Background and recommendations Flashcards
How do you develop CTV for tumors of antrum of stomach postoperatively?
CTV: Tumor bed based on Preop tumor+2 cm, anastomoses, 1st portion of the duodenal loop, gastric remnant and regional nodal regions
Regional nodes add: Porta hepatis, periduondenal, suprapancreatic, splenic, pancreaticoduodenal
Boost gross residual: CTV = GTV + 2 cm margin
Late toxicities of gastrectomy?
Dumping syndrome (diarrhea, cramping, palpitations, reactive hypoglycemia) Malabsorption: B12, iron, calcium
Beam techniques used?
4 field plan
or
IMRT
How do you develop CTV for tumors of body of stomach postoperatively?
CTV: Tumor bed based on Preop tumor+2 cm, anastomoses, gastric remnant and regional nodal regions
Regional nodes add: Suprapancreatic, Splenic, pancreaticoduodenal, porta hepatis, splenic hilum
Boost gross residual: CTV = GTV + 2 cm margin
How do you develop CTV for tumors of proximal stomach postoperatively?
CTV: Tumor bed based on Preop tumor+2 cm, surgical clips, anastomoses, gastric remnant, regional nodal regions
Regional nodes: Suprapancreatic, Splenic, pancreaticoduodenal, porta hepatis, splenic hilum
Boost gross residual: CTV = GTV + 2 cm margin
How do you develop CTV for tumors of GE junction postoperatively?
CTV: Tumor bed based on Preop tumor+2 cm, anastomoses, gastric remnant and regional nodal regions
Regional nodes add: mediastinal, peripesophgeal
Boost gross residual: CTV = GTV + 2 cm margin
What is the relapse pattern after surgery alone?
50% of patients fail distantly
54% of patients experience locoregional recurrence
What are the minimum surgical margins on gross tumor and minimum number of nodes removed?
5 cm margins
15 nodes
Kidney dose constraint?
Mean dose < 18 Gy
Heart dose constraint?
V40<30%
Spinal cord dose constraint?
Max dose < 45 Gy
T1a
Invades lamina propria or muscularis mucosa
T1b
Invades submucosa
T2
Invades muscularis propria
T3
Tumor penetrates subserosa without invasion of the visceral peritoneum (serosa)
T4a
Invasion of the serosa, visceral peritoneum
T4b
Tumor invades adjacent structures including extension into gastrocolic or gastrohepatic ligaments or greater or lesser omentum
