Abstract
Purpose
Definitive intent radiation therapy (RT) for early-stage mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma typically includes a dose of 24 to 30 Gy. While modest, these doses may have associated toxicity. For patients with indolent B-cell lymphoma, there is increasing support for the use of ultra–low-dose RT (ULDRT) using 4 Gy in 2 fractions as part of a response-adapted approach, as high rates of complete response have been documented. This paradigm has been prospectively evaluated in the management of orbital and gastric indolent B-cell lymphomas; however, there is limited data guiding the use of ULDRT for lung MALT.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective review of 20 patients at our institution with lung MALT treated with ULDRT as part of a response-adapted approach. Clinical variables including prior systemic therapy and symptoms were abstracted from the electronic health record. Responses were assessed using the revised Lugano criteria.
Results
At a median follow up of 17 months following 4 Gy (IQR, 8-37 months), we observed 100% local control. Nineteen patients (95%) experienced a complete response. No patients with stage IE disease at RT (17/20; 85%) experienced distant progression. Nine patients (45%) were symptomatic prior to RT, with improvement or resolution of symptoms in 7 (7/9; 78%). One patient developed grade 2 pleuritic pain following RT, which resolved with a brief course of steroids. No other toxicities were noted.
Conclusions
ULDRT, given in a response-adapted approach, is effective and well tolerated by patients with lung MALT.
期刊介绍:
The purpose of Advances is to provide information for clinicians who use radiation therapy by publishing: Clinical trial reports and reanalyses. Basic science original reports. Manuscripts examining health services research, comparative and cost effectiveness research, and systematic reviews. Case reports documenting unusual problems and solutions. High quality multi and single institutional series, as well as other novel retrospective hypothesis generating series. Timely critical reviews on important topics in radiation oncology, such as side effects. Articles reporting the natural history of disease and patterns of failure, particularly as they relate to treatment volume delineation. Articles on safety and quality in radiation therapy. Essays on clinical experience. Articles on practice transformation in radiation oncology, in particular: Aspects of health policy that may impact the future practice of radiation oncology. How information technology, such as data analytics and systems innovations, will change radiation oncology practice. Articles on imaging as they relate to radiation therapy treatment.
