Radiation Oncology/NHL:TOC


Epidemiyoloji

değiştir
  • Median age of presentation for non-HIV related primary CNS lymphoma is 6th decade. HIV related presentation is related to stage of HIV.
  • Incidence has increased 10-fold in past 30 years, and the increase cannot be totally explained by the advent of HIV.
  • Has traditionally accounted for 1% of intracranial neoplasms in immunocompetent patients. The fraction now is estimated at 4%.
  • Impacts two distinct populations:
    • Immunocompromised (HIV, organ transplantation, immunodeficiency syndromes) - arise from EBV infection of B-cell lymphocytes
    • Immunocompetent - no known etiology. B-cells have no normal role in the brain

Pathology

değiştir
  • Usually B-cell histology
  • T-cell variants account for <5% of PCNSL in developed countries; their behavior is very similar to B-cells
  • 85% are either aggressive or highly aggressive variants of NHL


  • PCNSL Collaborative Group; 2005 PMID 15800313 -- "Primary CNS lymphoma of T-cell origin: a descriptive analysis from the international primary CNS lymphoma collaborative group." (Shenkier TN, J Clin Oncol. 2005 Apr 1;23(10):2233-9.)
    • Retrospective. 12 centers in 7 countries. 45 patients. Median age 60 years, 44% ECOG 0-1, 58% cerebral hemispheres, 26% deep lesions. LDH elevated in 32%, CSF elevated in 79%
    • Outcome: DSS 2-year 51%, 5-year 17%
    • Positive predictors: ECOG 0-1, MTX use
    • Conclusion: Presentation and outcome similar to B-cell PCNSL

Anatomy

değiştir
  • Primary CNS Lymphoma
  •  
    MRI T1 Axial
  •  
    MRI T1 Coronal
  •  
    MRI T1 Sagittal
  •  
    MRI T2 Axial



  • Restricted to brain, CFS, eyes, or rarely spinal cord
  • Clinicopathologic variants include intracranial lesions, diffuse leptomeningeal or periventricular, vitreous, and spinal lesions.
  • Intracranial primary CNS lymphoma are generally 75% supratentorial and 25% infratentorial.
  • Primary CNS lymphoma is multifocal in 50% of AIDS-related variants, and multifocal in 25% of immunocompetent variants.
  • MRI significantly underestimates extent of involvement; PCNSL is considered to be a diffuse infiltrating disease
  • Classified as Stage IE NHL, because they are typically restricted to a single extranodal site

Prognostic Factors

değiştir
  • Multiple factors for poor prognosis: Age >60, ECOG PS >1, elevated LDH, elevated CSF protein, deep regions of the brain
  • European Stratification: 5 variables above. Risk groups: 0-1 factors, 2-3 factors, 4-5 factors
  • MSKCC Stratification: 2 variables, age and KPS

Treatment

değiştir

Overview

değiştir
  • Debulking surgery typically does not play a role, unless patients have masses that threaten impending herniation
  • Steroids should not be given, unless necessary to prevent herniation, since they can induce significant tumor regression and mask pathology. However, if steroids are given, immunostaining may still be possible even on dead cells
  • Treatment for CNS lymphoma traditionally consisted of whole brain radiation therapy. The results were generally dismal. Although there is a high initial response rate to radiation, the vast majority of patients relapsed within the brain, and died of their disease. Median survival was 1 - 1.5 years, with 5-year OS ~5%
  • Due to rarity of this disease, most studies are Phase II trials
  • RTOG 8315 attempted to dose escalate brain treatment, but ultimately found unacceptably high rates of late side effects without significant improvement in overall survival. Ideal dose appears to be somewhere between 40 and 50 Gy; less than 40 Gy leads to worse survival, more than 50 Gy to worse neurotoxicity
  • Even though CHOP is very effective in systemic NHL, its results in PCNSL have been disappointing
  • Phase II single arm RTOG 9310 showed that chemo followed by RT consolidation had better outcomes than RT alone compared to historical controls. However, there was high neurotoxicity in patients >60 with combined modality therapy
  • High dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) based chemo has become the backbone of primary treatment. Consolidative WBRT is too toxic for older patients (>60) and should be deferred. The role of consolidative WBRT in young patients (<60) is unclear, but appears to improve outcome. Median survival with sequential chemo-RT, as well as high dose chemo alone is now ~4 years
  • Going forward, attempts are to optimize chemo regimens to defer neurotoxicity from consolidative WBRT


Current NCCN guidelines for treatment:

  • For patient with KPS >40 and creatinine clearance >50, high dose MTX based chemotherapy is considered the standard treatment.
  • If CSF cytology is positive, consider intrathecal chemotherapy.
  • For patient with KPS <40 or creatinine clearance <50, WBRT to 45 Gy.

Current indications for radiation therapy:

  • Consider as post-chemotherapy treatment in initial management of select younger patients (see RTOG 9310).
  • Recurrent disease resistant to MTX based chemotherapy.
  • Radiation should be avoided in patients >60 when possible.

