present , with a 17 months follow-up, she is still in clinical

and radiological complete remission with good

performance status and quality of life.

Conclusion

This is the first reported case of meningeal metastasis in

SS patients. In contrast with previous reports, our patient

didn't present with advanced or aggressive disease. Our

report reinforces the hypothesis of a possible

neurotropism of malignant cells in MF and SS. CNS

involvement could be evaluated in patients with

unexplained neurologic symptoms or neuropathic pain,

that are not unusual. Although a poor outcome is expected

in these patients, we reported a long term complete

response with impact on quality of life and survival with

VMAT craniospinal irradiation.

marrow Irradiation

Purpose or Objective

We are currently investigating the feasibility of adding

linac based total marrow irradiation (TMI) with

myeloablative chemotherapy prior to stem cell transplant.

Here we report our initial clinical experience regarding

patient setup error and its dosimetric consequences.

Material and Methods

7 patients with advanced hematological malignancies

were treated according to our institutional phase I clinical

trial designed to evaluate the feasibility of IMTMI in

addition to preconditioning chemotherapy regimen.

Patients were immobilized using a customized whole body

mold. The bones are contoured and a 3 mm margin is

added to obtain PTV. Three separate treatment plans, for

the head and neck, chest, and pelvic were generated.

Plans were optimized for 95% PTV coverage with the 95%

of prescription dose. Positioning and alignment of all three

isocenters were confirmed prior to each treatment with

megavoltage orthogonal port films. Residual setup errors

of each patient and each fraction were retrospectively

analyzed by co-registering port films and digitally

reconstructed radiographs. Dosimetric consequences of

setup errors were evaluated by shifting the isocenters

based on the determined setup errors. We applied

previously determined actual isocenter shifts for each

session and recalculated dose distributions to determine

delivered dose distributions. Simulated dose distributions

were then compared with the planned dose distributions.

Results

Setup errors were less than 5 mm, more specifically, they

were, on average, 3.1±0.7 mm, 2.3±0.8 mm, 3.2±0.8 mm

in vertical, longitudinal, and lateral directions,

respectively. Maximum vectoral displacement was 4.6

mm. When the determined isocenter shifts were applied

and the new dose distributions were calculated, the bone

marrow volume that received the 95% of the prescription

dose (V

95

) was reduced from 99.4% (±0.7%) to 96.8%

(±1.3%), on average. The mean lung dose and the mean

PTV dose changed less than 5%. The change in the

maximum dose ranged between 6% and 19%.

Conclusion

Linac-based IMTMI is clinically feasible affording

significant OAR sparing in a combined chemo-RT

treatment. Based on our clinical experience with the first

7 patients in this study, we found a 3 mm bone to PTV

expansion was adequate to accurately target bone marrow

in IM-TMI

treatments.

Purpose or Objective

We report preliminary results from a clinical trial aimed

to evaluate the incidence of in-breast tumour recurrence

(IBR) and the acute and late toxicity in patients affected

by early breast cancer (BC), undergoing conservative

surgery and electron intraoperative radiation (ELIOT)

boost, followed by hypofractionated external beam

radiotherapy (EBRT).

Material and Methods

From February 2012 to January 2016, 83 early BC patients

underwent conservative surgery and ELIOT boost, followed

by EBRT at Papa Giovanni XXIII Hospital in Bergamo (Italy).

Patients inclusion criteria are: infiltrating carcinoma

histology (T1-2, N0-1, M0), unifocality or multifocality

(maximum distance between two lesions ≤ 2 cm), PS

(ECOG) ≤ 2, age > 18, premenopausal status.

ELIOT boost was delivered for all patients at the level of

tumour bed by a dedicated linear accelerator NOVAC 7

HITESYS (NRT, Italy), using 9 MeV electron beam, a single

dose

of

12

Gy

at

90%.

EBRT was given at the whole breast in 13 daily fractions of

2.85

Gy.

Fifteen patients underwent adjuvant chemotherapy and

74

patients

underwent

hormone

therapy.

IBR is any local relapse within the treated breast. Acute

and late toxicity were assessed using RTOG toxicity scale.

Results

Forty-seven patients (56.6%) started EBRT boost in 28 days

after

ELIOT boost procedure.

Current median follow up was 23 months and is too short

to

evidence any

IBR.

After ELIOT, 2 patients underwent mastectomy, after the

identification of another breast metachronous nodule and

BRCA1 mutation respectively. Four patients underwent

conventional scheduled EBRT: 3 for the presence of

unfavourable prognostic disease factors as discovered on

the surgical specimen and 1 for severe post-surgical side

effects.

Most patients had slight local post-surgical oedema: 1

patient had necrosis of the scar area. After EBRT, slight

skin erythema (G1) was evidenced in all patients.

Considering late toxicity, slight scar fibrosis (G1) was

assessed in most patients: 1 patient showed scar

retraction and 1 dehiscence of surgical scar.

Conclusion

The advantages of the ELIOT-boost followed by

hypofractionated EBRT in early BC are the reduction of

treatment duration and skin toxicity with better cosmetic

results, the delineation of tumour bed under direct visual

and palpable evaluation, no adjuvant chemotherapy delay

and the immediate inhibition of cells repopulation. With

these preliminary results, it seems to be manageable with

acceptable acute toxicity. A longer follow up is needed in

order to show IBR and late effects rate.
