METHODS: A systematic search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, and Embase till June 5th 2023. Screening and data extraction were performed by two independent authors. Random-effect meta-analysis was performed to determine the tumor control proportion of IVM cases treated with SRS. Individual patient data (IPD) meta-analysis was performed for the progression-free survival (PFS) of the patients in the follow-up time. All analyses were performed using the R programming language.
RESULTS: Out of the overall 132 records, 14 were included in our study, of which only 7 had enough data for the meta-analysis. The tumor control proportion was 0.92 (95% CI, 0.69-0.98) in patients who underwent SRS for primary IVM. The overall tumor control in both primary and adjuvant cases was 0.87 (95% CI, 0.34-0.99). the heterogeneity was not significant in both meta-analyses (P = 0.73 and P = 0.92, respectively). Post-SRS perifocal edema occurred in 16 out of 71 cases (0.16; 95% CI, 0.03-0.56), with no significant heterogeneity (P = 0.32). IPD meta-analysis showed a PFS of 94.70% in a 2-year follow-up. Log-rank test showed better PFS in primary SRS compared to adjuvant SRS (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONS: According to this study, patients with IVM can achieve high rates of tumor control with a low risk of complications when treated with SRS, regardless of whether they have received prior treatment. Although SRS could be a promising first-line treatment option for asymptomatic IVM, its efficacy in symptomatic patients and its comparison with resection require further investigation.
方法:在Scopus进行了系统搜索,WebofScience,PubMed,和Embase直到2023年6月5日。筛选和数据提取由两名独立作者进行。进行随机效应荟萃分析以确定接受SRS治疗的IVM病例的肿瘤控制比例。对随访时间内患者的无进展生存期(PFS)进行个体患者数据(IPD)Meta分析。所有分析均使用R编程语言进行。
结果:在总共132条记录中,14个被纳入我们的研究,其中只有7人有足够的数据进行荟萃分析。在因原发性IVM而接受SRS的患者中,肿瘤控制比例为0.92(95%CI,0.69-0.98)。原发和辅助病例的总体肿瘤控制为0.87(95%CI,0.34-0.99)。两种meta分析的异质性均不显著(分别为P=0.73和P=0.92).71例中有16例发生SRS后病灶周围水肿(0.16;95%CI,0.03-0.56),无显著异质性(P=0.32)。IPD荟萃分析显示,2年随访的PFS为94.70%。与辅助SRS相比,Log-rank检验显示主要SRS的PFS更好(P<0.01)。
结论:根据这项研究,使用SRS治疗时,IVM患者可以实现较高的肿瘤控制率和较低的并发症风险,不管他们以前是否接受过治疗。尽管SRS可能是无症状IVM的有希望的一线治疗选择,其在有症状患者中的疗效及其与切除术的比较需要进一步研究.
