OS after 2/5 years was 94.6%/80.6% for radiotherapy naïve patients and 88.9%/44.4% for patients with previous pelvic irradiation.
Overall, nine patients experienced grade 3 toxicities (fistula n=2, urinary incontinence n=1, vaginal stricture n=7, vaginal necrosis n=1; multiple events per patient possible). There were no G4 and G5 toxicities. The two patients with vesico-vaginal and/or vesico-enteral fistula had received reirradiation for vaginal recurrence after EBRT+BT as treatment at initial diagnosis. In addition, there were two further patients with vaginal necrosis (G2) persisting for less than six months under conservative management.
Conclusion:
Radiotherapy is an effective salvage treatment for vaginal recurrences of endometrial cancer. Small, superficial tumors can be treated with IGABT alone, while more advanced tumors can be successfully salvaged with a combination of EBRT + IGABT with acceptable toxicity rates.
