Background: With the increase of the utilization of SRS for the treatment of oligometastatic BM over surgical reaction or whole brain radiation therapy (WBRT), we sought to evaluate the impact of SRS on overall survival in HR+Her2- BC and prognostic factors associated with SRS. Methods: We reviewed prospectively collected data in the electronic data bases of the breast medical, surgical and radiation oncology departments at MD Anderson cancer center. We aimed at identifying HR+HER2- BC patients who received upfront SRS for BM’s between 08/10/2009 and 02/27/2018.Overall survival was defined as the time from the first SRS to last follow-up/death. Multivariate analysis by the Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was performed to evaluate the prognostic factors (age at BM, stage, Karnofsky performance score (KPS), symptomatic BM, BM at 1stdistant metastatic presentation, extracranial Disease, treatment history, salvage therapy, number of brain lesion treated) of SRS that influenced survival. Results: A total of 125 patients were identified, and we are reporting on 68 with completed analysis. Median age at time of first SRS was 53.86 years. 51 patients of the 68 were deceased at the time of this analysis and 17 patients were alive at the time of last follow-up. 49 patients (72.06 %) presented with radiation necrosis after SRS; 36 patients (52.94 %) presented with BM as 1st distant metastasis including metastasis to other sites. Number of BM’s lesions <4 was 60 (88.2%) and >=4 was 7 (10.3%). The median follow-up from time of first SRS for survivors was 10.84 months. 24 (35.29%) received two or more sessions of SRS and the mean time between first and second SRS sessions for these patients was 14.24 months. Median time from first SRS to second SRS for ER+HER2− patients was 10.84 months (n = 24); on multivariable analysis, higher Karnofsky performance score (KPS) was associated with better survival compared to no salvage therapy. Patients with KPS>90 (p=0.005) had better survival and reduced the hazard by a factor of 0.33 (or 67%). Receiving SRS (p=0.0003) or SRS+WBRT (0.0001) as salvage therapy reduced the hazard (risk of death) by 86% and 85%, respectively. Conclusions: SRS is an effective treatment modality for HR+HER2- BM from BC. Patients who received SRS or SRS and WBRT, KPS >90 had better survival than patients who didn’t receive any salvage therapy. Updated data will be available at the time of the presentation.
