1
Q

WIthin how much time after surgery should a Wilms tumor be treated?

A
  • 9 days!
    – Unf. histology: Delay beyond 10 days is a/w higher chance of abdominal recurrence
    – Fav. histology: Initiation within 14 days is acceptable

Q

Within how much time after surgery should a RMS be treated?

A
  • RT sequencing depends on risk grouping
    – Low-risk: Week 13
    – Int-risk: Week 13
    – High-risk: Week 20
    – If RT does not start by week 20, start it by week 47

Q

What radiation dose can be used to treat spinal cord compression 2/2 neuroblastoma?

A
  • < 3 yrs
    – 9 Gy (1.8 Gy x 5 fx)
  • > 3 yrs
    – 21.6 Gy

Note that CHT alone is preferred to spare children late effects of RT

Hook: 9 x 3 = 21

Q

What is the staging for RMS?

A

Staging is based on size, location, nodal status, presence of metastases

84
Q

How are RT volumes defined for Ewing sarcoma per modern protocols?

A
  • GTV1: pre-surg and pre-CHT disease
    – CTV1
    – GTV1 + 1 cm
    – Include regional LN chains for LN+
    – Edit at anatomic barriers
    – PTV1 = CTV1 + 0.5 cm
  • GTV2: residual disease after induction CHT ± surgery
    – CTV2 = GTV2 + 1 cm
    – PTV2 = CTV2 + 0.5 cm
  • Special considerations:
    – CW tumors w/ ipsilateral pleural nodules and/or isolated pleural fluid involvement:
    – CTV3: ipsilateral hemithorax.
    – PTV3 accounts for organ motion as well as a 0.5-1 cm geometric expansion
    – Vertebral body tumors: CTV1 to include the entire vertebral body.
    – Extremity tumors: circumferential irradiation of extremity lymphatics and treatment across a joint should be avoided unless absolutely necessary for tumor coverage.
    – Orbit: CTV should not extend outside of the bony orbit, providing there is no bone erosion of the orbit
    – Intra-abdominal/retroperitoneal/pelvic: whole abdominal radiotherapy is indicated for malignant ascites or diffuse peritoneal involvement
