Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to assess and compare the efficacy of microwave ablation (MWA) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the treatment of lung metastases from patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and to identify the preferable treatment modality based on patient and tumor characteristics. Records of 118 patients with CRC with a total of 307 lung metastases who underwent SBRT or MWA between January 2015 and December 2022 were retrospectively analyzed, including the essential clinicopathological information on patients (age, sex and underlying diseases), diagnosis and treatment information [primary tumor site, levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and carbohydrate antigen 19‑9], imaging data [diameter of lung metastasis, location of the metastasis (i.e., whether or not the tumor was adjacent to the vessel or bronchus) and internal features] and follow‑up data (postoperative therapy, complications or adverse effects and survival outcomes). For statistical analysis of the local tumor progression (LTP), disease‑free survival and overall survival (OS) rates, Cox regression analysis, along with the Kaplan‑Meier method adjusted using inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW), were performed. The median follow‑up duration in the present study was 31.5 months. Multivariable Cox regression analysis revealed that the CEA level, metastasis diameter and internal features were independent predictors of OS. In the IPTW‑adjusted analysis, no significant difference in the 1‑year OS rate was observed between the SBRT and MWA groups (92.9 vs. 93.9%; P=0.483); however, a notable discrepancy in the treatment modalities was noted, leading to significant differences in the 2‑ and 3‑year OS rates (65.9 vs. 57.6%, P=0.001, and 44.7 vs. 36.4%, P<0.001, respectively). A significant interaction effect for the treatment modality was observed for LTP (P=0.021). In conclusion, the present study revealed that SBRT and MWA have similar therapeutic effects in terms of prolonging the survival of patients with CRC with lung metastases; however, regarding the local control of lung metastases, MWA is associated with a number of significant advantages.
