Treatment Guidelines for Pre-operative Radiation Therapy for Retroperitoneal Sarcoma: Preliminary Consensus of an International Expert Panel EH Baldini, D Wang, CN Catton, DJ Indelicato, DG Kirsch, C Deville, C Le Pechoux, R Haas, IA Petersen, K May, D Roberge, BA Guadagnolo, B O'Sullivan, R Abrams, TF DeLaney
Background • The role of RT for extremity soft tissue sarcoma is well established • However, the role of RT for retroperitoneal sarcoma (RPS) is unproven
EORTC 62092-22092 (STRASS Trial) Ongoing, results are eagerly anticipated
Background In the meantime, many centers recommend Pre-op RT for RPS after multidisciplinary discussion But, there are no RT guidelines for this approach
Purpose To define radiation treatment guidelines for Pre-operative RT for RPS
RT Treatment Nomenclature • GTV: Gross Tumor Volume • CTV: Clinical Target Volume • Expansion of GTV to include areas at risk for harboring potential microscopic disease • PTV: Planning Target Volume • Expansion of CTV to account for daily patient set-up inaccuracies and/or patient movement • Treatment Field Borders • Extend beyond the PTV by about 7mm to deliver full dose to PTV
Extremity Soft Tissue Sarcoma RT Treatment Guidelines* CTV • GTV + 4 cm proximal/distal, • 1.5 cm radial • Edit CTV at bone PTV • CTV + 5-10mm per institutional standard 4 cm 1.5 cm GTV: red CTV: green PTV: orange *Haas, IJROBP 84:572; 2012
GTV, CTV,PTV Note the CTV is edited at the bone interface
Methods An expert panel of 15 academic radiation oncologists who specialize in sarcoma was convened Panel members reached consensus recommendations following several meetings, conference calls and email correspondence
Expert Panel: US Institutions (10) Dana-Farber/Brigham & Women’s Hospital Massachusetts General Hospital Medical College of Wisconsin University of Florida, Jacksonville Duke University University of Pennsylvania Mayo Clinic Roswell Park Cancer Institute MD Anderson Cancer Center Rush University
Expert Panel: European and Canadian Institutions (4) Canada • Princess Margaret Cancer Centre • McGill University Health Centre France • Institut Gustave Roussy Netherlands • Netherlands Cancer Institute
Results Consensus Recommendations
Essential Collaboration between Surgeon + Radiation Oncologist Discuss resection margins of concern Discuss potential resection of kidney, liver • If nephrectomy is planned: • Adequate contra-lateral renal function should be documented • Minimize dose to contra-lateral kidney • If partial liver resection is planned: • Minimize dose to remaining liver
Radiation Simulation • Oral and IV contrast is optional • Assessment of 4D motion (4D CT) • Strongly recommended for tumors above iliac crest to define GTV4D • Contour GTV on the planning CT • Register planning CT with diagnostic CT or MR T1 contrast images if necessary
CTV Definition Expand GTV symmetrically by 1.5 cm Edit CTV: • Bone: 0 mm • Bowel and Air Cavity: 5 mm • Renal and Hepatic interfaces: 2 mm • Skin Surface: 3-5 mm • If tumor extends through inguinal canal, add 3 cm distally (as per extremity STS) • If 4D CT is not performed, larger expansions are necessary for upper abdominal tumors
PTV Definition • Expand CTV by 5mm • If frequent volumetric soft tissue imaging will be performed to confirm set-up accuracy (i.e. cone beam CT) • Expand CTV by 9-12 mm • If no volumetric imaging is performed to confirm set-up
Dose 5040 cGy 180 cGy fractions 5 ½ weeks
RPS Contours GTV CTV PTV
RPS IMRT Graphic Plan Iso-dose Levels 100% 70% 95%50% 80% 30%
Dose-Painting Radiation Boost to High Risk Margins CONCEPT: • Deliver boost dose of RT to areas of tumor at risk for positive margins after resection • Along posterior abdominal wall, pre-vertebral space, major vessels GTV High Risk Boost Volume
Dose-Painting Radiation Boost to High Risk Margins • Efficacy is unproven • Technique is under investigation • May be considered, particularly on protocol • DeLaney Phase I/II Multi-Center Dose-Painting Boost, Dose-Escalation Trial
Treatment Technique Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) preferred unless OAR constraints can be met with 3D-conformal technique
Conclusion • Consensus guidelines were achieved and are recommended for use • To establish uniformity of treatment • Aid future efficacy and toxicity assessment
