Stereotactic body radiation therapy for adrenal gland metastases: A multi-institutional outcome analysis. Clin Transl Radiat Oncol 2024; 45:100708. [PMID: 38162282 PMCID: PMC10757246 DOI: 10.1016/j.ctro.2023.100708] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2023] [Revised: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 11/30/2023] [Indexed: 01/03/2024] Open
Abstract
Aim The adrenal gland is a common site of metastasis with a rate of up to 27% in autopsy series. The incidence of these metastases is increasing due to greater use of Positron Emission Tomography scans and improved overall survival of patients with metastatic cancers. Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is a non-invasive treatment option for metastasis. The aim of this study is to assess prognostic factors influencing local control, progression-free and overall survival in oligometastatic patients treated with SBRT for an adrenal metastasis. Methods In this multicentric retrospective study, we included patients with adrenal metastases treated with SBRT between 2010 and 2021 in eleven french centers. All primary tumors were included. Results A total of 110 patients treated for 121 adrenal lesions were included. Non-small-cell lung cancer was the predominant histologic type (55.4 %). Eighty-two percent of patients had at least 2 metastatic sites. The median Planning Target Volume was 70 cm3 with a median prescription dose of 40 Gray (Gy). The mean Biologically Effective Dose (BED) 10 dose was 74.2 Gy. Local control at 1 and 2 years was 85.9 % and 72.5 % respectively. The median overall survival and progression-free survival were 31.6 and 8.5 months respectively. Local control was significantly improved by systemic treatment one month before or after SBRT (p = 0.009) and by a BED10 greater than or equal to 50 Gy (p = 0.003).In multivariate analysis, oligometastatic presentation (p = 0.009) and a metachronous metastatic presentation (p = 0.008) were independent factors for progression-free survival.Tolerance was excellent, no grade 3 and 4 toxicities were described due to SBRT. Conclusion Stereotactic radiotherapy of adrenal metastases makes possible a local control of more than 85% at one year and was well tolerated. The factors influencing survival in oligometastatic patients still need to be found in order to better select those who benefit the most from this type of treatment.

Abstract
370 Background: When combined to preoperative radiation therapy (RT), CP and FFX regimen provide both high complete resection (R0) rate for EC/EGJ cancer (Adenis, ASCO 2022). However, it appeared that neoadjuvant chemoradiation (nCRT) with CP is associated with a severe postoperative morbidity rate higher than expected. We present here the expanded safety and efficacy analyses from the PROTECT trial. Methods: PROTECT is a randomized, phase 2 trial which included stage II/III and ECOG PS ≤2 EC or Siewert I-II EGJ cancers. Patients (pts) received FFX or CP with concurrent RT (41.4Gy, 1.8Gy, 23 fractions), followed by surgery 4-8 weeks after completion of nCRT (Messager, BMC Cancer 2016). Co-primary endpoints were proportion of R0 rate and proportion of Clavien-Dindo severe postoperative morbidity. Main secondary endpoints were nCRT and postoperative safety (NCI CTCAE v.4), DFS and OS. Results: 41/50 (82%) and 39/50 (78 %) pts received the planned chemo cycles and concurrent RT in FFX and CP arms, respectively. Grade (gr.) 3–4 AEs related to nCRT (FFX 14/50, 28%; CP 14/50, 28%) occurring in ≥5% of pts included lymphopenia (n=3, 6%; n=4, 8%), neutropenia (n=1, 2%; n=3, 6%), fatigue (n=2, 4%; n=0) and esophagitis-related to RT (n=1, 2%; n=1, 2%). No death was reported during nCRT. Surgery (FFX and CP; mini invasive: 15 and 15, hybrid: 22 and 21, open: 7 and 12) was performed in 44 and 48 pts, in FFX and CP groups, respectively. The main gr. III-V surgical complications (Clavien-Dindo scale) occurring in ≥5% of pts included esophageal fistula (n=2/43 evaluable pts, 6%; 8/48, 17%), conduit necrosis (n=2, 5%; n=1, 2%), ARDS (n=3, 7%; n=3, 6%), pleural effusion (n=3, 7%; n=4, 8%), and haemorrhage (n=0; n=3, 6%). There were no postoperative deaths. With a median follow-up of 54m, median DFS were 12.3m and 20m (HR=0.84; 95%CI: 0.52-1.35; p=0.48) and median OS were 31.7m and 45.8m (HR=0.79; 95%CI: 0.47-1.32; p=0.36) in FFX and CP arms, respectively. Prognostic factors significantly associated to DFS in univariate analysis were: R0 resection, TRG1-2 and ypT0N0 status. Conclusions: A higher than expected number of severe esophageal fistula was observed in the CP arm. We could not demonstrate a significant benefit of CP compared to FFX in terms of survival outcomes, but the study was not primarily designed to specifically address this issue.

