1 Therapeutic dilemma / radiotherapy Agressive tumour, poor outcome Past treatments based on MB concepts (RT CSA) MB Overall survival Mean age : 6.52 years n=36, 5 year 75% 1. Tumour occurs in the very young (< 3 years) 2. Requires intensive treatment (high doses of RT / CSA?) 3. Chemotherapy necessary (additional toxicity of RT) AT-RT Mean age : 1.32 years n=19, 5 year 26.3% Koral et al., 2008

3 Open questions 1. Should radiotherapy (XRT) be part of standard therapy in CNS-AT/RT? 2. Where should XRT be placed primary vs salvage therapy? 3. XRT and local tumour control target volume (focal RT vs CSA-RT)? dose prescription (dose-response relationship)?

4 Pattern of relapse / rationale for RT CSA All cases Primary site Primary site and leptomeningeal leptomeningeal Total relapses (46%) 9 (17%) 16 (31%) 49 (94%) Pattern of initial spread / rationale for RT CSA Burger et al., 1998 Parmar et al Rorke et al % : leptomeningeal metastases 33% : leptomeningeal metastases Dannenmann-Stern younger age/ infratent site. : 28.6% M2/3 et al (HIT) older age / supratent. site : 5.6% M2/3

16 Conclusions 1. Primary XRT improved local tumour control better median OS and PFS than primary chx. alone XRT should be part of treatment concept 2. PFS and OS between primary / salvage XRT no significant difference 3. PFS and OS between local / craniospinal XRT no significant difference However : bias in tumour site, age and risk profile Radiotherapy should be part of treatment / open questions optimal sequence optimal treatment volume dose prescription (local / CSA)

17 RT guidelines EUROPEAN RHABDOID REGISTRY / CNS tumours Localized disease supratentorial or infratentorial (M0 according to Chang), age 18 months RT to the extended tumor region according to CT planning. Total dose and fractionation 5 x 1.8 Gy per week, 54.0 Gy PTV acc. to ICRU 50/62. The target volume should include the postoperative or postchemotherapeutic tumor region including potential residual tumor as indicated by CT or T1-T2 MRI following contrast application. A safety margin of 1 cm (= CTV) should be used. Anatomical borders with initial tumor contact need to be included in the planning target volume. The definition of the PTV needs to regard the precision of the technique used. Usually an additional safety margin of 5 mm to 1 cm has to be included.

18 RT guidelines EUROPEAN RHABDOID REGISTRY / CNS tumours Patients with metastatic disease (M1 to M3), age > 18 month to 3 years RT CSA 5 x 1.6 Gy total dose 24.0 Gy. The primary tumour site (not PF in PF tumour sites) total dose of 54.6 Gy, 5 x 1.8 Gy. Boost to spinal deposits Circumscribed solid spinal lesions should be boosted up to 49.2 Gy cumulative dose (for spinal lesions extension according to prior to chemotherapy), 5 x 1.8 Gy. Safety margins in longitudinal extension 1 cm. In diffuse spinal spread up to 35.2 Gy. Boost to intracranial deposits. boosted up to 49.2 Gy cumulative dose, 5 x 1.8 Gy. For children older than 3 years (M1 to M3) RT CSA 5 x 1.6 Gy total dose 35.2 Gy. Boost tumor region 55.0 Gy, 5 x 1.8Gy. Boost to metast deposits : 49.2Gy If tumor persists in a control MRI following 45.0 Gy a boost of the residual disease up to 59.4 Gy can be applied.

19 RT guidelines EUROPEAN RHABDOID REGISTRY / CNS tumours Timing of radiotherapy: Children below the age of 18 months should only be irradiated under exceptional circumstances. We propose a timepoint for RT following immediately after the 4th element of chemotherapy in children 18 months and older. In case of primary metastasized disease RT may be delayed until the end of intensive chemotherapy (following element 9). Other special circumstances may apply such as progressive disease, when RT may be performed at any time (after discussion with the trial coordinator). For infants and children below 18 months radiotherapy may be delayed until age permits or following element 9..
