was in breast, lung, colorectal and kidney. Performance

status of patients was 0-1 according ECOG-scale. All

patients have previously radically treated primary tumor

and no more than 3-4 distant metastatic lesion by the

moment of treatment. Patients receive radiosurgery or

hypofractined irradiation in a single dose 6-20 Gy and total

summary dose 20-60 Gy by using CyberKhife system.

Results

In 31 patients with distant metastases in brain, lung, liver,

renal and epinephrine after local ablative radiosurgery we

registered full tumor regression during 2-6 years. The

existence of this group of patients clinically confirms

molecular differences between higher and low metastatic

potential tumors. That is why previously shown genetic

features of oligometastatic tumors change our ideas about

possibilities of active local treatment in cases of

metastatic disease.

Conclusion

Thus, our observations clinically confirm the existence of

group of patients with oligometastatic tumor disease

caused by specific genomic changes in tumor cells. In such

cases, local ablative radiosurgery with precision and high

doses of radiation could be curative.

Purpose or Objective

To retrospectively assess the efficacy and toxicity of a

total skin electron beam therapy (TSEBT) in patients with

primary cutaneous T-cell lymphoma at various stages of

development.

Material and Methods

Treatment results of 40 patients (8 female, 32 male) in

median age 60 years (from 40-84 years), with primary

cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides), stage IB-

III, treated between 2001 and 2013 were reviewed. All

patients were symptomatic. The median total dose was

32Gy (range 12-40Gy), applied with 1,5 Gy per day four

times weekly for the whole skin.

Results

The median follow-up was 60 months. A clinical complete

response was documented in 29 (72.5%) and a partial

response in 11 patients (27.5%). The clinical response

significantly influenced on the overall survival (OS)

(p=0.002) and progression-free survival (PFS) (p<0.001).

The mean OS was 76 months. The mean PFS was 48.9

months and the actuarial one-, two- year PFS were 67.5%,

55%. The statistically significant correlation was found

between partial and total remission time and the stages

of lymphoma (p=0.015). The side effects were observed in

all patients during the treatment and include: erythema,

skin dryness and desquamation, pruritus, onycholysis and

alopecia.

Conclusion

For palliation of symptomatic cutaneous lymphoma, total

skin electron beam therapy is well tolerated and an

efficient treatment.

Purpose or Objective

Bone metastases cause pain, suffering and impaired

quality of life (QOL). Palliative radiotherapy (RT) is an

effective method in controlling pain, reducing analgesics

use and improving QOL. This study goal was to investigate

the changes in QOL scores among patients who responded

to RT.

Material and Methods

A prospective study evaluating the role of radiation

therapy in a public hospital in São Paulo-Brazil recorded

patients’ opioid use, pain score, Portuguese version of

QLQ-BM22 and QLQ-C30 before and 2 months after

radiotherapy. Analgesic use and pain score were used to

calculate international pain response category. Overall

response was defined as the sum of complete response

(CR) and partial response (PR). CR was defined as pain

score of 0 with no increase in analgesic intake whereas PR

was defined as pain reduction ≥ 2 without analgesic

increase or analgesic reduction in ≥25% without increase

in pain at the treated site.

Results

From September 2014 to October 2015, 25 patients with

bone metastases responded to RT (1 CR, 24PR). There

were 8 male and 17 female patients. The median age and

ECOG of the 25 patients was 57 years old (range 22 to 89)

and 2 (range 0 to 3), respectively. Patient’s primary

cancer site was breast (11), prostate (5), lung (2), others

(7). For QLQ-BM 22, the mean scores of 4 categories at

baseline were: Pain site (PS) 39, Pain characteristics (PC)

61, Function Interference (FI) 49 and Psycho-social aspects

(PA) 57. At 2 month follow up, the scores were PS 27, PC

37, FI 70 and PA 59. Statistical significant improvement

(p<0.05) was seen in PS, PC, FI but not PA. In the QLQ-

C30, the mean scores were not statistically different for

all categories, except for pain that demonstrated a 29

point decrease in the pain score domain (69 to 40).

Conclusion

Responders to RT at 2 month presented improvement in

BM22 and C30 pain domains, and also improvement in

functional interference if BM22 questionnaire. Patients

with painful bone metastases may receive palliative

radiation therapy to improve both pain and QOL.
