RESUMO

A 56-year-old man with BRAFV600E melanoma and spinal metastases treated with vemurafenib and stereotactic radiation showed a partial response without neurological, skin or mucosal toxicity, 8 months after completion of this combination. This case suggests that stereotactic radiation spares normal tissues and might be safer than conventional fractionated radiation with vemurafenib.

RESUMO

Patients with resectable stage IIIA - N2 lung cancer represent a very heterogeneous population with variable risks of postoperative recurrence depending on the type of N2 involvement (unisite N2, multisite N2, bulky N2, extra-capsular rupture, incomplete resection…). This heterogeneity associated with the difficulty of carrying out prospective randomized studies with sufficient power in stages IIIA - 2, results in the absence of clear and consensual recommendations (except for stages IIIA - N2 resectable R0, since LungART and PORT-C studies). The objective of this article is to make an update on the place of postoperative radiotherapy in the management of stages IIIA - N2 following the publication of two recent randomized trials (PORT-C and LungART) but also compare them fort a better understanding of the current issues raised by these first published results. Indeed, these two trials do not find any benefit in terms of progression free survival and overall survival of postoperative radiotherapy but exploratory analyzes from these two studies seem to show a potential benefit of postoperative in some pN2 populations at high risk of locoregional recurrence (N2 multisite, N2 bulky…). In addition, the advent of immunotherapy (atezolizumab or pembrolizumab) and targeted therapies (osimertinib) in the adjuvant situation are redebating the place of a possible indication for postoperative radiotherapy in stage IIIA - 2.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: Human, material, and financial resources being limited, the organization of the care system must allow an efficient allocation of resources. The management of cancers leads to specific and repetitive care for which the reimbursement of transport costs represents a high cost. We carried out an analysis of the additional transport costs, linked to the care of patients in Île-de-France, in a center other than the radiotherapy center closest to their home. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Using data from the Île-de-France Regional Health Agency, we have created a model evaluating the additional cost linked to transport generated by the care of a radiotherapy patient far from his home. In order to take into account the uncertainties linked to the hypotheses made in the development of the model, we carried out deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyzes. RESULTS: In the base case, the additional annual cost related to transport was 841,176 euros in Île-de-France. The probabilistic sensitivity analysis reports a total annual additional cost of 2,817,481 euros. CONCLUSION: Our results are similar to a report from the General Inspectorate of Social Affairs published in July 2011, which then pointed to an additional cost of between 4 and 6 million euros annually. The long-term care of cancer patients from their homes contributes to a deterioration in the quality of life linked to travel times, a delay in the care of potential treatment complications, and the spread of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19, and bacteria resistant to antibiotics.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: The clinical validation of the EARL harmonization program for standardised uptake value (SUV) metrics is well documented; however, its potential for defining metabolic active tumour volume (MATV) has not yet been investigated. We aimed to compare delineation of MATV on images reconstructed using conventional ordered subset expectation maximisation (OSEM) with those reconstructed using point spread function modelling (PSF-reconstructed images), and either optimised for diagnostic potential (PSF) or filtered to meet the EANM/EARL harmonising standards (PSF7). METHODS: Images from 18 stage IIIA-IIIB lung cancer patients were reconstructed using all the three methods. MATVs were then delineated using both a 40% isocontour and a gradient-based method. MATVs were compared by means of Bland-Altman analyses, and Dice coefficients and concordance indices based on the unions and intersections between each pair of reconstructions (PSF vs OSEM, PSF7 vs PSF and PSF7 vs OSEM). RESULTS: Using the 40% isocontour method and taking the MATVs delineated on OSEM images as a reference standard, the use of PSF7 images led to significantly higher Dice coefficients (median value = 0.96 vs 0.77; P < 0.0001) and concordance indices (median value = 0.92 vs 0.64; P < 0.0001) than those obtained using PSF images. The gradient-based methodology was less sensitive to reconstruction variability than the 40% isocontour method; Dice coefficients and concordance indices were superior to 0.8 for both PSF reconstruction methods. However, the use of PSF7 images led to narrower interquartile ranges and significantly higher Dice coefficients (median value = 0.96 vs 0.94; P = 0.01) and concordance indices (median value = 0.89 vs 0.85; P = 0.003) than those obtained with PSF images. CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that automatic contouring of lung tumours on EARL-compliant PSF images using the widely adopted automatic isocontour methodology is an accurate means of overcoming reconstruction variability in MATV delineation. Although gradient-based methodology appears to be less sensitive to reconstruction variability, the use of EARL-compliant PSF images significantly improved the Dice coefficients and concordance indices, demonstrating the importance of harmonised-images, even when more advanced contouring algorithms are used.
