1 Proton Therapy for Liver Cancer: Who, Why, and How Michael Chuong, MD Disclosures None 1

2 Rationale for proton therapy Hepatic toxicity Biliary toxicity GI toxicity Potentially significant benefit especially for HCC patients } Less rationale Hepatic toxicity Radiation induced liver disease (RILD, classic) Anicteric hepatomegaly Ascites Elevated liver enzymes (ALP > AST/ALT) Non-classic RILD Elevation of transaminases Reactivation of Hepatitis B Liver function decline (CP) Risk of liver toxicity Diagnosis (HCC vs. non-hcc) Baseline liver function (CP A vs. B vs. C) RT dose Dose to non-target liver CP score decline at 3 months after SBRT Liver mets: <5% Early stage HCC: ~10% Advanced stage HCC (PVTT): ~30% CP B HCC: ~30-50% High dose to partial liver volumes is safe MEAN and LOW dose are most important Dawson et al. IJROBP

AAPM Working Group on Biological Effects: SBRT Normal Tissue Complication Probability 6 fraction SBRT toxicity for metastases 81 patients with 1-6 liver mets Transient G1-2 hepatic toxicity within 3 months 61% transaminitis 28% albumin decline No grade 3-5 hepatic toxicity Higher risk if increased dose to 700 cc of non-targeted liver All patients No worsening Liver enz.

9 Group 1 = medically necessary When to use protons??? All HCC patients? RILD serious complication Protons provide optimal liver sparing Potential future liver-directed therapies Non-HCC patients? THERE ARE NO RANDOMIZED DATA 9

14 Ablative proton therapy for liver mets? Jeong et al. Clin Can Res, pts Median 2.5 cm ( ) 23 pts had >6 cm tumor Median dose 40 GyE in 5 fractions (83% of >6 cm tumors received at least 40 GyE) No grade 3+ toxicity The motion problem Fundamentally the same between PBS and US/DS US / DS has more washout of the motion effect PBS is more susceptible to the motion effect, but this can be overcome Motion management Repainting Larger spot size From Tony Lomax 14

15 Repainting and gating Conclusions Why HCC: normal liver sparing Non-HCC: dose escalation/ablation Who HCC: larger tumor, more limited normal liver volume, worse baseline liver function Non-HCC: larger tumor with limited or no extrahepatic disease How Hypofractionation (smaller fraction size in close proximity to GI luminal structures) Mitigation of motion interplay effects 15
