Abstract

Delivery of SBRT to central thoracic tumours within 2 cm of the proximal bronchial tree (PBT), and especially ultra-central tumours which directly abut the PBT, has been controversial due to concerns about high risk of toxicity and treatment-related death when delivering high doses close to critical mediastinal structures. We present dosimetric and clinical outcomes from a group of oligometastatic patients treated with a risk-adapted SBRT approach. Between September 2015 and October 2018, 27 patients with 28 central thoracic oligometastases (6 moderately central, 22 ultra-central) were treated with 60 Gy in 8 fractions under online CBCT guidance. PTV dose was compromised where necessary to meet mandatory OAR constraints. Patients were followed up for toxicity and disease status. Mandatory OAR constraints were met in all cases; this required PTV coverage compromise in 23 cases, with V100% reduced to <70% in 11 cases. No acute or late toxicities of Grade ≥ 3 were reported. One and 2 year in-field control rates were 95.2% and 85.7% respectively, progression-free survival rates were 42.8% and 23.4% respectively, and overall survival rates were 82.7% and 69.5% respectively. No significant differences were seen in control or survival...Continue Reading

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.
