A Cure for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma from 1950
![Page 4: Dr. Noelle O’Rourke Beatson Oncology Centre, Glasgow ...Radiotherapy alone was used to treat lymphomas 1950s-1970s Alkylating agents and wider use of chemo from 1970s, introduced](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050117/5f4d70e03ffec86ace3f4cb9/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Basic Principles of Radiotherapy
‘Radical’ doses are intended to cure cancerHigher dose spread out a little each day over several weeks
‘Palliative’ doses are lower dose intended to shrink tumours and improve symptoms – often given as a single dose or spread out over a few days
The higher ‘radical’ doses require complex computerised treatment plans whereas palliative treatments usually simpler set-up and can start at once

Toxicity of Radiotherapy
‘Acute’ Toxicity ‘Late’ Effects
Immediate side effects
Depends on which part of the body is being treated
Fatigue
Skin redness
Sore swallowing if chest RT
These effects self repair within weeks of finishing treatment
Only appear many years after treatment
Depend upon repair capacity of irradiated area
Not reversible
Second malignancies
Heart or lung damage

Risk of late onset breast cancer varies with age at time of RT
![Page 7: Dr. Noelle O’Rourke Beatson Oncology Centre, Glasgow ...Radiotherapy alone was used to treat lymphomas 1950s-1970s Alkylating agents and wider use of chemo from 1970s, introduced](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050117/5f4d70e03ffec86ace3f4cb9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Late Effects occur withChemotherapy and Radiotherapy Late cardiac and pulmonary toxicity, with chemo
and with RT
Solid tumours – breast and lung – secondary to RT
Hypothyroidism- neck RT
Gonadal and leukaemia risk only associated with chemo
Increased radiation damage late effects if: dose>40Gy, fraction per day >3Gy, ant weighting of beams, orthovoltage energy, -NONE of these are used in modern radiotherapy

RT vs Chemo vs Combination
Radiotherapy alone was used to treat lymphomas 1950s-1970s
Alkylating agents and wider use of chemo from 1970s, introduced in advanced stages of disease first
As late effects of large field RT became obvious a change towards more chemo and omitting RT
Current practice refining best balance of combining the two modalities

What dose of Radiation?
Radiotherapy dose is measured in Grays ‘Solid’ cancers need 65-70Gy to kill tumour
BNLI trial: 30 Gy for high grade NHL24 Gy for low grade
‘Palliative’ doses can be very lowGood responses possible with just 4Gy
Hodgkin’s standard dose 30Gypossible to reduce to 20Gy in some

The Future Defining optimal use of Combined modality
therapy : how much chemo and how much radiation and how best to combine ?
Utilising RT technology to maximise tumour kill while protecting normal tissues
Incorporating radioimmunotherapy into standard therapy for B cell NHL
Combining radiation with immunotherapy
‘Personalising’ treatment on basis of pathology, distribution of disease, response to initial treatment and individual risks
