Local Control

Distant progression free survival

Overall Survival

Toxicity

Staehler 2011 [57]

98% at 15 months

N.S.

17.4 months (spinal lesions)

11.1 months (brain lesions)

2 pts.: asymptomatic

tumour haemorrhage after SRS (G2) 3 pts.: convulsions (G2)

Staehler 2012 [58]

NS (1 case of PD at first evaluation at 3 months, other patients remission or stable disease)

N.S.

65% at 2 years

No G3 during combination

Cochran 2012 [50]

74% at 1 year

40% at 3 years

(better for combined therapy:

1 year LC was 93.3 and 60% for patients treated with and

without targeted agents, respectively)

N.S.

38% at 1 year,

9% at 3 years

(median survival 16.6 months for pts. treated with target therapy)

6 pts.: brain edema or necrosis (3 of them received target therapy) 2 brain hemorrhage

Verma 2013 [51]

75.6% at 1 year in pts. treated with SRS

LC was statistically superior in lesions managed with surgery or SRS vs. the no local therapy.

No improvement of LC with TKIs added to local therapy (surgery, SRS)

N.S.

5.4 months (all pts)

4 pts.: radionecrosis

(2 of them in the TKI group and 2 in the non-TKI group)

Bastos 2015 [59]

N.S.

N.S.

12.2 months

5 pts. (8%): neurological

2 pts.: brain necrosis

3 pts.: brain hemorrhage

Miller 2016 [54]

Subgroup SRS + TKI: 94% at 1 year

N.S.

N.S.

No G3 in TKI + SRS pts.,

the incidence of post-SRS vertebral fracture (overall 21%) and pain flare (overall 17%) were similar across cohorts (TKI, SRS alone, TKI + SRS)

Franzese 2019 [55]

90.2% at 1 and 1.5 year

N.S.

100% at 1 year

83% at 5 years

No G3 acute or late toxicity
