Background:
The aim of this retrospective, single-arm study was to present the technique and preliminary efficacy and safety results of a single-fraction SBRT for LAPC using total intravenous anaesthesia and optical surface guidance as motion management.
Methods:
Fifty-five patients with locally advanced pancreatic cancer were treated with SBRT with a single-fraction receiving a median BED10 = 128.9 Gy. Forty-two patients received systemic treatment. End points were OS, FFLP, PFS, and toxicity. Actuarial survival analysis and univariate analysis were investigated.
Results:
The median follow-up was 15 months, mean OS was 18 months (95% CI: 16.7 to 19.3), and the one-year FFLP and 1-year OS were 100% and 90.9% (95% CI: ± 1.5%), respectively. Median PFS was 12 months (95% CI: 9.5 to 14.4), and 1-year PFS was 85.5% (95% CI: ± 1.4%). Thirty-five patients (63.6%) were alive at the time of analysis. No acute/late toxicity > G2/G1 was reported.
Conclusions:
SBRT for LAPC using total intravenous anaesthesia and optical surface guidance presented as an effective and safe treatment with very low toxicity.
