Abstract:
Objective To preliminarily evaluate the feasibility,therapeutic effect and normal tissue complications of stereotactic γ-ray body radiation therapy for patients with asynchronous bilateral renal cell carcinoma.Methods Nine patients with inoperable asynchronous bilateral renal cell carcinoma with a median time from the resection of the primary focus and discovery of the contralateral focus underwent stereotactic γ-ray body radiotherapy with OUR-QGD stereotactic γ-ray whole body therapeutic planning system.50% isodose line,as the prescription dose line,was to cover the planning target volume (PTV) and the 70% isodose line was to cover the gross target volume (GTV).Radiotherapy was delivered,with a single dose of 3-5 Gy per fraction,one fraction per day,5 fractions per week,and totally 10-17 fractions.The PTV edge total dose was 36-51 Gy,and the GTV edge total dose was 60-85 Gy.The patients were followed up for a median time of 24 months to evaluate the local control rate and overall survival rate.Results Of the 9 patients,1 presented complete remission (11.1%) and 4 partial remission (44.5%),with a total effective rate of 55.6%.The 1-,3-,and 5-year local control rates were 64.8%,43.2%,and 43.2% respectively.The 1-,3-,and 5-year overall survival rates were 66.7%,53.3%,and 35.6% respectively.Four patients (44.4%) had acute radiation reaction:2 cases with grade l leukocytopenia and 2 cases with grade 1 gastrointestinal reactions.Two patients showed grade 2 late radiation-induced reaction in gastrointestinal system.The Karnofsky score was significantly increased and the renal function was normal after radiotherapy.Conclusions Stereotactic γ-ray body radiation therapy is safe and effective in the treatment of asynchronous bilateral renal cell carcinoma.
