Aim

There are few data to inform on the use of response assessment 2-[fluorine-18]-fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) following radical radiotherapy without chemotherapy for head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). This retrospective study evaluated the accuracy of PET-CT in HNSCC following radical radiotherapy.

Materials and methods

In total, 138 patients with HNSCC treated with radical radiotherapy without chemotherapy who underwent a baseline and response assessment FDG PET-CT were identified. FDG PET-CT outcomes were analysed with reference to clinicopathological outcomes.

Results

The median follow-up was 26 months. FDG-avid disease at baseline was present for the primary site and lymph nodes in 118 and 86 patients, respectively. With regard to the primary tumour, the negative predictive value (NPV) of a complete metabolic response (CMR) was 95%; the positive predictive value (PPV) of equivocal uptake and a positive scan were 6% and 82%, respectively. The likelihood ratios for a CMR, equivocal and positive scans of the primary site were 0.19, 0.22, 14.8, respectively. With regard to lymph node disease, the NPV of a CMR was 91%, the PPV of equivocal uptake and a positive scan were 33% and 88%, respectively. Likelihood ratios for lymph node disease for CMR, equivocal and positive scans were 0.19, 0.97 and 15.1, respectively.

Conclusion

Compared with the accuracy reported in the literature following chemoradiotherapy, response assessment FDG PET-CT following radical radiotherapy without chemotherapy had a similarly high NPV, whereas the PPV following a positive scan was higher.  相似文献

Aims

Node-positive prostate cancer is a unique subgroup, with varied practice on locoregional treatment. Definitive treatment with hypofractionated radiotherapy has not been widely reported. We have routinely used standard regimens of hypofractionated radiotherapy for node-positive disease and report our results of toxicity, biochemical control and survival.

Materials and methods

Medical records of patients diagnosed with prostate cancer between February 2011 and April 2016 with radiologically involved pelvic nodes on magnetic resonance imaging/computed tomography without distant metastases were analysed. All patients were treated with long-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and hypofractionated radiotherapy. Acute and late toxicities were assessed using Radiation Therapy Oncology Group acute and late morbidity scoring criteria. Biochemical control and survival were computed using Kaplan–Meier survival statistics.

Results

In total, 61 patients were identified with node-positive disease, with a median age of 68 years and a median initial prostate-specific antigen level of 40.1 ng/ml. Most, 50 (81.9%), had T3 disease; 47.6% had Gleason 8–10 disease. All were treated with hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiotherapy, predominantly 60 Gy/20 fractions/4 weeks, with a dose of 44 Gy/20 fractions to the pelvic nodes. Twenty-five patients (41%) who had residual radiologically enlarged nodes after 3–6 months of ADT received nodal boost to the involved nodes, to a dose of 54–60 Gy as simultaneous boost. Incidences of late grade 2 + gastrointestinal and genitourinary toxicities were 13.1 and 18%, respectively, with no grade 4 toxicities. With a median follow-up of 48 months, 15 (24.6%) patients developed biochemical failure, with only four locoregional failures. The 4-year biochemical control rate was 77.5% and overall survival was 91%. Patients who had residual enlarged nodes after initial ADT had worse biochemical control (53.9% versus 93.1% at 4 years, P < 0.001).

Conclusion

Moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy using an established fractionation schedule with long-term ADT for node-positive prostate cancer patients is feasible and results in excellent biochemical control rates at 4 years, with acceptable late toxicity rates. The response to initial ADT predicts outcomes.  相似文献

Introduction

Use of deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) radiation therapy may reduce long-term cardiac mortality. The resource and time commitments associated with DIBH are impediments to its widespread adoption. We report the dosimetric benefits, workforce requirements, and potential reduction in cardiac mortality when DIBH is used for left-sided breast cancers.

Methods and materials

Data regarding the time consumed for planning and treating 50 patients with left-sided breast cancer with DIBH and 20 patients treated with free breathing (FB) radiation therapy were compiled prospectively for all personnel (regarding person-hours [PH]). A second plan was generated for all DIBH patients in the FB planning scan, which was then compared with the DIBH plan. Mortality reduction from use of DIBH was calculated using the years of life lost resulting from ischemic heart disease for Indians and the postulated reduction in risk of major cardiac events resulting from reduced cardiac dose.

Results

The median reduction in mean heart dose between the DIBH and FB plans was 166.7 cGy (interquartile range, 62.7-257.4). An extra 6.76 PH were required when implementing DIBH as compared with FB treatments. Approximately 3.57 PH were necessary per Gy of reduction in mean heart dose. The excess years of life lost from ischemic heart disease if DIBH was not done in was 0.95 per 100 patients, which translates into a saving of 12.8 hours of life saved per PH of work required for implementing DIBH. DIBH was cost effective with cost for implementation of DIBH for all left-sided breast cancers at 2.3 times the annual per capita gross domestic product.

Conclusion

Although routine implementation of DIBH requires significant resource commitments, it seems to be worthwhile regarding the projected reductions in cardiac mortality.  相似文献
