Abstract

The objective of this study was to evaluate the response after 3 months of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in patients with stage I non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with peripheral lung tumor according to RECIST 1.1 and PERCIST 1.0. This is a prospective and follow-up study of 32 patients with stage I NSCLC (T1-T2aN0M0) with peripheral lung tumors, who received SBRT and evaluated after 3 months from January 2015 to March 2022. Response to treatment after 3 months was assessed according to RECIST 1.1 and PERCIST 1.0. The results showed a change in the percentage of T1a and T1b stages on chest CT by 25% and 31.3%, respectively, compared with the corresponding rates on PET/CT of 18.8% and 37.5%. The difference was statistical significance with p < 0.01. According to RECIST 1.1, there was no complete response, 41.4% partial response, 37.9% stable disease, 20.7% progressive disease, objective response rate 41.4% and disease control rate 79.3%. According to PERCIST 1.0, 1 patient had a complete response, the other rates were 65.5%, 24.1%, 6.9%, 68.9% and 93%, respectively; the difference was statistical significance with p = 0.021. Conclusion: Using the PERCIST 1.0 criteria changes the ratio of treatment response statistically significantly compared with the RECIST 1.1 criteria. Especially, 13.8% of patients continued to enjoy the benefits of SBRT evaluating according to PERCIST 1.0.
