Purpose or Objective

Re-irradiation (reRT) for local relapses of head and neck adenoid cystic carcinoma (HNACC) is a challenge. The objective of the present study was to analyze the outcomes and toxicity following this treatment

Material and Methods

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of 10 patients reirradiated with proton ther-apy (PT) or IMRT at Institut Curie regarding pattern of failure. control and survival rates and toxicity.

Results

Results: Patient received a median dose of 72Gy at reRT after a median RT-interval of 53.5 months. Median follow up was 26 months. the 1-. 2- and 3-year LFFS were 66.7%. 55.6%. and 41%. respectively. Six patients had locoregional failures (LRF) which occurred in-field for four patients (66.6%). Over the follow-up period. eight patients died. The 1-. 2- and 3-year OS were 77.8%. 66.7%. and 44.4%. respectively. LFFS and OS were significantly better in the subgroup of sinusal tumors (p = 0.013) and the subgroup of patients reirradiated more than two years after the first course (p = 0.01). Toxicity was acceptable with almost only grade 1-2 acute adverse events and rare late toxicities with 2 grade 3-4 adverse events (radionecrosis). 

Conclusion

Conclusion: Despite high cumulative doses. re-irradiation at curative intend with PT or IMRT seems safe and efficient for local control for patients with recurrent HNACC.