Abstract
PURPOSE Retrospective description of anatomical sites of relapse based on (18F)-choline PET-CT, (68Ga)-prostatic specific-membrane antigen PET-CT, bone scan, and prostate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data. MATERIALS AND METHODS From two French prospective cohorts, patients treated with exclusive radiotherapy for an intermediate-risk cancer were identified during their follow-ups. They were included if they presented a rising of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) associated with the realization of an imaging showing the sites of recurrences. RESULTS Two hundred and sixty-three patients were included. After a median follow-up of 76 months (interquartile range [IQR] 67-95), 65 patients had biochemical recurrence and positive imaging. The median nadir PSA was 0.6ng/mL and the median PSA at recurrence was 3.4ng/mL. A single lesion was found in 48% of cases, 2 to 4 lesions in 43% of cases and more than 4 lesions in 9% of cases. The sites of relapse identified were prostate (37/65), prostate only (19/65), seminal vesicles (9/65) Pelvic nodes (35/65), extrapelvic nodes (15/65) and bone (13/65). CONCLUSIONS The majority of relapses presented as a single lesion localized in the pelvis.

Abstract
4015 Background: Preoperative CRT with a FU/platinum regimen has been used for years for esophageal or junctional cancer before the CP regimen became a standard of care following the results of the CROSS study (van Hagen 2012). We aimed at evaluating the complete resection (R0) rate and severe postoperative morbidity rate associated with these 2 neoadjuvant regimens, each being combined with the radiation (RT) regime used in the CROSS trial. Methods: PROTECT is a multicenter, randomized, non-comparative, phase 2 trial (NCT02359968) in patients (pts) with resectable esophageal or Siewert type I-II junctional cancer, stage II (T1-2N1 or T3N0) or stage III (T3N1 or T4anyN) tumors (UICC-7 classification), and ECOG PS ≤2. Following randomization (balanced by ECOG PS 0 vs 1-2, stage II vs III, squamous-cell (SCC) vs adenocarcinoma (ADK), center), pts received CP (AUC2 CBP plus PCL 50mg/m² / week x 5 weeks), or Fx (FU 400 mg/m² bolus Day 1, then FU 1600 mg/m² continuous infusion over 2 days, plus OX 85 mg/m², and Folinic acid 200 mg/m², 2-h infusion, Day 1; 3 cycles every 2 weeks). RT technique was similar in both arms: 3D-conformal as published in the CROSS trial or IMRT (n = 35); total dose of 41.4Gy, 5 fractions of 1.8Gy / week, starting at Day 1 of chemotherapy. Surgery was performed 4 to 8 weeks after completion of CRT through a transthoracic or mini-invasive approach with a two field extended lymphadenectomy. Co-primary endpoints were R0 (failure: R1 or disease progression under CRT), and severe postoperative morbidity rate ≤30 days after surgery (Clavien-Dindo grade ≥ III). Based on a Bryant and Day 2-stage design (p0 = 75% and p1 = 90% for resection; p0 = 45% and p1 = 25% for morbidity; α = 10% and β = 15%), 48 evaluable pts were required by arm. Results: 100/104 pts recruited from 02/2015 to 08/2020, started the study treatment: 50 CP & 50 Fx. Overall, median age = 64 (range, 33-79); 82/100 males; 62 ADK and 38 SCC; 66 esophageal and 34 junctional site; 31 stage II; 68 stage III, 1 Nx. R0 resection was obtained in 46/50 CP pts (92.0%, 95% CI: 80.8-97.8%), and in 42/48 Fx pts (87.5%, 74.8-95.3%); 2 non evaluable pts because of event unrelated to disease progression. Severe postoperative adverse events (AEs) occurred in 34/91 pts who underwent surgery: 21/48 CP (43.8%, 29.5-58.8%) and 13/43 Fx (30.2%, 17.2-46.1%). Severe AEs were respiratory disorders (CP 26%; Fx 26%), esophageal fistula (CP 18%; Fx 6%), infection (CP 5%; Fx 3%), haemorrhage (CP 5%; Fx 0%) and gastric tube necrosis (CP 6%; Fx 3%). 5 pts died from AEs (3 CP, 2 Fx). A TRG1-2 was observed in 29/48 (60.4%, 95% CI: 44.3-74.2%) CP pts, and in 19/43 (44.2%, 29.1-60.1%) Fx pts. Conclusions: When combined to preoperative radiation therapy at 41.4Gy, both regimens (CP and Fx) provided short-term benefit on R0 resection; however, CP is associated with a severe postoperative morbidity rate higher than expected. Clinical trial information: NCT02359968.

