      Background

      Background: Historically, thoracic reirradiation has been associated with high rates of toxicity from cumulative doses delivered to organs at risk (OARs). Conformal treatment in the form of proton therapy (PT) offers the opportunity to deliver definitive doses of radiotherapy with limited dose to surrounding OARs. We performed dosimetric analyses of patients undergoing thoracic re-irradiation with PT to identify parameters associated survival outcomes.

      Methods: We identified patients with complete clinical and dosimetric information who received thoracic re-irradiation with PT on an IRB-approved prospective patient registry. Prior radiation courses were fused with PT plans to create composite plans, which were recalculated to an equivalent dose of 200 cGy per fraction (EQD2) using an α/β of 3. Toxicity was retrospectively assessed using CTCAE v4.0. Toxicity, disease control, and survival were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. The Cox proportional hazards model was used to estimate hazard ratios for univariate analysis (UVA), and significant dosimetric parameters were further assessed using cutpoint analysis. Patients were dichotomized based on these cutpoints, and survival differences were assessed using the log-rank test.

      Results: A total of 25 patients were included with a median age of 64 years (range 26-89). The majority of patients had non-small cell lung cancer (84%). Median PT re-irradiation dose was 6000 CGE (range 4000-6250) in 30 fractions (range 5-30 fractions). At a median follow-up of 17.5 months (range 1-34), one-year rates of local control, distant control, and overall survival, were 70.9%, 55.6%, and 71.2% respectively. No grade 4/5 toxicities were observed, and there were 5 late grade 3 events (2 non-malignant pleural effusions, 2 episodes of hemoptysis, 1 one esophageal stricture) with an estimated rate of 21% at 1 year. UVA revealed worse survival in patients with increasing maximum dose to the esophagus, carina, heart, pulmonary artery, and spinal cord, and increasing mean dose to the esophagus (p<0.05 for each). Patients who received a cumulative point max dose of ≥ 7500 cGy to the esophagus, ≥11620 cGy to the heart, ≥ 12000 cGy to the pulmonary artery, or ≥ 3250 mean dose to the esophagus had significantly worse survival than those who did not (all p<0.05).

      Conclusion: PT re-irradiation is a viable treatment option for patients with thoracic recurrences and offers excellent outcomes with limited toxicity. In this study, we identified dosimetric parameters associated with worse survival that can be used in treatment planning for recurrent disease.
