When these cancers metastasize after primary surgical, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy, conventional treatment options often are associated with morbidity. These women therefore have an unmet therapeutic need. As many as 40% of women with gynecologic cancer have disease relapse occurring in previously irradiated tissues or occurring near chemotherapy-taxed bone marrow (Kunos et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">2012a</xref>). Because of prior surgical, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment, it is often difficult to use radiotherapy without functional hazard to normal organs. Extracranial stereotactic body radiosurgery (SBRT) permits a non-invasive therapeutic option for women with gynecologic cancer disease relapse.</p><p>Stereotactic body radiosurgery offers advantages, when compared to other radiation therapy platforms, both in its accounting of target motion and in its eloquent dosimetry. Indeed, SBRT capitalizes upon on-board image guidance of “pencil beam-sized” portals delivering hypofractionated radiation (Kunos et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">2008</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">2009</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B10">2011</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">2012a</xref>; Choi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2009</xref>; Deodato et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">2011</xref>; Higginson et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">2011</xref>). Except for recognized normal organ tolerances to ablative radiation dose, (Timmerman, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">2008</xref>) patient eligibility guidelines for SBRT remain controversial in the management of gynecologic cancers. As one example of a SBRT platform, the Cyberknife<sup>®</sup> system [Accuray (Sunnyvale, CA, USA)] utilizes a linear accelerator mounted to an industrial robotic arm to direct radiation dose, without the use of a rigid frame, precisely at cancer targets while tracking cancer-target motion during the treatment, ultimately achieving submillimeter accuracy (Wilcox and Daskalov, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B18">2007</xref>).</p><p>This phase II clinical trial was designed to evaluate whether ablative radiation could control metastatic gynecologic cancer with acceptable toxicity levels. Institutional experiences of SBRT alone in patients with gynecologic cancers have shown SBRT to have modest toxicity, (Kunos et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">2008</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">2009</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">2012a</xref>; Choi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2009</xref>; Deodato et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">2011</xref>; Higginson et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">2011</xref>) with radiation dose and number of radiosurgical fractions important determinants of side effects (Timmerman, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B17">2008</xref>). As such, we investigated the safety and efficacy of ablative robotic SBRT in this first-reported clinical trial conducted in women with metastatic gynecologic cancers.</p></sec><sec sec-type="methods"><title>Methods</title><sec><title>Study design and patients</title><p>For this clinical trial, patients were included if they were women 18 years of age or older. Patients had an Eastern Cooperative Group performance status of 0, 1, 2, or 3. Patients must have had a single metastasis or metastases (≤4) of a pathologically confirmed gynecologic cancer whose dimensions could be measured by RECIST criteria (version 1.0; Nishino et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B16">2010</xref>). In this trial, there was no constraint for the total planned radiosurgical target volume. Patients may not have had cryosurgery or radiofrequency ablation in the planned radiosurgical target (as these forms of treatment would obscure SBRT response measurements). Patients must have had adequate pretherapy hematological and renal function. There were no pretherapy limits for the number of prior chemotherapy cycles or radiation dosage. Patients must have stopped anticancer therapies for 4 weeks before SBRT.</p><p>Fifty women met these criteria between July 2009, and September 2011. Their demographics, gynecologic cancer type, number of SBRT target metastases, and prior chemotherapies or radiation are cataloged in Table <xref ref-type="table" rid="T1">1</xref>.

Based on these images, we targeted their entire known disease burden as a clinical target volume (CTV) because it included delineated gross tumor volume (GTV) and <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET signal outside the GTV. A 3.0 mm margin was added to the CTV for a planning tumor volume (PTV). Normal tissue contours were applied.

Fixed tungsten circular collimators (5–60 mm) or a tungsten-copper alloy iris aperture collimated a 6 MV radiation beam.

Local disease relapse was defined as disease progression of the SBRT target(s). Non-radiosurgical target (i.e., disease not targeted by SBRT on this clinical trial, but amenable to subsequent treatment including SBRT) distant disease relapse was scored as disease progression. Time at-risk for disease progression or death was measured from the first date of SBRT. Univariate product-limit estimates [95% confidence interval (C.I.)] for progression-free (i.e., disease relapse and death) and overall survival were calculated utilizing the method of Kaplan and Meier (SPSS 18.0, Chicago, IL, USA; Kaplan and Meier, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B8">1958</xref>).

