain given limited prospective data. We report on the long-term outcomes for patients with atypical and malignant meningiomas treated with surgery and/or RT at our institution. Methods and Materials Data were collected through a retrospective chart review for all patients with WHO grade 2 or 3 meningiomas treated with surgery and/or RT at our institution between January 1992 and March 2017. Progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) were described using the KaplanMeier estimator. The outcomes in the subgroups were compared with a log-rank test. A Cox proportional hazards model was used for the univariable and multivariable analyses of predictors of PFS. Results A total of 66 patients were included in this analysis. The median follow-up was 12.4 years overall and 8.6 years among surviving patients. Fifty-two patients (78.8%) had WHO grade 2 meningiomas, and 14 patients (21.2%) had WHO grade 3 disease. Thirty-six patients (54.5%) were treated with surgery alone, 28 patients (42.4%) with surgery and adjuvant RT, and 2 patients (3%) with RT alone. Median PFS and OS were 3.2 years and 8.8 years, respectively. PFS was significantly improved with adjuvant RT compared with surgery alone (hazard ratio, 0.36; 95% confidence interval, 0.18-0.70). Patients with Ki-67 index >10% showed a trend toward worse PFS compared with patients with Ki-67 ≤10% (hazard ratio, 0.51; 95% confidence interval, 0.25-1.04). No significant differences in PFS or OS were observed with respect to Simpson or WHO grade. Conclusions For patients with atypical or malignant meningiomas, adjuvant RT was associated with significantly improved PFS, and Ki-67 index >10% was associated with a trend toward worse PFS. Given the long-term survival, high recurrence rates, and efficacy of salvage therapy, patients with atypical and malignant meningiomas should be monitored systematically long after initial treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Breast cancer treatment is based on estrogen receptors (ERs), progesterone receptors (PRs), and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). At the time of metastasis, receptor status can be discordant from that at initial diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of discordance and its effect on survival and subsequent treatment in patients with breast cancer brain metastases (BCBM). METHODS A retrospective database of 316 patients who underwent craniotomy for BCBM between 2006 and 2017 was created. Discordance was considered present if the ER, PR, or HER2 status differed between the primary tumor and the BCBM. RESULTS The overall receptor discordance rate was 132/316 (42%), and the subtype discordance rate was 100/316 (32%). Hormone receptors (HR, either ER or PR) were gained in 40/160 (25%) patients with HR-negative primary tumors. HER2 was gained in 22/173 (13%) patients with HER2-negative primary tumors. Subsequent treatment was not adjusted for most patients who gained receptors-nonetheless, median survival (MS) improved but did not reach statistical significance (HR, 17-28 mo, P = 0.12; HER2, 15-19 mo, P = 0.39). MS for patients who lost receptors was worse (HR, 27-18 mo, P = 0.02; HER2, 30-18 mo, P = 0.08). CONCLUSIONS Receptor discordance between primary tumor and BCBM is common, adversely affects survival if receptors are lost, and represents a missed opportunity for use of effective treatments if receptors are gained. Receptor analysis of BCBM is indicated when clinically appropriate. Treatment should be adjusted accordingly. KEY POINTS 1. Receptor discordance alters subtype in 32% of BCBM patients.2. The frequency of receptor gain for HR and HER2 was 25% and 13%, respectively.3. If receptors are lost, survival suffers. If receptors are gained, consider targeted treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE Brain metastases are a common sequelae of breast cancer. Survival varies widely based on diagnosis-specific prognostic factors (PF). We previously published a prognostic index (Graded Prognostic Assessment [GPA]) for patients with breast cancer with brain metastases (BCBM), based on cohort A (1985-2007, n = 642), then updated it, reporting the effect of tumor subtype in cohort B (1993-2010, n = 400). The purpose of this study is to update the Breast GPA with a larger contemporary cohort (C) and compare treatment and survival across the 3 cohorts. METHODS AND MATERIALS A multi-institutional (19), multinational (3), retrospective database of 2473 patients with breast cancer with newly diagnosed brain metastases (BCBM) diagnosed from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2017, was created and compared with prior cohorts. Associations of PF and treatment with survival were analyzed. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates were compared with log-rank tests. PF were weighted and the Breast GPA was updated such that a GPA of 0 and 4.0 correlate with the worst and best prognoses, respectively. RESULTS Median survival (MS) for cohorts A, B, and C improved over time (from 11, to 14 to 16 months, respectively; P < .01), despite the subtype distribution becoming less favorable. PF significant for survival were tumor subtype, Karnofsky Performance Status, age, number of BCBMs, and extracranial metastases (all P < .01). MS for GPA 0 to 1.0, 1.5-2.0, 2.5-3.0, and 3.5-4.0 was 6, 13, 24, and 36 months, respectively. Between cohorts B and C, the proportion of human epidermal receptor 2 + subtype decreased from 31% to 18% (P < .01) and MS in this subtype increased from 18 to 25 months (P < .01). CONCLUSIONS MS has improved modestly but varies widely by diagnosis-specific PF. New PF are identified and incorporated into an updated Breast GPA (free online calculator available at brainmetgpa.com). The Breast GPA facilitates clinical decision-making and will be useful for stratification of future clinical trials. Furthermore, these data suggest human epidermal receptor 2-targeted therapies improve clinical outcomes in some patients with BCBM.

