contrast-enhancing regions. Inter-rater reliability was

evaluated by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).

BTVs with a threshold of 1.6 and a union of these BTVs

with the consensus MRI-based GTVs were compared to the

consensus GTVs only. OTP-Masterplan

®

was used for

treatment planning. Dice coefficients and conformity

indices were used for comparing the consensus GTVs and

BTVs and for the union of consensus GTV plus BTV with the

original planning target volume (PTV).

Results

PET-MR imaging conducted prior to re-irradiation of 7

high-grade glioma patients (2 WHO grade III, 5 WHO grade

IV) was used for this planning study with three

independent raters. Median follow-up from initial

diagnosis was 52 months and median post-recurrence

survival 13 months. Median age at the beginning of re-

irradiation was 54 years and median KPS 80. Median post-

recurrence progression-free survival from the beginning of

re-irradiation was 8 months. Six patients received

bevacizumab concomitantly to re-irradiation and 1 patient

temozolomide. Median GTV volume ranged from 35 to 40.5

cc, median consensus GTV volume of all three raters was

41.8 cc, median BTV 36.6 cc and the union of consensus

GTV and BTV in median 59.3 cc. The ICC between the

raters was on average measures 0.96, 0.96 and 0.97. The

dice coefficient between the consensus GTV and the BTV

was in median 0.61 and the conformity index 0.44. The

dice coefficient between the union of consensus GTV and

BTV with a margin of 8 mm and the original PTV was

median 0.84 and the conformity index in median 0.73.

Conclusion

PET-MRI derived BTVs may help to adjust the margin at

treatment planning of recurrent high-grade glioma re-

irradiation and reduce inter-rater variability. The most

prominent advantage of this imaging modality is the „one-

stop-shop' including two coregistered imaging modalities

of

high

quality.

Purpose or Objective

Concomitant temozolomide (TMZ) therapy has been

established as first line treatment of malignant gliomas

after several studies had shown better survival outcomes.

These studies have largely been performed with patients

with unifocal lesions. Our study aims to investigate the

role of temozolomide therapy in multifocal glioblastoma

(GBM) along with radiotherapy by comparing differences

in survival rates of patients with unifocal GBM (uGBM) and

multifocal GBM (mGBM).

Material and Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 265 patients with primary

GBM undergoing radiation therapy at the Department of

Radiation Oncology, Heidelberg University Hospital

between 2004 and 2013. Of these, 202 (76%) were uGBMs

and 63 (24%) were mGBMs. 133 (65%) with uGBM and 43

(68%) with mGBM received concomitant treatment with

TMZ. First, progression-free survival (PFS) and overall

survival (OS) between groups were compared using the

Kaplan-Meier method. Second, univariate and multivariate

Cox proportional hazards regression was applied to discern

prognostic factors including TMZ with PFS and OS in the

cohorts.

Results

Hundred ninety-five patients (73%) experienced tumor

progression on follow-up MRI scans performed after

radiation therapy. Patients with mGBM experienced

significantly worse

OS of 11.5 months

(range 1.6 - 25

months) as compared to patients with uGBM with an

OS of

14.8 months

(range 1 – 55.9 months) (

p=0.032)

, with

similar patient characteristics in both Groups. There were

no significant differences in PFS between the respective

groups (6.5 versus 6.6 months, p=0.750).

Concomitant TMZ therapy was associated with

significantly better OS in mGBM (

8.3 vs 14.2 months, p =

0.006

) and uGBM (11.7 vs 17.0 months, p<0.001).

Univariate and multivariate analyses for OS revealed a

negative prognostic effect for multifocal disease (p<0.001)

and a positive prognostic effect for concomitant TMZ

treatment in mGBM (p=0.008) and uGBM (p < 0.001).

Conclusion

Patients with mGBM generally experienced significantly

worse overall survival than patients with uGBM after

radiation therapy. Concomitant TMZ treatment improved

OS of patients with mGBM and uGBM by approximately five

months.

Purpose or Objective

Despite the increasing systemic treatment for breast

cancer (BC), CNS metastases represent one of most

aggressive conditions of metastatic disease. The prognosis

became very diverse with regard to molecular subtypes of

the primary disease. The current study aims to assess the

survival benefit and pattern of intracranial progress of BC

patients with brain metastasis (BM) after whole-brain

radiotherapy (WBRT).

Material and Methods

A total of 79 consecutive BCBM, who were diagnosed and

treated with WBRT between Jan 2010 and Mar 2016 were

studied. All of them were diagnosed with primary invasive

ductal carcinoma. Molecular subtypes were defined in 77

patients, as following: Luminal A-like (n=14), Luminal B-

like (n=26), HER-2 positive non-luminal (n=13) and Triple

Negative (TN) (n=24).

Results

The median patient age at the diagnosis of BM was 49 years

(range 22–77 years) and the median KPS at BM was 80. The

median time to BM (TTBM) was 36 months (range 0-232

months). Sixty-five patients received upfront WBRT and 14

received WBRT subsequent to SBRT. Systemic treatment

were administered to 50 patients after WBRT, including

endocrine therapy in 10 patients, chemotherapy in 42

patients, anti-HER2 therapy in 14 patients.

The time to BM in patients with HER-2 positive was shorter

than Luminal-A like (20.5 vs. 89.0months

p <0.001).

Median overall survival (OS) after BM was significantly

associated with Breast-GPA 0-1, 1.5-2, 2.5-3 and 3.5-4

were 4.3, 14.0, 14.8 and18.2 months, respectively (p

=0.012, fig A). Univariate analysis found that KPS at the

diagnosis of BM, infra-tentorial metastases, total doses

and systemic therapy after WBRT were significantly

associated with OS after BM (p< 0.05). The multivariate

analysis showed infra-tentorial metastases, total doses

and systemic therapy after WBRT were independent

prognostic factors for OS after BM(p <0.05).

The median OS was significantly improved in HER-2 +

patients receiving anti-HER2 therapy after WBRT (25.4 vs.

5.6 months, p = 0.040). Also, the median OS was

significantly improved in GPA 1.0-2.0 patients who

received upfront WBRT (14 vs. 7.9 months, p = 0.012). The

proportion of occurrence of intracranial progress for
