BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The aim of the study is to examine the present status of reirradiation with high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy for recurrent gynecologic cancer in Japan and to determine the role of this therapy in clinical practice.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective multicenter chart review was performed for reirradiation for gynecologic cancer using HDR brachytherapy. Each center provided information on patient characteristics, treatment outcomes, and complications.
RESULTS: The study included 165 patients treated at 9 facilities from 2000 to 2018. The analysis of outcomes included 142 patients treated with curative intent. The median follow-up time for survivors was 30 months (range 1-130 months). The 3-year overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and local control (LC) rates were 53 % (95 %CI: 42-63 %), 44 % (35-53 %), and 61 % (50-70 %) for cervical cancer; 100 % (NA), 64 % (30-85 %), and 70 % (32-89 %) for endometrial cancer; and 54 % (13-83 %), 38 % (6-72 %), and 43 % (6-78 %) for vulvar and vaginal cancer, respectively. In multivariate analysis, interval to reirradiation (<1 year) was a significant risk factor for OS, PFS and LC; Gross Tumor Volume (≥25 cm3) was a significant risk factor for OS. Toxicities were analyzed in all enrolled patients (n = 165). Grade ≥ 3 late toxicities occurred in 49 patients (30 %). A higher cumulative EQD2 (α/β = 3) was significantly associated with severe complications.
CONCLUSION: Reirradiation with HDR brachytherapy for recurrent gynecologic cancer is effective, especially in cases with a long interval before reirradiation.
