“…Several earlier studies on thoracic and non-thoracic tumours with SBRT demonstrate high local control rates and a mild panorama of side-effects [22,23,27]. The majority of patients experienced no side-effects at all whereas a minority of cases showed clinical pneumonitis, rib fracture and thoracic pain.…”

“…No liver toxicity was observed, but 1 patient developed grade 4 hemorrhagic gastritis. In a 1998 update 13 , the local control rate was 95% with a mean survival of 17.8 months after sbrt for 21 patients with liver metastases. In another series 14 , 20 Gy in 2 fractions or 15 Gy in 3 fractions was used, with no serious toxicity in patients with recurrent liver metastases following resection.…”

Treatment of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer has changed in recent years, with many patients now being offered intent-to-treat regimens. In this context, a multidisciplinary approach to the metastatic disease may lead to individualized treatment for any patient. Stereotactic body radiotherapy (sbrt) is not the most common treatment. Here, we present the clinical case of a patient with a solitary liver metastasis initially treated with sbrt that was rescued with surgery when a local recurrence was detected.

“…Experience of this stereotactic irradiation is limited. Most experience has been reported from Radiumhemmet, Stockholm Sweden [43]. As mentioned above, long-term survival has been reported with primary hepatocellular, cholangiocellular and secondary colorectal cancer.…”

The potential of proton beam radiation therapy in gastrointestinal cancer

2005

A group of Swedish oncologists and hospital physicists have estimated the number of patients in Sweden suitable for proton beam therapy. The estimations have been based on current statistics of tumour incidence, number of patients potentially eligible for radiation treatment, scientific support from clinical trials and model dose planning studies and knowledge of the dose-response relations of different tumours and normal tissues. In gastrointestinal cancers, it is assessed that at least 345 patients, mainly non-resectable rectal cancers, oesophageal and liver cancers, are eligible. Great uncertainties do however exist both in the number of patients with gastrointestinal cancers suitable for radiation therapy, and in the proportion of those where proton beams may give sufficiently better results.
