Helical tomotherapy craniospinal irradiation in primary brain tumours: Toxicities and outcomes in a peadiatric and adult population. Clin Transl Radiat Oncol 2024; 46:100777. [PMID: 38628594 PMCID: PMC11019098 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctro.2024.100777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2023] [Revised: 03/30/2024] [Accepted: 04/04/2024] [Indexed: 04/19/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective As craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is delivered more frequently by helical tomotherapy (HT) with few reports about late effects, we analysed all patients treated in our centre over an 11-year period. Methods and materials Our study included all patients that underwent CSI by HT, between September 2009 and January 2020, in the Department of Radiation Oncology of the Toulouse Cancer Institute. Acute radiotherapy toxicities were reported and medium- to long-term outcomes analysed. Results Among the 79 patients included, 70.9 % were younger than 18 years at diagnosis, the median age was 13 (range: 1-52) at the time of radiation therapy, 67.1 % of patients had medulloblastoma. Half of them (49.4 %) had a metastatic disease at diagnosis. The median dose of CSI was 36 Gy (range, 18-36). Seventy-seven patients received a radiation boost to the original location of the primary tumour (97.5 %), 32 patients also received a boost to their metastatic sites (40.5 %). Median follow-up was 55.5 months (95 %CI = [41.2; 71.8]). The 3-year event-free survival rate was 66.3 % (95 %CI = [54.2; 75.9]). Most patients presented with acute haematological toxicities during CSI (85.9 %), predominantly severe thrombocytopenia (39.7 %). Among the 64 patients assessed for medium- and long-term outcomes, 52 survived and 47 were alive and disease-free at the latest follow-up visit on record. There were 3.8 % secondary tumours: two meningiomas and one diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma. Adult and paediatric patients respectively presented with secondary cataract (4.3 % vs 22.0 %), persistent hearing disorders (26.1 % vs 29.3 %), pulmonary or cardiac late effects (4.3 % vs 2.4 %), hormonal pituitary gland deficiencies (30.0 % vs 56.8 %) and psycho-cognitive disorders (56.5 % vs 53.7 %). Conclusion CSI dispensed by HT, did not result in any additional acute or late toxicities when compared to 3D-CSI. There was no increase in the secondary tumour rate compared to that reported in the literature.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Ionizing radiation (IR) can affect the brain and the visual organ even at low doses, while provoking cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and visual disorders. We proposed to consider the brain and the visual organ as potential targets for the influence of IR with the definition of cerebro-ophthalmic relationships as the «eye-brain axis». OBJECTIVE The present work is a narrative review of current experimental, epidemiological and clinical data on radiation cerebro-ophthalmic effects in children, individuals exposed in utero, astronauts and interventional radiologists. MATERIALS AND METHODS The review was performed according to PRISMA guidelines by searching the abstract and scientometric databases PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, PsycINFO, Google Scholar, published from 1998 to 2021, as well as the results of manual search of peer-reviewed publications. RESULTS Epidemiological data on the effects of low doses of IR on neurodevelopment are quite contradictory, while data on clinical, neuropsychological and neurophysiological on cognitive and cerebral disorders, especially in the left, dominant hemisphere of the brain, are nore consistent. Cataracts (congenital - after in utero irradiation) and retinal angiopathy are more common in prenatally-exposed people and children. Astronauts, who carry out longterm space missions outside the protection of the Earth's magnetosphere, will be exposed to galactic cosmic radiation (heavy ions, protons), which leads to cerebro-ophthalmic disorders, primarily cognitive and behavioral disorders and cataracts. Interventional radiologists are a special risk group for cerebro-ophthalmic pathology - cognitivedeficits, mainly due to dysfunction of the dominant and more radiosensitive left hemisphere of the brain, andcataracts, as well as early atherosclerosis and accelerated aging. CONCLUSIONS Results of current studies indicate the high radiosensitivity of the brain and eye in different contingents of irradiated persons. Further research is needed to clarify the nature of cerebro-ophthalmic disorders in different exposure scenarios, to determine the molecular biological mechanisms of these disorders, reliable dosimetric support and taking into account the influence of non-radiation risk factors.

Variation in Proton Craniospinal Irradiation Practice Patterns in the United States: A Pediatric Proton Consortium Registry (PPCR) Study. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2021; 112:901-912. [PMID: 34808253 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2021.11.016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/01/2021] [Revised: 11/03/2021] [Accepted: 11/14/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Craniospinal irradiation (CSI) is commonly used for pediatric brain tumors with a propensity for spread in craniospinal fluid, principally medulloblastoma. Evolving technology has led to the use of highly conformal radiation therapy (RT) techniques for CSI, including proton therapy. Target delineation and plan coverage are critical for CSI, but there is ongoing controversy and variability in these realms, with little available data on practice patterns. We sought to characterize proton CSI practice patterns in the United States by examining CSI plans in the Pediatric Proton/Photon Consortium Registry (PPCR). MATERIALS AND METHODS PPCR was queried for data on proton CSI patients from 2015 to early 2020. Each plan was manually reviewed, determining patient position; prescription dose; and coverage of optic nerves, vertebral bodies, spinal nerve roots, sacral nerves, and cranial foramina, among other variables. Two radiation oncologists blinded to clinical data and treating institution assessed coverage at the 95% prescription isodose line and per published European Society for Paediatric Oncology guidelines. Variability in coverage was assessed with nonparametric tests and univariate and multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS PPCR supplied data for 450 patients, 384 of whom had an evaluable portion of a CSI plan. Most patients (90.3%) were supine. Optic nerves were fully covered in 48.2%; sacral nerves in 87.7%; cranial foramina in 69.3%; and spinal nerves in 95.6%. Vertebral body (VB) sparing was used in 18.6% of skeletally immature cases, increasing over time (P < .001). Coverage in all categories was significantly different among treating institutions, on univariate and multivariate analyses. Cribriform plate deficits were rare, with marginal misses of the foramen ovale (17.4%) and frontal lobe (12%) most common. CONCLUSION We found consistent variation based on treating institution in proton CSI practices including optic nerve, VB, sacral nerve, cranial, and spinal nerve coverage. These data may serve as a baseline quantification of current proton CSI practices in the United States as they continue to evolve.

