Following the results of the recent CRITICS-I trial, as in other larger studies, only about 50% of patients completed adjuvant treatment as planned. Because preoperative (preop) therapies are better tolerated and associated with tumor downsizing, there is a rationale to shift from postop to preop strategies. The CRITICS-II trial aims to identify the optimal preop regimen: chemotherapy (CT), CRT or a combination. In the preop setting the stomach and regional lymph nodes are in situ without surgery-induced anatomical deformations. Due to the superior soft-tissue contrast of MRI, its integration in preop radiotherapy planning, allows a more accurate definition of the clinical target volume (CTV) and its margins. To evaluate MRI-based target delineation in gastric cancer, we undertook this feasibility study. Here, the first results of preop versus postop MRI-based CTV delineation in gastric cancer are reported. Material and Methods Patients with resectable gastric cancer underwent 2 MRI exams on a 3T Ingenia MRI (Philips Healthcare, Best, The Netherlands). The first MRI was scheduled before gastrectomy and start of neo-adjuvant therapy. The second MRI was scheduled 4-10 weeks after gastrectomy but before postop therapy. The MRI protocol consisted of axial and coronal T2-weighted (T2w) turbo spin echo (TSE) with navigator triggering, mDixon with breath hold, DWI and dynamic T1w 3D thrive during intravenous injection of 15ml gadolinium (Dotarem 0.5mmol/ml, Guerbet, France). Two radiation oncologists and a radiologist reviewed the image quality of the scans. Delineation of the CTV was done by a radiation oncologist (RO) and reviewed by a second RO. For comparison the volumes of the CTVs were determined in Mirada (Mirada Medical Ltd, Oxford, UK). Results Preop data from 7 evaluable patients were available for qualitative image analysis. The 3 reviewers concluded by visual inspection that axial T2wTSE with navigator triggering was most suitable for target delineation, due to the excellent contrast and limited motion artifacts. From 3 of the 7 patients the axial T2w TSE of both pre- and postop MRIs were available to delineate the CTV (Figure 1). CTVs in the preoperative setting were significantly larger than those in the postoperative (Table 1).
Conclusion For medium-sized HCC, there were no statistical differences in local control and OS between the SBRT and TACE groups. ECOG performance status was the only predictor for OS.

Jeong 1 1 Korea Institute of Radiological & Medical Sciences, Department of Radiation Oncology, Seoul, Korea Republic of Purpose or Objective To investigate the clinical application of a stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) boost in locally advanced pancreatic cancer patients with a focus on local efficacy and toxicity. Material and Methods We retrospectively reviewed 47 patients with locally advanced and nonmetastatic pancreatic cancer who had been treated between 2004 and 2016. Follow-up duration ranged from 4 to 47 months (median, 14 months). A total dose of 40 Gy was delivered in 20 fractions using a conventional three-field technique, and then a single fraction of 10, 14, 15, 16, or 17 Gy SBRT was administered as a boost without a break. forty-one patients received chemotherapy. Overall and local progression-free survival were calculated and prognostic factors were evaluated. Results One-year overall survival and local progression-free survival rates were 57.0% and 73.0%, respectively. Three patients (6%) developed Grade 3 or higher toxicity. Tumor location and carbohydrate antigen 19-9 response was found to be an independent prognostic factor for survival. Conclusion Our findings indicate that a SBRT boost provides a safe means of increasing radiation dose. Based on the results