Abstract
Introduction Les professionnels travaillant en établissements de santé (PES) sont exposés au risque d'infection par le SARS-CoV-2. Une enquête a été mise en place afin d'objectiver l'impact de la pandémie dans cette population spécifique. Matériels et méthodes Un web questionnaire a été proposé mi-avril 2020 à tous les établissements de santé (ES) publics ou privés. Les ES volontaires saisissent de manière hebdomadaire le nombre de nouveaux cas de PES infectés et les décès attribuables. La région, la catégorie professionnelle, le service sont également recueillis. Les proportions de PES infectés ont été estimées en rapportant le nombre de cas aux données de la Statistique annuelle des établissements de santé 2019. Résultats 1 450 des 3 636 ES ont participé au moins une fois à l'enquête, à savoir 74,7% des PES salariés en France. Au cours de la 5ème vague, 337 ES ont participé à l'enquête soit 20,7 % des PES salariés en France. Du 1er Mars 2020 au 15 Février 2022, 118 340 PES, correspondant à 12,1 % des PES exerçant dans les ES participants ont été infectés par le SARS-CoV2, avec 19 décès attribuables. La répartition hebdomadaire du nombre de cas montre 5 pics de contamination enregistrés durant les 5 vagues épidémiques successives, le 5e pic étant le plus important. Parmi ces PES, 62,8 % des cas étaient des soignants dont 22 % d'infirmiers et 18 % d'aides-soignants. Rapportés aux effectifs globaux par catégorie professionnelle dans ces ES, les aides-soignants et les kinésithérapeutes étaient les professions les plus infectées (respectivement 12,8 et 12,2 pour 100 professionnels travaillant dans les ES participants). Les PES contaminés travaillaient principalement dans des services de MCO (42,3 %) ou médicotechniques (25,4 %). Des disparités régionales dans la proportion de PES infectés étaient observées au cours des différentes vagues. Lors de la 5ème vague, la Guadeloupe et l'Occitanie sont les régions où les PES sont les plus touchés par la COVID-19. Conclusion Cette enquête montre les mêmes tendances temporelles et géographiques qu'en population générale. L'augmentation du nombre de cas chez les PES lors de la 5ème vague est en lien avec la diffusion rapide du variant Omicron. La participation des ES a varié au cours du temps. Malgré un protocole d'enquête reposant sur la déclaration volontaire, plus de 130 ES (20 % des PES salariés) participent régulièrement à l'enquête et permettent de considérer que ces résultats donnent une bonne estimation de la dynamique de contamination des PES. Bien que l'objectif de cette étude n'était pas de déterminer les circonstances de contamination, il semble que les professions ayant des contacts fréquents et prolongés avec les patients (aides-soignants, kinésithérapeutes) sont proportionnellement les plus touchées.

Abstract
Objectives To characterise the motion of pulmonary tumours during stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and to evaluate different margins when creating the planning target volume (PTV) on a single 4D CT scan (4DCT). Methods We conducted a retrospective single-site analysis on 30 patients undergoing lung SBRT. Two 4DCTs (4DCT1 and 4DCT2) were performed on all patients. First, motion was recorded for each 4DCT in anterior–posterior (AP), superior-inferior (SI) and rightleft (RL) directions. Then, we used 3 different margins (3,4 and 5 mm) to create the PTV, from the internal target volume (ITV) of 4DCT1 only (PTV D1 + 3, PTV D1 + 4, PTV D1 + 5). We compared, using the Dice coefficient, the volumes of these 3 PTVs, to the PTV actually used for the treatment (PTVttt). Finally, new treatment plans were calculated using only these 3 PTVs. We studied the ratio of the D2%, D50% and D98% between each new plan and the plan actually used for the treatment (D2% PTVttt, D50% PTVttt, D50% ITVttt D98% PTVttt). Results 30 lesions were studied. The greatest motion was observed in the SI axis (8.8 ± 6.6 [0.4–25.8] mm). The Dice index was higher when comparing PTVttt to PTV D1 + 4 mm (0.89 ± 0.04 [0.82–0.98]). Large differences were observed when comparing plans relative to PTVttt and PTV D1 + 3 for D98% PTVttt (0.85 ± 0.24 [0.19–1.00]). and also for D98% ITVttt (0.93 ± 0.12 [0.4–1.0]).D98% PTVttt (0.85 ± 0.24 [0.19–1.00], p value = 0.003) was statistically different when comparing plans relative to PTVttt and PTV D1 + 3. No stastistically differences were observed when comparing plans relative to PTVttt and PTV D1 + 4. A difference greater than 10% relative to D98% PTVttt was found for only in one UL lesion, located under the carina. Conclusion A single 4DCT appears feasible for upper lobe lesions located above the carina, using a 4-mm margin to generate the PTV. Advance in knowledge Propostion of a personalized SBRT treatment (number of 4DCT, margins) according to tumor location (above or under the carina).

