Table 1. The median follow-up time was 26.87 months. Regional lymph node recurrence alone was only noted in one patient who didn’t undergo RT. Distant metastases (DM) were noted in 17 patients (with RT: 8; without RT: 9). Out of those nine patients who developed DM and didn’t undergo RT, five had been given chemotherapy. Age is significantly related to worse OS (Pearson correlation coefficient=-0.248, p=.037) but not to DFS (-0.191, p=0.111). Positive LNs number is significantly related to both worse OS (-0.244, p=0.041) and DFS (-0.261, p=0.028). Adjuvant RT didn’t significantly improve OS (median: 34.3 vs. 19.7 months, p=0.123) and DFS (median: 30 vs. 17.7 months, p=0.86) (Fig. 1). The patients received adjuvant chemotherapy were with significantly longer OS (median: 31.9 vs. 14.7 months, p=0.007) but not DFS (median: 28.6 vs. 14 months, p=0.42). Conclusion Although the patients who underwent adjuvant CRT were significantly younger, they were also with more advanced diseases. Most of the recurrent events were distant metastases in our study, indicating that D2 dissection might have largely decreased the locoregional failure rate. Adjuvant RT didn’t show significant benefit prolonging OS or DFS. On the other hand, the patients received adjuvant chemotherapy were observed to have significantly longer OS but not DFS. It is possible that the prolonged OS is correlated to the age of patients, rather than a result of chemotherapy. Further randomized controlled trials are required to draw a concrete conclusion.

Material and Methods From Jan 2015 - April 2016, consecutive patients with unresectable hepatic lesions (hepatocellular cancer (HCC), Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) or liver metastasis (LM)) who received either high dose radiation (HDRT) or stereotactic radiation (SBRT) and without disease progression were included. All patients were required to have Child Pugh status A-B6 prior to radiation. Total liver volume, gross tumour volume (GTV), normal liver volume (total liver volume- GTV) was determined. Follow up scans were used to determine changes, if any, in normal liver volume. As the dose prescription of each patient was individualised, biologically equivalent dose (BED) were calculated. Univariate analysis was perform out to determine impact of total dose, GTV at treatment, use of systemic chemotherapy, primary tumour type, baseline liver function status, age and viral marker status on normal liver volume and liver function during follow up. Reduction in liver volume at follow-ups were analysed with paired t-test. p value of <0.05 was considered significant. Results Thirteen patients received either SBRT or HDRT. Out of these 6/7 patients with HCC received TACE prior to RT initiation and all received sorafenib while 3/4 with CCA received gemcitabine and cisplatin concurrently with radiation. Another 2 were treated for LM. The Median BED

was 59.5 Gy (48 - 85.5 Gy). The follow up scans were performed at 1 month and 4 monthly thereafter. The median normal liver volume at baseline, 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd follow up was 1105 (423-2100) cc, 918 (614 - 1899) cc, 778 (490 - 1746) cc and 816 (576 - 2101) cc for the entire cohort and 1098 (423 – 2100) cc, 886 (614 – 1899) cc, 778 (490 - 1746) cc and 750 (576 – 1136) cc for patients with primary hepatic malignancy (PHM). The reduction in liver volume was statistically significant at 4 months (p=0.05) in entire cohort. In PHM cohort, at 4 and 8 months reduction in liver volume were found significant (p=0.05 and p=0.05, respectively). Deterioration of Childs score was presented in 2/13 patients. This loss in liver function could represent ongoing radiation effects on compensatory liver hypertrophy or hepatocyte regeneration. However no correlation was seen between child score deterioration and loss of liver volume. On univariate analysis, the higher normal liver volume at baseline irradiated shows statistically significantly higher loss of liver volume (p=0.005). None of other tumour or treatment related factors had impact on liver volume changes. Conclusion The reduction in liver volume at follow up does not correlate with any tumour or treatment parameters other than normal liver volume at baseline. This ongoing loss of hepatic function and reduced hepatocyte regeneration after hepatic radiation needs further investigation.

Raffaele Scientific Institute, Department of Oncology, Milan, Italy 11 University of Bologna, Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences - DIMEC, Bologna, Italy Purpose or Objective Prognosis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC) is so dismal that annual mortality and incidence rates overlap. Several studies suggested that preoperative CA19.9 (prCA19.9) could be a useful prognostic marker in patients treated with surgery +/- adjuvant therapies. The purpose of this study was to determine whether post-surgical CA19.9 (poCA19.9) or post-adjuvant CA19.9 (paCA19.9) or a change in prCA19.9 to poCA19.9 could predict pattern of
