3 THE ROLE OF INTRACAVITARY RADIOTHERAPY FOR CURATIVE MANAGEMENT AND ANAL PRESERVATION OF LOW RECTAL CANCERS

4 Intracavitary rectal radiotherapy A brief history H.Chaoul (Berlin) 1936 PL. Lamarque and Ch. M. Gros (Montpellier) 1947 Jean Papillon (CLB Lyon) Les disciples de Jean Papillon: JC Horiot 1965, JP Gérard 1970, puis RB Turnbull, B Sischy (1974), etc : Death of Jean Papillon ( ) : An endangered species? Specific equipment (Philips 50 Kv) discontinued : The Ariane thread: The Papillon 50! The renaissance: France, UK, DK, Sweden, Switzerland!

5 Intracavitary radiotherapy: Rationale Intrarectal delivery of contact radiotherapy 50 kv. X-rays. Low penetration (50 % at 7 mm.) High output (15-20 Gy per minute) Tumor destruction «layer per layer» at each fraction. Total dose Gy in 3-4 fractions with days intervals Treatment is ambulatory No severe early or late side effects

6 Contact x-ray 50 KV Jean PAPILLON Lyon 1975 Philips RT 50 ut1n0 : Day 1 (35 Gy) Day 7 (30 Gy) 2009 Day 21 (20 Gy)

LC 60 % and above Since 2000: IRRT + radio-chimio préopératoire to increase the rate of CR and sterilisation of T specimens Now: Evaluation of Watch and wait in patients with CR

19 Considerations techniques «modernes» - Imagerie - Radiothérapie externe - Radiothérapie endocavitaire: Papillon 50

20 1985 to 2009: In search of a tool! : failure of all attempts (including Intrabeam) Since 2004, Ariane Medical Systems UK develops the «Papillon 50». First commercial machine delivered in So far 9 worldwide, including ours! Enhanced radiation protection rules made it difficult to efficiently mimic what we were doing with the Philips 50!
