    Significance of liver metastasis volume in breast cancer patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy
    (2021) Oymak, Ezgi; Guler, Ozan Cem; Onal, Cem; 0000-0002-2742-9021; 34477885; AGG-9214-2022; D-5195-2014
    Purpose This study analyzed the impact of liver metastasis (LM) volume on treatment outcomes in breast cancer (BC) patients treated with stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). Methods This single-institution retrospective analysis included 40 oligometastatic (<= 5 metastases) BC patients with 58 liver metastases treated with SBRT between April 2013 and March 2021. The prognostic factors for local control (LC), overall survival (OS), and progression-free survival (PFS) rates were assessed. Results Median follow-up time was 28.1 months. Isolated and solitary LM were seen in 26 (65%) and 24 (60%) patients, respectively. Median time to disease recurrence was 10.7 months post liver SBRT. The 2-year OS, PFS, and LC rates were 71.4%, 27.5%, and 86.8%, respectively. In univariate analysis, patients with a gross tumor volume (GTV) of <= 6 cc and a planning target volume (PTV) of <= 38 cc demonstrated a significantly better median OS than those with GTV > 6 cc and PTV > 38 cc. In multivariate analysis, the predictive factors for worse OS were GTV > 6 cc (HR = 3.07 [95% CI, 1.14-8.22; p = 0.03]) and PTV > 38 cc (HR = 5.91 [95% CI, 1.92-18.21; p = 0.002]). No significant factor for PFS was found. Only 2 patients experienced rib fracture at 4 and 6 months post treatment, and 1 patient had a grade II duodenal ulcer. Conclusion Liver SBRT is an effective and safe treatment option for oligometastatic BC patients with excellent LC, promising survival, and limited toxicity. Patients with smaller tumors displayed better OS than their counterparts, validating the effectiveness of a local treatment for this group.

    Radiotherapy After Skin-Sparing Mastectomy and Implant-Based Breast Reconstruction
    (2019) Sari, Sezin Yuce; Guler, Ozan Cem; Gultekin, Melis; Yildirim, Berna Akkus; Onal, Cem; Ozyigit, Gokhan; Yildiz, Ferah; 0000-0001-6908-3412; 31255547; AAC-5654-2020
    We aimed to evaluate the cosmetic results of radiotherapy in 170 breast cancer patients after implant-based reconstruction. Cosmetic results were excellent or fair in most patients after radiotherapy. However, bolus use, lymphatic irradiation, and the volume receiving at least 110% of the prescribed dose being >1% significantly deteriorated the outcomes. Introduction: We evaluated the cosmetic results of radiotherapy (RT) after implant-based reconstruction (IBR). Patients and Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 170 patients with 171 breast cancers treated between December 2004 and January 2016 in 2 university hospitals. RT fields were reconstructed breast (RB) only in 24 (14%), and RB and regional lymphatics in 147 (86%) breasts, respectively. All but 1 patient received a total 50 Gy with conventional fractionation. All patients received systemic chemotherapy. One hundred thirty-eight (81%) patients received hormonal therapy; 118 tamoxifen and 20 aromatase inhibitor. Results: Median follow-up time was 46.8 months (range, 1-163 months). The 5-year disease-free and overall survival rate was 83% and 93%, respectively. Cosmetic results were considered excellent in 111 (65%), fair in 46 (27%), and bad in 14 (8%) RB by patients. Thirty-four (20%) RB had restorative surgery; because of surgeons' preference because of implant natural life time span in 5, and contracture, fibrosis, deformation, or dislocation of the implant, or cellulitis in the remaining. Statistically significant adverse factors in univariate analysis for impaired cosmetic outcome were bolus use on the RB, lymphatic irradiation, and volume that received at least 110% of the prescribed dose being >1%. The use of bolus material was the only prognostic factor for deterioration of the cosmetic result in multivariate analysis. Conclusion: RT after IBR yields acceptable cosmetic results. Although only 111 (65%) of RBs were considered to have excellent cosmetic results, only a small percentage of patients needed reoperation because of bad cosmetic outcome. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc.
