The prognosis for patients diagnosed with recurrent glioblastoma (GBM) remains poor, with no clear standard of care regarding salvage therapy. Common approaches include chemotherapy, re-resection, tumor treating fields, and reirradiation. However, most studies have shown these to have limited benefits. Reirradiation is particularly difficult due to concern for increased risk of toxicity to surrounding normal brain tissue. A novel intracranial brachytherapy system called GammaTile® (GT Medical Technologies, Tempe, Arizona) involves the placement of Cesium-131 radioactive tiles in the tumor cavity following maximal safe resection. This allows for a highly conformal dose distribution with rapid fall-off to minimize overlap with prior radiation fields and for the application of radiation directly to the high-risk tumor bed. This case report highlights a patient with GBM who survived 11.5 years through multiple recurrences and discusses the many salvage treatments he received, including bevacizumab, irinotecan, and stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). This case exemplifies that aggressive systemic and local therapies can work well in select patients allowing for long-term survival with a good quality of life. Further efforts should be made to identify which patients may benefit from these therapies. The case study additionally reports on the use of GammaTile therapy. Due to prior external beam radiation therapy and SRS to the treatment site, further external beam radiation options were limited, and the patient was offered GammaTile as local therapy. Although it did not provide a survival benefit in this case due to progressive disease outside of the field of treatment, GammaTile serves as a valuable option in providing local therapy to patients who can no longer receive further radiation. It should be used with careful consideration in lesions characterized by aggressive local invasion.
对于诊断为复发性胶质母细胞瘤(GBM)的患者,预后仍然很差,关于挽救治疗尚无明确的护理标准。常见的方法包括化疗、再次手术切除、肿瘤电场治疗和再次放疗。然而,大多数研究表明这些方法的益处有限。由于担心对周围正常脑组织的毒性风险增加,再次放疗尤其困难。一种名为GammaTile®(GT Medical Technologies,亚利桑那州坦佩)的新型颅内近距离放射治疗系统,包括在最大安全切除后将铯-131放射性贴片放置在肿瘤腔内。这允许高度适形的剂量分布,剂量快速下降,以尽量减少与先前放疗野的重叠,并将辐射直接应用于高风险的肿瘤床。本病例报告重点介绍了一名GBM患者,他通过多次复发存活了11.5年,并讨论了他接受的多种挽救治疗,包括贝伐单抗、伊立替康和立体定向放射外科手术(SRS)。该病例表明,积极的全身和局部治疗在特定患者中可以取得良好效果,使患者能够长期生存并保持良好的生活质量。应进一步努力确定哪些患者可能从这些治疗中获益。该病例研究还报告了GammaTile治疗的使用情况。由于先前在治疗部位进行了外照射放疗和SRS,进一步的外照射放疗选择有限,因此为该患者提供了GammaTile作为局部治疗。尽管由于治疗区域外的疾病进展,在本病例中它没有提供生存益处,但GammaTile是为无法再接受进一步放疗的患者提供局部治疗的一个有价值的选择。对于具有侵袭性局部浸润特征的病变,应谨慎考虑使用。
