Abstract
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of 3-dimensional printing noncoplanar template (3D-PNCT)-assisted computed tomography (CT)-guided high-dose-rate interstitial brachytherapy (HDR-ISBT) for reirradiation of pelvic recurrent cervical carcinoma after external beam radiotherapy.
Methods: From January 2019 to August 2023, 45 eligible patients were enrolled in this prospective cohort. All patients underwent 3D-PNCT-assisted CT-guided HDR-ISBT with a prescribed dose of 4-7 Gy/fraction to the high-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTV) over 3-8 fractions, either for curative or palliative purposes. The primary endpoints were local progression-free survival (LPFS) and tumor response rate (TRR). The secondary outcome measures included overall survival (OS), toxicities, and symptom resolution.
Results: Forty-five patients received 261 fractions of 3D-PNCT-assisted HDR-ISBT. Twenty-nine patients had isolated pelvic recurrence, and 16 patients had simultaneous extra-pelvic or distant recurrences. The TRR was 66.7%. The 2- and 5-year LPFS rates were 30.0% and 25.7%, respectively. The median OS was 23.2 months, and 2- and 5-year OS rates were 49.5% and 34.0%, respectively. The multivariate analysis indicated that squamous cell carcinoma, radical surgery, recurrence-free interval≥12 months, tumor diameter, pelvic recurrence type, and HR-CTV D90≥45 Gy were independent factors influencing LPFS (all p<0.05). D100≥21 Gy, V100≥83%, and V150≥45% were associated with better LPFS (all p<0.05). Tumor diameter and metastasis were independent predictive factors for OS (all p<0.05). The pain relief rate was 66.7% (10/15). Grade 3-4 toxicities occurred in 20.0% of patients.
Conclusion: 3D-PNCT-assisted HDR-ISBT for reirradiation of recurrent cervical cancer proved to be an effective and safe alternative to radical surgery.
