Clinical efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for adrenal gland metastases: A multi-center retrospective study from China.

ABSTRACT: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of CyberKnife Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in the treatment of adrenal gland metastases (AGM), we designed a large-scale multicenter retrospective study to report the safety and efficacy of SBRT for inoperable AGM. In this study, 75 (61 males, 14 females) patients with 84 AGM and Karnofsky performance score ≥70 were treated by SBRT from October 2006 to January 2017. Of these, the purpose of treatment were controlling all known metastatic sites for 21 patients while 54 for palliation of bulky adrenal metastases. The efficacy and safety of SBRT were evaluated during follow-up. Potential factors predictive of local control (LC) and overall survival (OS) were identified by univariate and multivariate analysis. Median follow-up time was 12.7 mon
