bone/soft-tissue/lymph-nodes was 46% (median survival

time, 11 months), while that was 15% for the patients who

received PRIT to other organs (median survival time, 4

months).

Conclusion

With regard to patients with good performance status,

prognosis of patients who received PIRT to bone/soft-

tissue or lymph-nodes was comparatively good. Despite

small patient number of this study, it seemed that

extremely hypofractionated PIRT was not suitable for

these patients.

Purpose or Objective

The aim of the study is to evaluate the feasibility, acute

toxicity and symptoms control of CyberKnife (Accuray,

Sunnyvale, CA)-based stereotactic radiotherapy (CBK-SRT)

on intraorbital metastases.

Material and Methods

This retrospective analysis included patients (pts) with

symptomatic metastases located wholly within the orbit.

Palliative radiation treatment was performed using

CyberKnife image-guided technology (using skull-tracking

technique). Gross tumor volume (GTV) volume was

defined on a pre-radiotherapy magnetic resonance

imaging (MRI) with Gadolinium. Treated volumes and

dose-volume histograms (DVHs) are discussed. Acute

toxicity was recorded according to Radiation Therapy

Oncology Group/European Organization for Research and

Treatment of Cancer (RTOG/EORTC) Scale.

Results

Between April 2012 and July 2016, 24 metastases (21 pts,

3 treated bilaterally) underwent CBK-SRT for intraorbital

lesions (10 intraocular, 14 periocular) from different

primary tumors (breast in 13 pts, lung in 3 pts, kidney in 2

pts, lymphoma in 1 pts, thyroid in 1 pts, trunk

leiomyosarcoma in

1

pts).

The median treatment dose was 18 Gy (range, 15-24 Gy)

given over a median of 3 fractions (range, 2-3 fractions)

with a median dose of 6 Gy per fraction (range, 5-10

Gy/fraction). Treated volumes and DVHs are reported in

Table 1.

At the end of the treatment, grade 1 toxicity according to

RTOG/EORTC score was observed in 8 cases. No change in

visual field or loss of vision was documented.

13 lesions of 24 had undergone post-radiotherapy MRI and

after median follow-up of 6 months (range, 2.0-26.5

months) no local recurrence occurred. All of these

patients reported decreasing pre-radiotherapy symptoms

and improvement in quality of life. Longer follow-up

(more than 12 months) is available in 4 lesions with

complete radiological response in all cases.

Conclusion

In our experience, CyberKnife radiotherapy is a well-

tolerated, safe and efficacious technique for palliative

treatment of intraocular and periocular metastases.

Purpose or Objective

Lidocaine 5% patch (L5%P) = (Versatis®) represents a novel

therapeutic approach to neuropathic pain in cancer

patients. The objective of this study is to evaluate its role

in treating acute or chronic focal neuropathic pain (FNP)

in cancer patients, regardless of its causal relationship

with the tumour.

Material and Methods

We collected information from 33 cancer patients with

focal neuropathic pain (FNP) treated with L5%P. Some

interesting data related to L5%P use were analyzed: NP

nature, body areas affected, previous and concomitant

analgesic treatment, time from patch application to

analgesic effect, duration of therapy with L5%P, analgesic

efficacy and adverse reactions. Therapeutic indication

with L5%P was established in all patients using a validated

FNP screening tool (ST) consisting in 4 simple questions.

Results

All patients underwent radiotherapy in our Departments.

66.7% of them (n=22) suffered from FNP related with

cancer and its therapies. In the other 33.3% of cases

(n=11), FNP was not considered related. Potent analgesic

effect of L5%P was observed in 23 cases (69.7%), and

partial effect in 5 cases (15,2%). It represents an 84.9% of

efficacy in our sample. 81.3% of patients did not report

adverse reactions at all. 45.5% of patients achieved pain

control within one week after starting L5%P treatment.

39.4% of patients did not need concomitant analgesic

treatment.
