Outcomes of pelvic and para-aortic stereotactic reirradiation for gynaecological cancer recurrence.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Recurrence of gynaecological cancer in the pelvis is associated with significant morbidity and can be challenging to treat, particularly when arising in a previously irradiated site. For cases of oligometastatic relapse a targeted approach is preferable, avoiding the need for systemic therapy. Type 1 reirradiation using highly conformal techniques such as stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT) is increasingly used, aiming for disease ablation at the site of relapse. We present an analysis of our institutional experience of using SBRT for gynaecological cancer reirradiation to identify efficacy, toxicity and other factors for appropriate case selection.
