BACKGROUND: The Study Group for the Biology and Treatment of the OligoMetastatic Disease on behalf of the Italian Association of Radiotherapy and Clinical Oncology (AIRO) has conducted a national survey with the aim to depict the current patterns of practice of stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) for spinal oligometastases.
METHODS: The Surveymonkey platform was used to send a 28-items questionnaire focused on demographic, clinical and technical aspects related to SBRT for spinal oligometastases. All the AIRO members were invited to fill the questionnaire. Data were then centralized to a single center for analysis and interpretation.
RESULTS: 53 radiation oncologists from 47 centers fulfilled the survey. A complete agreement was observed in proposing SBRT for spinal oligometastases, with the majority considering up to 3 concurrent spine oligometastases feasible for SBRT (73.5%), regardless of spine site (70%), vertebral segment (85%) and morphological features of the lesion (71.7%). Regarding dose prescription, fractionated regimens resulted as the preferred option, either in 3 (58.4%) or five sessions (34%), with a substantial agreement in applying a PTV-margin larger than 1 mm (almost 90% of participants), and ideally using both MRI and PET imaging to improve target volume and organs-at-risk delineation (67.9%).
CONCLUSIONS: This national italian survey illustrates the patterns of practice and the main issues for the indication of SBRT for spinal oligometastases. A substantial agreement in the numerical cut-off and vertebral segment involved for SBRT indication was reported, with a slight heterogeneity in terms of dose prescription and fractionation schemes.