Postoperative radiotherapy versus no postoperative radiotherapy in patients with completely resected non-small-cell lung cancer and proven mediastinal N2 involvement (Lung ART): an open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial. Lancet Oncol 2022; 23:104-114. [PMID: 34919827 DOI: 10.1016/s1470-2045(21)00606-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 98] [Impact Index Per Article: 49.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2021] [Revised: 10/09/2021] [Accepted: 10/12/2021] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND In patients with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), the use of postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) has been controversial since 1998, because of one meta-analysis showing a deleterious effect on survival in patients with pN0 and pN1, but with an unclear effect in patients with pN2 NSCLC. Because many changes have occurred in the management of patients with NSCLC, the role of three-dimensional (3D) conformal PORT warrants further investigation in patients with stage IIIAN2 NSCLC. The aim of this study was to establish whether PORT should be part of their standard treatment. METHODS Lung ART is an open-label, randomised, phase 3, superiority trial comparing mediastinal PORT to no PORT in patients with NSCLC with complete resection, nodal exploration, and cytologically or histologically proven N2 involvement. Previous neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy was allowed. Patients aged 18 years or older, with an WHO performance status of 0-2, were recruited from 64 hospitals and cancer centres in five countries (France, UK, Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium). Patients were randomly assigned (1:1) to either the PORT or no PORT (control) groups via a web randomisation system, and minimisation factors were the institution, administration of chemotherapy, number of mediastinal lymph node stations involved, histology, and use of pre-treatment PET scan. Patients received PORT at a dose of 54 Gy in 27 or 30 daily fractions, on five consecutive days a week. Three dimensional conformal radiotherapy was mandatory, and intensity-modulated radiotherapy was permitted in centres with expertise. The primary endpoint was disease-free survival, analysed by intention to treat at 3 years; patients from the PORT group who did not receive radiotherapy and patients from the control group with no follow-up were excluded from the safety analyses. This trial is now closed. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00410683. FINDINGS Between Aug 7, 2007, and July 17, 2018, 501 patients, predominantly staged with 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET (456 [91%]; 232 (92%) in the PORT group and 224 (90%) in the control group), were enrolled and randomly assigned to receive PORT (252 patients) or no PORT (249 patients). At the cutoff date of May 31, 2019, median follow-up was 4·8 years (IQR 2·9-7·0). 3-year disease-free survival was 47% (95% CI 40-54) with PORT versus 44% (37-51) without PORT, and the median disease-free survival was 30·5 months (95% CI 24-49) in the PORT group and 22·8 months (17-37) in the control group (hazard ratio 0·86; 95% CI 0·68-1·08; p=0·18). The most common grade 3-4 adverse events were pneumonitis (13 [5%] of 241 patients in the PORT group vs one [<1%] of 246 in the control group), lymphopenia (nine [4%] vs 0), and fatigue (six [3%] vs one [<1%]). Late-grade 3-4 cardiopulmonary toxicity was reported in 26 patients (11%) in the PORT group versus 12 (5%) in the control group. Two patients died from pneumonitis, partly related to radiotherapy and infection, and one patient died due to chemotherapy toxicity (sepsis) that was deemed to be treatment-related, all of whom were in the PORT group. INTERPRETATION Lung ART evaluated 3D conformal PORT after complete resection in patients who predominantly had been staged using (18F-FDG PET-CT and received neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy. 3-year disease-free survival was higher than expected in both groups, but PORT was not associated with an increased disease-free survival compared with no PORT. Conformal PORT cannot be recommended as the standard of care in patients with stage IIIAN2 NSCLC.

