Recurrence Patterns and Second Primary Lung Cancers After Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Early-Stage Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer: Implications for Surveillance
Micro-Abstract The optimal surveillance regimen remains unclear for patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for early-stage non–small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). We assessed 366 patients with early-stage NSCLC treated with SBRT. In patients with progression after SBRT, 84% of c...

Summary: | Micro-Abstract The optimal surveillance regimen remains unclear for patients treated with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for early-stage non–small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). We assessed 366 patients with early-stage NSCLC treated with SBRT. In patients with progression after SBRT, 84% of cases occurred within the first 2 years. In patients who experienced second primary lung cancers, 33% of cases occurred after 2 years. Close monitoring beyond 2 years may be necessary in patients treated with SBRT. |
