Robotic image-guided reirradiation of lateral pelvic recurrences: preliminary results
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND The first-line treatment of a pelvic recurrence in a previously irradiated area is surgery. Unfortunately, few patients are deemed operable, often due to the location of the recurrence, usually too close to the iliac vessels, or the associated surgical morbidity. The objective of this study is to test the viability of robotic image-guided radiotherapy as an alternative treatment in inoperable cases. METHODS Sixteen patients previously treated with radiotherapy were reirradiated with CyberKnife® for lateral pelvic lesions. Recurrences of primary rectal cancer (4 patients), anal canal (6), uterine cervix cancer (4), endometrial cancer (1), and bladder carcinoma (1) were treated. The median dose of the previous treatment was 45 Gy (EqD2 range: 20 to 96 Gy). A total dose of 36 Gy in six fractions was delivered with the CyberKnife over three weeks. The responses were evaluated according to RECIST criteria. RESULTS Median follow-up was 10.6 months (1.9 to 20.5 months). The actuarial local control rate was 51.4% at one year. Median disease-free survival was 8.3 months after CyberKnife treatment. The actuarial one-year survival rate was 46%. Acute tolerance was limited to digestive grade 1 and 2 toxicities. CONCLUSIONS Robotic stereotactic radiotherapy can offer a short and well-tolerated treatment for lateral pelvic recurrences in previously irradiated areas in patients otherwise not treatable. Efficacy and toxicity need to be evaluated over the long term, but initial results are encouraging.

Feasibility of reirradiation of recurrent sinonasal carcinoma in the periorbital region using hypofractionated image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy.
BACKGROUND Recurrent periorbital tumors pose management challenges because they are often unresectable and chemorefractory. Proximity to critical structures renders reirradiation difficult. With image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT), real-time corrections to patient setup are possible, enabling significant shrinkage of planning target volume margins and safe dose escalati...
متن کاملThe usefulness of reirradiation in the treatment of pelvic recurrence of rectal and gynaecological tumours
Pelvic tumors recurrences have diminished with the modern radiation therapy techniques. However, they are still observed, with or without distant metastases, leading to a serious and even mortal disease. The choice of an adequate therapy poses a clinical challenge. One of the procedures is the repetition of radiation therapy. In this review we manifest how complex is the treatment of gynecologi...
متن کاملSupracervical Robotic-Assisted Laparoscopic Sacrocolpopexy for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
BACKGROUND Supracervical robotic-assisted laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (SRALS) is a new surgical treatment for pelvic organ prolapse that secures the cervical remnant to the sacral promontory. We present our initial experience with SRALS in the same setting as supracervical robotic-assisted hysterectomy (SRAH). METHODS Women with vaginal vault prolapse and significant apical defects as defined...