Abstract
See an invited perspective on this article on page 1043.This multicenter phase II study investigated a selective radiotherapy dose increase to tumor areas with significant 18F-misonidazole (18F-FMISO) uptake in patients with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Methods: Eligible patients had locally advanced NSCLC and no contraindication to concomitant chemoradiotherapy. The 18F-FMISO uptake on PET/CT was assessed by trained experts. If there was no uptake, 66 Gy were delivered. In 18F-FMISO-positive patients, the contours of the hypoxic area were transferred to the radiation oncologist. It was necessary for the radiotherapy dose to be as high as possible while fulfilling dose-limiting constraints for the spinal cord and lungs. The primary endpoint was tumor response (complete response plus partial response) at 3 mo. The secondary endpoints were toxicity, disease-free survival (DFS), and overall survival at 1 y. The target sample size was set to demonstrate a response rate of 40% or more (bilateral α = 0.05, power 1-β = 0.95). Results: Seventy-nine patients were preincluded, 54 were included, and 34 were 18F-FMISO-positive, 24 of whom received escalated doses of up to 86 Gy. The response rate at 3 mo was 31 of 54 (57%; 95% confidence interval [CI], 43%-71%) using RECIST 1.1 (17/34 responders in the 18F-FMISO-positive group). DFS and overall survival at 1 y were 0.86 (95% CI, 0.77-0.96) and 0.63 (95% CI, 0.49-0.74), respectively. DFS was longer in the 18F-FMISO-negative patients (P = 0.004). The radiotherapy dose was not associated with DFS when adjusting for the 18F-FMISO status. One toxic death (66 Gy) and 1 case of grade 4 pneumonitis (>66 Gy) were reported. Conclusion: Our approach results in a response rate of 40% or more, with acceptable toxicity. 18F-FMISO uptake in NSCLC patients is strongly associated with poor prognosis features that could not be reversed by radiotherapy doses up to 86 Gy.

[Clinical audit of screening for gestational diabetes among 848 pregnant women in 23 maternity units of the Pays de la Loire, 2014]. J Gynecol Obstet Hum Reprod 2016; 45:876-889. [PMID: 27068754 DOI: 10.1016/j.jgyn.2016.02.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2015] [Revised: 02/10/2016] [Accepted: 02/24/2016] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Guidelines for screening for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) were published in 2010. An audit of the maternity units of the Pays de la Loire network sought to determine the adherence rate and to study the factors affecting it in order to propose corrective measures to improve it. METHODS The perinatal network in Pays de la Loire provided obstetricians of the 23 participating maternity units with a set of criteria to be collected from the files of women giving birth. The methodology of the audit was designed to enable calculation of the adherence rate overall and according to indications (risk factors, hyperglycemia, and macrosomia): adherence, non-adherence, and over-adherence (screening in the absence of an indication). To obtain around 900 pregnancies, the audit was planned to cover a week of deliveries in June 2014. RESULTS The analysis included 848 pregnancies and 872 newborns. Risk factors were found for 46.6% of the women (43.2 to 49.9): 13.2% for maternal age≥35years and 30.8% for BMI≥25kg/m2. GDM was diagnosed for 14.6% (12.4 to 17.2). The adherence rate for screening was 45.5% (42.2 to 49.9), the non-adherence rate 27.6% (24.7 to 30.7), and the over-adherence rate 26.9% (24.0 to 30.0). Among the factors potentially associated with adherence, we observed only the second-trimester factor (macrosomia); there was no "professional" effect on adherence criteria. No evidence of overmanagement was observed for the pregnancies/deliveries/newborns with overdiagnosis. Oral glucose tolerance tests were performed in accordance with the guidelines (95.9%). Follow-up of women with GDM by specialists was satisfactory (84.6%). DISCUSSION This audit showed that adherence to the guidelines was insufficient in the Pays de la Loire network. The reasons for this are numerous: ignorance of the guidelines, in part due to their relative recency, the change in the blood sugar levels defining GDM (perceived as too low), and the absence of strong evidence about these thresholds from publications and practices in other countries, the need to select women for risk factors, and sometimes the late onset of prenatal care at the maternity unit. CONCLUSION In view of this audit, the Perinatal Network of Pays de la Loire must work to improve the knowledge and screening practices for GDM among its professionals, by the repeated dissemination of these guidelines and chart review sessions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Often curative treatment for locally advanced resectable esophageal or gastro-esophageal junctional cancer consists of concurrent neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy followed by surgery. Currently, one of the most commonly used chemotherapy regimens in this setting is a combination of a fluoropyrimidin and of a platinum analogue. Due to the promising results of the recent CROSS trial, another regimen combining paclitaxel and carboplatin is also widely used by European and American centers. No clinical study has shown the superiority of one treatment over the other. The objective of this Phase II study is to clarify clinical practice by comparing these two chemotherapy treatments. Our aim is to evaluate, in operable esophageal and gastro-esophageal junctional cancer, the complete resection rate and severe postoperative morbidity rate associated with these two neoadjuvant chemotherapeutic regimens (carboplatin-paclitaxel or fluorouracil-oxaliplatin-folinic acid) when each is combined with the radiation regime utilized in the CROSS trial. METHODS/DESIGN PROTECT is a prospective, randomized, multicenter, open arms, phase II trial. Eligible patients will have a histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma and be treated with neoadjuvant radiochemotherapy followed by surgery for stage IIB or stage III resectable esophageal cancer. A total of 106 patients will be randomized to receive either 3 cycles of FOLFOX combined to concurrent radiotherapy (41.4 Grays) or carboplatin and paclitaxel with the same radiation regimen, using a 1:1 allocation ratio. DISCUSSION This ongoing trial offers the unique opportunity to compare two standards of chemotherapy delivered with a common regimen of preoperative radiation, in the setting of operable locally advanced esophageal or gastro-esophageal junctional tumors. TRIAL REGISTRATION NCT02359968 (ClinicalTrials.gov) (registration date: 9 FEB 2015), EudraCT: 2014-000649-62 (registration date: 10 FEB 2014).

