E N D
Lymph Node Evaluation • What is the utility of lymph node evaluation in: • Cervical Carcinoma • Endometrial Carcinoma
Cervical Carcinoma • Early stage – Any (+) LN • Lymph node metastases high risk factors for recurrence • Identifies population needing adjuvant chemoradiation
Early Stage Cervical Carcinoma Chemo-RT if one of the following: • High Risk: Positive margin, parametrial extension, positive node (87% of CRT vs. 84% of RT) PFS OS 4-yr PFS 80% vs. 63%; p=0.003 4-yr OS 81% vs. 71%; p=0.007 • GOG 109 (Peters WA et. al. . J Clinic Oncol 18:1606-1613, 2000)
Cervical Carcinoma • Early stage – Any (+) LN • Lymph node metastases high risk factors for recurrence • Identifies population needing adjuvant chemoradiation • Locoregionally Advanced – (+) PA LN • Pelvic lymph nodes included in standard pelvic radiation field • Para-Aortic (Abdominal) lymph node metastases results in extended field primary chemoradiation
Locoregionally Advanced Cervical Carcinoma Risk of lymph node metastases increases with stage
Impact of Para-Aortic Evaluation on Survival Adjusted RR 1.51 (95% CI: 0.99-2.31), p=0.055 Adjusted RR 1.60 (95% CI: 1.03-2.48), p=0.038 Adjusted RR 1.51 (95% CI: 0.99-2.31), p=0.055
Importance of Detecting PALN Metastases Three-year Progression Free Interval & Overall Survival
Endometrial Carcinoma • Any (+) Lymph Node • Lymph node metastases high risk factors for recurrence • Identifies population needing adjuvant chemotherapy • Avoids unnecessary post-operative treatment
Endometrial Carcinoma • Cannot reliably identify who does and does not have LN mets based on pathologic variables • Only 10% of (+) nodes are palpable • 37% of nodal mets are < 2 mm • 3-5% of “low risk” pts (+) nodes • In LN (+) patients, PALN involved in ~50%, only (+) site 8-17%
Distribution of Disease in Node (+) EM Patients Cancer 1987; Gyn Onc 1996; Br J Ca 1997,Gyn Onc 2001,Br J Ca 2002; Am J OB-GYN 2001
Endometrial Carcinoma • PALN failure reduced from 39 to 13% in pts undergoing LN resection (Corn, Int J RBP 1992;24:223) • Failure to sample systematically PLN/PALN leads to increased retroperitoneal failures (Chaung, Gyn Onc 1995;58:189) • Less failures, improved PFS/OS in patients undergoing PALND (Mariani, Gyn Onc 2000;76:348)

OUTLINE • COMBIDEX MRI review • Update on ACRIN6671/GOG0233
COMBIDEX MRI REVIEWStudy Protocol Requirement • Interim analysis after 30 positive patients • Sensitivity > 60% to continue • Combidex provider stopped providing the agent in October 2009 • New Amendment to include endometrial cancer • ACRIN/GOG approval to review Combidex MRI data
COMBIDEX MRI REVIEWStudy Protocol Requirement • Seven central readers • Initial training on 3 test cases • Submission and approval of forms • Two step review • Combidex insensitive sequence review • Data submission and query • All sequence review
REVIEW PROCESS • 5 NA, 2 European readers • All academic abdominal imagers • 5/7 had experience with USPIO review • Effect of experience • 3 at ACRIN headquarter, 4 at their institutions • Review process complete • Abstract submission to ASCO 2011
COMBIDEX MRI REVIEWChallenges (N: 33 Patients) • Reader selection • Handful of experienced readers • 2 of more experienced readers dropped out/replaced • Difficult to bring reviewers to ACRIN headquarter • Difficult to entice them to meet timelines (5 months) • Long review process [3 days (3x8hrs)]
IMAGING REVIEWLiterature • Pubmed & Google Scholar • Keywords • Imaging review • Imaging review and clinical trial • radiology review study • Off-site vs. On-site imaging review
