Purpose: Retroperitoneal sarcomas (RPS) have varied treatment practices with regard to the use of radiation therapy (RT). Preoperative RT ∼50 Gy is commonly used, but the Surgery With or Without Radiation Therapy in Untreated Nonmetastatic Retroperitoneal Sarcoma (STRASS-1) randomized trial demonstrated no improvement in abdominal recurrence-free survival with preoperative RT. Dose escalation has been proposed to improve the efficacy of preoperative RT. We analyzed RPS treated with preoperative intensity modulated proton therapy (IMPT) to an escalated dose of 63 Gy at a single institution. Methods and Materials: Patients who received preoperative RT with IMPT with RPS between January 2015 and October 2021 were reviewed. IMPT 63 Gy in 28 fractions to the clinical target volume high-risk and 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions to clinical target volume low-risk was used. Patient baseline characteristics, RT dose parameters, toxicities, margin status, and recurrence patterns were recorded. Local control was computed by Fine-Gray analysis and overall survival by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Results: Sixteen patients met the study criteria (n = 16): 12 primary and 4 isolated local recurrences. Median age was 62 years (IQR, 43.5-66 years) and 62.5% were male; 10 were liposarcoma. The median maximum tumor diameter was 19.9 cm (IQR, 12-24 cm). With a median follow-up of 18 months (IQR, 11.5-37 months), the estimated 3-year freedom from local failure rate was 68.2% (95% CI, 41.7%-94.7%); 3-year overall survival (OS) rate was 68.8% (95% CI, 41.9%-95.8%). No Radiation Therapy Oncology Group grade ≥3 acute or late toxicities were noted. Conclusions: In our RPS cohort, preoperative dose-escalated RT to 63 Gy demonstrated comparable local control without G3 acute toxicities. Given the high local recurrence rates of RPS, this approach warrants further study to validate these results and identify patients most likely to benefit from therapy. |
