Long-Term Outcomes of NRG Oncology/RTOG 0529: A Phase 2 Evaluation of Dose-Painted Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy in Combination With 5-Fluorouracil and Mitomycin-C for the Reduction of Acute Morbidity in Anal Canal Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

A multi-institutional phase 2 trial assessed long-term outcomes of dose-painted intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) with 5-fluorouracil (5FU) and mitomycin-C (MMC) for anal canal cancer.

Methods and materials

T2-4N0-3M0 anal cancers received 5FU (1000 mg/m²/d, 96-hour infusion) and MMC (10 mg/m² bolus) on days 1 and 29 of dose-painted IMRT prescribed as follows: T2N0 = 42 Gy elective nodal and 50.4 Gy anal tumor planning target volumes, 28 fractions; T3-4N0-3 = 45Gy elective nodal, 50.4 Gy ≤3 cm and 54 Gy >3cm metastatic nodal and 54 Gy anal tumor planning target volumes, 30 fractions. Local-regional failures, distant metastases, and colostomy failures were assessed using the cumulative incidence method, and disease-free survival, overa
