Reirradiation (reRT) for locoregional recurrences poses unique challenges and risks; re-treatment using proton beam radiotherapy (PBT) could prove advantageous. Assessing clinical outcomes and toxicity profiles, this systematic review comprehensively evaluated available evidence regarding PBT reRT. Fourteen original investigations across central nervous system (CNS) (n=6), head/neck (H&N) (n=4), lung (n=2), and gastrointestinal (n=2) malignancies were analyzed. PBT for recurrent uveal melanoma achieved 5-year eye retention of 55%; for chordomas, reRT afforded a 2-year local control and overall survival (OS) of 85% and 80%, respectively. Multiple PBT reRT studies for adult gliomas illustrate no grade ≥3 toxicities. Two pediatric CNS tumor studies demonstrated the safety and efficacy of reRT, with one total grade 3 toxicity and achievement of longer-term OS. PBT for H&N malignancies shows appropriate local/locoregional control and favorable toxicity profiles versus historical photon-based methods, including low (9-10%) rates of feeding tube placement. PBT for recurrent lung cancer can achieve favorable survival with expected toxicities/complications of reRT, especially with concurrent chemotherapy and centrally located recurrences. Lastly, PBT reRT in gastrointestinal malignancies induced very few high-grade complications. Hence, based on the limited existing data, PBT is a notably safe reRT modality for effective salvage of recurrent disease. Institutional experiences must continue to be reported: dosimetric correlations, late toxicities, and advanced PBT techniques.
局部区域复发的再放疗(reRT)带来了独特的挑战和风险;质子束放射治疗(PBT)的再治疗可能具有优势。本系统评价全面评估了 PBT 再 RT 的现有证据,评估了临床结果和毒性特征。分析了 14 项中枢神经系统(CNS)(n=6)、头颈部(H&N)(n=4)、肺部(n=2)和胃肠道(n=2)恶性肿瘤的原始研究。对于复发性脉络膜黑色素瘤,PBT 实现了 5 年眼部保留率为 55%;对于脊索瘤,再放疗可分别实现 2 年局部控制和总生存率(OS)为 85%和 80%。多项成人胶质瘤 PBT 再 RT 研究未出现≥3 级毒性。两项儿科 CNS 肿瘤研究表明了再 RT 的安全性和有效性,其中一项总 3 级毒性和实现了更长期的 OS。与基于光子的历史方法相比,PBT 治疗头颈部恶性肿瘤显示出适当的局部/局部区域控制和有利的毒性特征,包括放置饲管的低(9-10%)率。对于复发性肺癌,PBT 可实现良好的生存,同时预期再放疗的毒性/并发症,尤其是与同期化疗和中央位置复发。最后,PBT 再 RT 在胃肠道恶性肿瘤中引起的高级别并发症很少。因此,基于有限的现有数据,PBT 是一种用于有效挽救复发性疾病的明显安全的再 RT 方式。机构经验必须继续报告:剂量学相关性、迟发性毒性和先进的 PBT 技术。
