Purpose or Objective
In-transit metastases (ITM) of
melanoma are locoregional recurrences confined to superficial lymphatics. Occurrence
is 3.4–6.2%. Disproportionately in lower limbs due to gravity and greater lymphatic
network. We present a retrospective review of an innovative technique.
Material and Methods
Five consecutive
patients treated between April 2011-august 2018 with tomotherapy using
hypofractionated regimen of 30 Gy in 6 fractions at 2 fractions/week over 3
weeks. First patient received 3 x 8 Gy
and last patient an integrated boost (SIB) to the macroscopic lesions 5 x 7 Gy
with concomitant Nivolumab. The last patient received concomitant Ipilimumab. PTV30 was defined as all GTV including the
primary and superficial lymphatics up to the proximal lesion leaving a corridor
with at least a band free from the circumference (first patient PTV had donut
shape thus corridor was inside PTV). RECIST was used to assess primary
outcomes. Adverse Events assessed using CTCAE V5.0
Results
Patients and responses shown Table 1. Mean follow-up was 31.9 (2.1-40) months. Mean
CTV/ PTV volume were 658cc (106-1389) and 1270 cc (241-1693).
PTV mean V30,
V28,5 and V27 were 54.7%, 89.5% and 98,3%. Mean corridor volume was 1566cc
(243-5008). Corridor mean dose V20, V15 and V10 were 15.6%, 18% and 40%. AEs
are shown in Table 2. Of note is acute edema
in the first patient and skin toxicity in the patient who received an
integrated boost with nivolumab both resolved.
Conclusion
This innovative technique
for ITM in the lower limb resulted in lesion-specific ablation of disease and
normal tissue-sparing, with minimal local or systemic adverse effects.
