Project description:PurposeCombined modality therapy with multiagent chemotherapy and radiation therapy is a standard treatment option for aggressive mediastinal non-Hodgkin lymphomas (AMNHLs); however, concerns regarding acute and late radiation toxicities have fueled an effort to use systemic therapy alone. The use of proton therapy (PT) is a promising treatment option, but there are still limited data regarding clinical outcomes with this treatment modality. In this Particle Therapy Cooperative Group lymphoma subcommittee collaboration, we report outcomes of patients with AMNHL treated with pencil-beam scanning PT or double-scatter PT after chemotherapy.Methods and materialsThis was a multi-institutional retrospective observational cohort study of patients with AMNHL treated with PT following chemotherapy between 2011 and 2021. Progression-free survival (PFS), local recurrence-free survival (LRFS), and overall survival (OS) rates were estimated with the Kaplan-Meier method. PT toxicity was graded by the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. A 2-tailed paired t test was used for dosimetric comparisons.ResultsTwenty-nine patients were identified. With a median follow-up time of 4.2 years (range, 0.2-8.9 years), the estimated 5-year PFS for all patients was 93%, 5-year LRFS was 96%, and estimated 5-year OS was 87%. Maximum acute grade 1 (G1) toxicities occurred in 18 patients, and 7 patients had maximum G2 toxicities. No G3+ radiation-related toxicities were observed. Average mean lung dose and lung V20 Gy were lower for patients treated with pencil-beam scanning PT compared with double-scatter PT (P = .016 and .006, respectively), while patients with lower mediastinal disease had higher doses for all evaluated dosimetric heart parameters.ConclusionsPT after chemotherapy for patients with AMNHL resulted in excellent outcomes with respect to 5-year PFS, LRFS, and OS without high-grade toxicities. Future work with larger sample sizes is warranted to further elucidate the role of PT in the treatment of AMNHL.
