What are the SABR commissioning criteria
Confirmed histological diagnosis of metastatic carcinoma/sarcoma/melanoma
Disease free interval between primary treatment & manifestation of metastases of at least 6mths
1-3 sites of extra cranial, metastatic disease in 1-2 organs, including bone & spine, LN, liver, adrenal gland and/or lung
Maximum size of 5cm for any singe met
Life expectancy ≥6mths
PS ≤2
What tumours most commonly cause leptomeningeal disease
Breast, lung, melanoma
what factors should be considered when considering RT treatment of brain mets
Controlled or treatable extracranial disease
PS 0-1 (KPS ≥70)
Prognosis of at least 6mths
When should fractionated intracranial RT be considered over SRS
What dose is typically used for fractionated RT
Lesions larger 2-3cm, lesions close to a critical OAR or where V12Gy ≥10cm3 (the volume of normal tissue, excluding GTV, that receives at least 12Gy)
V12Gy of 5, 10 and >15cm3 = risk of radio necrosis of 10%, 15% and 20%
27Gy/3# or 30Gy/5#
What is the differential for small round blue cells seen on histology
ARSEPWMN
A - Acute leukaemia
R - rhabdomyosarcoma
S - Small cell lung cancer
E - Ewings sarcoma
P - PNET
W - Wilms tumour
M - Medulloblastoma
N - neuroblastoma
When is sentinel LN biopsy indicated for penile cancer
All except G1 T1
What defines a T1 penile cancer
T1 - sub epithelial connective tissue involvement
T1a - No LVSI and not poorly differentiated (G1-2)
T1b - LVSI or poorly differentiated (Gr 3-4)
What defines a T2 / T3 / T4 penile cancer
T2 - Invasion into corpus spongiosum +/- urethra
T3 - invasion into corpus cavernosum +/- urethra
T4 - invasion into other structures
How is nodal status categorised for penile cancer
N1 - unilateral inguinal nodal involvement
N2 - Multiple mobile or bilateral inguinal nodes
N3 - Fixed inguinal nodal mass or pelvic nodes
What tumours tend to be CK7- & CK20+
CK7-/CK20+ colorectal adenocarcinoma
What tumours tend to be CK7+ & CK20-
CK7+/CK20- “BBTSEX” = Breast, Bronchus (NSCLC), Thyroid, Salivary, Endometrial, Cervix
What tumours tend to be CK7- & CK20-
CK7-/CK20- HCC, RCC, prostate, SCLC & neuroendocrine tumours
What tumours tend to be CK7+ & CK20+
CK7+/CK20+ TCC bladder, pancreas, mucinous ovarian
How is immunotherapy induced colitis graded and managed
Gr1 - increase of ≤3 stools per day over baseline
Mx: continue ICI, symptomatic mx
Gr2 - increase of 4-6 stools per day over baseline
Mx: stop ICI, symptomatic mx & oral steroids
Gr3 - increase of >7 stools per day over baseline
Mx: stop ICI, symptomatic mx & IV MP, infliximab or vedolizumab if no improvement
Gr4 - life threatening
Mx: stop ICI and do not restart
How is immunotherapy induced hepatitis graded and managed
Gr1 - LFT up to 3x ULN
Mx: continue ICI, symptomatic mx & recheck bloods 1-2wkly
Gr2 - LFT 3-5x ULN
Mx: stop ICI, consider oral steroids
Gr3 - LFT up to 5-20x ULN
Mx: if ALT or AST <400 - oral steroids, if >400 - IV steroid.
Gr4 - LFT >20x ULN
Mx: IV MP
