rates of OS and DMFS were similar with 45 Gy and <45 Gy but 2-and 5-year EFS rates were significantly higher with 45 Gy (82% and 66% vs. 76% and 50% with <45 Gy, p Z 0.006). The rates of OS, DMFS, and EFS were significantly lower in patients with a tumor diameter 8 mm. In patients with a tumor depth 8 mm, the rates of DMFS and EFS were significantly lower. In patients with a tumor volume <600 mm 3 , the rates of OS, DMFS, and EFS were significantly higher. Among patients that received 45 Gy, the ones with a tumor volume <600 cm 3 had significantly higher rates of DMFS and EFS but OS was similar. In multivariate analysis, no prognostic factors were found for DMFS. However, for OS and EFS >8 mm basal tumor diameter (relative risk [RR] Z 1.6, 95% confidence interval [CI] Z 1.92-3.12, p Z 0.09; and RR Z 1.8, 95% CI Z 1.15-2.81, p Z 0.01), for EFS >8 mm depth (RR Z 1.6, 95% CI Z 1.03-2.4, p Z 0.03), and 45 Gy dose (RR Z 1.4, 95% CI Z 0.9-2.08, p Z 0.06) were negative prognostic factors. SRS/FSRT-related late toxicity was significantly higher in patients with a basal tumor diameter >8 mm and depth >8 mm (p Z 0.001 and p Z 0.04, respectively). Conclusion: Total SRS/FSRT dose and tumor diameter and depth were found prognostic factors for EFS. Toxicity rate was higher in patients with a higher tumor depth and basal diameter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
