RESUMO

PURPOSE: Three-dimensional conformal RT (3D-RT) techniques are gold standard for post-operative flank radiotherapy (RT) in paediatric renal tumours. Recently, highly conformal RT (HC-RT) techniques have been implemented without comparative clinical data. The main objective of this multicentre study was to compare locoregional control (LRC) in children treated either with HC-RT or 3D-RT techniques. METHODS: Patients treated with post-operative flank RT for renal tumour registered in the national cohort PediaRT between March 2013 and September 2019 were included. Treatment and follow-up data, including toxicities and outcomes, were retrieved from the database. LRC was calculated, and dose reconstruction was performed in case of an event. RESULTS: Seventy-nine patients were included. Forty patients were treated with HC-RT and 39 with 3D-RT. Median follow-up was 4.5 years. Three patients had locoregional failure (LRF; 4%). HC-RT was not associated with a higher risk of LRF. Three-year LRC were 97.4% and 94.7% in the HC-RT and 3D-RT groups, respectively. The proportion of planning target volumes receiving 95% or more of the prescribed dose did not significantly differ between both groups (HC-RT 88%; 3D-RT 69%; p = .05). HC-RT was better achieving dose constraints, and a significant mean dose reduction was observed in the peritoneal cavity and pancreas associated with lower incidence of acute gastrointestinal toxicity. CONCLUSION: LRF after post-operative flank RT for renal tumours was rare and did not increase using HC-RT versus 3D-RT techniques. Dose to the pancreas and the peritoneal cavity, as well as acute toxicity, were reduced with HC-RT compared to 3D-RT.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Brachytherapy of the vaginal dome is the recommended adjuvant treatment for intermediate-risk endometrial cancer. This study assessed the results of dosimetric planning of high-dose-rate brachytherapy exclusively in the first treatment session. STUDY DESIGN: This retrospective study included all patients who underwent hysterectomy for endometrial cancer followed by adjuvant brachytherapy of the vaginal dome between 2012 and 2015. Local recurrence rates, overall survival (OS) rates, recurrence-free survival (RFS) rates, and related acute and late toxicity rates were evaluated. RESULTS: This analysis included 250 patients, of whom 208 were considered to be at high-intermediate risk of disease recurrence. After a median follow-up of 56 months, the cumulative incidence of local recurrence was 4.8% at 3 years [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.8-8.3] and 7.8% at 5 years (95% CI 4.8-12.6). The 5-year OS rate was 86.2% (95% CI 80.6-90.3), and the 5-year RFS rate was 77.5% (95% CI 71.1-82.7). Acute toxicity occurred in 20 (8%) patients, of which two patients had grade ≥3 toxicity. Only one patient (0.4%) presented with late grade ≥3 toxicity. CONCLUSION: These findings confirm the tolerability of this brachytherapy approach, indicating minimal cases of late grade ≥3 toxicity, associated with a good 5-year OS rate. With the advent of molecular prognostic factors, the current focus revolves around discerning those individuals who gain the greatest benefit from adjuvant therapy, and tailoring treatment more effectively.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The aim of our prospective study was to assess the prognostic value of 18F-FDG PET/CT performed two months post treatment for anal canal neoplasm. POPULATION AND METHODS: Consecutive patients with histologically proved anal cancer, with 18F-FDG PET/CT pre and two months post treatment were included. Patients were not previously treated for this neoplasm and then received radiotherapy ± chemotherapy. Clinical and pathologic data were collected and for 18F-FDG PET/CT visual and quantitative analysis (standardized uptake value, metabolic volume) were performed; response was classified according to EORTC and PERCIST criteria. The results were assessed for disease free survival and local recurrence free survival using the log-Rank test RESULTS: From December 2014 to September 2019, 94 consecutive patients were screened and 78 were included in this study. Median follow-up was 51 months. Two months post treatment, 37 patients (47.4%) had a complete radiological response according to both EORTC and PERCIST criteria, 66 patients (84.6%) had a clinical complete response. For disease free survival, the prognostic value of complete response was statistically significant (p=0.02) with 18F-FDG PET/CT and with clinical examination (p<0.001). For local recurrence free survival, the prognostic value with 18F-FDG PET/CT was lower (p=0.04) than clinical examination (p < 0.007). CONCLUSION: While clinical examination remains the gold standard for post treatment evaluation in anal cancer, 18F-FDG PET/CT has a statistically significant prognostic value. These two assessments could be combined to improve early evaluation.

