calculated. Univariate analysis was perform out to

determine impact of total dose, GTV at treatment, use of

systemic chemotherapy, primary tumour type, baseline

liver function status, age and viral marker status on

normal liver volume and liver function during follow up.

Reduction in liver volume at follow-ups were analysed

with paired t-test. p value of <0.05 was considered

significant.

Results

Thirteen patients received either SBRT or HDRT. Out of

these 6/7 patients with HCC received TACE prior to RT

initiation and all received sorafenib while 3/4 with CCA

received gemcitabine and cisplatin concurrently with

radiation. Another 2 were treated for LM. The Median BED

was 59.5 Gy (48 - 85.5 Gy). The follow up scans were

performed at 1 month and 4 monthly thereafter. The

median normal liver volume at baseline, 1

st

, 2

nd

and 3

rd

follow up was 1105 (423-2100) cc, 918 (614 - 1899) cc, 778

(490 - 1746) cc and 816 (576 - 2101) cc for the entire

cohort and 1098 (423 – 2100) cc, 886 (614 – 1899) cc, 778

(490 - 1746) cc and 750 (576 – 1136) cc for patients with

primary hepatic malignancy (PHM). The reduction in liver

volume was statistically significant at 4 months (p=0.05)

in entire cohort. In PHM cohort, at 4 and 8 months

reduction in liver volume were found significant (p=0.05

and p=0.05, respectively). Deterioration of Childs score

was presented in 2/13 patients. This loss in liver function

could represent ongoing radiation effects on

compensatory liver hypertrophy or hepatocyte

regeneration. However no correlation was seen between

child score deterioration and loss of liver volume.

On univariate analysis, the higher normal liver volume at

baseline irradiated shows statistically significantly higher

loss of liver volume (p=0.005). None of other tumour or

treatment related factors had impact on liver volume

changes.

Conclusion

The reduction in liver volume at follow up does not

correlate with any tumour or treatment parameters other

than normal liver volume at baseline. This ongoing loss of

hepatic function and reduced hepatocyte regeneration

after hepatic radiation needs further investigation.

Purpose or Objective

Prognosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) is so dismal

that annual mortality and incidence rates overlap. Several

studies suggested that preoperative CA19.9 (prCA19.9)

could be a useful prognostic marker in patients treated

with surgery +/- adjuvant therapies. The purpose of this

study was to determine whether post-surgical CA19.9

(poCA19.9) or post-adjuvant CA19.9 (paCA19.9) or a

change in prCA19.9 to poCA19.9 could predict pattern of

failure in terms of local control (LC) and metastasis-free

survival (DMFS).

Material and Methods

We performed a multicenter retrospective study and we

selected for this analysis 67 pts Antigen Lewis positive

(prCA19.9 > 5U/ml), judged to be secretors of CA19.9. We

used the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test to

investigate differences in LC and DMFS between groups

defined based on clinical and pathological factors,

different poCA 19.9 cutoff (37, 100 U/mL), paCA 19.9

cutoff (37 U/mL), and differences (%) between prCA19.9

and poCA19.9 levels.

Results

Demographic data and results are shown in Table 1.

Median follow-up (FU) was 18 months (2-225). At

univariate analysis, levels of poCA19.9 >37 U/ml (p=

0.009) or >100 (p< 0.001) and levels of paCA19.9 >37 U/ml

(p= 0.009) were significantly associated with a worse

DMFS. A change in prCA19.9 to poCA19.9 did not impact

LC and DMFS. CRT did not impact pattern of failure in the

whole patients population. Only in patients with poCA19.9

> 37 U/ml CRT significantly affected LC (63.6% for patients

treated with CRT vs 40.0% for patients not treated with

CRT;

p =

0.008).

Conclusion

Monitoring CA19.9 seems a useful parameter to modulate

the management of PAC patients in terms of choice of

adjuvant treatment and follow-up intensity.
