Bradford Hoppe MD, MPH William Hartsell, MD Proton Therapy Patterns-of-Care and Early Outcomes for Hodgkin Lymphoma: Results from the Proton Collaborative Group Registry
Background Hodgkin lymphoma survivors are at the highest risk of late complications among cancer survivors CCSS-
Background Radiation oncology Reduce the radiation dose Reduce the radiation field size Utilize more conformal radiation techniques
3D-CRT IMRT Protons
3D-CRT IMRT Protons
3D-CRT IMRT Protons
Background Limited data exists utilizing conformal techniques IMRT- 3 studies (N=140 patients) Proton Therapy- 2 studies (N=20 patients)
Purpose Evaluate patients receiving proton therapy for Hodgkin lymphoma and describe the early results
Registry Evaluation Tracking Project: A Prospective Chart Review of Patients Treated with Radiation Therapy (REG001-09)
Methods Utilized the registry to identify patients treated with chemotherapy followed by consolidative proton therapy between June 2008 and March 2015. Identified 40 patients 50 patients treated for HL Excluded 8 relapse/refractory patients. Excluded 1 patient with composite NHL/HL. Excluded 1 patient with just a proton boost.
Results Patient characteristics Median age was 21 years old 36% were pediatric (<19 years old) 80% were under 30 years old 48% were female
Results Disease Characteristics 68% Stage I/II 32% Stage III/IV 93% Mediastinal involvement 65% Bulky disease 48% B symptoms Risk stratification 23% Early Favorable (IA/IIA) 45%- Early Unfavorable (I/II B or X) 33%- Advanced Stage (III, IV)
Results Treatment Characteristics Pediatric patients Adult patients ABVE-PC chemotherapy – 79% Median RT dose- 21 Gy (RBE) (21-25.5 Gy) Adult patients ABVD chemotherapy – 88% Median RT dose- 30.6 Gy (RBE) (21-36 Gy) All patients treated with ISRT field design
Results Median follow up 21 months (range 4-47) 2 year progression-free survival 85%
Pattern of Relapse 3 relapses 2 in-field in bulky mediastinum after 21 Gy 1 out-of-field in cervical neck after receiving 30 Gy to the mediastinum. Would have been outside a photon field
Toxicity No grade 3 toxicities
Conclusions Consolidative proton therapy following standard chemotherapy in HL is primarily used in young patients with bulky mediastinal disease Early relapse-free survival rates are similar to those reported with photons Longer follow up is needed to assess late toxicities.
