AIM
To evaluate the outcome of re-irradiation and to define favourable pre-treatment characteristics.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
seventy-five patients with locally recurrent head and neck cancer were treated with re-irradiation, either postoperatively or as definitive treatment, with and without chemotherapy. Mean time period between first and second series of irradiation was 19 months. Mean overall dose of re-irradiation was 46 Gy. Median follow-up was 8.7 months.
RESULTS
Overall survival, loco-regional disease-free survival and metastasis-free survival after two years were 23%, 24% and 77%, respectively. Higher overall doses of re-irradiation gave a statistically significant better outcome with regard to overall survival (p=0.018).
CONCLUSION
For patients with locally recurrent head and neck cancer, re-irradiation is a feasible therapeutic option. The total dose at re-irradiation improves overall survival. Therefore, re-irradiation with curative intent should only be applied if a sufficient total dose of ≥46 Gy can be given.
