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).