No local disease relapses were recorded in SBRT targets. However, non-radiosurgical target distant disease relapse occurred in 31 patients (62%). In these 31 patients, the most frequent new distant sites of disease were the lungs [12 (39%)], abdomen, or pelvis [12 (39%)], liver [4 (13%)], bone [2 (6%)], and inguinal lymph nodes [1 (3%)]. The medial interval to distant disease relapse calculated from the first date of SBRT was 5 months (range, 1–16 months). As such, and excluding the one patient with lumbar vertebral disease, the best overall response rate by RECIST was 61% (30 of 49 patients). The rate of clinical benefit (i.e., 6-month CR + PR + SD without PD) was 68% (34 of 50 patients, 95% CI, 53%, 80%).</p><p>As of this writing, 24 patients (48%) have died. Eighty-three percent of deaths (20 of 24) were attributable to non-radiosurgical metastatic gynecologic cancer disease progression. The median progression-free survival was 7.8 months (95% CI, 4.0, 11.6). The median overall survival was 20.2 months (95% CI, 10.9, 29.5).</p><p>A total of 4 of 50 patients (8%) received adjuvant chemotherapy before second confirmatory assessment of their disease status. Patients given chemotherapy received a median of four cycles of carboplatin-containing chemotherapy regimen. The combination of SBRT and chemotherapy led to a progression-free survival of 8.1 months (95% CI, 3.4, 12.8). A statistical comparison of an SBRT treatment alone and SBRT plus chemotherapy treatment was not done due to small sample size in the latter cohort.</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="discussion"><title>Discussion</title><p>This phase II clinical trial showed that SBRT effectively controls metastatic disease at a high rate with minimal toxicity in patients with metastatic gynecologic cancers.</p><p>Contrary to the typical phase II efficacy end point of overall rate of response, we chose the rate of clinical benefit as the primary end point. Clinical benefit (i.e., number of CR + PR + SD responses for ≥6 months, without new elsewhere PD) was chosen on the presumption that radiosurgery can only exert measurable cytotoxic effects on targeted disease. Radiosurgery cannot be held accountable to control disease undetected by CT and <sup>18</sup>F-FDG PET imaging. For this reason, objective responses (complete or partial) or disease stabilization were regarded clinically meaningful in assessing the antitumor activity of SBRT. Progression of disease elsewhere in the body shortly after SBRT might signal (1) progression of already-present occult disease, or (2) inability of SBRT to control targeted disease prior to disease dissemination.</p><p>Stereotactic body radiosurgery has demonstrated activity against gynecologic cancer at various ablative doses and schedules (Kunos et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">2008</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">2009</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">2012a</xref>; Choi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2009</xref>; Deodato et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">2011</xref>; Higginson et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">2011</xref>). In our study, 24 Gy divided into three consecutive 8 Gy daily fractions were given to take radiobiological advantage of relative radiosensitivity of gynecologic malignancies. The SBRT target rate of response (96%) is in accord with rates described in previous studies of SBRT for metastatic gynecologic cancer (range, 67–79%; Kunos et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">2008</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">2009</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">2012a</xref>; Choi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2009</xref>; Deodato et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">2011</xref>; Higginson et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">2011</xref>).</p><p>Our observation that 62% of patients eventually develop distant disease progression after undergoing SBRT attests to the need of concurrent chemotherapy co-administration. Too few patients received chemotherapy in close proximity to dose of SBRT to comment on the safe co-administration of cytotoxic chemotherapies. However, we do suggest cautiously that SBRT may contribute to a lengthened progression-free survival. In some previously reported studies, patients with metastatic ovarian, uterine, uterine cervix, and vulvar cancers have a median progression-free survival of 3 months (range, 2–4 months) and overall survival of 9 months (range, 6–15 months; Long et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B14">2005</xref>; Dizon et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B5">2009</xref>; Witteveen et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B19">2009</xref>; De Geest et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B3">2010</xref>). In our very heterogeneous patient population undergoing a variety of pretreatment radiation and chemotherapy regimens, we observed a progression-free survival of 7.8 months and overall survival of 20.2 months. We do not presume that SBRT was the only contributor to these cancer-related outcomes, but such data might signal a possible therapeutic gain of sterilizing as much known disease as possible at the time of SBRT. Information on the durability of SBRT response would strengthen this claim. As of this writing, such data is not sufficiently mature. A phase I clinical trial testing SBRT and carboplatin – gemcitabine combination that incorporates such information is underway by our research team.</p><p>Stereotactic body radiosurgery was well tolerated in this study despite a heavily pretreated group of patients. Any grade hematological (8%) and grade 3 or 4 gastrointestinal (12%) toxicities observed in our study compare favorably to hematological (19% neutropenia, 9% anemia) and gastrointestinal (11%) of intensity-modulated radiation therapy in the abdomen and pelvis (Brixey et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B1">2002</xref>; Mundt et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B15">2003</xref>).</p><p>Strengths of our study include a contemporary study population drawn among women with common metastatic gynecologic cancers. SBRT was performed by a specialized radiation therapy team led by experienced radiation oncologist and gynecologic oncologists. Weaknesses include insufficient stratification for gynecologic cancer type, which hampers our appraisal of clinical benefit and progression-free survival. Moreover, the study did not control for prior therapies and considerable variability is identified in the study population. The study also could be strengthened by longer-term follow-up for the sequelae of treatment, durability of SBRT target response, and cancer-related outcome.</p><p>Our results indicate that SBRT safely delivers effective ablative radiation dose to metastatic sites of gynecologic cancer. The therapy can be administered with minimal toxicity even in a group of heavily pretreated patients. While highly effective at treating targeted lesions, many of these patients develop progressive disease. An improved understanding of the safety and efficacy of SBRT in conjunction with cytotoxic chemotherapy is of interest and is currently under investigation.</p><sec><title>Panel: Research in context</title><sec><title>Systematic review</title><p>Our manuscript reports the first phase II clinical trial of robotic SBRT conducted in women with metastatic gynecological cancers. We searched PubMed with the terms “radiosurgery,” “gynecologic cancer,” and “clinical trial” for publications between January 1, 1999, and June 1, 2012. We broadened our publication search to include radiosurgery conducted for the treatment of gynecologic tumors. Single institution cohort studies of radiosurgery for gynecological cancers were culled to put this research in context (Kunos et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B13">2008</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B9">2009</xref>, <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B11">2012a</xref>; Choi et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B2">2009</xref>; Deodato et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B4">2011</xref>; Higginson et al., <xref ref-type="bibr" rid="B7">2011</xref>). The radiation dose delivery and schedule vary considerably among these single institution cohort studies, obscuring the totality of evidence for gynecologic cancer disease control.</p></sec><sec><title>Interpretation</title><p>Our first-ever phase II clinical trial establishes clinical benefit of a standardized (8 Gy × 3 consecutive day) robotic SBRT treatment among 50 women with metastatic gynecological cancers.
