Results of Kaplan Meier of propensity-matched patients showed long-term survival favored SBRT during the first several months, then separated after 1 year and significantly favored the surgical resection group by year 2 (5-year survival, 61.9% for surgery vs. However, unadjusted 5-year survival rates appeared higher among patients who underwent resection (75.8% vs. Researchers additionally found that compared with patients who underwent SBRT, those who underwent surgical resection experienced higher 30-day (0.3% vs. Results of logistic regression analysis showed an association between SBRT receipt and increasing age (OR = 1.09 95% CI, 1.09-1.1) and squamous histology (OR = 1.25 95% CI, 1.17-1.34). Researchers observed an increase in the proportion of patients who underwent SBRT, from 15.9% in 2012 to 26% in 2018 ( P <. surgery and for a subset of patients who underwent SBRT with documented refusal of recommended surgery. Researchers additionally compared perioperative mortality and 5-year survival among propensity-matched patients who received SBRT vs. those who underwent surgical resection (n = 24,729 80.7%) between 20. They pooled data from the National Cancer Database and compared outcomes of patients who underwent SBRT (n = 5,929 19.3%) vs. Patients with early-stage lung cancer are increasingly undergoing SBRT rather than surgical resection, according to researchers.īrooks Udelsman, MD, fellow in cardiothoracic surgery at Yale School of Medicine, and colleagues sought to evaluate trends in SBRT use and long-term survival outcomes among 30,658 patients with early-stage NSCLC. Unadjusted 5-year survival rates appeared higher among patients who underwent surgical resection vs. SBRT among those with a health-associated life expectancy that exceeded 2 years.

The findings, presented at American Association for Thoracic Surgery Annual Meeting, showed the greatest long-term survival advantage with surgery vs. Patients with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who underwent surgical resection had higher rates of long-term survival than those who received stereotactic body radiation therapy, according to study results.

SBRT represents a potential loss in life-years among this patient population.Long-term survival favored surgical resection for early-stage NSCLC.If you continue to have this issue please contact to Healio Key takeaways:
