Interstitial multicatheter HDR-brachytherapy as accelerated partial breast irradiation after second breast-conserving surgery for locally recurrent breast cancer. JOURNAL OF RADIATION RESEARCH 2021; 62:465-472. [PMID: 33604659 PMCID: PMC8127653 DOI: 10.1093/jrr/rrab004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/11/2020] [Revised: 11/27/2020] [Indexed: 06/12/2023]
Abstract
Our aim was to evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of interstitial multicatheter high dose rate brachytherapy (imHDR-BRT) as accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) after second breast-conserving surgery (BCS) in patients with ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR). Between January 2010 and December 2019, 20 patients with IBTR who refused salvage mastectomy (sMT) were treated with second BCS and post-operative imHDR-BRT as APBI. All patients had undergone primary BCS followed by adjuvant external beam radiotherapy. Median imHDR-BRT dose was 32 Gy delivered in twice-daily fractions of 4 Gy. Five-year IBTR-free survival, distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), overall survival (OS) as well as toxicity and cosmesis were evaluated in the present retrospective analysis. Median age at recurrence and median time from the first diagnosis to IBTR was 65.1 years and 12.2 years, respectively. After a median follow-up of 69.9 months, two patients developed a second local recurrence resulting in 5-year IBTR free-survival of 86.8%. Five-year DMFS and 5-year OS were 84.6% and 92.3%, respectively. Grade 1-2 fibrosis was noted in 60% of the patients with no grade 3 or higher toxicity. Two (10%) cases of asymptomatic fat necrosis were documented. Cosmetic outcome was classified as excellent in 6 (37.5%), good in 6 (37.5%), fair in 3 (18.75%) and poor in 1 (6.25%) patient, respectively. We conclude that imHDR-BRT as APBI re-irradiation is effective and safe for IBTR and should be considered in appropriately selected patients.

Reviewing the potential use of scaffold-mediated localized chemotherapy in oncology. FORUM OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY 2021.

Abstract
Abstract
Post-surgical recurrence and metastasis remain to be the major concern in oncology. The absence of any therapeutic modality during the interim period between the surgical intervention and initiation of conventional radiotherapy and chemotherapy allows the residual cancer cells to proliferate, culminating in recurrence and/or metastasis. Introducing a therapeutic modality during this interim period could suppress the proliferation of the residual tumor cells. Further, as the detrimental effects of conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy drastically reduce the patient’s quality of life, use of therapeutic modality with localized effect can reduce the risk of systemic toxicity. Thus, the present manuscript reviews the potential use of scaffold-mediated local chemotherapy in oncology. Its localized effect would prevent systemic toxicity, while the scaffold serves as an ideal vehicle for the sustained targeted delivery of therapeutic agents.

[PMID: 33770311 DOI: 10.1007/s10549-021-06206-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/12/2021] [Accepted: 03/19/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Mastectomy has long been the preferred approach for local salvage of recurrent breast cancer following breast-conservation therapy (BCT). Growing interest in avoiding mastectomy prompted RTOG 1014, a landmark phase two study demonstrating the feasibility of repeat BCT using a novel radiotherapy (RT) regimen (i.e., 45 Gy administered in 30 fractions of 1.5 Gy twice-daily to the partial breast, "rePBI"). We adopted this regimen as our institutional standard and report our observations regarding the safety and efficacy of rePBI as salvage therapy. METHODS All patients at our institution who underwent repeat BCT and subsequently received rePBI from 2011 to 2019 were identified. Clinicopathologic features and treatment characteristics for both primary breast cancers and recurrences were collected, as were rates of subsequent recurrence and treatment-associated toxicities. RESULTS The cohort included 34 patients with a median age of 65.8 (46.2-78.2) at the time of rePBI. At a median follow-up of 23.5 months, there were two subsequent locoregional recurrences (2-year local control rate 97%). There was no grade ≥ 3 toxicity. The most common acute toxicity (< 3 months) was radiation dermatitis (100%), and common grade 1-2 late toxicities (> 3 months) included fibrosis in 14 (41%), breast asymmetry in 12 (35%), and chest wall pain in 11 (32%). CONCLUSIONS Repeat breast conservation using the hyperfractionated partial breast RT regimen defined by RTOG 1014 (45 Gy administered in 30 1.5 Gy twice-daily fractions) appears effective and well tolerated. No grade 3 or higher toxicities were observed and local control was excellent. Longer term follow-up among larger cohorts will define whether salvage mastectomy should remain the preferred standard.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate clinical results of catheter-based interstitial high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) as adjuvant treatment in previously irradiated recurrent breast cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Between January 2011 and September 2015, 31 consecutive patients with histologically confirmed recurrent breast cancer after conservative surgery and conventional whole breast radiotherapy, were retreated with a second conservative surgical resection and reirradiated with adjuvant interstitial HDR-BT. None of the brachytherapy implant was performed during the quadrantectomy procedure. A dose of 34 Gy in 10 fractions, 2 fractions per day, with a minimal interval of 6 hours was delivered. RESULTS At the time of the implant, the median age of patients was 59.7 years (range, 39.3-74.9 years). The median time from first treatment until BT for local recurrence was 11.9 years (range, 2.5-27.8 years). The median interval between salvage surgery and BT was 3.6 months (range, 1-8.2 months). No acute epidermitis or soft tissue side effects higher than grade 2 were recorded, with good cosmetic results in all patients. Most of the patients presented grade 1-2 late side effects. Only one patient developed grade 3 liponecrosis. After a median follow-up of 73.7 months (range, 28.8-102.4 months), the overall survival and cancer specific survival were 87.1% and 90.3%, respectively; 5-year local control and 5-year progression-free survival rate were 90.3% and 83.9%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our preliminary analysis showed that HDR-BT is a feasible treatment for partial breast reirradiation offering very low complications rate and fast procedure. Higher patients' cohort is warranted in order to define the role of this treatment modality in the breast conservative management of local recurrence.

