Outline • Context – – Anatomy and Physiology Tumours of the liver Management of liver tumours Challenges of RT to liver • Vancouver Centre’s Liver Gating technique • Implementation Considerations
Liver Anatomy and Physiology Review • Predominantly upper, right quadrant • Close proximity to stomach, gall bladder, small and large bowel.
Liver Anatomy and Physiology Review • Divided into 4 lobes, and 8 segments • Held in place by various ligaments • Dual blood supply (hepatic portal vein and hepatic arteries)
Liver Anatomy and Physiology Review • Production – of bile and blood plasma components • Metabolism – of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins • Detoxification – removes toxins from blood • Storage – of vitamins, minerals and nutrients • Immune system – sinusoids lined with Kupffer cells (macrophages)
Primary Liver Cancer • Primary liver cancer is the 6 th most common cancer worldwide • The 2 nd largest contributor to cancer deaths • HCC (hepatocellular carcinoma) is most common type (80%) • Highest rates in Asia and Africa • 5 year survival rate of 14%
Hepatocellular Carcinoma Well defined risk factors • Cirrohsis of the liver – Strongest predisposing factor – 80% of HCC pt’s have cirrohsis • Cirrohsis caused by: – Hepatitis B and C virus – Excess alcohol consumption – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Hepatocellular Carcinoma Prevention? ? • Vegetable consumption • Coffee and tea consumption • Fish and white meat consumption All associated with significant decreased risk
Liver Metastases from a variety of cancers • • Colorectal Lung Breast Bladder Esophagus Head and Neck Pancreas Mets from Colorectal ca most significant when considering stereotactic treatment
Colorectal Metastases • The liver is often the first site of mets for colorectal ca – Due to location and venous blood flow to portal vein • Frequently oligometastases – 40% of colorectal patients with mets, have mets confined to the liver
HCC - Management “Gold Standard” – Resection or liver transplantation – Resection if: • • • Normal hepatic function No portal hypertension Sufficient liver remnant Solitary tumour No vascular invasion Plus the “usual suspects” = 70 -80% of patients are not surgical candidates
HCC - Management Alternatives to surgery • Embolization – Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) – Radioembolization • Thermal ablation – Radiofrequency ablation – Cryoablation • Chemical ablation – Percutaneous ethanol injection
HCC - Management And more recently… • Stereotactic radiation therapy! Traditionally, XRT used rarely for short term palliation Advances in immobilization, tumour delineation and target localization Re-examining it’s use
Radiation Tx to the Liver What’s the rub? Toxicity Organ motion
Toxicity • Radiation–induced liver disease (RILD) – Veno-occlusive disease – Ascites, increased weight and girth, hepatomegaly, increased liver enzymes – 4 -8 weeks following radiation • Limited by doses under: – 30 Gy (whole liver) – 35 Gy (two-thirds of liver) – 50 Gy (one-third of liver) • Based on 2 Gy fractions
Toxicity • Must also consider adjacent organs – – Stomach Bowel Biliary system Vasculature Obstruction, fistula, ulceration
Organ Motion • Liver adjacent to diaphragm • Potentially several cm’s of movement with respiration • Requires large internal target volume (ITV) to treat throughout breathing cycle
Radiation Tx to the Liver What’s the rub? Toxicity Precision → “Stereotactic” Organ motion Accuracy → Gating
Respiratory Gating • Respiratory Gating = establishing a “gating window”, which is a phase of the breathing cycle, and delivering treatment only when the patient’s respiratory motion is within this window. • For liver, we use the expiration ± 2. 5 mm.
Stereotactic Radiation Treatment to Liver Various published trials: – 2 year local control 40 -100% – Toxicity ≥Grade 3 for up to 40% (in a few studies) – Various forms of motion management used…or not Bottom line: Can be effective…but be careful!

Patient Eligibility • HCC or Colorectal mets – Not suitable for surgery – Not suitable for embolization (TACE) or ablation (RFA) • Or incomplete response to these This is also part of the “why”….
Patient Eligibility • Gold seed fiducial placement – – 3 – 5 fiducials Percutaneously or using endoscopy Healthy tissue within 1 cm of tumour Or within tumour if simultaneous with biopsy • May use existing surgical clips or stents • Need at least 3 for our matching software
Patient Eligibility Mould room
Patient Eligibility Is patient suitable for gated treatment?
Fluoroscopy Assessment
Fluoroscopy Assessment 60 minutes; RO and Physicist present Assessing: Is it worthwhile? 2 cm or more of movement Will it be accurate? Correlation of internal and external movement, little movement within gate Is it feasible? Breathing pattern is consistent
Fluoroscopy Assessment A good candidate – large amplitude, consistent, stable within gate
Fluoroscopy Assessment Poor candidate – not enough amplitude Poor candidate – inconsistent breathing pattern
Fluoroscopy Assessment Initial breathing trace With some coaching….
CT Scan • Contrast • Three scans – Free breathing – 4 D – Breath hold (contrast) • Planned on breath hold (exhale) – Anatomy on this CT checked against exhale phase of 4 D – Had hoped to eliminate 4 D, but deemed unsafe to do so
Planning • VMAT 10 MV • Flattening Filter Free (FFF) Mode – 2000 MU/min • Doses – HCC 40 Gy/5# (escalated to 45 Gy if feasible) – GI mets 45 Gy/5# or 45 Gy/3# – Alternate days • NTCP for RILD (≤ 5%)
Planning - Margins Gated • CTV = GTV + 5 mm • No ITV • PTV = CTV + 5 mm Non-Gated • CTV = GTV + 5 mm • ITV = CTV on 4 D • PTV = ITV + 5 mm
Planning Gated FB
Treatment
Treatment • At least 60 minutes booked • Radiation Oncologist and Physicist present • Set up patient, and wait for breathing to settle
Treatment Orthogonal k. V’s ↓ Anatomy match ↓ Marker match ↓ Move to match ↓ Fluoro confirmation ↓ Treat

Treatment
Treatment Delivery Set up patient Place RPM block Start tracking Marker Detection: Locate fiducials (Day 1 only) 2 D-2 D Match: k. V images Marker Match: Align fiducials (triggered) (uses k. V images) Fluoro patient Do fiducials match with DRR? NO YES Deliver gated treatment (10 MV FFF VMAT) Add beam-level imaging to Treatment Field Continually monitor intra-fraction imaging • During Treatment k. V • Trigger: Continuous at beam on
Outcomes • 11 patients in 18 months – 8 HCC – 3 Colorectal mets • Very good local control • Some Grade 3 toxicities – Nausea, fatigue, and thrombocytopenia (? )
Outcomes – Pre and Post PET
Outline • Context – – Anatomy and Physiology Tumours of the liver Management of liver tumours Challenges of RT to liver • Vancouver Centre’s Liver Gating technique • Implementation Considerations
Implementation Considerations • Training – Time booked on unit – Detailed procedure – Timing of training • Education – Invest in more general education Ø Create buy-in, engage staff
Implementation Considerations • Fluoroscopy – Assessment – Different mindset for RT’s • Breath coaching – Too little vs too much – Various tools available • Patient suitability
Implementation Considerations Resource Use Patient Outcomes Innovation Equality
Implementation Considerations Frequency Expertise
Implementation Considerations • Communication is key! • Great opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration
