Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: SBRT group A
escalate MLD in medically inoperable patients with tumors larger than 5 cm in diameter (primary or solitary metastases)
|
Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)
3-5 fractions within 10-14 days
Other Name: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy
|
Experimental: SBRT group B
Escalate the MLD in patients with ≥ 2 lung metastases
|
Radiation: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)
3-5 fractions per tumor within one treatment session or sequential within one month
Other Name: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy
|
- MLD [ Time Frame: 4 years ]The assessment of the maximum mean lung dose that can be safely treated with SBRT and that is associated with a 20% probability of the DLT.
- loco-regional control [ Time Frame: 4 years ]Determine the local control and regional control as a function of the mean lung dose, the largest toxicity effects as a function of the MLD and the overall survival.
- overall survival [ Time Frame: 5 years ]Determine the local control and regional control as a function of the mean lung dose, the largest toxicity effects as a function of the MLD and the overall survival.
- Quality of life assessment [ Time Frame: 2 years ]valuate the increase or decrease of physical discomfort.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Senior) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria for group A and B:
- Weight loss < 10% in the last three months.
- WHO-performance status ≤ 2
- Medical inoperable patients or patients refusing surgery.
- Chemotherapy is allowed in neoadjuvant and adjuvant setting, with exclusion of the period 4 weeks pre-SBRT and 6 weeks post-SBRT.
- Before patient registration, written informed consent must be given according to ICH/GCP, national and local regulations.
Risk group A specification:
- NSCLC (Cytological or histological proven) patients with peripheral tumors >5 cm with tumor staging cT2bN0M0 or cT3N0M0 (chest wall infiltration is no exclusion criteria, as long as the tumor diameter is > 5 cm).
- Single peripheral lung metastasis in inoperable patients with a diameter of > 5 cm. In case of first presentation of metastatic disease, cytological or histological proof is obligated.
- In patients without cytological or histological confirmation of NSCLC, a growing FDG-PET positive lesion (SUV >5) is accepted if a contra-indication for invasive diagnostic examination (or refusal) is present.
Risk group B specification:
- Patients with ≥ 2 simultaneous peripheral lung metastases ≤ 5 cm of any origin at any location in the lung.
- In case of first presentation of metastatic disease, cytological or histological proof is obligated. This is not necessary in case of a history of an already proven disseminated disease.
- Patients having ≥ 2 peripheral lung metastases without unacceptable dose overlap.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients with central tumors
- Pancoast tumors
- Prior radiotherapy treatment to the thorax
- Patients receiving any systemic treatment during SBRT
- Pregnant patients
- Patients previously treated with adriamycin agents in case of heart involvement within the treatment field.
