Abstract

Purpose

To evaluate the clinicopathological characteristics and the effectiveness of post-operative high-dose-rate (HDR) interventional radiotherapy (IRT - brachytherapy) in managing advanced ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) and eyelid tumors.

Methods

Nineteen patients with advanced malignancies affecting the ocular surface (stage ≥ T2) and eyelids (staging ≥ T3) were enrolled. Post-operative HDR-IRT treatment followed surgery after multidisciplinary discussion. In our series a total dose of 49 Gy was administered in 14 fractions of 3.5 Gy each, 2 doses per day. Local disease control is the study's main outcome. Death rate, total survival, disease-free survival, and toxicity are secondary outcomes.

Results

Local recurrence was observed in 4 cases, 2 were conjunctival melanomas and 2 were conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma. The median OS was 56.3 months. The 12, 24 and 36 months survival rate was respectively 100.00% (IQR: 100.00% - 100.00%), 100.00% (IQR: 100.00% - 100.00%), 100.00% (IQR: 100.00% - 100.00%) respectively . The median DFS was 56.3 months. The 12, 24 and 36 months disease survival rate was respectively 85.71% (IQR: 69.21% - 100.00%), 68.57% (IQR: 42.11% - 100.00%), 68.57% (IQR: 42.11% - 100.00%) respectively. In eyelid tumors, madarosis and eyelid abnormalities are the main side effects, while in OSSNs, dry eye symptoms are frequently reported.

Conclusion

Postoperative HDR-IRT has been effective in advanced eyelid cancers control. More challenging appears instead an effective treatment of advanced OSSNs, particularly conjunctival melanomas. Multicenter studies are needed to get a larger patient sample and to evaluate different radiotherapy dosages by different histologic and T types of tumors.

针对晚期眼表癌和眼睑癌的新型综合疗法--手术和高剂量率介入放射治疗（近距离放疗）。

目的：评估晚期眼表鳞状肿瘤（OSSN）和眼睑肿瘤的临床病理特征以及术后高剂量率（HDR）介入放射治疗（IRT-近距离放射治疗）的疗效：方法：19 名患有晚期眼表恶性肿瘤（分期≥ T2）和眼睑恶性肿瘤（分期≥ T3）的患者入选。经多学科讨论后，患者在手术后接受 HDR-IRT 治疗。在我们的系列研究中，总剂量为 49 Gy，分 14 次进行，每次 3.5 Gy，每天 2 次。局部疾病控制是研究的主要结果。死亡率、总生存率、无病生存率和毒性是次要结果：结果：4例观察到局部复发，其中2例为结膜黑色素瘤，2例为结膜鳞状细胞癌。中位生存期为 56.3 个月。12、24和36个月的生存率分别为100.00%（IQR：100.00% - 100.00%）、100.00%（IQR：100.00% - 100.00%）、100.00%（IQR：100.00% - 100.00%）。中位生存期为 56.3 个月。12、24和36个月的疾病生存率分别为85.71%（IQR：69.21% - 100.00%）、68.57%（IQR：42.11% - 100.00%）、68.57%（IQR：42.11% - 100.00%）。眼睑肿瘤的主要副作用是眩晕和眼睑异常，OSSN的主要副作用是干眼症状：结论：术后 HDR-IRT 对晚期眼睑癌的控制有效。结论：术后 HDR-IRT 能有效控制晚期眼睑癌，但要有效治疗晚期 OSSN，尤其是结膜黑色素瘤，似乎更具挑战性。需要进行多中心研究，以获得更多的患者样本，并评估不同组织学和T型肿瘤的不同放疗剂量。
