chemotherapy and procedure, fractionation (7, 8 or 9 Gy

/ fraction). The acute toxicity scale used was the RTOG /

EORTC. For the survival curve calculations were used

Kaplan- Mayer and Log-Rank test. To compare different

categories of the same variable was used chi-square test.

The significance level was 0.05.

Results

Were treated 51 patients, corresponding 110 lesions, 49%

patients had one lesion. The study showed median follow-

up of 8.00 months (2.42– 13.57). The overall survival (OS)

estimated at 6 and 12 months were 58% and 43%

respectively, with 84% non-neurologic deaths at 12

months. The primary sites were lung (39.2%), breast

(29.4%) and colon/rectum (15.7%). The 9 Gy/fractions was

the most used in 84.3% patients, 5.9% were treated with 8

Gy/fraction and 9.8% with 7 Gy/fraction. The median KPS

was 80% (50-100%). Of the DS-GPA found, 31.9% had 0 – 1,

38.3% was 1.5 - 2.5 and 3 – 4 in 29.8%. The most of the RPA

was 2 (45.1%). There were influence of the RPA and Ds-

GPA in overall survival. The local control estimated at 12

months was 81%. There wasn’t statistical significance

between local control with fraction, GTV and PTV volume,

WBRT and Primary tumor. Toxicity Grade 2 was 31 % (most

common was seizure, 16%). The regional recurrence free

survival were 69.2% and 43% in 6 and 12 months. There

were 3 patients with acute grade 3 CNS toxicity.

Radionecrosis was observed in 6% of patients until this

moment, and we had 2 “radiation Recall” episodes, after

FOLFOX chemotherapy. There weren’t relation between

toxicity and Radionecrosis with dosimetric and clinical

variables, as Conformity Index, Brain Volume receiving 24

Gy, number of lesions, fractionation, etc.

Conclusion

Until this moment, our trial showed that mSRS is safe and

feasibility, with excellent local control rates and low

toxicity. Despite the most patients showed regional

failure, out of field, death by neurologic causes was very

low, just 15%. More patients included and longer follow-

up must be help in improve and confirm the efficiency of

this strategy.

Purpose or Objective

To report long-term outcomes and toxicity rates after

chemotherapy (CHT) followed by radiotherapy (RT) in the

highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) era in human

immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive patients with head

and neck diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (HN-DLBCL).

Material and Methods

Clinical data concerning consecutive HIV patients treated

for DLBCL located in head and neck region with CHT and

RT between January 1995 and August 2010 were

retrospectively reviewed. Systemic treatment consisted of

combination CHT agents given with concomitant HAART

and regimen was left to oncologists’ discretion. Involved

field RT was delivered with a 3D-conformational technique

at a total dose of 30/36 Gy (2 Gy per fraction). Survival

rates were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method.

Toxicity was evaluated using National Cancer Institute’s

Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events.

Results

Overall, 13 patients were included. There were no missing

data. Seven patients had limited disease (stage I = 3; stage

II = 4) and 6 patients had stage IV disease. Primary tumour

location was sinus (n = 4), oral cavity (n = 7), nasopharynx

(n = 1) and larynx (n = 1). All patients completed the

programmed treatment.

Overall, 4 patients had died. No treatment-related deaths

were recorded. The 10-year, 15-year and 20-year overall

survival (OS) rates were 87.5% (95% confidence interval

[CI] 0.387 – 0.981), 62.5% (95% CI 0.229 – 0.861) and 50%

(95% CI 0.152 – 0.775), respectively. Median OS was 168

months. Details are shown in Figure 1. In total, only 1

patient had local relapse, 10 years after the end of RT.

The patient received CHT and is still alive without

evidence of disease. No patients had developed distant

metastasis.

Globally, there were no RT-related late complications.

One patient had a second cancer arising from cervix, 5

years after the end of treatment.

Conclusion

This data analysis suggested that CHT followed by RT can

be safety proposed in the management of patients with

HIV-related HN-DLBCL in the HAART era. Combined

modality therapy reduced local recurrence rates and

achieved a high response rate, without chronic toxicity.

Purpose or Objective

Primary CNS lymphoma(PCNSL) is a rare and aggressive

brain tumor with poor prognosis. Patients are primarily

treated with high dose chemotherapy while radiotherapy

plays a role as consolidation after chemotherapy. Total

dose and fractionation are not well established.

In patients older than 60 years the incidence is higher with

a worse outcome. The management of these patients is

critical because a standard is lacking and treatments are

associated with a higher toxicity.

We evaluated efficacy and tolerance in patients with

PCNSL treated with whole brain radiotherapy because

unfit for chemotherapy or with recurrence/ no response

after chemotherapy treatment.

Material and Methods

From April 2010 to December 2014, fifteen consecutive

patients with hystologically proven PCNSL underwent

whole brain 3-dimensional conformal radiotherapy at our

institution. One patients was excluded because lost to

follow-up. Mean age was 59.7 and median age was

70(range 30-77). Median KPS was 60(range 50-90).

Two patients had a recurrence after a complete response

to upfront chemotherapy. The other 12 patients were

unfit for chemotherapy or had chemotherapy suspended

for toxicity or underwent chemotherapy with no response.

Median radiotherapy dose was 38,5 Gy(range 24-45),

median fraction dose was 2 (range 1,8-3 Gy) and median

number of fractions was 19(range 10-23).
