AIM: To analyze patterns of failure, toxicity, relapse-free survival (RFS), and overall survival (OS) in malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) patients treated with intensity-modulated radiation therapy following extrapleural pneumonectomy (EPP).
METHODS: We reviewed 18 charts of patients with MPM from 2005 to 2014 who underwent EPP followed by hemithoracic intensity-modulated radiation therapy. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy dose delivery adhered to published lung dose constraints. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to assess the RFS and OS. Median survival times are reported for both RFS and OS.
RESULTS: Median age was 65 years (range: 40-76 years). Chemotherapy was administered in four neo-adjuvant and seven adjuvant patients. Pathological American Joint Committee on Cancer stages II, III, IV, surgical margin, lympho-vascular space, pericardium, and chest wall involvement were seen in 3, 12, 3, 9, 7, 12 and 3 patients, respectively. The majority of the patients received 45 Gy in 25 fractions. The mean lung dose was 7.14 Gy (range: 5 Gy-9.3 Gy). The mean V20 was 2.23%. At a median follow-up of 3 years, eight patients were alive (44%); 10 experienced relapse (56%). Median RFS and OS were 24.4 months (95% CI: >16.3 months) and 38.2 months (95% CI: 17.4-78.1 months), respectively. Acute toxicities were fatigue, dermatitis, nausea, esophagitis/dysphagia, cough, and dyspnea on exertion. No grade III, IV, or fatal pulmonary toxicities were observed.
CONCLUSION: Intensity-modulated radiation therapy following EPP for MPM resulted in RFS and OS comparable to the published literature without significant toxicity.
