Common RT-associated histologies
undifferentiated (pleomorphic) sarcoma
angiosarcoma
malignant fibrous histiocytoma, fibrosarcoma, MPNST
Histologies with nodes
CARE: clear cell, angiosarcoma, rhabdo, epithelioid
Histology with spine mets
Myxoid liposarcoma
Hallmark of NF1
benign neurofibromas, MPNST
Hallmark of familial polyposis
desmoid tumors
Hallmark of retinoblastoma and Li-Fraumeni syndrome
Bone and STS
Type of biopsy required
core
Imaging required
MRI, CT chest (PET only if LN risk)
Typical pre-op dose
50 Gy
Typical post-op dose
60-66 Gy
Original NCI study
43 patients, amputation vs. limb sparing surgery + RT (45-50 Gy plus boost to 60-70 Gy); RT improved LC but no effect on OS
2nd NCI study
141 patients with extremity sarcoma, limb sparing surgery + RT (with concurrent chemo) vs. surgery with chemo - improved LC with RT, no difference in OS
MSKCC study
164 patients with limb sparing surgery with adjuvant BT (Ir-192) vs. observation - LC advantage for BT ONLY in high grade, 50% wound complication rates
O’Sullivan study
190 patients RCT - preop (50 Gy) vs. postop (66 Gy) showing greater rates of wound complications within 4 months in PREOP group (35% vs. 17%) no differences in outcomes at tradeoff of greater risk of fibrosis/edema in POSTOP group
Site of worst wound complications for preop RT
Lower extremity/thigh
RTOG 0630
Volume reduction study showed improvement in 2 year toxicity no diff in LC
Preop CTV margins (large)
If high grade, >8 cm, 3 cm sup/inf, 1.5 cm radially (+T2 edema)
Preop CTV margins (small)
If low grade or <8 cm, 2 cm sup/inf, 1 cm radially (+T2 edema)
Postop CTV margins
CTV1 (50 Gy): 4 cm sup/inf, 1.5 cm radially
CTV2 (10-16 Gy): 2 cm sup/inf, 1.5 cm radially
Retroperitoneal sarcoma margins
GTV –> ITV –> 1.5 cm circumferentially (CTV)
Bowel contour approach
contour as bowel bag
Stomach constraint for RP sarcoma
V45 <100%, V50 <50%, Dmax <56 Gy