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to assess the prognostic value of different parameters on pretreatment fluorodeoxyglucose [((18)F)-FDG] positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) in patients with localized oesophageal cancer. PATIENTS AND METHOD We retrospectively reviewed 83 cases of localised oesophageal cancer treated in our institution. Patients were treated with curative intent and have received chemoradiotherapy alone or followed by surgery. Different prognostic parameters were correlated to survival: cancer-related factors, patient-related factors and parameters derived from PET-CT (maximum standardized uptake value [SUV max], metabolically active tumor volume either measured with an automatic segmentation software ["fuzzy locally adaptive bayesian": MATVFLAB] or with an adaptive threshold method [MATVseuil] and total lesion glycolysis [TLGFLAB and TLGseuil]). RESULTS The median follow-up was 21.8 months (range: 0.16-104). The median overall survival was 22 months (95% confidence interval [95%CI]: 15.2-28.9). There were 67 deaths: 49 associated with cancer and 18 from intercurrent causes. None of the tested factors was significant on overall survival. In univariate analysis, the following three factors affected the specific survival: MATVFLAB (P=0.025), TLGFLAB (P=0.04) and TLGseuil (P=0.04). In multivariate analysis, only MATVFLAB had a significant impact on specific survival (P=0.049): MATVFLAB<18 cm(3): 31.2 months (95%CI: 21.7-not reached) and MATVFLAB>18 cm(3): 20 months (95%CI: 11.1-228.9). CONCLUSION The metabolically active tumour volume measured with the automatic segmentation software FLAB on baseline PET-CT was a significant prognostic factor, which should be tested on a larger cohort.

Abstract
In completely resected non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients with pathologically involved mediastinal lymph nodes (N2), administration of adjuvant platinum-based chemotherapy is now considered the standard of care, based on level 1 evidence. The role of post-operative radiotherapy (PORT) in this group of patients remains controversial. In the PORT meta-analysis published in 1998, the conclusions were that if adjuvant radiotherapy was detrimental to patients with early-stage completely resected NSCLC, the role of PORT in the treatment of tumours with N2 involvement was unclear and further research was warranted. Recent retrospective and non-randomized studies as well as subgroup analyses of recent randomized trials evaluating adjuvant chemotherapy, provide evidence of the possible benefit of PORT in patients with mediastinal nodal involvement. The question of PORT indication is also valid for those patients with proven N2 disease who undergo neo-adjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery. The risk of local recurrence for N2 patients varies between 20% and 60%. Based on currently available data, PORT should be discussed for fit patients with completely resected NSCLC with N2 nodal involvement, within a multidisciplinary setting, preferably after completion of adjuvant chemotherapy or after surgery if patients have had neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. There is need for new randomized evidence to reassess PORT using modern three-dimensional conformal radiation technique, with attention to normal organ sparing, particularly lung and heart, to reduce the possible additional toxicity. Randomized evidence is needed. A new large international multi-institutional randomized trial Lung ART evaluating PORT in this patient population is now underway, as well as a Chinese study comparing postoperative sequential chemotherapy followed by radiotherapy versus adjuvant chemotherapy alone.

