Acta Neuropath

2 Classification Post surgical outcomes Tumors of the pituitary Pituitary adenoma Microadenoma (<1cm) Macroadenoma ( 1cm) Overall local control is 50-80% following resection Recurrence Risk for non-functional tumors: Post-op MRI 5 yr 10 yr GTR 10-20% 30% STR 25-40% >50% Functional Non-functional Pituitary carcinoma Metastases (breast and lung) Cortet-Rudelli et al. Annales d Endocrinologie Radiotherapy indications Radiotherapy approach Surgical local control 50-80% Medically inoperable (panhypopituitarism) Subtotal resection (persistent hypersecretion) Large tumor with extrasellar extension Recurrence Pituitary carcinoma (high mitotic index, invasive features) Pre-treatment workup Complete endocrine evaluation Visual field testing Cessation of suppressive medications Non-randomized data 7 8

3 Radiotherapy approach Fractionated external beam radiotherapy Effect of endocrine suppression Conventionally/classically fractionated (LINAC-based) Nonfunctioning: Gy Functioning: Gy HS No-HS Sheehan et al. JNS Fractionated external beam radiotherapy Fractionated external beam radiotherapy Conventionally/classically fractionated (LINAC-based) 45 Gy McCoullough WM IJROBP 1991, 95% LC Zeirhut et al. IJROBP 1995 Preferred when large pituitary adenomas and/or when lesion is < 2mm from optic chiasm 11 12

4 Stereotactic radiosurgery Stereotactic radiosurgery Single session radiosurgery (Gamma knife, Cyberknife, LINAC) Nonfunctioning: Gy Functioning: Gy Single session radiosurgery (Gamma knife, Cyberknife, LINAC) Preferred to decrease dose to hypothalamus and cortical brain Fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy Outcomes Multisession radiosurgery (Gamma knife, Cyberknife, LINAC) Nonfunctioning: Gy in 5 fractions Functioning: Gy in 5 fractions Preferred when pituitary lesion is > 3cm and/or when lesion is < 2mm from optic chiasm Tumor type Tteatment protocol Disease free survival 10 yr Non-functioning Surgery obs vs RT 90% RT alone 80% GH-secreting Surgery obs vs RT 70-80% RT alone 60-70% Prolactin secreting Obs vs MM vs Sg vs RT 80-90% ACTH-secreting Surgery obs vs RT 50-60% (more rapid) RT alone 50-60% TSH-sectreing Surgery RT 40-50% 15 16

5 Outcomes Outcomes Functional control ACTH normalizes < 1yr Prolactin > 1yr Growth hormone > 1yr (50% at 2 yr, 70% at 10 yr) Overall survival No difference in OS among: Surgery Surgery + RT RT alone Choose therapy based on minimizing side effects Follow up Outcomes Delayed response and toxicity Pituitary function MRI 6 and 12 months, then annually Endocrine evaluation every 6-12 months Formal visual field testing annually Xu et al. Neurosurgery

6 Outcomes Visual function EBRT: Gy SRS: 8 Gy Total Dose (Gy) 70 Applicability of models to predict RION from conventional to SRS fractionations Models and literature indicate 60 Model: LQ extrapolation from 1.8 Gy/fx, 59.4 Gy with α/β=3.3 better tolerance at lower dose per fraction. Model: LQ extrapolation from 1.8 Gy/fx, 59.4 Gy with α/β=1.6 Model: Iso Neuret(NSD) = 60 Gy, 1.8 Gy/fx 50 Model: Iso Optic RET = 8.9 Gy Literature Findings: > 10% Incidence RION 40 Literature Findings: 1-9% Incidence RION Literature Findings: No Incidence RION 30 Majority of published data pre-date planning and 20 treatment delivery technology that allows for steep dose gradients in or near optic 10 structures. Effect on partial volume tolerance needs Lack of published data in further exploration. hypo-fractionation region Only a few detailed publications in SRS region Dose per Fraction (Gy) Mayo et al.
