Treatment of head & neck cancer
Surgery and radiation therapy with or without chemotherapy, but despite therapy, many cancers recur.
Further treatment for recurrent H & N cancer after multi-disciplined treatment is not uncommon
Photon beams re-irradiation is not recommended because of high complication and low successful rate.
LONG-TERM OUTCOME OF CONCURRENT CHEMOTHERAPYAND REIRRADIATION FOR RECURRENT AND SECOND PRIMARYHEAD-AND-NECK SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA
115 previously irradiated patients without overt metastases Surgical resection, concurrent chemotherapy and re-irradiation The median lifetime radiation dose was 131 Gy. The median F/U for survival patients was 67.4 months (18.5–158.7). The median OS and PFS was 11 and 7 months (range, 0.2–158.7) The 3-year OS = 22 % PFS = 33 % Locoregional control = 51 % Freedom from distant metastasis = 61 % For recurrent and second primary head-and-neck cancer, trimodality the
rapy with OP, C/T and re-RT for a full second dose offers potential for long-term survival.
Owing to the substantial toxicity and lack of an optimal regimen, re-irradiation of recurrent head-and-neck cancer should be limited to clinical trials.

In theory, BNCT provides a means to selectively eradicate malignant cells and spare normal cells.
To ensure success, a sufficient amount of 10B should be selectively delivered to the tumor and an adequate number of thermal neutrons should be absorbed in order to sustain a lethal 10B(n,α) 7Li capture reaction
[Ono et al., IJROBP 34: 1081-1086, 1996]. For BPA-based BNCT, it is necessary to analyze the act
ual distribution of BPA in vivo before determining factors for its indication, as well as before planning treatment and predicting outcome. For these purposes, numerous authors have used 18F-BPA-PET prior to employing BPA-based BNCT.
Trial in Taiwan A phase I/II trial of boron neutron capture therapy (BNC
T) for recurrent head and neck cancer at Tsing Hua Open-Pool Reactor (THOR) ” was drafted at Taipei Veterans General Hospital (TVGH) in 2008 and was approved by Institution Review Board of TVGH and our Department of Health in 2009.
The primary end points: treatment toxicities and tumor response rate.
The secondary end points: time to tumor progression, progression-free survival, overall survival, and change of quality of life.

•The BPA-uptake in ‘ ‘normal’’ tissue was measured in the subcutaneous connective tissue several cm away from the tumors.• 20– 25 Gy(Eq) to 80% of GTV/Fx for 2 Fx at interval of 30 days.•BPA injection - 1 st phase: 180 mg/kg/h for 2 h before neutron irradiation - 2nd phase: 1.5 mg/kg/min concurrent with irradiation and stopped when beam was off.•Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (version 1.1).•MRIs before and after BNCT were performed for tumor size evaluation
•High response rate with acceptable toxicity was obtained for this clinical trial with BNCT at THOR.•The decreased T/N ratios after first fraction of BNCT may indicate that the second fraction is less efficient than the previous one.
Hypothesis & Aim The success of BNCT ultimately depends upon the
selective delivery of 10B-atoms to tumor cells. Boron concentrations in surrounding normal structures as
well as in the tumor itself, for which 18F-BPA PET was utilized.
To the best of our knowledge, treatment failure of local recurrence and features of 10B uptake in tumors according to 1
8F-BPA-PET images have yet to be adequately assessed. The present study therefore aimed to qualitatively and qua
ntitatively elucidate the features of 18F-BPA-PET imaging in the outcome of BNCT therapy of recurrent head and neck cancer patients.

In-field failure vs. complete response. The relationship between patient characters,
disease status, pre-BNCT RT, 1st T/N ratio, treatment dosage, BPA-PET data, and clinical response were analyzed.

Results
Tumors were easily identified as high uptake areas in all cases. Areas of the dorsum tongue to middle pharynx were expressed as high uptake areas in all of the cases.
18F-BPA-PET is useful in demonstrating the presence of a tumor. Thus, it is crucial high uptake area corresponding to the dorsum area of the tongue when diagnosing a tumor using this technique.

Case Report 53 y/o woman CC:: obstructed nose and headache. Dx: Intranasal poorly differentiated car
cinoma, A 7.4 × 6 .7 × 4 .4 cm tumour causing
exophthalmos and diplopia
BNCT, 400 mg/kg of L- BPA -fructose ivf.
GTV dose = 31 Gy (W), PTV dose = 28 Gy (W), Optic chiasm = 4 Gy (W )
IMRT was given 6 weeks later with 44 Gy/17 Fx, followed by SBRT booster dose of 6 Gy.
Iv with cetuximab (250 mg/m 2) + cisplatin (40 mg/m 2), weekly during IMRT.
A radiological complete response was achieved one month after RT.
Summary
Histology of squamous cell carcnoma, Total Dose-eq (Gy), Volume BPA uptake heterogeneity data might be a prognostic factor for clinic response though no statistic significance.
The volume BPA uptake heterogeneity data were 0.7±0.2 (0.44-1.0) in CR group and 1.5±0.8 (0.71-2.69) in non-CR group, respectively
There is only 12 patients in this study. F/U of 20 months (6.4 – 38.6 months). The CR is depended on the FDG-PET 3 months after BNCT. However, its predictive and prognostic value remains to be cla
rified.
Conclusion BNCT is an effective treatment for advanced
local recurrent head and neck tumor with high percentage image CR rate in 20 months follow-up (6.4 – 38.6 months).
Though no statistic significance noted, volume of BPA uptake heterogeneity might be a prognostic factor for clinic response.
The low BPA uptake volume might need further RT boost for local control.