Multifocality in ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence - A study in ablative specimens. Eur J Surg Oncol 2020; 46:1471-1476. [PMID: 32402507 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejso.2020.04.035] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2019] [Revised: 02/24/2020] [Accepted: 04/17/2020] [Indexed: 01/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence and clinical significance of multifocality in ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) after breast-conserving therapy (BCT) are unclear. With growing interest in repeat BCT, this information has become of importance. This study aimed to gain insight in the incidence of multifocality in IBTR, to identify patient- and tumor-related predicting factors and to investigate the prognostic significance of multifocality. METHODS Two hundred and fifteen patients were included in this analysis. All had an IBTR after BCT and were treated by salvage mastectomy and appropriate adjuvant therapy. Predictive tumor- and patient-related factors for multifocality in IBTR were identified using X2 test and univariate logistic regression analyses. Prognostic outcomes were calculated using Kaplan Meier analysis and compared using the log rank test. RESULTS Multifocality was present in 50 (22.9%) of IBTR mastectomy specimens. Axillary positivity in IBTR was significantly associated with multifocality in IBTR. Chest wall re-recurrences occurred more often after multifocal IBTR (14% versus 7% after unifocal IBTR, p = 0.120). Regional re-recurrences did not differ significantly between unifocal and multifocal IBTR (8% vs. 6%, p = 0.773). Distant metastasis after salvage surgery occurred more frequently after multifocal IBTR (15% vs. 24%, p = 0.122). Overall survival was 132 months after unifocal IBTR and 112 months after multifocal IBTR (p = 0.197). CONCLUSION The prevalence of multifocality in IBTR is higher than in primary breast cancer. Axillary positivity in IBTR was associated with a multifocal IBTR. Chest wall re-recurrences and distant metastasis were, although not statistically significant, more prevalent after multifocal IBTR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Locoregional recurrence of breast cancer is challenging for clinicians, due to the various former treatments patients have undergone. However, treatment of the recurrence with systemic therapy and subsequent reirradiation of chest wall is accompanied by increased toxicities, particularly radiation-induced cardiovascular disease. Reirradiation by proton beam therapy (PBT) enables superior preservation of adjacent organs at risk as well as concurrent dose escalation for delivery to the gross tumor. This technology is expected to improve the overall outcome of recurrent breast cancer.
CASE SUMMARY A 47-year-old female presented with an extensive locoregional recurrence at 10 yr after primary treatment of a luminal A breast cancer. Because of tumor progression despite having undergone bilateral ovarectomy and systemic therapy, the patient was treated with PBT BE total dose of 64.40 Gy to each gross tumor and 56.00 Gy to the upper mediastinal and retrosternal lymphatics including the entire sternum in 28 fractions. Follow-up computed tomography showed a partial remission, without evidence of newly emerging metastasis. At 19 mo after the PBT, the patient developed a radiation-induced pericardial disease and pleural effusions with clinical burden of dyspnea, which were successfully treated by drainage and corticosteroid. Cytological analysis of the puncture fluid showed no malignancy, and the subsequent computed tomography scan indicated stable disease as well as significantly decreased pericardial and pleural effusions. The patient remains free of progression to date.
CONCLUSION PBT was a safe and effective method of reirradiation for locoregionally recurrent breast cancer in our patient.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of the study was to evaluate the results of high-dose-rate plesiobrachytherapy for local relapse after mastectomy and radiotherapy in terms of both local control and survival. METHODS We reviewed retrospectively 43 patients who experienced a chest wall relapse of breast cancer after local excision (22 patients) or not (21 patients). Patients were treated with an individually designed mold with four to six fractions of 3-6 Gy high-dose-rate brachytherapy, two fractions per week. Mean total dose was 24 Gy. RESULTS After surgical resection, the 3- and 5-year local control rates were 80% and 73%, respectively. For nonresectable patients, the overall response rate was 86%, and the 3-year infield local control and chest wall local control were 51% and 26%, respectively. The 5-year survival rate was 50.5% for the whole population, 62% after surgery, and 45.4% for irresectable patients. Acute Grade 2 or 3 toxicity occurred in 43% of the patients, resolving in a few days. Two patients had a local necrosis lasting 3 to 7 months. Late toxicity was observed in 5 patients. CONCLUSIONS High-dose-rate plesiobrachytherapy is a simple outpatient technique to treat chest wall local relapse of breast cancer. As a reirradiation technique, its tolerance is acceptable. This technique may obtain long-term local control after incomplete surgery; in case of nonresectable disease, a high response rate was observed, which might improve the quality of life of these patients.

