MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy

MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy: Patients will receive MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (MRIgSBRT) delivered using a hybrid MRI-linear accelerator with online adaptive planning and real-time tumor tracking. Treatment will consist of 30-50 Gy delivered in 5 fractions according to clinical judgment, target characteristics, and organ-at-risk constraints. Daily adaptive replanning may be performed to account for anatomical changes and optimize dose delivery in patients with oligometastatic peritoneal carcinomatosis.

Study summary

This prospective phase II study evaluates the efficacy and safety of MRI-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (MRIgSBRT) in patients with oligometastatic peritoneal carcinomatosis from gastrointestinal or gynecological tumors. Eligible patients with up to 5 MRI-visible peritoneal lesions and PCI ≤20 will be treated with MRIgSBRT using a hybrid MRI-linear accelerator with online adaptive planning and real-time tumor tracking.

The primary endpoint is radiologic response rate according to RECIST 1.1 criteria. Secondary endpoints include overall survival, progression-free survival, local control, chemotherapy-free survival, and treatment-related toxicity. The study aims to assess MRIgSBRT as a safe and non-invasive treatment option for selected patients with limited peritoneal metastatic disease.