Evaluation of treatment-associated eye toxicity after irradiation in childhood and adolescence-results from the Registry of the Evaluation of Side Effects after Radiotherapy in Childhood and Adolescence (RiSK). Strahlenther Onkol 2021; 197:700-710. [PMID: 34100093 PMCID: PMC8292243 DOI: 10.1007/s00066-021-01793-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/26/2021] [Accepted: 04/23/2021] [Indexed: 11/06/2022]
Abstract
Purpose The aim of the study is to evaluate treatment-related acute and late eye toxicity associated with radiation therapy in childhood and adolescence as correlated with RT (radiotherapy) doses. Methods From 2001 to 2016, a total of 1725 children and adolescents undergoing radiation therapy were prospectively documented in the Registry of the Evaluation of Side Effects after Radiotherapy in Childhood and Adolescence (RiSK). The RTOG/EORTC criteria were used to classify ocular acute and late effects. Uni- and multivariate analyses were carried out to evaluate the impact of patient age, pre-existing impairments, and radiation dose on ocular toxicity. Results Of all documented patients, 593 received dose to the eye and formed the basis of this analysis. In 435 patients, information on acute reaction was available and graded 1, 2, 3, and 4 in 49, 17, 0, and 2 patients, respectively. Information on late toxicity was available in 268 patients and graded 1, 2, 3, and 4 in 15, 11, 11, and 5 patients, respectively. The acute toxicity rate was significantly higher in children who received a maximum dose > 50 Gy to the eye (p < 0.001) and who had a pre-existing eye impairment (p < 0.001 in multivariate analysis). The development of late toxicity was significantly higher for patients experiencing acute toxicity and having received a radiation dose > 50 Gy. Conclusion Acute and late toxicity both correlate with high radiation dose to the eye (> 50 Gy) and acute toxicity additionally with pre-existing eye impairments.

Abstract
Exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) could affect the human brain and eyes leading to both cognitive and visual impairments. The aim of this paper was to review and analyze the current literature, and to comment on the ensuing findings in the light of our personal contributions in this field. The review was carried out according to the PRISMA guidelines by searching PubMed, Scopus, Embase, PsycINFO and Google Scholar English papers published from January 2000 to January 2020. The results showed that prenatally or childhood-exposed individuals are a particular target group with a higher risk for possible radiation effects and neurodegenerative diseases. In adulthood and medical/interventional radiologists, the most frequent IR-induced ophthalmic effects include cataracts, glaucoma, optic neuropathy, retinopathy and angiopathy, sometimes associated with specific neurocognitive deficits. According to available information that eye alterations may induce or may be associated with brain dysfunctions and vice versa, we propose to label this relationship "eye-brain axis", as well as to deepen the diagnosis of eye pathologies as early and easily obtainable markers of possible low dose IR-induced brain damage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study looked at a single paediatric neuro-oncology centre's experience of childhood intracranial tumours seen in the ophthalmology clinic over an approximately five-year period. This was used to analyse the role of the ophthalmologist in their long term follow up. METHODS A database was compiled of all children discussed at the neuro-oncology multi-disciplinary team (MDT) meeting between January 2012 and April 2017. All children who had an intracranial tumour determined by histology or suspected on neuro-imaging, who had also been seen in the ophthalmology clinic, were included. A retrospective case review was performed to create a record for each child. RESULTS The database contained 129 children of which 82 (64%) were boys and 47 (36%) were girls. Of these 89 (69%) had a histological diagnosis and 40 (31%) had a tumour suspected on neuroimaging. The most common tumour locations were the posterior fossa (n = 54, 42%), diencephalon (n = 20, 16%) and the visual pathways (n = 17, 13%). Papilloedema at first presentation was only found in 39 (30%) children. The most common other neuro-ophthalmic manifestations were non-paralytic strabismus (n=33), sixth nerve palsy (n=19) and seventh nerve palsy (n=12). Non-paralytic strabismus was a presenting symptom in only one case. There were 13 ophthalmic surgical procedures required for these children, the most common being strabismus surgery. CONCLUSION We report the types and locations of paediatric intracranial tumours seen in the ophthalmology clinic as well as their neuro-ophthalmic manifestations. Only 30% presented with papilloedema and approximately 10% required an ophthalmic surgical procedure.
