Advanced Radiotherapy (ART) in Gynecological Cancer Patients (GYN-ART) (GYN-ART)

April 19, 2025 updated by: Andrei Fodor, MD, IRCCS San Raffaele

Efficacy of Advanced Radiotherapy (ART) in Gynecological Cancer Patients (GYN-ART)

This is an observational mono-institutional study. Patients with gynecologic tumors treated with advanced radiotherapy- Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT), Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT), Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)- will be included and toxicity and outcomes analyzed.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The patients with gynecological cancer treated with Advanced Radiotherapy (ART)- Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT), Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT), Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)- at the Department of Radiotherapy of "IRCCS San Raffaele Scientific Institute" (IRCCSSRaffaele) from January 2005 to January 2024 will be identified and their clinical and dosimetric data retrieved and analyzed.

The study objectives are the analysis of acute and late toxicity, and clinical outcomes, such as local, regional and distant control,disease free survival, cancer-specific survival, and overall survival. Secondary objective is the identification of prognostic factors for toxicity, disease progression, survival, including radiomic characteristics.

Cancer Specific Survival
Time Frame: From date of radiotherapy end until the date of death from disease progression, assessed up to 120 months
cancer survival

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Acute toxicity
Time Frame: Up to three months from the start of radiotherapy
Toxicity developed in the first three months after the treatment, assessed with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 scale, which displayes grades from 1 to 5, with grade 1 meaning mild toxicity and grade 5 death related to toxicity
Up to three months from the start of radiotherapy
Late toxicity
Time Frame: From three months after the start of radiotherapy until the end of follow-up or death, assessed up to 120 months
Toxicity developed after three months until the end of follow-up or death, assessed with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 scale, assessed with Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 scale, which displayes grades from 1 to 5, with grade 1 meaning mild toxicity and grade 5 death related to toxicity
From three months after the start of radiotherapy until the end of follow-up or death, assessed up to 120 months

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Predictive factors for disease progression and death
Time Frame: From radiotherapy end to date of local, regional progression, distant failure, or death, assessed up to 120 months
Factors predicting survival. Survival trees, univariate/multivariate Cox regression models will be estimated to identify potential risk factors associated with survival outcomes
From radiotherapy end to date of local, regional progression, distant failure, or death, assessed up to 120 months
Radiomic predictive factors for disease progression and death
Time Frame: From radiotherapy end to the first registered event (disease progression or death), assessed up to 120 months
