In this retrospective multicentre experience, we report the data of a cohort of patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for oligometastatic mediastinal lymph-nodes. Inclusion criteria of the study were: written informed consent for the treatment, ECOG PS ≤ 2, diagnosis of oligometastatic mediastinal lymph-nodes up to 5 lesions being the mediastinum the only active site of disease, patients treated with radiotherapy schedules applying a minimum 6 Gy per fraction. Prior radiotherapy to the mediastinum was not considered as an exclusion criterion. A total of 63 lymph-node metastases in 49 patients with median age of 69.5 years (range 47-83 years) received SBRT between September 2020 and April 2024, for a median total dose of 30 Gy (range 21-50 Gy) in 5 fractions (range 3-5). With a median follow-up of 15 months, 1- and 2-year local control rates were 96.9% and 91.8%, while distant progression-free survival rates were 66.7% and 30.2%. Median time to new systemic therapy was 12 months, while 1- and 2-year polymetastatic-free survival (PMFS) and overall survival (OS) were respectively 78% and 64%, and 86.2% and 75.8%.

This prospective multicentre study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of ECT in the treatment of patients with skin metastases from breast cancer and confirm whether \"luminal A-like\" tumors are more responsive to treatment. One-hundred and ninety-five patients were included in the analysis. 55% achieved complete response, 27% partial response (objective response OR 82%); 12% stable disease and 5% experienced progressive disease. The analysis by tumor phenotype showed a significant better response rate in Luminal A-like (p = 0.0060) and Luminal B-like (p = 0.0271) groups compared to Triple-Negative. Patients were divided into 4 groups based on the number and size of cutaneous metastases.

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has emerged as a promising local treatment, offering durable tumor control with minimal toxicity. However, the optimal dosimetric strategies to maximize outcomes remain an area of active investigation. This retrospective study evaluated 76 patients with 101 liver metastases treated with SBRT between November 2012 and June 2024. Dosimetric parameters were analyzed, including prescribed dose (PD) and dose metrics for planning target volume (PTV) and gross tumor volume (GTV), with doses converted to equivalent doses in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2, α/β = 10). Tumor control probability (TCP) models and survival outcomes were assessed, with a focus on the prognostic impact of dosimetric and clinical factors. Median overall survival (OS) was 33 months, with 1-year and 3-year OS rates of 74.1% and 39.4%, respectively. Freedom from local progression (FFLP) was 82.5% at 12 months. PD emerged as the strongest independent predictor of local control, with an optimal threshold of 77.44 Gy EQD2 significantly improving 1-year FFLP rates (96.8% vs. 67.2%; p = 0.007). Advanced motion management techniques, including internal breath-hold (iBH) with image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), demonstrated superior local control outcomes. Predictive modeling confirmed PD as the most robust dosimetric metric, correlating with a high TCP and outperforming other dose metrics. Toxicity was minimal, with only 3.9% experiencing grade ≥ 3 adverse events. SBRT represents a highly effective and safe approach for liver metastases, with PD and advanced imaging emerging as pivotal determinants of tumor control.
