Mashup Score: 24Salvage Reirradiation with Proton Beam Therapy for Locoregionally Recurrent Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - 22 hour(s) ago
Background/Objectives: This retrospective study evaluates outcomes of 66 patients who underwent reirradiation (re-RT) with proton beam therapy (PBT) for recurrent non-small cell lung cancer. Methods: Toxicity was scored via the CTCAE v5.0, and outcomes estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method, with associations evaluated via Cox proportional hazards and logistic regression analyses. Results: Patients were treated to a median re-RT prescription of 66 Gy/33 fxs (BED10 = 79 Gy; IQR: 71–84 Gy) at an interval of 1.4 years from prior RT. Half (50%) received concurrent chemotherapy. At 14 months follow-up, the median OS and PFS were 5 months (95%CI: 13–17) and 12.5 months (95%CI: 10–15), respectively. On multivariable analysis, a higher RT dose (BED10 > 70 Gy) [HR0.37; 95%CI: 0.20–0.68, p = 0.001] and concurrent chemotherapy (HR0.48; 95%CI: 0.28–0.81, p = 0.007) were associated with improved PFS, while treatment site overlap was adversely associated (HR1.78; 95%CI: 1.05–3.02, p = 0.031).

In some form or fashion, we’re all aware of what adaptive radiotherapy (ART) is. You’ve probably treated a head and neck patient whose tumor responds quickly to radiation. Or a patient that loses weight during their course and requires a replan. But there’s more to it than the occasional mid-course replan. If it’s a trendy topic now, it’s not because it’s new to the scene. Making changes to plans during a course of treatment has been common for decades, but now it’s back in the spotlight (*ahem*, FLASH
