Amputation

Q

Limb salvage radiation preop

A

clear tumor definition, potential for reduction in seeding, sterilizes tumor, clearer margins
Higher wound complications, challenges with healing post op
50Gy in 2Gy per fraction, 3 weeks recover prior to resection, Can be modified with chemoradiation protocol (1.8Gy)

Q

Limb salvage XRT post op

A

evaluation of entire surgical margins
higher late related wound complications=fibrosis, joint stiffness, edema
50Gy plus/minus 16Gy boost for positive margins to post op bed.

Q

General XRT sarcoma guidelines

A

positioning: minimize soft tissue distortion, frog leg for upper thighs, bolus on incisions (in sim is helpful for planning)
Margins: 5-10 cm longitudinally, 2-3 cm radially
IMRT: need MRI, 3 cm longitudinally 1.5 cm radially

Q

Sarcoma IMRT considerations

A

Bone sparing, reduce dose to soft tissue, special care of dose to skin flaps,
Concerns: skin dose harder to get, hotspots more inhomogeneous, more low dose radiation– concerns for edema and secondary malignancy

Q

Bone sarcomas

A

Uncommon, chemo is critical, surgery is preferred tx, radiation helpful in improving local control of unfavorable sites–pelvis, sacrum, spine, and craniofacial
