Material and Methods

This is a multicentric Rare Cancer Network

(www.rarecancer.net

) retrospective study launched in

February 2016. Demographic, therapeutic and outcome

data of 48 adult PS pts treated in 13 European and

American Institutions were collected in a common

database and then analysed. Median age was 64.5 years

(range: 22 - 87). Curative surgery was delivered in 35 pts

(prostatectomy = 19, cystoprostatectomy = 16), usually

with lymphadenectomy (n = 24). Curative radiotherapy

(RT) was delivered in 24 pts, as neoadjuvant (n = 2),

postoperative (n = 17), or as definitive treatment (n = 5).

Ten pts received neoadjuvant (n = 3) or adjuvant (n = 7)

chemotherapy. None of the patients received hormonal

therapy.

Results

Median follow-up was 67 months. Five-year local control

(LC), overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival,

disease-free survival, and metastases-free survival rates

were 48.9%, 45.2%, 52.4%, 29.7%, and 31.2%, respectively.

Irradiated patients presented better 5-year LC (63.8% vs

38.8%, p = 0.2) but its impact was not confirmed in the 35

pts receiving curative surgery. In the subgroup of pT3-T4

patients treated with curative surgery, RT significantly

improved the 5-year LC (45.7% vs 0%, p = 0.007) and OS

(48% vs 0%, p = 0.014) rates. cT4 pts presented a

significantly lower 5-year OS (60.1% vs 29.5%, p = 0.001)

and LC (70.2% vs 11.4%, p < 0.001) rates. Histologic type

did not significantly influence the LC and OS, but pts

presenting a prostatic stromal sarcoma, a

rhabdomyosarcoma, or a sarcomatoid carcinoma showed a

trend toward a worse outcome (5-year LC [31.9% vs 59.2%]

and OS [28% vs 70%]).

Conclusion

Adult PS has a bad prognosis. More advanced diseases

present lower LC and OS rates. Curative RT should be

considered part of the multidisciplinary approach to PS.

Purpose or Objective

An important prerequisite for MRI only radiotherapy is the

generation of a synthetic CT (sCT) from MRI-data. This

study aims to validate the use of MriPlanner

TM

, a software

for MR to sCT conversion, for 170 prostate cancer patients.

Performed within the Swedish consortium Gentle

Radiotherapy, this multi-center study enables a large-

scale validation of calculated synthetic CTs for multiple

vendors. This is a presentation of the full results of the

MR-Only Prostate External RAdiotherapy (MR-OPERA)

study.

Material and Methods

The four participating centers had MriPlanner

TM

(Spectronic Medical AB, Helsingborg, Sweden) installed as

a cloud based service. The software makes use of an atlas-

based generation method, called the statistical

decomposition algorithm, which generates sCTs from T2-

weighted MR-images. Study participation did not affect

treatment prescription, and the patients followed the

routine clinical workflow.

A T2-weighted MRI, covering the external body contour,

was added to the clinical MRI scan protocol. The MR-image

was sent from the MR-scanner workstation to the

MriPlanner

TM

platform. The generated sCT was

automatically returned to the treatment planning system.

A total of four different MR-scanners from two vendors and

two magnetic field strengths were included in the study.

For each patient, a CT-treatment plan was created and

approved according to clinical practice. The generated

sCT was rigidly registered to the CT, the structures

transferred, and the clinical treatment plan was

recalculated on the sCT. Separate external contours were

generated based on the sCT and CT images respectively.

The dose distributions from the CT-plan and the sCT-plan

were compared based on a set of DVH-parameters and

with gamma evaluation. Treatment techniques included

VMAT, IMRT and conventional treatment using two

commercially available treatment planning systems.

Results

The overall (multi-center/multi-vendor) mean difference

between sCT and CT dose distribution were 0.23%±0.42%

for PTV mean, 0.04%±0.27% for bladder mean and

0.16%±0.42% for rectum mean (1 s.d). Gamma evaluation

showed a mean pass rate of 99.12%±0.63% in the complete

body volume and 99.97%±0.13% in the PTV volume using a

2%/2mm global gamma criteria (1 s.d). The four centers

showed similar results. All evaluated DVH-criteria were

shown to be equivalent at a 95% confidence interval using

a two one-sided test of equivalence for paired samples.

Conclusion

The results of the MR-OPERA study showed that an MRI

only workflow using the MriPlanner was dosimetrically

accurate for a variety of vendors, field strengths and

treatment techniques. Minimal differences were observed

between sCT and CT dose distributions, and in comparison

to other uncertainties in radiotherapy, they can be

considered negligible. The proposed method will allow for

a straightforward implementation of an MRI only workflow

for external prostate radiotherapy at most clinics.

Purpose or Objective

To quantify the planned versus the delivered radiation

dose using deformable image registration of cone beam CT

(CBCT), in patients treated with IMRT for endometrial

cancer.

Material and Methods

1. Post-hysterectomy patients treated with adjuvant IMRT

(4500cGy in 25 fractions) for endometrial cancer were

retrospectively dose tracked using CBCT on a commercial

treatment planning system (RayStation v5, Raysearch

Laboratories).

2. CBCTs were acquired days 1-4 and then weekly except

when error >5mm.

3. Rigid registration between the planning CT and each

CBCT was performed based on treatment position.

4. CBCT electron density values were established.
