(36%) and retroperitoneal sarcomas (50%). With a median

follow-up of 70 months (range 12-92), the median DSS was

54 months (range 28-80). The 5-year actuarial OS, LC and

DSS were 71%, 68% and 44%, respectively. On univariate

analysis margin status of resection significantly affected

LC. For patient with resection R0, LC was 83% whereas no

patient with R1 resection obtained local control (p<0,01).

Toxicity presented in 11(27%) patients and pain was the

most common side-effect (64%) followed by enteritis

(18%).

Conclusion

IORT is an efficient method of salvage treatment to

improve LC in selected patients with isolated locally

recurrent tumors for recurrent pelvic or retroperitoneal

tumors, with acceptable incidence of morbidity.

Purpose or Objective

Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT)

and

targeted/immunotherapy play an increasingly important

role in personalized treatment of metastatic disease. The

combined application of both therapies is rapidly

expanding in daily clinical practice. Patients may benefit

from additive cytotoxic effects, but currently not much is

known regarding safety and the potential induction of

toxicity. Toxicity data from targeted/immunotherapy

combined with conventionally fractionated radiotherapy

cannot be extrapolated to SRT because of the differences

in physics and biology. The aim of our systematic review

was to summarize severe toxicity observed after

concurrent treatment.

Material and Methods

PubMed and EMBASE databases were searched for English

literature published up to april 2016 using keywords

'radiosurgery”, 'local ablative therapy”, 'gamma knife”

and 'stereotactic”, combined with 'bevacizumab”,

'cetuximab”, 'crizotinib”,

'erlotinib”,

'gefitinib”,

'ipilimumab”, 'lapatinib”, 'sorafenib”, 'sunitinib”,

'trastuzumab”, 'vemurafenib”, 'PLX4032”, 'panitumumab”,

'nivolumab”, 'pembrolizumab”, 'alectinib”, 'ceritinib”,

'dabrafenib”, 'trametinib”, 'BRAF”, 'TKI”, 'MEK”, 'PD1”,

'EGFR”, 'CTLA-4” or 'ALK”. Studies performing SRT during

or within 30 days of targeted/immunotherapy, reporting

severe (≥Grade 3) toxicity were included.

Results

A total of 49 studies were included. Of these, 13 (321

patients) were prospective studies, 27 (653 patients)

retrospective studies and 9 (16 patients) case reports. The

number of patients per study ranged from 1 to 106

(median 15). Targeted agents concurrent with cranial SRT

were tested in 34 studies and with extra-cranial SRT in 19

studies. For cranial SRT, severe toxicity was observed in

14% (89/644) of patients, for extra-cranial SRT in 16%

(84/524). Severe toxicity possibly related to cranial SRT or

extra-cranial SRT was observed in 6% (5.4% Gr3; 0.6% Gr4;

0% Gr5) and 9% (7.6% Gr3; 0.8% Gr4; 0.6% Gr5),

respectively. Overall, concurrent cranial SRT was well

tolerated, except when combined with BRAF-inhibitors

(severe toxicity in 20/75 patients (27%)). Furthermore,

there is a high risk of morbidity when extra-cranial SRT is

combined with EGFR-targeting tyrosine kinase inhibitors

and bevacizumab, which was not observed after cranial

SRT.

Conclusion

The currently available information concerning toxicity

after concurrent SRT and targeted/immunotherapy is

limited. The focus of published studies lies mainly on

concurrent cranial SRT, where the combination generally

is well tolerated. For extra-cranial SRT, no definitive

conclusions can be drawn. This review underlines the need

for clinical studies testing the combination of SRT and

targeted drugs/immune check point Inhibitors.

Purpose or Objective

Objective: Sexual dysfunction in people with cancer is a

significant problem. This guideline aimed to address the

following question: “What is the effectiveness of

pharmacologic interventions, psychosocial counselling or

devices to manage sexual problems after cancer

treatment?”

Material and Methods

Methods: This guideline was created with the support of

the Program in Evidence-Based Care. We searched for

existing systematic reviews, guidelines and relevant

primary literature from 2003-2015. Men and women were

evaluated separately. No restrictions were made on

cancer type or study design. When first approaching the

guideline the working group chose to focus on sexual

disorders commonly known to arise in people with cancer.

These included decreased desire, arousal disorders, pain

(in women) and erectile dysfunction (in men). Only studies

that evaluated the impact of an intervention on a sexual

function outcome were included.

Results

Results: The panel made one overarching recommendation

that there be a discussion with the patient, initiated by a

member of the health care team, regarding sexual health

and dysfunction resulting from the cancer or its

treatment. The Expert Panel felt that this is vital since the

additional recommendations cannot be used unless

someone has taken the initiative to ask. There were

numerous limitations of the existing literature. However,

we made additional recommendations on 11 outcomes: 6

for women (sexual response, body image,

intimacy/relationships,

overall

sexual

function/satisfaction, vasomotor symptoms, genital

symptoms) and 5 for men (sexual response, genital

changes,

intimacy/relationships,

overall

sexual

function/satisfaction, vasomotor symptoms). There is a

role for medication or devices in particular
