Abstract

Background: The survival results of the PORTEC-3 trial showed a significant improvement in both overall and failure-free survival with chemoradiotherapy versus pelvic radiotherapy alone. The present analysis was performed to compare long-term adverse events (AE) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Patients and methods: 660 women with high-risk endometrial cancer were randomly assigned to receive chemoradiotherapy (2 concurrent cycles of cisplatin followed by 4 cycles of carboplatin/paclitaxel) or radiotherapy alone. Toxicity was graded using CTCAE v3.0. HRQOL was measured using EORTC QLQ-C30 and CX24/OV28-subscales and compared to normative-data. An as-treated analysis was performed. Results: Median follow up was 74.6 months; 574 (87%) patients were evaluable for HRQOL. At 5 years, grade ≥2 AE were scored for 78 (38%) patients who had received chemoradiotherapy versus 46 (24%) who had received radiotherapy (p=0.008). Grade 3 AE did not differ significantly between the groups (8% vs 5%, p=0.18) at 5 years, and only one new late grade 4 toxicity had been reported. At 3 and 5 years, sensory neuropathy toxicity grade ≥2 persisted after chemoradiotherapy in 6% (vs 0% after radiotherapy, p<0.001) and more patients reported significant tingling or numbness at HRQOL (27% vs 8%, p<0.001 at 3 years; 24% vs 9%, p=0.002 at 5 years). Until 3 years, more patients who had chemoradiotherapy reported limb weakness (21% vs 5%, p<0.001) and lower physical (79 vs 87, p<0.001) and role functioning (78 vs 88, p<0.001) scores. Both treatment groups reported similar long-term global health/QOL scores, which were better than those of the normative-population. Conclusion: This study shows a long-lasting, clinically relevant, negative impact of chemoradiotherapy on toxicity and HRQOL, most importantly persistent peripheral sensory neuropathy. Physical and role functioning impairments were seen until 3 years. These long-term data are essential for patient information and

Abstract

Background: Decision making regarding adjuvant therapy for high-risk endometrial cancer is complex. The aim of this study was to determine patients' and clinicians' minimally desired survival benefit to choose chemoradiotherapy over radiotherapy alone. Moreover, influencing factors and importance of positive and negative treatment effects (i.e. attribute) were investigated. Methods: Patients with high-risk endometrial cancer treated with adjuvant pelvic radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy and multidisciplinary gynaecologic oncology clinicians completed a trade-off questionnaire based on PORTEC-3 trial data. Results: In total, 171 patients and 63 clinicians completed the questionnaire. Median minimally desired benefit to make chemoradiotherapy worthwhile was significantly higher for patients versus clinicians (10% vs 5%, p = 0.02). Both patients and clinicians rated survival benefit most important during decision making, followed by long-term symptoms. Older patients (OR 0.92 [95%CI 0.87–0.97]; p = 0.003) with comorbidity (OR 0.34 [95% CI 0.12–0.89]; p = 0.035) had lower preference for chemoradiotherapy, while patients with better numeracy skills (OR 1.2 [95%CI 1.05–1.36], p = 0.011) and chemoradiotherapy history (OR 25.0 [95%CI 8.8–91.7]; p < 0.001) had higher preference for chemoradiotherapy. Conclusions: There is a considerable difference in minimally desired survival benefit of chemoradiotherapy in high-risk endometrial cancer among and between patients and clinicians. Overall, endometrial cancer patients needed higher benefits than clinicians before preferring chemoradiotherapy.

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate feasibility of chemoradiation as alternative for extensive surgery in patients with locally advanced vulvar cancer and to report on locoregional control, toxicity and survival. Methods: In a multicenter, prospective phase II trial patients with locally advanced vulvar cancer were treated with locoregional radiotherapy combined with sensitizing chemotherapy (capecitabine). Treatment feasibility, percentage locoregional control, survival and toxicity were evaluated. Results: 52 patients with mainly T2/T3 disease were treated according to the study protocol in 10 centers in the Netherlands from 2007 to 2019. Full dose radiotherapy (tumor dose of 64.8Gy) was delivered in 92% and full dose capecitabine in 69% of patients. Most prevalent acute ≥ grade 3 toxicities were regarding skin/mucosa and pain (54% and 37%). Late ≥grade 3 toxicity was reported for skin/mucosa (10%), fibrosis (4%), GI incontinence (4%) and stress fracture or osteoradionecrosis (4%). Twelve weeks after treatment, local clinical complete response (cCR) and regional control (RC) rates were 62% and 75%, respectively. After 2 years, local cCR persisted in 22 patients (42%) and RC was 58%. Thirty patients (58%) had no evidence of disease at end of follow-up (median 35 months). In 9 patients (17%) extensive surgery with stoma formation was needed. Progression free survival was 58%, 51% and 45% and overall survival was 76%, 66%, 52% at 1,2, and 5 years. Conclusions: Definitive capecitabine-based chemoradiation as alternative for extensive surgery is feasible in locally advanced vulvar cancer and results in considerable locoregional control with acceptable survival rates with manageable acute and late toxicity.

