Abstract
Background
The prognosis for patients with central nervous system (CNS) retinoblastoma (RB) (trilateral or stage 4b metastatic RB) treated with high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplant (HDC-ASCT) remains poor. The impact of irradiation when administered as part of upfront therapy post HDC-ASCT on treatment outcomes and survival is unknown.
Methods
We performed a retrospective review of all patients with CNS RB (seven stage 4b, eight trilateral, one pineal lesion belonging to methylation group RB) who underwent induction chemotherapy with an intent to proceed to HDC-ASCT at two institutions.
Results
Twelve of 16 patients (n = 75%) achieved an objective response to induction chemotherapy, while four patients had progressive/refractory disease; two patients responded to subsequent therapy and proceeded to ASCT, and two patients did not. Seven of 14 patients who underwent HDC-ASCT, received radiotherapy as part of upfront therapy post HDC-ASCT in the form of craniospinal irradiation (CSI) (n = 3), intraventricular radioimmunotherapy (n = 3), or both CSI and intraventricular radioimmunotherapy (n = 1). The Kaplan–Meier estimate of overall survival for these patients was 62.5% at 5 years; no patients developed second malignant neoplasms within the radiation fields. For the seven patients who did not receive radiotherapy, the overall survival was 28.6% at 5 years.
Conclusions
CSI (23.4 Gy) alone or in conjunction with intraventricular RIT may have clinical utility in eliminating persistent MRD post HDC-ASCT, contributing to improved disease-free survival in patients with CNS RB. This treatment strategy merits evaluation in a prospective, multicenter clinical trial for patients with CNS metastatic RB.
