A

Cervical esophagus: Definitive CRT

  • 45 Gy to larger volume including SCV -> 50.4 or mid 60s (2 RCTs showing no difference between CRT alone vs. surgery, both went to mid 60s – higher dose to achieve surgical equivalency)
  • chemo is carbo/tax (CROSS – 49% pCR) or FOLFOX (French trial, showed less toxicity than cis/5-FU)
  • sup extension likely <5 cm, up to level III

Q

Esoph volumes and fields

A

4 field plan (AP/PA + RPO/LPO) weighted AP-PA or 3 field

GTV: gross tumor and enlarged nodes – defined by CT, PET, EGD/EUS
CTV: GTV + 3-4 cm sup/inf, 1 cm radial on primary and nodes; respecting anatomic boundaries (cut out of heart, liver, vertebral body)
-ENI: cervical – SCV; proximal – para-esophageal; distal – celiac, lesser curvature (located in gastrohepatic ligament)
PTV: CTV + 1 cm

*if using 4DCT, contour on average

*Can use IMRT (MDACC) to spare the heart and lungs but pay attention to lung V5 and dose to uninvolved stomach (which will be used for anastomosis) – MDACC Lin IJROBP 2012 showed similar acute tox but improved OS w IMRT (due to less cardiac deaths)!

Q

A

Post-op: 50.4 Gy (RTOG 0848)
Target: fuse pre-op CT to planning CT
CTV = tumor bed (clips; discuss w/surgeon + op-note) + pancreatico-jejunostomy + nodal groups = P3SC (Peri-pancreatic, Porta Hepatis, P-A, SMA/SMV, celiac)

CTV Target volumes (RTOG atlas)
-Celiac: Most proximal 1.5 cm
-SMA: Most proximal 3 cm (3 letters)
-PV: segment of PV slightly to right of, anterior to and antero-medial to IVC (patient’s right). Contour PV from just above its junction w/SMV and go superior and lateral until center of PV width has moved past R lateral edge of IVC  stop.
Expand celiac, SMA, PV and PJ by 1 cm

-Aorta: start at most superior of celiac, PJ or PV and then cover down to L2.
Expand off aorta: 2.5 cm to right, 2.5 cm anterior, 1 cm to left and 0.2 cm posterior
-Aortic expansion should be as high as PJ or PV expansion
-If there is a pancreatico-gastrostomy, DO NOT include it (b/c food will go through)
-Crop CTV from liver or stomach

PTV = CTV + 0.5 cm w/daily IGRT

17
Q

Panc intact volumes

A

Definitive (Intact):
CTV = GTV + 1.5 cm

CRT is an option as well

Adjuvant chemo: 4-6 months

20
Q

Cholangio Unresectable

A

Chemo or

• Neoadjuvant gem/cis -> liver RT (4.5 x 15 = 67.5, avoid conventional fractionation)

A

GTV=gross tumor
PTV=ITV+0.5 cm

Probably safe to say 50/5 then deescalate to meet constraints
-RTOG – starts at 50 Gy in 5 fractions, de-escalated based on liver dose (700cc and Veffective), lowest is 27.5/5

Volume receiving <20 Gy more than 700cc – 5 fraction.
