Tumor-specific outcome of metachronous uterine malignancy after pelvic irradiation for cervical cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To examine survival of women who develop metachronous uterine malignancy after definitive pelvic radiotherapy for cervical cancer.

Methods

This retrospective observational study examined the Surveillance, Epidemiology, End Results Program between 1973 and 2013. Women with cervical cancer who received definitive radiotherapy without hysterectomy were examined for the diagnosis of metachronous uterine malignancy (n = 5277). Survival was compared between metachronous and non-metachronous uterine malignancies according to tumor factors.

Results

The 10- and 20-year cumulative incidences of metachronous uterine malignancy were 0.6% and 1.2%, respectively. When compared to non-metachronous uterine malignancy, metachronous tumor were more likely to be non-endometrioid and advanced-stage (both, P < 0.001). As a whole cohort, metachronous uterine malignancy was significantly associated with decreased overall survival (OS) compared to non-metachronous tumors (hazard ratio [HR] 4.22, P < 0.001). OS was significantly worse in metachronous compared to non-metachronous malignancies, although the magnitude of statistical significance was greater for endometrioid tumors (HRs for endometrioid versus non-endometrioid: 6.17 versus 1.92). For grade 1-2 endometrial cancer, metachronous cases had significantly decreased OS compared to non-metachronous cases, a larger difference than that seen in higher grade tumors (HRs for grade 1-2 versus 3: 7.79 versus 2.15). Similarly, in early-stage endometrial cancer, metachronous cases had significantly decreased OS, with a greater HR compared to advanced-stage disease (HRs for stage I-II versus III-IV: 5.29 versus 2.29).

Conclusion

Radiotherapy-associated metachronous uterine malignancy after cervical cancer is rare but commonly presents with aggressive tumor characteristics. The impact on survival is considerably high when metachronous uterine malignancy is endometrioid, low-grade, and early-stage.

Project description:BackgroundRadiotherapy is one of the main treatments for cervical cancer. Long-term complications of radiation exposure include the emergence of secondary tumors. This is a retrospective study based on an American population. We discuss the optimal treatment modality for patients with radiation-induced secondary uterine malignancy based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database.MethodsThe study included patients with a definitive pathological diagnosis of cervical cancer who were diagnosed with a uterine malignant tumor ≥ 1 year later. Patients in whom cervical cancer was not the first tumor or patients with missing data were excluded. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the COX regression model to screen independent prognostic factors affecting overall survival. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were analyzed using the R software package.ResultsWe screened 142 patients with a secondary uterine malignancy after cervical cancer treatment, 115 patients with a secondary uterine malignancy after radiotherapy, and 27 patients with a secondary uterine malignancy who did not receive radiotherapy. The average latency period for developing a secondary tumor was 8 years, and 57.04% of the patients had a second tumor at ≥ 60 years of age. In patients with a secondary uterine malignancy after radiotherapy, surgery improved the prognosis [hazard ratio (HR), 0.374; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.229-0.612], whereas radiotherapy and chemotherapy did not reduce the risk of death. In the subgroup analysis, the surgery plus chemotherapy group had a significantly better survival prognosis than the other groups (HR, 0.251; 95% CI, 0.122-0.515).ConclusionsThe results suggest that the treatment modality in patients with secondary uterine malignancy after radiotherapy for cervical cancer has a significant impact on survival. The survival outcomes of patients receiving surgery combined with chemotherapy are superior to those of patients receiving other treatments.

Project description:PurposeTo identify dosimetric parameters associated with acute hematological toxicity (HT) and identify the corresponding normal tissue complication probability (NTCP) model in cervical cancer patients receiving helical tomotherapy (Tomo) or fixed-field intensity-modulated radiation therapy (ff-IMRT) in combination with chemotherapy, that is, concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) using the Lyman-Kutcher-Burman normal tissue complication probability (LKB-NTCP) model.MethodsData were collected from 232 cervical cancer patients who received Tomo or ff-IMRT from 2015 to 2018. The pelvic bone marrow (PBM) (including the ilium, pubes, ischia, acetabula, proximal femora, and lumbosacral spine) was contoured from the superior boundary (usually the lumbar 5 vertebra) of the planning target volume (PTV) to the proximal end of the femoral head (the lower edge of the ischial tubercle). The parameters of the LKB model predicting ≥grade 2 hematological toxicity (Radiation Therapy Oncology Group [RTOG] grading criteria) (TD50 (1), m, and n) were determined using maximum likelihood analyses. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify correlations between dose-volume parameters and the clinical factors of HT.ResultsIn total, 212 (91.37%) patients experienced ≥grade 2 hematological toxicity. The fitted normal tissue complication probability model parameters were TD50 (1) = 38.90 Gy (95%CI, [36.94, 40.96]), m = 0.13 (95%CI [0.12, 0.16]), and n = 0.04 (95%CI [0.02, 0.05]). Per the univariate analysis, the NTCP (the use of LKB-NTCP with the set of model parameters found, p = 0.023), maximal PBM dose (p = 0.01), mean PBM dose (p = 0.021), radiation dose (p = 0.001), and V16-53 (p < 0. 05) were associated with ≥grade 2 HT. The NTCP (the use of LKB-NTCP with the set of model parameters found, p = 0.023; AUC = 0.87), V16, V17, and V18 ≥ 79.65%, 75.68%, and 72.65%, respectively (p < 0.01, AUC = 0.66∼0.68), V35 and V36 ≥ 30.35% and 28.56%, respectively (p < 0.05; AUC = 0.71), and V47 ≥ 13.43% (p = 0.045; AUC = 0.80) were significant predictors of ≥grade 2 hematological toxicity from the multivariate logistic regression analysis.ConclusionsThe volume of the PBM of patients treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy and subjected to both low-dose (V16-18 ) and high-dose (V35,36 and V47 ) irradiation was associated with hematological toxicity, depending on the fractional volumes receiving the variable degree of dosage. The NTCP were stronger predictors of toxicity than V16-18 , V35, 36 , and V47 . Hence, avoiding radiation hot spots on the PBM could reduce the incidence of severe HT.
