Preliminary results of adjuvant image-guided vaginal brachytherapy alone for early stage endometrial carcinoma. Gynecol Oncol Rep 2024; 54:101423. [PMID: 38846021 PMCID: PMC11153898 DOI: 10.1016/j.gore.2024.101423] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2024] [Revised: 05/16/2024] [Accepted: 05/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/09/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective This retrospective study evaluated the preliminary outcomes of image-guided vaginal brachytherapy (IG-VBT) in the adjuvant treatment of high intermediate risk endometrial cancer. Materials and Methods Data were collected from 48 patients who underwent adjuvant IG-VBT between 2019 and 2022 at the Division of Radiation Oncology, Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Chiang Mai University. The vaginal cuff clinical target volume (CTV-VC) is composed of a 4-mm-thick band around vaginal cylinder at the upper 3 cm of the vaginal cuff. A total dose of 21 Gy in three fractions was delivered to the CTV-VC, and the dose to the bladder and rectum were evaluated. Treatment details, patient characteristics, and outcomes were analyzed. Descriptive statistics were used for analysis, and Kaplan-Meier method was employed for survival analysis. Results The mean age was 62 years, with mainly endometrioid carcinoma pathology (96 %). All patients were at stage I, with 87.5 % receiving complete surgical staging. Mean total treatment time was 10 days with mean D90 of CTV-VC was 29.7 Gy, and D2cc of bladder, rectum, and sigmoid were 24.6 Gy, 21.0 Gy, and 7.7 Gy, respectively. At a median follow-up of 37 months, 3-year local control, disease-free survival, and overall survival rates were 100 %, 100 %, and 97.9 %. respectively. Two patients (4.2 %) experienced grade 1-2 gastrointestinal toxicity, while no genitourinary toxicity or serious adverse events were observed. Conclusions The preliminary results of IG-VBT in endometrial cancer demonstrated favorable outcomes in terms of vaginal control and toxicity. Further studies with larger cohorts and longer follow-up durations are warranted.

Are 7.5 Gy×2 fractions more efficient than 6 Gy×3 in exclusive postoperative endometrial cancer brachytherapy? A clinical and dosimetrical analysis. Radiother Oncol 2023; 189:109909. [PMID: 37699447 DOI: 10.1016/j.radonc.2023.109909] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/20/2023] [Revised: 09/04/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/14/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare two vaginal brachytherapy (VBT) schedules in postoperative endometrial carcinoma (PEC) patients considering vaginal-cuff relapses (VCR), late toxicities, dosimetry analysis and vaginal dilator use. MATERIAL AND METHODS 110 PEC patients were treated with exclusive high-dose-rate VBT using two schedules. Group-1:44-patients received 6 Gy×3fractions (September-2011-April-2014); Group-2:66-patients were treated with 7.5 Gy×2fractions with a dose limit of equivalent total doses in 2-Gy fr (EQD2(α/β=3)) of 68 Gy in the most exposed 2 cm3 of clinical target volume (CTV) (July-2015-November-2021). The dose was prescribed at 5 mm from the applicator surface. Were evaluated the overall radiation dose delivered to 90% of the CTV (D90), the CTV receiving 100% of the prescription dose (V100) and the EQD2(α/β=3) received in the most exposed 2 cm3 to dose in CTV. Late toxicity was prospectively assessed using RTOG scores for bladder and rectum and objective LENT-SOMA criteria for late vaginal toxicity (LVT). STATISTICS Descriptive analysis, Chi-square, Student's t-tests and Kaplan and Meier method. RESULTS The median follow-up was 60 months (15.9-60). There were no VCR or late toxicities in bladder or rectum. LVT ≥ G1 appeared in 26/44 (59.1%) in Group-1 and 25/66 (37.9%) in Group-2. The mean EQD2(α/β=3) received by the most exposed 2 cm3 of CTV was 63.7 Gy ± 10.0 in Group-1 and 60.5 Gy ± 3.8 in Group-2 (p = 0.063). There were no differences in adherence to vaginal dilator use ≥9 months, overall D90 and V100. CONCLUSION Considering the lack of vaginal relapses and similar LVT over time, 7.5 Gy×2fractions seem more efficient in terms of patient comfort, workload, and cost. This is the first study using dosimetry parameters to compare effectivity of schedules. Larger series are needed to confirm the present results.

Abstract
Recommendations for clinical practice, Nice/Saint-Paul-de-Vence 2022-2023: Management of localized endometrial cancer Endometrial cancer is the most frequent gynecological cancers in industrialized countries and its incidence increases. The newmolecularclassification allows determination of the risk of recurrence and helps orienting therapeutic management. Surgery remains the cornerstone of treatment. Minimally invasive approach must be preferred for stages I and II. Surgery includes hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy even in high risk diseases and omentectomy for non-endometrioid tumors (except in case of clear cells tumors). Fertility preservation can be proposed in low grade, stage I tumors without myometrial involvement. In stage III/IV disease, lymph node debulking without totallymphadenectomy is indicated. In case of peritoneal carcinomatosis, first-line cytoreductive surgery is recommended if complete resection can be achieved. Adjuvant therapy is not recommended in low risk tumors. In intermediate risk tumors, curietherapy is indicated. In tumors with high-intermediate risk, curietherapy and external radiotherapy are indicated according to prognostic factors (stage II, lymphovascular invasion); adjuvant chemotherapy can be considered on a case-by-case basis. In high risk tumors, chemotherapy and external radiotherapy are recommended using a concomitant or sequential approach.

Abstract
The latest European recommendations of the European Societies of Gynecological Oncology (ESGO), Radiotherapy and Oncology (ESTRO) and Anatomopathology (ESP) concerning the management of patients with endometrial cancer were published in 2021. On behalf of the French Society of Gynecologic Oncology (SFOG) and the SFOG campus, we wish to summarize for the French-speaking readership the main measures with a more specific application for France. We also incorporate data from a Delphi survey conducted with a panel of French and French-speaking Swiss experts. The data presented in this article relate to histo-molecular characteristics, radiological data of endometrial cancer, and management of low-risk, intermediate-risk, intermediate-high-risk, and metastatic cancers. The aim of this review article is to show the application of the latest international recommendations to clinicians and pathologists for the implementation of these recommendations.