Abstract
Urothelial carcinomas of the upper urinary tract are rare entities. Surgery remains the mainstay of the management. The use of others therapeutic modalities is not clearly defined yet. However, the frequency of local recurrence and locoregional encourage us to evaluate the indication of adjuvant therapies. We conducted a synthesis of key data in the literature on the use of chemotherapy and radiotherapy in the treatment of urothelial carcinoma of the renal pelvis and ureter. A literature search on PubMed was performed using the following keywords (MeSH) "urothelial carcinoma", "upper urinary tract", "radiation", "chemotherapy", and adjuvant.

Abstract
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a method of choice for follow-up of irradiated brain metastasis. It is difficult to differentiate local tumour recurrences from radiation induced-changes in case of suspicious contrast enhancement. New advanced MRI techniques (perfusion and spectrometry) and amino acid positron-emission tomography (PET) allow to be more accurate and could avoid a stereotactic biopsy for histological assessment, the only reliable but invasive method. We report the case of a patient who underwent surgery for a single, left frontal brain metastasis of a breast carcinoma, followed by adjuvant stereotactic radiotherapy in the operative bed. Seven months after, she presented a local change in the irradiated area on the perfusion-weighted MRI, for which the differentiation between a local tumour recurrence and radionecrosis was not possible. PET with 2-deoxy-((18)F)-fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) revealed a hypermetabolic lesion. After surgical resection, the histological assessment has mainly recovered radionecrosis with few carcinoma cells. The multimodal MRI has greatly contributed to refine the differential diagnosis between tumour recurrence and radionecrosis, which remains difficult. The FDG PET is helpful, in favour of the diagnosis of local tumour recurrence when a hypermetabolic lesion is found. Others tracers (such as carbon 11 or a fluoride isotope) deserve interest but are not available in all centres. Stereotactic biopsy should be discussed if any doubt remains.

Abstract
Radiotherapy plays a central role in the management of localized prostate cancer, but the total duration of treatment of nearly 2 months poses not only problems of fatigue related to repetitive transports, especially for older patients, but also increases the overall cost of treatment including linear accelerators occupancy and patient transportation. To address this problem, various teams have developed hypofractionated radiotherapy protocols seeking to maintain the same efficacy and toxicity while reducing the total duration of treatment. These hypofractionated protocols require recent techniques such as image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT). Single centre series have validated the feasibility of "light" hypofractionation schemes at doses per fraction less than 6 Gy Similarly, different teams have shown the possibility of stereotactic irradiation for delivering "severe" hypofractionation schemes at doses greater than 6 Gy per fraction. Whatever the dose per fraction, the current clinical data support the conclusion that hypofractionated radiotherapy does not increase mid-term toxicity and could even improve biochemical control. Studies with the objective of demonstrating non-inferiority are expected to definitively validate the role of hypofractionated irradiation in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Evaluation of perioperative treatment of keloid scars with electron beam therapy or iridium 192 low dose rate brachytherapy. PATIENTS AND METHODS From 1994 to 2010, 95 patients with 142 keloid scars have been treated by immediate perioperative irradiation and retrospectively reviewed in our institute: 116 scars were treated by electrontherapy and 26 by brachytherapy. RESULTS In the electrontherapy group treated locations were: earlobe (n=88, 76%), thorax (n=14, 12%), neck (n=9, 8%), limbs (n=5, 4%). The median size of lesions was 3cm (range [R]: 0.5-18cm). In 95.6% of cases, a dose of 15Gy was delivered in five fractions of 3Gy. The median follow-up was 70 months (R: 7-161 months). The 2-year and 5-year local control were respectively 69% (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 59-76%) and 55% (95% CI: 45-64%). In the brachytherapy group treated locations were: neck (n=3, 11%), earlobe (n=8, 32%), abdomen (n=3, 11%), thorax (n=2, 8%), limbs (n=10, 38%). The median size of lesions was 6.6cm (R: 1.7-28cm). The median dose delivered at 5mm from the source was 20Gy (R: 15-20.69). The median follow-up was 113 months (R: 21-219 months). The 2-year and 5-year local control were respectively 84.6% (95% CI: 64-94%) and 73.5% (95% CI: 49-87%). So far, no radiation-induced cancer has occurred. A trend to a better local control with brachytherapy was noted (compared to electrontherapy, 2-year relapse is halved with brachytherapy) though this difference did not reach the significance (P=0.0991), probably due to the reduced number of patients in the brachytherapy group. CONCLUSION Brachytherapy seems to provide better local control compared to electrontherapy, and should be proposed as first line treatment. However, electrontherapy is an interesting alternative in case of difficulty to realize brachytherapy. There is probably a dose effect: according to published data, 25 to 30Gy should at least be proposed.