Abstract
Long-term survival for melanoma patients with multiple brain metastases is rare. A review of the literature reveals only three reported melanoma patients with multiple brain metastases who survived more than 10 years. We present a patient who is recurrence-free 11 years after the diagnosis of three brain metastases. Her treatment consisted of cytokine (interferon and interleukin-2) and chemotherapy nine months prior to developing brain and soft tissue metastases, which were treated with stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic ablative radiotherapy, respectively, followed by six months of chemotherapy. Notably, she has not received any treatment for over 10 years, never underwent craniotomy or whole brain radiation therapy, currently has a perfect score on the functional assessment of cancer therapy for brain (FACT-Br) quality of life (QoL) scale, and runs marathons. This treatment course is consistent with emerging literature on the abscopal effect (radiation-induced immune response). Clinical trials are needed to better understand and harness the abscopal effect in order to optimally integrate targeted drug and radiation therapies.

Abstract
Importance Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related mortality in the United States and worldwide. As systemic therapies improve, patients with lung cancer live longer and thus are at increased risk for brain metastases. Understanding how prognosis varies across this heterogeneous patient population is essential to individualize care and design future clinical trials. Objective To update the current Diagnosis-Specific Graded Prognostic Assessment (DS-GPA) for patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and brain metastases. The DS-GPA is based on data from patients diagnosed between 1985 and 2005, and we set out to update it by incorporating more recently reported gene and molecular alteration data for patients with NSCLC and brain metastases. This new index is called the Lung-molGPA. Design, Setting, and Participants This is a multi-institutional retrospective database analysis of 2186 patients diagnosed between 2006 and 2014 with NSCLC and newly diagnosed brain metastases. The multivariable analyses took place between December 2015 and May 2016, and all prognostic factors were weighted for significance by hazard ratios. Significant factors were included in the updated Lung-molGPA prognostic index. Main Outcomes and Measures The main outcome was survival. Multiple Cox regression was used to select and weight prognostic factors in proportion to their hazard ratios. Log rank tests were used to compare adjacent classes and to compare overall survival for adenocarcinoma vs nonadenocarcinoma groups. Results The original DS-GPA was based on 4 factors found in 1833 patients with NSCLC and brain metastases diagnosed between 1985 and 2005: patient age, Karnofsky Performance Status, extracranial metastases, and number of brain metastases. The patients studied for the creation of the DS-GPA had a median survival of 7 months from the time of initial treatment of brain metastases. To design the updated Lung-molGPA, we analyzed data from 2186 patients from 2006 through 2014 with NSCLC and newly diagnosed brain metastases (1521 adenocarcinoma and 665 nonadenocarcinoma). Significant prognostic factors included the original 4 factors used in the DS-GPA index plus 2 new factors: EGFR and ALK alterations in patients with adenocarcinoma (mutation status was not routinely tested for nonadenocarcinoma). The overall median survival for the cohort in the present study was 12 months, and those with NSCLC-adenocarcinoma and Lung-molGPA scores of 3.5 to 4.0 had a median survival of nearly 4 years. Conclusions and Relevance In recent years, patient survival and physicians' ability to predict survival in NSCLC with brain metastases has improved significantly. The updated Lung-molGPA incorporating gene alteration data into the DS-GPA is a user-friendly tool that may facilitate clinical decision making and appropriate stratification of future clinical trials.

Abstract
PURPOSE Lung cancer remains the most common cause of both cancer mortality and brain metastases (BM). The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of gene alterations and tyrosine kinase inhibition (TKI) on median survival (MS) and cause of death (CoD) in patients with BM from lung adenocarcinoma (L-adeno). METHODS A multi-institutional retrospective database of patients with L-adeno and newly diagnosed BM between 2006 and 2014 was created. Demographics, gene alterations, treatment, MS, and CoD were analyzed. The treatment patterns and outcomes were compared with those in prior trials. RESULTS Of 1521 L-adeno patients, 816 (54%) had known alteration status. The gene alteration rates were 29%, 10%, and 26% for EGFR, ALK, and KRAS, respectively. The time from primary diagnosis to BM for EGFR-/+ was 10/15 months (P=.02) and for ALK-/+ was 10/20 months (P<.01), respectively. The MS for the group overall (n=1521) was 15 months. The MS from first treatment for BM for EGFR and ALK-, EGFR+, ALK+ were 14, 23 (P<.01), and 45 (P<.0001) months, respectively. The MS after BM for EGFR+ patients who did/did not receive TKI before BM was 17/30 months (P<.01), respectively, but the risk of death was not statistically different between TKI-naïve patients who did/did not receive TKI after the diagnosis of BM (EGFR/ALK hazard ratios: 1.06 [P=.84]/1.60 [P=.45], respectively). The CoD was nonneurologic in 82% of patients with known CoD. CONCLUSION EGFR and ALK gene alterations are associated with delayed onset of BM and longer MS relative to patients without these alterations. The CoD was overwhelmingly nonneurologic in patients with known CoD.