RESUMO

In squamous cell anal canal neoplasms, persistent disease or recurrence after initial chemoradiotherapy are not the rule, yet their occurrence deserves to be analyzed to better identify prognostics factors. The aim of our study was to describe the patterns of failures of the initial treatment, their subsequent evolution and to identify prognostic factors in these relapsed patients. All patients with non-metastatic anal squamous cell carcinoma initially treated with curative intent at the Centre Antoine Lacassagne between 1999 and 2019, and who presented persistent disease or recurrence were analyzed. The median follow-up was 44 months. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to identify prognostic factors. From our database of 528 patients, 77 patients were eligible: 25 with persistent disease and 52 with recurrence after complete response. The median overall survival was 39 months (95% CI: 25.5-52.3 months) from the date of treatment failure. In univariate analysis, prognostic factors were gender, initial lymph node status, type of failure, response to treatment's failure. In multivariate analysis, only female gender remained statistically significant (HR 0.43- P=0.016). 32% of patients with persistent disease had metastatic status. 17.3% and 5.8% of recurrences respectively occurred after three and five years of follow-up. Systematic imaging could be performed after initial treatment because of distant lesions in one third of patients with persistent disease. The follow-up should not be interrupted before five years, given the significant frequency of late recurrences. In multivariate analysis, only female gender was statistically significant. Stratified treatment based on prognostic factors could be envisaged, the details of which remain to be defined.

RESUMO

Purpose: This study aimed to describe our institutional experience in the use of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the management of adrenal gland metastases from multiple primary cancers. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 31 patients who underwent SBRT as treatment for 33 adrenal gland lesions in the academic radiotherapy department of Oscar Lambret cancer center between May 2011 and September 2018. The primary study endpoints were 1- and 2-year local control rates, defined as the absence of progression at the treatment site based on the response evaluation criteria in solid tumors (RECIST). Toxicities were graded in accordance with the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.03. Results: The average tumor volume was 33.5 cm3 (standard deviation: 51.7 cm3), and the prescribed dose ranged from 30 to 55 Gy given in 3-9 fractions. The median biological effective dose was 112.5 Gy (range: 45-115.5 Gy), assuming α/ß = 10. Considering progression at distant sites or death as competing events, the 1- and 2-year actuarial local control rates were 96.5% (95% confidence interval: 84.9-99.7) and 92.6% (95% confidence interval: 79.2-98.7), respectively. According to RECIST, a complete response was achieved in 10 (32.3%) lesions, a partial response in 10 (32.3%) lesions, and stability in 8 (25.8%) lesions. Three patients presented with local relapse at 8.8, 14, and 49.4 months. After a median follow-up of 18 months (range: 4.4-66.4), the median overall survival was 33.5 months (95% confidence interval: 17-not reached), while the median progression-free survival was 7.4 months (95% confidence interval: 3.8-14.1). Treatment-related toxicity was grade 1 or 2 in 42.4% of patients, including nausea (27.3%), abdominal pain (18.2%), vomiting (15.2%), and asthenia (9.1%). None of the patients developed acute grade ≥3 or late toxicity. Conclusion: SBRT seems to be a safe and effective treatment for adrenal gland metastases in patients whose primary tumor and metastatic spread are controlled by systemic treatment. With a 2-year local control rate of 92.6%, SBRT may be considered as one of the first-line treatments in oligometastatic patients with adrenal metastases.
