liquid tissue marker (BioXmark®, Nanovi®, Copenhagen,

DK ) to define the local cavity for the purpose for defining

a boost volume or a target volume suitable for APBI.

Material and Methods

Preclinical investigations how to apply BioXMark® liquid

marker best for visualization by computer tomography

were performed. Subsequently, thirteen patients

underwent lumpectomy for limited stage breast cancer

disease and the tumor cavity was marked with the liquid

marker as well as a surgical clip. All patients were older

than 50 yrs, and all patients presented with hormone-

receptor positive disease less than 3 cm, pN0 and all were

potentially suitable for APBI. The tumor cavity was

marked immediately after resection with BioXmark® and

surgical clips. The liquid marker was placed before any

oncoplasty-manipulation was performed in three patients

analysed. A planning CT was performed 4-5 weeks after

surgery. The boost volume was defined, according to the

metal clips and the area marked by BioXmark.

Results

In preclincal studies a phantom was used to see that the

liquid marker sprayed over several square centimeters

achieved best Imaging qualities on comptuer

tomgraphy. Thus, applying a film of liqud marker over the

surface of interest was chosen for further clincal

investigations. Seven patients were analysed by the time

of submission. The tumor cavity was clearly marked for

the purpose of tumor cavity segmentation in six out

of seven cases. In one patient, the marker was not

reliabely discrimiated from the glandular tissue. The mean

volume or the tumor bed was 22,69 ml (range 8,1 - 40,96).

In respect to the metal clips placed on the thoracic wall

after lumpectomy, considerable displacement of the boost

target volume after oncoplasty was visualized.

Conclusion

Visualization of the tumor cavity can improve on the

accuracy of the target volume definition for APBI and may

allow optimizing PTV margins. Further investigation is

justified to reveal clinical utility of liquid-marker- based

target volume definition after lumpectomy.

Purpose or Objective

To evaluate whole breast 3D conformal radiotherapy (RT)

delivered in lateral decubitus position (Isocentric Lateral

Dubitus ILD) and report the acute and the late cardiac and

pulmonary toxicity of a cohort of patients treated with

ILD.

Material and Methods

From 2006 to 2010, 832 patients with early-stated breast

cancer treated by conservative surgery underwent 3D-

conformal whole breast RT in the lateral decubitus

position at Institut Curie. All types of cup size was

included. The acute toxicity of treatement was evaluated

weekly using NCI CTC v3.0 scale, and the late toxicity was

evaluated once a year and started one year after the end

of RT. A dosimetric study was performed to analyse the

mean cardiac dose and the mean homolateral and

controlateral lung doses.

Results

median of follow up is 6.4 years, median age is 61,5 years

(min29-max90), and median body mass index is 26.3. 51%

have left breast cancer and 49% have right breast cancer.

Different type of fraction/dose were performed : 46.5%

66Gy in 33 fractions, 17.9% 50Gy in 25 fractions, 26.1% 40

or 41.6Gy in 15 or 13 fractions and 30Gy in 5 fractions.

Acute epidermitis was present in 93% with a median of

apparition of 4 weeks, and only 2,8% grade 3. In

multivariate analysis, the cup size has signicative

influence (p=0,0004) and the fractionation has a

significative influence (p=0,0001). After one year 94.1%

had no epidermitis. No cardiac or pulmonary toxicity was

reported. For normofractionation (2Gy fractions, 50 Gy on

the whole breast and 16Gy boost on the tumor bed) : Mean

dose to homolatéral lung (HL) is 1,4 Gy (min 0,63 Gy-max

3 Gy), mean dose to controlateral lung (CL) is 0,07Gy

(min0,37Gy-max1Gy) mean cardiac dose is 1,14 Gy

(min0,54 Gy – max4 Gy). In hypofractionation : for 41,6Gy

in 13 fractions schedule : mean dose to HL is 0,87Gy

(min0,38 Gy-max5 Gy), mean dose to CL is 0,03 Gy (min0,3

Gy-max3 Gy) mean cardiac dose is 0,77 Gy (min0,38 Gy-

max9 Gy). For 40 Gy en 15 fractions schedule : mean dose

to HL is 0,96 Gy (min0,38 Gy-max4 Gy), mean dose to CL

is 0,04 Gy (min0,02 Gy-max2,28 Gy) mean cardiac dose is

0,74Gy (min0,3 Gy-max1 Gy). In the 28,5Gy en 5 fractions

schedule : Mean dose to HL is 0,53Gy (min0,26Gy-

max3Gy), mean dose to CL is 0Gy (min0 Gy-max0,4 Gy)

mean cardiac dose is 0,37Gy (min0,6 Gy-max5 Gy). Median

overall survival is not reached, there is no influence of

fractionation on overall survival. Relapse-free survival is

not reached, with only 36 relapses without influence of

fractionation.

Conclusion

whole breast radiotherapy in the lateral decubitus position

provides excellent results with very low mean cardiac dose

and mean pulmonary dose. There is no cardiac or

pulmonary toxicity in this study. And it’s also very well

tolerated with very good acute toxicity profile.

Purpose or Objective

This is a dosimetric study aiming at evaluation of radiation

doses to risk organs particularly (brachial plexus, coronary

artery & thyroid gland) in previously treated breast cancer

cases at Kasr Alaini Center of Clinical Oncology & Nuclear

Medicine after left Breast Conservative Surgery (BCS)

Our aim was to identify the patients' subgroups in need for

routine delineation of these risk organs to avoid toxic

doses to them.

Material and Methods

Twenty five female patients with left BCS treated with

external beam radiotherapy to the left breast and

supraclavicular region. Delineation of the coronaries was

done according to the University of Michigan Medical

Center; while the brachial plexus was delineated

according to the RTOG guidelines. Patient measures like

body mass index (BMI), mid beam cut separation, Central

lung distance, Maximum heart distance (MHD) and doses

to risk organs were documented (Heart V

Results

Age of the patients ranged from 35years to 70 years

(median=54years). BMI ranged from 22.1 to 47.6

(mean=34.2±6.7). MHD mean value was 2.9±1.1cm while

the heart V

mean value was 3.44±3.59% with heart D

mean

range from 1.2 up to 9.00Gy (mean=3.92±2.02Gy). The

anterior descending coronary artery (ADCA) D

max

was

41.9±6.60Gy while the ADCA D

mean

was 23.4±10.9Gy.

ADCA D

mean

increased from 18.5±10.9Gy with MHD ≤3cm to

27.9±9.1Gy with MHD >3cm (ρ-value 0.030). ADCA D

mean

was also related to V

BMI showed borderline significance on ADCA D

max

when the

BMI was <30, the ADCA D

max

was 37.3±10.0Gy while it was

43.7±43.7Gy when BMI ≥30 with a ρ-value 0.074.

None of the outcome parameters had clinical significance
