Abstract This study is to analyse the failure patterns and long-term survival after stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in patients with T1-3N0M0 inoperable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Early-stage NSCLC patitents who received SBRT at Zhejiang Cancer Hospital from January 2012 to September 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The primary endpoint were the patterns of disease progression, which were divided into local recurrence, regional failure, and distant metastasis. Kaplan-Meier method survival analysis was used to calculate overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS). Cox model was used for univariate analysis and multivariate analysis. A total of 215 patients with 224 lesions were enrolled. After the median follow-up time of 50.8 months (1.0-117.9 months), 76 (35.3%) patients progressed, with regional progression occurring in 4 cases (1.8%), local and local-regional progression in 17 cases (7.9%), various distant metastases developing in 55 cases (25.6%). The OS rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 97.1%, 80.9%, and 63.8%, respectively, with a median OS of 92.2 months (95%CI, 61.5-122.9 months). The PFS rates at 1, 3, and 5 years were 87.5%, 65.9%, and 50.8%, respectively, with a median PFS of 62.2 months (95% CI, 45.0-59.4 months). There was no significant difference in OS (P = 0.832) and PFS (P = 0.672) between the two groups with or without pathology. Multivariate analysis showed that BED and patient age were independent prognostic factors affecting early-stage lung cancer survival (all P |