Neem leaf glycoprotein prevents post-surgical sarcoma recurrence in Swiss mice by differentially regulating cytotoxic T and myeloid-derived suppressor cells. PLoS One 2017; 12:e0175540.

Abstract
Post-surgical tumor recurrence is a common problem in cancer treatment. In the present study, the role of neem leaf glycoprotein (NLGP), a novel immunomodulator, in prevention of post-surgical recurrence of solid sarcoma was examined. Data suggest that NLGP prevents tumor recurrence after surgical removal of sarcoma in Swiss mice and increases their tumor-free survival time. In NLGP-treated tumor-free mice, increased cytotoxic CD8+ T cells and a decreased population of suppressor cells, especially myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) was observed. NLGP-treated CD8+ T cells showed greater cytotoxicity towards tumor-derived MDSCs and supernatants from the same CD8+ T cell culture caused upregulation of FasR and downregulation of cFLIP in MDSCs. To elucidate the role of CD8+ T cells, specifically in association with the downregulation in MDSCs, CD8+ T cells were depleted in vivo before NLGP immunization in surgically tumor removed mice and tumor recurrence was noted. These mice also exhibited increased MDSCs along with decreased levels of Caspase 3, Caspase 8 and increased cFLIP expression. In conclusion, it can be stated that NLGP, by activating CD8+ T cells, down regulates the proportion of MDSCs. Accordingly, suppressive effects of MDSCs on CD8+ T cells are minimized and optimum immune surveillance in tumor hosts is maintained to eliminate the residual tumor mass appearing during recurrence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complete response (CR) in metastatic breast cancer (MBC) is rare. This study aims at analyzing the characteristics and outcome of MBC patients achieving CR. METHODS We performed a cross-sectional analysis of clinical data from a consecutive series of MBC patients admitted at the Division of Medical Oncology of Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, Milan, Italy, achieving CR following treatment for systemic disease and with at least 2 years of follow-up. RESULTS Seventy-six MBC patients with CR were identified during a calendar year. 47 patients (61.8%) achieved CR more than once, for a total of 123 cases. Median age at MBC diagnosis was 56 years (range 30-76). 52 patients (68.4%) presented with recurrent disease, 24 (31.6%) with de novo metastatic disease. The majority of patients (80.3%) had hormone receptor (HR) positive and 26 (34.2%) had HER2 overexpressing MBC. 54 patients (71.1%) had only one site of metastatic disease. 33 patients (43.4%) received a local approach as part of their treatment and 67 (54.5%) achieved CR during maintenance therapy. CRs were durable, as after a median follow-up of 8.3 years (interquartile range 5.8-11.0 years) 42 patients (55.3%) were alive with no evidence of disease. CONCLUSIONS Durable CRs can occur after systemic therapy alone or after combined systemic and local treatments. Most cases presented CR in the presence of limited disease spreading, not necessarily on first-line therapy. Our study highlights the crucial role of multidisciplinary approach to MBC and the benefit of maintenance treatment.
