RT FOLLOWING NEOADJUVANT CHEMOTHERAPY Multidisciplinary evalu uation prior to starting chemotherapy Determining who is a candidate for BCT? Determine who needs post mastectomy radiation? How to integrate recon nstruction?
NSABP B18 >1500 patients Mean tumor size 3.5cm 26% clinically node positive Complete CR to preop p chemo 36% Complete pathologic response 13%

BCT FOLLOWING NEOADJVUANT CHEMOTHERAPAY BCT: Neoadjuvant CT increa ases rates of BCT Reasonable if margin negative resection can be achieved. Can be considered for T4N1 patients Clip placed pre treatme ent CONTRAINDICATIONS Diffuse microcalcifications Inflammatory breast cancer
BCT following NCT Multidisciplinary Coordination -careful serial imagingi -careful pathology -margin assessment BCT after neoadjuvant chemotherapy -effective and safe treatm ment -affords many option of BCT

PMRT FOLLOWING NEOADJVUANT CT All Stage III patients (based on pre chemo clinical stage) Stage I/II with 1-2 LN+ less clear All patients with inflammatory breast cancer
PREDICTORS OF LR FOLLOWING NCT Clinical tumor size at presentation Clinical nodal status s at presentation Pathologic nodal status Pathologic response in the breast Young age Margins < 2mm High grade LVI
SIDE EFFECTS OF RT ON RECONSTRUCTION Skin: hyperpigmentatio on, telengiectasia Flap: fibrosis, contractu ure, necrosis Implant: capsule contra acture, malposition, pain, infection, implant loss 40% risk of needing a second surgery

COLON CANCER VS. RECTAL CANCER Similar histology Rectal cancers are pro one to local recurrence as surgically less accessible Randomized trials hav ve established the role of concurrent chemort in rectal cancers
Neoadjuvant Chemoradiation Less toxic Downstages primary and LNs Improves sphincter preservation Improves local l control No change in survival Potential overtreatment:t2 vs. T3, N0 vs. N1 Increase in surgical mo orbidity
Rates of Sphincter-Sparing Surgery in 194 Patients Determined by the Surgeon before Randomization to Require Abdominoperineal Resection, According to Actual Treatment Given Sauer, R. et al. N Engl J Med 2004;351:1731-1740
Preoperative vs. Postoperative ChemoRT Local recurrence Distant recurrence Sauer, R. et al. N Engl J Med 2004;351:1731-1740
Conclusions Preoperative chemoradiotherapy improved local control reduced toxicity did not improve overall survival May over treat patients
Preoperative RT vs. TME alone