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this review was to summarize the current literature on the assessment and treatment of radiation urethritis and cystitis (RUC) for the development of an evidenced-based management algorithm. Material and Methods: The PubMed/MEDLINE database was searched by a multidisciplinary group of experts in January 2021. Results: In total, 48 publications were identified. Three different types of RUC can be observed in clinical practice: inflammation-predominant, bleeding-predominant, and the combination of inflammation- and bleeding-RUC. There is no consensus on the optimal treatment of RUC. Inflammation-predominant RUC should be treated symptomatically based on the existence of bothersome storage or voiding lower urinary tract symptom as well as on pain. When bleeding-predominant RUC has occurred, hydration and hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HOT) should be used first and, if HOT is not available, oral drugs instead (sodium pentosane polysulfate, aminocaproic acid, immunokine WF 10, conjugated estrogene, or pentoxifylline + vitamin E). If local bleeding persists, focal therapy of bleeding vessels with a laser or electrocoagulation is indicated. In case of generalized bleeding, intravesical installation should be initiated (formalin, aluminium salts, and hyaluronic acid/chondroitin). Vessel embolization is a less invasive treatment with potentially less complications and good clinical outcomes. Open- or robot-assisted surgery is indicated in patients with permanent, life-threatening bleeding, or fistulae. Conclusions: Treatment of RUC, if not self-limiting, should be done according to the type of RUC and in a stepwise approach. Conservative/medical treatment (oral and topic agents) should primarily be used before invasive (transurethral) treatments. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Although women with endometrial cancer generally have a favourable prognosis, those with high-risk disease features are at increased risk of recurrence. The PORTEC-3 trial was initiated to investigate the benefit of adjuvant chemotherapy during and after radiotherapy (chemoradiotherapy) versus pelvic radiotherapy alone for women with high-risk endometrial cancer. METHODS: PORTEC-3 was an open-label, international, randomised, phase 3 trial involving 103 centres in six clinical trials collaborating in the Gynaecological Cancer Intergroup. Eligible women had high-risk endometrial cancer with FIGO 2009 stage I, endometrioid-type grade 3 with deep myometrial invasion or lymph-vascular space invasion (or both), endometrioid-type stage II or III, or stage I to III with serous or clear cell histology. Women were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive radiotherapy alone (48·6 Gy in 1·8 Gy fractions given on 5 days per week) or radiotherapy and chemotherapy (consisting of two cycles of cisplatin 50 mg/m 2 given during radiotherapy, followed by four cycles of carboplatin AUC5 and paclitaxel 175 mg/m 2) using a biased-coin minimisation procedure with stratification for participating centre, lymphadenectomy, stage of cancer, and histological type. The co-primary endpoints were overall survival and failure-free survival. We used the Kaplan-Meier method, log-rank test, and Cox regression analysis for final analysis by intention to treat and adjusted for stratification factors. The study was closed on Dec 20, 2013, after achieving complete accrual; follow-up is ongoing. PORTEC-3 is registered with ISRCTN, number ISRCTN14387080, and ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00411138. RESULTS: 686 women were enrolled between Nov 23, 2006, and Dec 20, 2013. 660 eligible patients were included in the final analysis, of whom 330 were assigned to chemoradiotherapy and 330 were assigned to radiotherapy. Median follow-up was 60·2 months (IQR 48·1-73·1). 5-year overall survival was 81·8% (95% CI 77·5-86·2) with chemoradiotherapy versus 76·7% (72·1-81·6) with radiotherapy (adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0·76, 95% CI 0·54-1·06; p=0·11); 5-year failure-free survival was 75·5% (95% CI 70·3-79·9) versus 68·6% (63·1-73·4; HR 0·71, 95% CI 0·53-0·95; p=0·022). Grade 3 or worse adverse events during treatment occurred in 198 (60%) of 330 who received chemoradiotherapy versus 41 (12%) of 330 patients who received radiotherapy (p

Abstract

Universal tumor screening in endometrial carcinoma (EC) is increasingly adopted to identify individuals at risk of Lynch syndrome (LS). These cases involve mismatch repair-deficient (MMRd) EC without MLH1promoter hypermethylation (PHM). LS is confirmed through the identification of germline MMR pathogenic variants (PV). In cases where these are not detected, emerging evidence highlights the significance of double-somatic MMR gene alterations as a sporadic cause of MMRd, alongside POLE/POLD1exonuclease domain (EDM) PV leading to secondary MMR PV. Our understanding of the incidence of different MMRd EC origins not related to MLH1-PHM, their associations with clinicopathologic characteristics, and the prognostic implications remains limited.

Abstract

Purpose: A quantitative 3D intramodality ultrasound (US) imaging system was verified for daily in-room prostate localization, and compared to prostate localization based on implanted fiducial markers (FMs). Methods: Thirteen prostate patients underwent multiple US scans during treatment. A total of 376 US-scans and 817 matches were used to determine the intra-and interoperator variability. Additionally, eight other patients underwent daily prostate localization using both US and electronic portal imaging (EPI) with FMs resulting in 244 combined US-EPI scans. Scanning was performed with minimal probe pressure and a correction for the speed of sound aberration was performed. Uncertainties of both US and FM methods were assessed. User variability of the US method was assessed. Results: The overall US user variability is 2.6 mm. The mean differences between US and FM are: 2.5 +/- 4.0 mm (LR), 0.6 +/- 4.9 mm (SI), and -2.3 +/- 3.6 mm (AP). The intramodality character of this US system mitigates potential errors due to transducer pressure and speed of sound aberrations. Conclusions: The overall accuracy of US (3.0 mm) is comparable to our FM workflow (2.2 mm). Since neither US nor FM can be considered a gold standard no conclusions can be drawn on the superiority of either method. Because US imaging captures the prostate itself instead of surrogates no invasive procedure is required. It requires more effort to standardize US imaging than FM detection. Since US imaging does not involve a radiation burden, US prostate imaging offers an alternative for FM EPI positioning.
