5 patrones de fallo tras SBRT pancreatica. In field 2,5%, para aórticos 23,5% ,portohepatico 23,5%, AMS 17,6% y art. Celíaca 5,9%. 2.0 months. #pancreas#sbrt
First patterns of failure outcomes after definitive 5-fraction ablative radiation therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer
I think both dose escalation & comprehensive elective coverage are key to achieving durable locoregional control

Do you know how to find the anterior peritoneal reflection on MRI pelvis?
Defines intra and extra peritoneal rectum and lymphatic drainage pattern!
Look at the seagull sign on axials and others great pearls by Dr. David Kim

Happy to share this interactive contouring tutorial for dose-escalated RT in locally advanced pancreas ca, which follows our NRG consensus contouring atlas.
Thank you @johnroubil, @dsouzl, @aiims2738, & the @eContourRadOnc team for working on this case!

¿Cómo estamos abordando el cáncer de recto en España? 🧐
Presentamos los resultados Grupo Español de Radioterapia en Digestivo 👇

No es una comparación "limpia" de RT vs No RT:
1️⃣ Más quimio: El brazo sin RT recibió 8 ciclos de CAPOX vs 6 en el brazo de RT.
2️⃣ Selección: Son pacientes de riesgo favorable. Los casos de alto riesgo (EMVI+, T4b, MRF+) están infrarepresentados.
3️⃣ No es equivalencia
¿Podemos omitir la Radioterapia en cáncer de recto localmente avanzado? 🧠
Analizamos el ensayo CONVERT (JCO 2026): lectura crítica con las cifras que necesitas saber sobre los pacientes MRF-negativos. 👇
Menos radioterapia significa menos efectos secundarios a largo plazo:
📉 Toxicidad tardía G2–4: 16.0% (nCT) vs 26.3% (nCRT) | p=0.002
📉 Proctitis: 33.6% vs 41.7% | p=0.049
La calidad de vida a largo plazo inclina la balanza hacia la omisión selectiva.
✅ Control Locorregional (LRRFS): 97.4% (nCRT) vs 96.3% (nCT).
⚠️ Ojo: No se confirmó estadísticamente la no inferioridad para omitir la RT.
✅ Supervivencia: DFS (~89%) y OS (~95%) fueron casi idénticas en ambos brazos.
📌 EBRT vs. Ablación en HCC (#ASCOGI26)
Meta-análisis (12 estudios, 2.768 pts) revela que la Radioterapia Externa supera a la ablación en:
✅ LC: HR 0.41 (p<0.0001)
✅ Recurrencia: OR 0.36 (p<0.0001)
OS y seguridad comparables.

🚨 NEW ASTRO GUIDELINE DROP!
☢️Radiation Therapy in Gastric Cancer - What Actually Changes?
1. Resectable Disease: Where RT Fits
🔹 Perioperative chemotherapy (FLOT) = Standard
•FLOT4 ➝ FLOT > ECF/ECX
•MATTERHORN ➝ FLOT + durvalumab ↑ pCR & ↑ EFS
•KEYNOTE-585 ➝ ↑ pCR but no OS benefit with pembrolizumab
•Asian data: CLASSIC, ACTS-GC, ARTIST 2 for postop chemo
🔹 Preoperative chemoRT
Use only if:
❌ Not fit for peri-op chemo
❗ Borderline resectable (high R1/R2 risk)
🔼 Restrict to GEJ / upper & mid-stomach
Key evidence:
•TOPGEAR ➝ ↑ downstaging, ↑ pCR (17% vs 8%)
•POET, KROSG 0301, UYG-GO (supportive phase II data)
Regimen: 45 Gy/25F + 5-FU/capecitabine
🔹 Postoperative chemoRT
Use when:
•<D2 dissection → INT-0116 (Intergroup 0116)
•R1/R2
•Not fit for adjuvant multi-agent chemo
Other data:
•CALGB 80101
•ARTIST (no benefit overall; node-positive subgroup signal)
🛑 2. When Surgery Isn’t Possible
🔥 Definitive chemoRT
•For unresectable / medically inoperable / surgery-refusing
•45–50.4 Gy + 5-FU/capecitabine
•Based on prospective studies (Kim et al., Zang et al.) → ORR ~80%
❤️🩹 3. Palliation: RT Works Amazingly Well
🔴 Bleeding → Strong evidence
Key trials/series:
•Yoon et al., Tey et al., Kondoh et al.
•Meta-analysis by Tey et al. → bleeding response 76%
🔶 Pain & obstruction
•Response 50–100%
•Data from Lee et al., Asakura et al., Kawabata et al.
Schedules:
•8 Gy ×1
•20 Gy ×5
•30 Gy ×10
Re-irradiation supported by:
•Park et al., Lee et al. (small but effective series)
🎯 4. Oligometastatic Disease (Emerging Area)
Supporting data:
•FLOT3 (systemic therapy + MDT approach)
•Franzese et al. (SBRT series)
•Kong et al., Rauschenberg et al. (surgery/SBRT outcomes)
PET-CT + staging laparoscopy recommended before labeling as “oligometastatic.”
🧠 Takeaway
RT in gastric cancer is selective, evidence-backed, and outcome-impacting.
Right patient → big benefit.
Right setting → precise role.
Right MDT → best survival.

🔬 SABR for liver metastases
🎯 High local control, especially with small/few lesions (<6 cm, <3)
📈 Best outcomes in CRC/breast/renal
💥 BED ≥ 120 Gy = optimal control
🤏 Well-tolerated, useful for frail/unresectable pts
❓ Role vs other options unclear, RCTs needed
