OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate local control (LC) of tumors, patient overall survival (OS), and the safety of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for esophageal cancer brain metastases (EBMs). METHODS: This retrospective cohort study used data from 15 International Radiosurgery Research Foundation facilities encompassing 67 patients with 185 EBMs managed using SRS between January 2000 and May 2022. The median patient age was 63 years, with a male predominance (92.5%). Most patients (64.2%) had a single brain metastasis, while 7.5% had more than 5 metastases. The median tumor volume was 0.9 cm3, and the median margin dose delivered to the tumor was 20 Gy. RESULTS: The median OS post-SRS was 15.2 months, with 1- and 2-year OS rates of 65.7% and 32.3%, respectively. A significant inverse correlation was found between the number of EBMs and OS in the univariable analysis. LC rates at 1 and 2 years were 89% and 76%, respectively. Adverse radiation effects (AREs) were observed in 17.9% of patients, with 13.4% being mild and transient and 4.5% severely symptomatic (Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3). New intracranial disease developed in 58.2% of patients, with 1- and 2-year rates of 58% and 73%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: SRS for EBMs demonstrated high survival rates and effective tumor control, with a low incidence of severe AREs. These findings highlight the potential role of SRS in the multidisciplinary multimodality management paradigm of EBM.

BACKGROUND: There is a paucity of data on treatment outcomes following stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for brain metastases from sarcoma primaries. METHODS: The International Radiosurgery Research Foundation member-sites were queried for patients with brain metastases from sarcoma primaries treated with SRS. Overall survival (OS) and local control (LC) were calculated via Kaplan-Meier analysis. Univariate analyses examined prognostic factors associated with LC and OS via log-rank t-tests and multivariate analyses (MVA) via Cox proportional hazards model. RESULTS: A total of 146 patients with 309 brain metastases were identified. Two-hundred and thirty lesions were treated with single-fraction SRS with a median dose of 20 Gy (15-24 Gy). Ninety-five patients had extracranial metastases, including 75 oligometastatic patients. One- and 2-year OS and LC rates were 47.7% and 37.3%, and 78.3% and 62.2%, respectively. On univariate analyses, superior 1-year OS was noted among leiomyosarcomas (69.7% vs. 42.6%; p = .02) with poorer outcomes among pleomorphic histologies (10.5% vs. 50.7%; p = .002). Pleomorphic histologies were associated with poorer OS on MVA (hazard ratio [HR], 3.13; p = .006). On MVA, LC was inferior among patients of age ≥45 years (HR, 3.78; p < .001) and superior among leiomyosarcomas (HR, 0.31; p = .03). OS was prognosticated based on adverse factors (ie, nonleiomyosarcoma histology and progressive extracranial metastases). Two-year OS for patients with and without adverse features were 78.6% and 31.5%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: LC outcomes were driven by histology and age with superior LC among leiomyosarcomas and patients of age <45 years. OS was driven by nonleiomyosarcoma histology and the presence of progressive extracranial disease.

OBJECTIVE: The goal of this study was to characterize local tumor control (LC), overall survival (OS), and safety of stereotactic radiosurgery for colorectal brain metastasis (CRBM). METHODS: Ten international institutions participating in the International Radiosurgery Research Foundation provided data for this retrospective case series. This study included 187 patients with CRBM (281 tumors), with a median age of 62 years and 56.7% being male. Most patients (53.5%) had solitary tumors, although 10.7% had > 5 tumors. The median tumor volume was 2.7 cm3 (IQR 0.22-8.1 cm3), and the median margin dose was 20 Gy (IQR 18-22 Gy). RESULTS: The 3-year LC and OS rates were 72% and 20%, respectively. Symptomatic adverse radiation effects occurred in 1.6% of patients. In the multivariate analysis, age > 65 years and tumor volume > 4.0 cm3 were significant predictors of tumor progression (hazard ratio [HR] 2.6, 95% CI 1.4-4.9; p = 0.003 and HR 3.4, 95% CI 1.7-6.9; p < 0.001, respectively). Better performance status (Karnofsky Performance Scale score > 80) was associated with a reduced risk of tumor progression (HR 0.38, 95% CI 0.19-0.73; p = 0.004). Patient age > 62 years (HR 1.6, 95% CI 1.1-2.3; p = 0.03) and the presence of active extracranial disease (HR 1.7, 95% CI 1.1-2.4; p = 0.009) were significantly associated with worse OS. CONCLUSIONS: Stereotactic radiosurgery offers a high LC rate and a low rate of symptomatic adverse radiation effects for the majority of CRBMs. The OS and LC favored younger patients with high functional performance scores and inactive extracranial disease.

BACKGROUND: There are limited data regarding outcomes for patients with gastrointestinal (GI) primaries and brain metastases treated with stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). OBJECTIVE: To examine clinical outcomes after SRS for patients with brain metastases from GI primaries and evaluate potential prognostic factors. METHODS: The International Radiosurgery Research Foundation centers were queried for patients with brain metastases from GI primaries managed with SRS. Primary outcomes were local control (LC) and overall survival (OS). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used for univariate analysis (UVA) of prognostic factors. Factors significant on UVA were evaluated with a Cox multivariate analysis proportional hazards model. Logistic regressions were used to examine correlations with RN. RESULTS: We identified 263 eligible patients with 543 brain metastases. Common primary sites were rectal (31.2%), colon (31.2%), and esophagus (25.5%) with a median age of 61.6 years (range: 37-91.4 years) and a median Karnofsky performance status (KPS) of 90% (range: 40%-100%). One-year and 2-year LC rates were 83.5% (95% CI: 78.9%-87.1%) and 73.0% (95% CI: 66.4%-78.5%), respectively. On UVA, age >65 years ( P = .001), dose <20 Gy ( P = .006) for single-fraction plans, KPS <90% ( P < .001), and planning target volume ≥2cc ( P = .007) were associated with inferior LC. All factors other than dose were significant on multivariate analysis ( P ≤ .002). One-year and 2-year OS rates were 68.0% (95% CI: 61.5%-73.6%) and 31.2% (95% CI: 24.6%-37.9%), respectively. Age > 65 years ( P = .006), KPS <90% ( P = .005), and extracranial metastases ( P = .05) were associated with inferior OS. CONCLUSION: SRS resulted in comparable LC with common primaries. Age and KPS were associated with both LC and OS with planning target volume and extracranial metastases correlating with LC and OS, respectively. These factors should be considered in GI cancer patient selection for SRS.
