Background To assess the safety and efficacy of Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) in oligometastatic patients from colorectal cancer. Methods 82 patients with 1- inoperable metastases confined to one organ (liver or lung), were treated with SABR for a total of 112 lesions in an observational study. Prescription dose ranged between 48 and 75Gy in 3 or 4 consecutive fractions. Primary end-points were local control (LC), overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS). Secondary end-point was toxicity. Results Median follow-up was 24?months (range 3-7). One, two and three years LC rate was 90%,80% and 75% (85%,75% and 70% for lung and 95%, 90% and 85% for liver metastases; no statistically significance was found). The difference in LC between the subgroup of lesions treated with ?0 Gy (n--8) and those irradiated with p--em class="a-plus-plus">0.04). Median OS was 32?months. Actuarial OS rate at 1, 2 and 3?yrs was 85%,65% and 43%. Univariate analysis showed a correlation only between OS and cumulative GTV--?cm (p--em class="a-plus-plus">0.02). Median PFS was 14?months, with a PFS rate of 56% at 1?yr and 40% at 2-3?yrs, without correlation with the site and prescription dose (p--em class="a-plus-plus">0.48 and p--em class="a-plus-plus">0.56). No patients experienced radiation-induced liver disease or grade >3 toxicity. Conclusions SABR is a safe and feasible alternative treatment of oligometastatic colorectal liver and lung metastases in patients not amenable to surgery or other ablative treatments.
