_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Material and Methods

Treatment results of 40 patients (8 female, 32 male) in

median age 60 years (from 40-84 years), with primary

cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (mycosis fungoides), stage IB-

III, treated between 2001 and 2013 were reviewed. All

patients were symptomatic. The median total dose was

32Gy (range 12-40Gy), applied with 1,5 Gy per day four

times weekly for the whole skin.

Results

The median follow-up was 60 months. A clinical complete

response was documented in 29 (72.5%) and a partial

response in 11 patients (27.5%). The clinical response

significantly influenced on the overall survival (OS)

(p=0.002) and progression-free survival (PFS) (p<0.001).

The mean OS was 76 months. The mean PFS was 48.9

months and the actuarial one-, two- year PFS were 67.5%,

55%. The statistically significant correlation was found

between partial and total remission time and the stages

of lymphoma (p=0.015). The side effects were observed in

all patients during the treatment and include: erythema,

skin dryness and desquamation, pruritus, onycholysis and

alopecia.

Conclusion

For palliation of symptomatic cutaneous lymphoma, total

skin electron beam therapy is well tolerated and an

efficient treatment.

Purpose or Objective

Bone metastases cause pain, suffering and impaired

quality of life (QOL). Palliative radiotherapy (RT) is an

effective method in controlling pain, reducing analgesics

use and improving QOL. This study goal was to investigate

the changes in QOL scores among patients who responded

to RT.

Material and Methods

A prospective study evaluating the role of radiation

therapy in a public hospital in São Paulo-Brazil recorded

patients’ opioid use, pain score, Portuguese version of

QLQ-BM22 and QLQ-C30 before and 2 months after

radiotherapy. Analgesic use and pain score were used to

calculate international pain response category. Overall

response was defined as the sum of complete response

(CR) and partial response (PR). CR was defined as pain

score of 0 with no increase in analgesic intake whereas PR

was defined as pain reduction ≥ 2 without analgesic

increase or analgesic reduction in ≥25% without increase

in pain at the treated site.

Results

From September 2014 to October 2015, 25 patients with

bone metastases responded to RT (1 CR, 24PR). There

were 8 male and 17 female patients. The median age and

ECOG of the 25 patients was 57 years old (range 22 to 89)

and 2 (range 0 to 3), respectively. Patient’s primary

cancer site was breast (11), prostate (5), lung (2), others

(7). For QLQ-BM 22, the mean scores of 4 categories at

baseline were: Pain site (PS) 39, Pain characteristics (PC)

61, Function Interference (FI) 49 and Psycho-social aspects

(PA) 57. At 2 month follow up, the scores were PS 27, PC

37, FI 70 and PA 59. Statistical significant improvement

(p<0.05) was seen in PS, PC, FI but not PA. In the QLQ-

C30, the mean scores were not statistically different for

all categories, except for pain that demonstrated a 29

point decrease in the pain score domain (69 to 40).

Conclusion

Responders to RT at 2 month presented improvement in

BM22 and C30 pain domains, and also improvement in

functional interference if BM22 questionnaire. Patients

with painful bone metastases may receive palliative

radiation therapy to improve both pain and QOL.

Purpose or Objective

Solitary extracranial metastases from gynecologic

malignancies have historically been treated with either

surgery or conventional radiation therapy. We report

mature local control, toxicity, and survival for patients

who received five-fraction stereotactic body radiation

therapy (SBRT) at our institution.

Material and Methods

Patients presenting with biopsy-proven, solitary, small (<5

cm) extracranial metastasis from a gynecologic primary

cancer, treated with robotic SBRT, were retrospectively

reviewed. Vaginal cuff recurrences or multiple sites of

disease were considered exclusion criteria for this

analysis. Patients were stratified by the presence or

absence of sarcomatous histology. The Kaplan-Meier

method was used to estimate local control and overall

survival. Durable local control was defined as lasting ≥12

months. Toxicity was scored per the CTC-AE v4.0.

Results

Twenty patients were treated over a five year period from

July 2007 to July 2012 for solitary extracranial metastases

from gynecologic malignancies. Sixteen patients were

noted to have non-sarcomatous histology (six uterine and

ten ovarian primary tumors), while four tumors were

identified as sarcoma (all uterine primaries). No patients

with solitary cervical cancer metastases were identified.

Metastases involved the liver, lung, abdomen, spine,

pelvis, and extremity. Thirteen patients had fiducials

placed for tumor tracking; abdominal and spine

metastases were tracked with a fiducial-less spinal

tracking system. The median gross tumor volume (GTV)

was 42.5 cc (range: 5 - 273 cc). The median dose delivered

to the GTV was 35 Gy (range: 30 - 50 Gy) over 5 to 9 days

(median: 6 days). At a median follow-up of 56 months

(range: 6 - 108 months), the 5-year local control and

overall survival rates were 71.2% and 47.5% respectively.

However, when stratified by histology, the local control at

5 years was 93.7% in patients with classical histology

versus 25.0% in patients with metastatic gynecologic

sarcoma (p < 0.01) and only 50.0% of the sarcoma patients

experienced durable local control. No grade 3 or higher

toxicity was observed during or following treatment.

Conclusion

Five-fraction SBRT is a versatile, well-tolerated, and

highly effective treatment option for small extracranial

gynecologic metastases with an excellent 5-year local

control of 93.7% in patients with classical ovarian and

uterine primary tumors. However, patients with

metastatic uterine sarcoma may require a more aggressive

or alternative treatment approach.
