Abstract
Purpose
We sought to utilize the National Cancer Database (NCDB) to evaluate trends in radiation therapy (RT) boost modality and to assess outcomes between varying radiation modalities among medically inoperable endometrial cancer patients with locoregionally confined disease.
Materials and Methods
Patients with inoperable International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage I - IIIC2 endometrial cancer treated with radiation ± chemotherapy were analyzed. Practice patterns compared external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) versus high dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy (BT) boost over time [2004 - 2019]. Kaplan-Meier method evaluated overall survival (OS) and Cox proportional hazard modeling assessed variables associated with OS.
Results
NCDB included 1,209 cases (EBRT: 780, BT: 429). EBRT boost patients were more often older (median age [y] EBRT: 70, BT: 68; p = 0.002), treated at a community or comprehensive community cancer program (p = 0.034), insured by the government (p = 0.018), and clinically node positive (p = 0.034). Phase I RT dose did not differ (median [cGy] EBRT: 4,500, BT: 4,500; p = 0.273), although phase II RT dose was lower among EBRT patients (median [cGy] EBRT: 1,440, BT: 2,080; p < 0.001). From 2004 to 2019, EBRT and BT boost rates differed (p = 0.001) with increasing rates of BT consolidation over time (cases in 2014 EBRT: 64 [76%], BT: 20 [24%]; cases in 2019 EBRT: 44 [46%], BT: 51 [54%]). Receipt of chemotherapy (odds ratio [OR] 1.64, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.05 - 2.56; p = 0.028) was predictive of greater BT utilization while urban or metropolitan areas (rural vs urban OR 0.26, CI 0.092 - 0.74; p = 0.012; rural vs metropolitan OR 0.35, CI 0.14 - 0.92; p = 0.034) and nodal involvement (N0 vs N1 OR 0.47, CI 0.23 - 0.96; p = 0.039; N0 vs N2 OR 0.17, CI 0.035 - 0.84; p = 0.030) were associated with lower utilization of BT. Multivariable analysis (MVA) found BT was associated with lower mortality compared to EBRT (hazard ratio [HR] 0.80, CI 0.68 - 0.95; p = 0.011). MVA found these factors associated with inferior survival: increasing age (HR 1.03, CI 1.02 - 1.04; p < 0.001), greater T stage (T1 vs T2 HR 1.94, CI 1.13 - 3.33; p = 0.016; T1 vs T3 HR 1.66, CI 1.02 - 2.70; p = 0.040), greater N stage (N0 vs N1 HR 1.73, CI 1.20 - 2.49; p = 0.004), and moderately, poorly, or un-differentiated tumor grade (well differentiated [WD] vs moderately differentiated HR 1.28, CI 1.02 - 1.61; p = 0.034; WD vs poorly differentiated HR 1.75, CI 1.37 - 2.25; p < 0.001; WD vs undifferentiated HR 2.17, CI 1.32 - 3.57; p = 0.002).
Conclusions
The utilization of a brachytherapy boost for medically inoperable endometrial cancer has increased over time. Brachytherapy consolidation remains an effective RT modality for medically inoperable endometrial cancer, associated with lower mortality compared to EBRT consolidation.
期刊介绍:
Brachytherapy is an international and multidisciplinary journal that publishes original peer-reviewed articles and selected reviews on the techniques and clinical applications of interstitial and intracavitary radiation in the management of cancers. Laboratory and experimental research relevant to clinical practice is also included. Related disciplines include medical physics, medical oncology, and radiation oncology and radiology. Brachytherapy publishes technical advances, original articles, reviews, and point/counterpoint on controversial issues. Original articles that address any aspect of brachytherapy are invited. Letters to the Editor-in-Chief are encouraged.