Sequential Chemo-WBRT

değiştir
  • RTOG 0227 Protocol -- "Phase I/II Study of Pre-Irradiation Chemotherapy with Methotrexate, Rituximab, and Temozolomide and Post-Irradiation Temozolomide for Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma"
    • Opened protocol: Rituximab + Temozolomide + Methotrexate -> WBRT 36/30 in 1.2 Gy BID -> Temozolomide
  • EORTC 20962 (1997-2002)
    • Phase II. 52 patients. Non-AIDS-related. MBVP (methotrexate (MTX) teniposide carmustine methylprednisolone) x 2 cycles with 2x IT-MTX, ara-C, and HC. Followed by 40 Gy WBRT.
    • 2003 PMID 14597741 — "High-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy followed by consolidating radiotherapy in non-AIDS-related primary central nervous system lymphoma: European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Lymphoma Group Phase II Trial 20962." Poortmans PM et al. J Clin Oncol. 2003 Dec 15;21(24):4483-8. Median F/U 2.2 years.
      • Outcome: median OS 3.8 years. 3-yr OS 58%.
      • Toxicity: Grade 3-4 neutropenia 78%; 10% deaths treatment-related
      • Conclusion: MBVP followed by WBRT has a high response rate, but is very toxic
  • RTOG 9310 (1994-1997)
    • Phase II prospective single arm trial. 98 patients. HIV-. Pre-radiation chemotherapy included MTX, vincristine, procarbazine and intraventricular MTX. RT was WBRT to 45 Gy; if ocular lymphoma then eyes 36/20. During study, protocol modified such that if CR after chemo, WBRT 36/30 BID. After RT, patients received hi-dose cytarabine.

      • Outcome: Median OS 50.4 months in patients <60, and 21.8 months in patients >60 (overall 36.9 months); 5-year OS 32%, no difference if CR after chemo or not
      • Toxicity: 15% patients experienced severe delayed neurologic toxicity.
      • Conclusions: HD-MTX based regimen combined with consolidative RT is superior to RT alone when the overall survival data are compared to historical data. However, patients over age 60 had significant risk of late toxicity from the combined treatment.
    • HFX-RT; 2005 PMID 16193393 -- "Secondary analysis of Radiation Therapy Oncology Group study (RTOG) 9310: an intergroup phase II combined modality treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma." (Fisher B, J Neurooncol. 2005 Sep;74(2):201-5.)
      • Retrospective. 82 patients, 66 standard WBRT (45/25) and 16 HFX (36/30)
      • Neurotoxicity: Grade 5 (fatal): 10%, HFX 13% vs. RT 9% (NS); leukoencephalopathy later in HFX group. None of CR to chemo developed Grade 5 neurotoxicity
      • Outcome: no difference
      • Conclusion: HFX 25% lower BED dose, but no difference on PFS and OS. It delayed but not eliminate severe neurotoxicity

    • Retrospective. 57 patients, average 65 years old, median KPS 70. Treated with HD-MTX x5 cycles + vincristine. Intra-Ommaya MTX, procarbazine. Then WBRT 45 Gy, followed by Ara-C 2 cycles. WBRT deferred for 68% patients >60. Median F/U 9.6 years for surviving patients
    • Outcome: median OS 4.2 years, median PFS 10.7 years. Median OS for age >60 was 2.4 years, regardless of RT. Median OS for age <60 (most chemo-WBRT) not reached yet
    • Conclusion: Excellent survival. For older patients, defer WBRT. For younger patients, deferring WBRT may significantly compromise disease control
  • Trans-Tasman Radiation Oncology Group, TROG, (1991-97)
    • Phase II. 46 pts. IV MTX (1 g/m2; days 1,8) + leucovorin. Pts with positive CSF received intrathecal Ara-C 60 mg twice/wk x 3 weeks, continued weekly x 3 after clearance of CSF. WBRT began on day 15, 45 Gy in 25 fx (180 cGy/d) with a boost to 50.4 Gy if localized involvement or whole brain dose to 50.4 Gy if diffuse.

      • 5-yr OS 37%, MS 36m. 30% actuarial risk of neurotoxicity.
      • Conclusion: combined modality treatment results in improved outcome compared to historical controls.
  • CHOD-BVAM I/II (1990-1995)
    • 2 simultaneous phase II prospective trials to evaluate reduced WBRT. 57 patients. Initial chemotherapy CHOD/BVAM. CR after chemo would place the patient into the BVAM II study (WBRT 30.6 Gy). A non-CR after chemo would place the patient into BVAM I (WBRT 45 Gy + 10 Gy boost to single lesion).
    • 2002 PMID 11773174 -- "Importance of radiotherapy in the outcome of patients with primary CNS lymphoma: an analysis of the CHOD/BVAM regimen followed by two different radiotherapy treatments." (Bessell EM, J Clin Oncol. 2002 Jan 1;20(1):231-6.)
      • Outcome: Reduced WBRT only predictor of relapse: standard WBRT 29% vs. reduced WBRT 70%. Age >60 only predictor for OS (RR 2.1). In young patients (<60), WBRT dose only predictor for OS: standard WBRT 92% vs. reduced WBRT 60% (SS)
      • Toxicity: Incidence of RT-induced dementia rare in patients <60 years
      • Conclusion: Reduction in WBRT dose in young patients after HD-MTX chemo results in increased risk of relapse and lower OS

    • Phase II single arm. 65 patients. High dose MTX and Ara-C based chemotherapy (other chemo agents used include dexamethasone, vinca-alkaloids, ifosfamide, CTX). Intraventricular MTX, prednisolone, and Ara-C were also administered. Median F/U 2.2 years
    • Outcome: Median TTF 1.7 years, median OS 4.2 years. If >60 years, median OS 2.8 years; not reached for <60 years
    • Toxicity: 9% died of treatment related complications. 3% had permanent cognitive dysfunction.
    • Conclusion: Primary chemo with HD-MTX and ARA-C is highly efficient, and outcomes comparable to chemo + RT
