Study of propensity score matching on the effect of simultaneously integrated boost-intensity modulated radiotherapy to the tumor center in the initial stage on bulky cervical cancer with bleeding
Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of simultaneously integrated boost-intensity modulated radiotherapy(SIB-IMRT) to the tumor center in the initial stage in patients with bulky cervical cancer with acute bleeding. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of the patients with bulky cervical cancer with bleeding who received SIB-IMRT to the tumor center in the initial stage in the Radiotherapy Department of Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine from January 2019 to January 2023. The propensity score matching method was used to match patients receiving SIB-IMRT to the tumor center in the initial stage with those receiving conventional IMRT. A total of 20 pairs of 40 patients were included in the study. In the SIB group 15 Gy in 3 fractions was delivered to the tumor center (the region that was the subtractive margin from the tumor boundary by 1.5 to 2 cm), and simultaneously 46 Gy in 23 fractions was delivered to the periphery of tumor and lymphatic drainage area of pelvic cavity at the initial three times of external irradiation. In the second course,the tumor and pelvic lymphatic drainage area were given a conventional fractionated dose of 40 Gy in 20 fractions. The patients treated with conventional IMRT (46 Gy/23 fractions)in cervical mass and pelvic lymphatic drainage area were regarded as control group. After the external irradiation, intracavitary radiotherapy was given. The primary endpoint was hemostasis effect. The secondary endpoints included adverse events(AEs),local contral(LC)rate and overall survival(OS)rate. Results Median follow-up was 48 months. The effective hemostasis rates in the SIB group and the control group in one week were 100% and 40%,respectively.There were no statistically significant differences in LC rate,OS rate,or acute and late AEs between two groups. Conclusion SIB-IMRT is effective and safe for bulky cervical cancer patients with bleeding, which can be selectively used in suitable patients.

Gastric bleeding negatively impacts the quality of life of patients with unresectable advanced gastric cancer and is frequently lethal. We investigated the efficacy of RT for palliation of gastric bleeding from gastric cancer and identified an optimal radiotherapy (RT) strategy.The study analyzed 57 patients submitted to palliative RT for gastric bleeding associated with gastric cancer between January 2009 and February 2019. Changes in hemoglobin (Hb) levels were analyzed based on measurements taken before and immediately, 1 month, and 2 months after RT. Re-bleeding after RT was identified as either Hb level dropping to < 7.0 g/dL or the administration of a blood transfusion after RT.The median biologically effective dose (α/β = 10) was 37.5 Gy (range 23.6-58.5). The most common regimen was 25 Gy in five fractions. The mean Hb levels before, immediately after, 1 month, and 2 months after RT (6.6, 9.7, 10.3, and 9.7 g/dL, respectively) were significantly higher than that before RT (all p < 0.001). No significant differences in re-bleeding rates were observed according to total dose, fractional dose, and fraction number. Gastric tumor response evaluated by computed tomography within 2 months after RT showed partial responses were more frequent in patients achieving bleeding control (25.0% vs. 10.8%, p = 0.023) and overall survival was significantly improved for bleeding control within 3 months after RT (median, 15.4 vs. 10.0 weeks, p = 0.048).RT was an effective modality for gastric bleeding control in gastric cancer, which can be achieved with a short course scheme with five fractions.© 2021.

Palliative radiotherapy for gastric cancer bleeding has been reported to be a safe and effective treatment, but predictive factors for achievement of hemostasis and overall survival have not been established.

To evaluate efficacy and late toxicity of intensity-modulated radiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost (IMRT-SIB) in definitive management of head-and-neck cancers.In this prospective interventional study, histological proven squamous cell carcinoma of oropharynx, hypopharynx, or larynx with stage T1-3 N0-3 M0 who were not candidates for concurrent chemotherapy were treated with IMRT-SIB with radical intent. Doses prescribed for IMRT-SIB to meet the clinical needs of nodal volumes were either SIB-66 schedule 66 Gray (Gy) prescribed to high risk (HR) planned target volume (PTV), 60 (Gy) to intermediate risk (IR) PTV and 54 Gy to low risk (LR) PTV in 30 fractions or SIB-70 schedule 70 Gy to PTV-HR, 59.4 Gy to PTV-IR and 56 Gy to PTV-LR in 33 fractions.Forty-five patients were included. Forty-two patients were treated with SIB-66 schedule and three patients with SIB-70 schedule. The median follow-up period was 21 (6-68) months. There was residual disease in three patients. Recurrence was observed in 24 patients. Most recurrences were in HR volume (n = 19) and three patients had distant failure. Estimated 2-year locoregional control, disease-free survival, and overall survival were 55.55%, 49.7%, and 51.1%, respectively. Grade 3 late skin toxicity, subcutaneous fibrosis, and xerostomia were observed in three patients.Efficacy and late toxicity of IMRT-SIB observed in our study suggest it as a suitable treatment option for patients who are not fit for chemoradiation.
