pelvis, and it was shrunk to the bladder or tumor as a

boost. Systemic chemotherapy combined with

radiotherapy was performed in 10 of the 15 cases. The 1-

year and 3-year overall survival rates were 66.7% and

40.0%, respectively, and the 1-year and 3-year local

control rates were 70.0% and 60.0%, respectively.

Chemotherapy contributed to improvement of overall

survival and relapse-free survival (p = 0.001). There were

no serious adverse events in the observation period. The

bladder was maintained in all cases.

Conclusion

Radiotherapy has an important role from the point of view

of the patient’s QOL and is likely to become an option for

local treatment. Chemotherapy combined with

radiotherapy is considered to be essential for systemic

tumor control.

Purpose or Objective

To assess the rate of organ preservation and to identify

factors related to local control in patients treated with

surface mould brachytherapy for carcinoma penis.

Material and Methods

A retrospective analysis of patients treated with surface

mould brachytherapy for carcinoma penis at our

institution during the period 2000 to 2011 was carried out.

The details of age and date of diagnosis of these patients,

tumour size, histology, stage, size of residual disease after

biopsy were collected. Further, the treatment details

regarding the type of brachytherapy treatment, dose

prescribed, response to treatment and recurrences were

documented. Local control was calculated from the date

of diagnosis to documented date of local recurrence or

residual disease. In addition, nodal and systemic relapses

were documented separately.

Results

A total of seventeen patients were identified from

database and the records of sixteen patients were

available for the analysis. The mean age was 47.3 years

(range 31-73). All patients had histologically verified

squamous cell carcinoma. Nine patients had lesion on the

glans, six on the prepuce and one on the shaft. Three

patients did not have any disease palpable after biopsy

and the rest had a tumor size of less than 2cm. Three

fourths of the total number had T1 disease. Majority of the

patients (fourteen) were treated with pre-loaded LDR

source brachytherapy and the rest with remote after

loading HDR source. The dose prescribed ranged from

55Gy to 65 Gy at surface for LDR and the HDR dose was

50Gy in 15 fractions and 30Gy in 10 fractions treated twice

daily. At a median follow up of 37.5 months (range 9-167),

the local control was 75%. Among the twelve patients with

T1 disease, one patient had residual disease after

brachytherapy and the other had a local recurrence after

seven months resulting in local control rate of 83.3%.

Three out of sixteen patients had partial response after

brachytherapy for which they underwent salvage surgery.

The local control with salvage surgery after residual

disease or recurrence was 100%. Furthermore, among the

patients with residual disease following brachytherapy,

two were having T2 disease. Among them, one patient

subsequently developed systemic recurrence (lung and

bone) and succumbed to disease. Regional nodal relapse

was documented in one patient for whom inguinal block

dissection was performed. The nodal and systemic

relapses were in T2 patients.

Conclusion

Three fourth of patients had local control with organ

preservation by mould brachytherapy for Penile squamous

cell carcinoma and the rest had surgical salvage to achieve

local control . It appeared that the control was better for

T1 disease than T2. Mould brachytherapy may be

considered as a safe alternative to surgical treatment in

patients with early stage penile carcinoma who wish to

retain entire penis.

Purpose or Objective

To assess the role of radiotherapy in bladder carcinoma

after loco-regional relapse or pathologic adverse factors

in patients previously treated with or without cystectomy

after chemotherapy. To evaluate the toxicity of these

treatments.

Material and Methods

Since September 1998 to September 2016, seventy-eight

patients with bladder cancer (68 men, 10 women, median

age 53 years, range 37-87 years) have been

postoperatively treated with radiation therapy in our

department. 63 patients had transitional carcinoma, 7

squamous cell carcinoma and 8 sarcomatoid carcinoma.

The aim of the treatment was adjuvant in 27 patients

(34.6%), consolidative after nodal relapse post-

chemotherapy 19 patients (24.3%) and for local tumor

persistence in 32 patients (41.0%).

Mean radiotherapy dose was 50.4 Gy (range 37.5 Gy - 64,8

Gy) 1,8 Gy/fraction, 5 fraction/week (40 Gy to the pelvis

and a boost to the GTV up to 55,8 Gy if cystectomy or 64,8

if the bladder was present). RTOG Late Toxicity scale and

CTCAEv3.0 were used. Survival was calculated by means

the Kaplan-Meier method.

Results

Cystectomy was previously performed in 42 patients

(53.8%). Clinical prognostic factor were: pT1, 5 (6%); pT2,

29 (37.1%); pT3, 30 (38.4%); pT4 14 (18%); N+, 53 (67.9%);

N0 25 (32%).

With a median follow-up of 30.6 months (m). Median time

between infiltrative bladder tumor diagnoses and local

relapse was 13m (3-77 m), nodal relapse, 11 m (3-39 m).

Actuarial survival at 16 m and 36 m were 68% and 51%

respectively. At 60 m, actuarial survival post-

radiotherapy was 34%.

Median survival after treatment for nodal relapse, local

relapse and adjuvant Radiotherapy were 15.5 m(11-92 m),

22.5 m (9-180 m) and 18.5 m (15-84 m) respectively.

Failures after consolidative radiotherapy were: bone

metastases (7.7%), nodal relapse (25.6%), local relapse

(20.5%), soft tissues metastases (12.8%).

No grade 4 late toxicity has been reported. 8 patients

(10%) presented late GI toxicity grade 2 and in 2 was

grade 3. In 4 patients (5.1%) grade 2 GU toxicity was

reported and grade 3 in 2.

Conclusion

Post-operative radiotherapy in bladder cancer with loco-

regional relapse or with pathological adverse factors is

feasible with a low late toxicity profile. Half of our

patients are alive at 3 years.

In these patients with loco-regional relapses after radical

cystectomy or with macroscopic residual tumor after

maximal surgical effort with curative intent, loco-regional

control rate is improved with respect to the chemotherapy

alone standard treatment.
