Abstract
PURPOSE Radiotherapy (RT) is a recognized risk factor for cerebrovascular (CV) disease in children and in adults with head and neck cancer. We aimed to investigate whether cerebral RT increases the risk of CV disease in adults with primary brain tumors (PBT). METHODS We retrospectively identified adults with a supratentorial PBT diagnosed between 1975 and 2006 and with at least 10 years follow-up after treatment. We analyzed demographic, clinical, and radiological features with special attention to CV events. We also described CV events, vascular risk factors, and intracranial artery modifications in a cross-sectional study of irradiated patients alive at the time of the study. RESULTS A total of 116 patients, treated with RT (exposed group), and 85 non-irradiated patients (unexposed group) were enrolled. Stroke was more frequent in irradiated PBT patients than in the unexposed group (42/116 (36%) vs 7/85 (8%); p < 0.001), with higher prevalence of both ischemic (27/116 (23%) vs 6/85 (7%); p = 0.004) and hemorrhagic (12/116 (10%) vs 1/85 (1%); p = 0.02) stroke. In the irradiated group, patients with tumors near the Willis Polygon were more likely to experience stroke (p < 0.016). Fourty-four alive irradiated patients were included in the cross-sectional study. In this subgroup, intracranial arterial stenosis was more prevalent (11/45, 24%) compared to general population (9%). CONCLUSIONS Stroke prevalence is increased in long-surviving PBT patients treated with cranial RT. IMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS CV events are frequent in long survivors of PBT treated with cerebral RT. We propose a check list to guide management of late CV complications in adults treated with RT for PBT.

Abstract
The delineation of organs at risk is the basis of radiotherapy oncologists' work. Indeed, the knowledge of this delineation enables to better identify the target volumes and to optimize dose distribution, involving the prognosis of the patients but also their future. The learning of this delineation must continue throughout the clinician's career. Some contour changes have appeared with better imaging, some volumes are now required due to development of knowledge of side effects. In addition, the increasing survival time of patients requires to be more systematic and precise in the delineations, both to avoid complications until now exceptional but also because re-irradiations are becoming more and more frequent. We present the update of the recommendations of the French Society for Radiation Oncology (SFRO) on new findings or adaptations to volumes at risk.
