Group 1 (Low Risk): New WHO Grade 1, GTR or STR
Group 2 (Interim Risk): Recurrent Grade 1, GTR or STRNew WHO Grade 2, GTR
Group 3 (High Risk): Any WHO Grade 3, GTR or STRRecurrent Grade 2, GTR or STRNew Grade 2, STR
Results• There was no difference in PFS between the subgroups (p=.503), validating our co-grouping of these entities into 1 prognostic category
• 3y PFS 96.0%
• 3y local control 98.0%
• 3y overall survival 96.0%
• According to the pre-specified analysis, AEs (definitely, probably or possibly related to protocol treatment) were limited to grade 1 or 2*, with no grade 3 events. Among 44 receiving IMRT, 4 (9%) developed grade 2* acute AEs, and 11 (25%) grade 2 late Aes.

Conclusions• This is the 1st completed cooperative group meningioma trial
• The 1st NRG/RTOG brain trial with protocol-specific IMRT parameters
• Patients with intermediate-risk meningioma (new WHO II with GTR or recurrent WHO I) treated with RT experienced 3y PFS of 96.0%, and 3y local control 98.0%
• Such treatment (54Gy/30) is well tolerated, with no acute or late AEs >2
• Path concordance is favorable (equal or superior to gliomas), at least among NRG institutions. If your WHO II percentages are <20-25%, inquire
• This study confirms that NRG can accrue meningioma patients well, and can mount a phase III trial
• We are planning a randomized trial of observation versus adjuvant RT for gross totally resected (Simpson grade 1-3) atypical meningioma

Background• Esophageal carcinoma is a common disease with high mortality worldwide, especially in China.
• Chemoradiotherapy has become the most common treatment modality for LA-ESCC, but the definition of nodal irradiation volume is still a controversial topic.
• Elective Nodal Irradiation (ENI) practice is being widely adopted as a standard treatment regimen. However, ENI increased irradiation volume of the esophagus which presented as the major factor with possible complications of chemoradiotherapy.
• The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of reducing the nodal irradiation volume while maintaining the reasonable loco-regional lymph nodal control rate.
Study Design
Objective• Primary Endpoints:
o Toxicity
o Loco-regional lymph nodal recurrence (in-field, out-field)
• Secondary Endpoints:o Overall Survival (OS)
o Progression-free Survival (PFS)
Results
• IFI significantly decreased radiation pneumonitis and radiation esophagitis compared to ENI
• IFI didn't increase loco-regional lymph nodes recurrence especially the out-field recurrence rates compared to ENI
• They had similar Overall Survival and Progressive Free Survival
For patients with LA-ESCC treated with IFI compared to ENI group
Conclusions• Our study has preliminarily established the advantage of IFI in the radiotherapy of esophageal carcinoma.
• The results will dramatically alter the nodal irradiation volume significantly in future practice.
• It will also decrease the radiation pneumonitis and radiation esophagitis and obtain the same treatment effect accordingly.
• This could bring great benefit to the esophageal cancer patients.