PURPOSE To propose an alternative approach for treatment of pulmonary marginal zone lymphoma, using a very small radiation dose (2 × 2 Gy) delivered exclusively to tumor sites. METHODS AND MATERIALS Patients had localized pulmonary mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma according to the World Health Organization classification. The 6-MV radiation treatments were delivered using tumor-limited fields, except in cases of diffuse bilateral involvement. Two daily fractions of 2 Gy were delivered to tumor-limited fields using a 6-MV linear accelerator. RESULTS Ten patients with pulmonary MALT lymphoma entered the study. All but 1 had localized tumor masses. The median follow-up was 56 months (range, 2-103 months). Complete remission or an unconfirmed complete remission was obtained in 60% of patients within the first 2 months, and two additional partial responses were converted into a long-term unconfirmed complete remission. All patients are well and alive, no local progression was observed, and the 5-year progression-free survival rate was 87.5% (95% confidence interval 49%-97%). CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that extremely low radiation doses delivered exclusively to tumor sites might be a treatment option in pulmonary MALT lymphoma.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the clinical outcome of the involved-node radiotherapy concept with the use of intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) in patients with localized supradiaphragmatic Hodgkin lymphoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients with early-stage supradiaphragmatic Hodgkin lymphoma were treated with chemotherapy prior to irradiation. Radiation treatments were delivered using the involved-node radiotherapy (INRT) concept according to the EORTC guidelines. Intensity modulated radiotherapy was performed free-breathing. RESULTS Forty-seven patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (44 patients with primary Hodgkin lymphoma and three patients with recurrent disease) entered the study from January 2003 to December 2010. The median age was 31 years (range 17 to 62). Thirty patients had stage I-IIA, 14 had stage I-IIB disease and three had relapse. Forty-two patients received three to six cycles of adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (ABVD). The median radiation dose to patients was 36 Gy (range: 20-40). Protection of various organs at risk was satisfactory. The median follow-up was 57.4 months (range: 5.4-94.3). For patients with primary Hodgkin lymphoma, the 5-year survival and 5-year progression-free survival rates were 96% (95% confidence interval: 80-99) and 92% (95% confidence interval: 78-97), respectively. None of the three patients with recurrent disease has relapsed. Recurrences occurred in three patients: one was in-field relapse and two were visceral recurrences. Grade 3 acute lung toxicity (transient pneumonitis) occurred in one case. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that patients with localized Hodgkin lymphoma can be safely and efficiently treated using the involved node irradiation concept and intensity modulated irradiation.

[Intensity modulated radiotherapy as adjuvant post-operative treatment for retroperitoneal sarcoma: acute toxicity]. Cancer Radiother 2011; 15:413-20. [PMID: 21737334 DOI: 10.1016/j.canrad.2011.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/19/2011] [Revised: 04/12/2011] [Accepted: 04/16/2011] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the acute toxicity of intensity modulated radiotherapy as post-operative adjuvant treatment for retroperitoneal sarcoma. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients who received adjuvant intensity modulated radiotherapy from January 2009 to September 2010 were retrospectively reviewed. RESULTS Fourteen patients entered the study (seven primary tumours and seven relapses). All tumours were liposarcoma and had macroscopically complete resection, epiploplasty was systematically realized. Median tumour size was 21 cm (range: 15-45), median planning target volume was 580 cm(3) (range: 329-1172) and median prescribed dose was 50.4 Gy (range: 45-54). Median follow-up was 11.5 months (range: 2-21.4). Acute toxicity was mild: acute digestive toxicity grade 1-2 occurred in 12/14 patients (86%). However, there was no weight loss of more than 5% during radiotherapy and no treatment interruption was required. Two months after completion of radiotherapy, digestive toxicity grade 1 remained present in 1/14 patients (7%). One case of grade 3 toxicity occurred during follow-up (transient abdominal pain). Three relapses occurred: two were outside treaded volume and one was both in and outside treated volume. CONCLUSIONS Intensity modulated radiotherapy in the postoperative setting of retroperitoneal sarcoma provides low acute toxicity. Longer follow-up is needed to assess late toxicity, especially for bowel, kidney and radio-induced malignancies.
