Q

Cervix 1A1 no LVI treatment

A

(only group not needing nodal management)

1) Cold knife cone, if negative margins, then simple hysterectomy (if fertility not desired)
2) Fertility sparing: CKC (want margins ≥3mm, no LVI) if positive margins repeat cone or trachelectomy
3) Inoperable: definitive brachy (7.5 x5)

Q

Cervix pelvic targets

A

Targets (definitive or postop):

  • gross disease (cervix and entire uterus if definitive), vagina, parametria/uterosacrals, and pelvic LN
  • always: Pelvic LN: obturator, internal/external iliac, presacral
  • Cover common iliacs if pelvic LN + (to bifurcation of aorta)
  • Extended field to level of renal vessels (or higher, ~5cm above highest LN) if common iliacs or PA involved
  • Inguinal nodes if IIIA (distal vagina involved)

IMRT? indicated for SIB to gross nodes, extended field, or postop (TIME-C trial for postop cervix and endometrial, IMRT reduced pt reported acute GI and GU toxicity). Otherwise, prob safest to say 3DCRT.

*parametria positive – 45, then boost parametria to 54

Q

Cervix post op dose

A

Post-op

  • Treating for Sedlis criteria, negative margins and negative LN: 45 Gy to pelvis
  • Treating for Positive margins: 45 Gy to pelvis, parametrial boost as above to 54 Gy, vaginal cylinder boost 4Gy x 3 to surface (EQD2 62.4-67Gy) – goal 60-66Gy to areas of concern for positive margins

Parametrial Boost – 54 Gy, if involved, with IMRT

-3D borders – AP/PA – lower sup border to bottom of SI joint, 4-4.5 cm wide midline block – all other borders stay the same

22
Q

Endometrial RT volumes / fields

CTV = int iliac, ext iliac, obturator, pre-sacral if cervical involvement (7mm margin on vessels excluding muscle, bone, and bowel), proximal ½-1/3 of vagina

PTV_nodes=CTV+ 7mm

PTV_vagina=ITV+ 1-1.5 cm

sup: L4/L5
- if PLN+: L3/L4 (cover commons to aorta bifurcation)
- if PALN+ - cover 5 cm above highest node or EFRT (T12/L1 or renal vessels)

Rectum: V40 < 80%

BM: V10<95%; V40<37%

Bowel: V45 < 200cc

V45<25% - femoral heads

A

IA, G1-2: brachy alone (EQD2 80-90, 7.5 x 5)

IA, G3, IB-II: WP (45) + brachy (5 x 5) – prescribed to serosa (so cavity is hotter) – include cervix in volume, along with upper 2/3 of vagina

III-IV: ChemoRT (WP) + interstitial brachy

Brachy device: Y-applicator

-target: uterus, cervix, top 1-4 cm of vagina

Consider progestin-based hormone therapy if ER/PR positive and not candidate for RT

27
Q

A

Pathologically staged:

  • I: confined to vulva:
  • IA: ≤2cm and ≤1mm inv
  • IB: >2cm or >1mm inv (>1mm = 10+% risk of LN involvement)
  • II: invades lower urethra, vagina, or anus
  • IIIA: upper urethra, vagina or rectum
  • IIIB: Node + >5mm
  • IIIC: ECE
    • IVA: fixed to bone or ulcerated nodes
  • IVB: mets, inc pelvic LN
28
Q

Vuvlar IA

A

IA: WLE with 1 cm margin (no LND)

29
Q

Vulvar IB/II

A

IB/II: WLE + inguinal LND

Lateral lesion, cN0, pN0, <2cm: unilateral LND

Central lesion (< 1 cm of midline), cN+, pN+: bilateral LND

RT to primary, LNs as indicated (see below):

*if positive SLN -> recommend dissection*

RT to primary: (based on Heaps surgical review)

1) >5 mm depth of invasion
2) close (<8 mm fixed, 1 cm gross) or positive margin
3) LVSI

*note: if close/pos margin is only indication, re-resect

RT to LNs: any positive nodes

ChemoRT: any positive nodes

***SLNB – GOG 173 (Levenback JCO 2012) showed 92% sensitivity. If tumor < 4 cm, false neg rate <2%

30
Q

Vulvar Stage III-IV

A

1) Preop ChemoRT (cisplatin 40mg/m^2 weekly, RT to 57.6) -> surgical excision of residual disease -> if not resectable continue chemoRT to definitive dose
2) Def chemoRT (unresectable): weekly cisplatin (40 mg/m^2) + RT to 64.8
3) Radical vulvectomy – may require pelvic exenteration

**for positive pelvic nodes, treat with curative intent (even though M1; survival ~45%)

31
Q

Vulvar IMRT volumes

A

GTV=gross disease vulva and nodes

CTV_primary= primary tumor + 2 cm

CTV_nodes=(inguinal vessels + 2-3 cm) + (external/internal iliacs + 1 cm)

PTV= CTV+1 cm

-average depth of femoral vessels ~ 6 cm

32
Q

Vulvar dose

A

Boost the primary (+margin or gross disease) or the groins (ECE)

*Always need to treat nodes if neoadjuvant or definitive*

Dosing:

Post-op: 50.4Gy

+ margin or + ECE: 59.4

Neoadjuvant: 57.6

Gross disease (definitive): 64.8

-always treat the primary – no central blocking (50% recurrence in the Dusenberry study)

33
Q

vulvar constraints

A
  • Femoral heads
  • Max < 50
  • V35 < 35%
    • Small bowel
  • V45 < 200 cc
    • Bladder
  • Max 75
    • Rectum Max 70
    • Skin as tolerated – likely to be dose limiting
34
Q

Vaginal Staging

A
  • I – vagina
  • II: paravaginal
  • III: pelvic sidewall, N+
  • IVA: bladder, rectum
  • IVB: mets
35
Q

Vaginal Stage I

A

: Surgery (vaginectomy and nodal dissection) or definitive RT alone (EBRT + brachy)

36
Q

Vaginal Stage II

A

II: Surgery, if can; chemoradiation or RT alone (if small)

37
Q

Vaginal Stage II+

A

II+: Definitive CRT

  • EBRT + brachy boost
  • Concurrent cisplatin 40 mg weekly x 6

If after EBRT, disease is < 5 mm deep by exam and MRI, can do VC alone. Otherwise do IS (Syed).

IVA: brachy can cause fistula! Consider exenteration
