Disclosure Slide
The speaker is salaried and is not being paid to speak and has no conflicts of interest.
The speaker is a DABR and is licensed in Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Tennessee.
Standard CME disclosure forms have been filed with IU Health.

The Conclusions
Protons are better than traditional radiation for children for almost all types of cancer (likely also often better for adults) the dosimetry is different
Protons are not available everywhere because of cost (to build the facilities ~ $150+ M)
IU has perhaps the worlds finest proton beam, not all protons are the same
Dosimetric issues are critical in the optimal treatment of children using proton therapy

Pediatric Radiation Oncologists
Total COG Radoncs: 342
Full Members: 68
Those treating over 50 a year:
-
Numbers
About 12,000 under 21 will be diagnosed this year with cancer in the United States
3,000 will not win their fight
About 5% of pediatric radiation cases will get proton therapy

Where did radiation therapy come from?

1895 1920s 1950s to today

First MV Linear Accelerator: RB
13
This is Gordon Isaacs, the first patient treated with the linear accelerator (radiation therapy) for retinoblastoma in 1957.
Gordon's right eye was removed January 11, 1957, because the cancer had spread. His left eye, however, had only a localized tumor that prompted Henry Kaplan to try to treat it with the electron beam.
Gordon is now living in the East Bay, and his vision in the left eye is normal.

The Childrens Oncology Group: The National View on Proton Therapy
All CNS protocols allow protons.
National Q/C is required.
Hypotheses are being tested

How: IU Health Proton Therapy Center
20
-
What does this mean to a patient?
21
-
Old Ideas in a New Format
22
-
What is needed
Standard goals of pediatric radiation therapy Immobilization Anatomic considerations Experience Protocols
Team Good anesthesia (50% need it in this
population)
23
-
Anesthesia
Our local team is exceptional.
Our published data show our safety rate is the highest in the literature with our event rate being 0.07%.
24
-
Medical and Surgical Support
Riley is a COG site.
IU Health Bloomington has a top level ED and can handle any acute issue either in-house or via life-flight.
We see proton appropriate pediatric patients from all over the world.
Local pediatricians help our families get past normal illnesses of childhood and assist us on any number of issues.

IU CSI Board: Patent Pending
26
-
Plugging
27
-
Other Issues (in preparation for papers)
Beam arrangement
RBE concerns
Toxicity differences from photons
28
-
Some Nice Cases to View
29
-
Case #1 Medulloblastoma (CSI) Disease can be in multiple locations in the
spine and brain so we use craniospinal target
Patients can be very young
Overlap of dose can be lethal, so anesthesia is used
Considered the most complex thing we do in radiation oncology
30
-
Supine CSI with Protons at IUHPTC
31
-
Secondary Cancer Risk
Protons: 5-7% lifetime
X-rays: 93% lifetime
(MDACC model, published 2013)
32
-
Case #2 Pelvic Osteosarcoma
8yof with pelvic osteosarcoma after having had prior neuroblastoma in the same region when an infant about 5 years earlier.
Spacer use via some Bloomington Hospital work that is unique (and recently published).
Currently (3 years later) NED in the pelvis but with MDS from (presumably) all the chemotherapy. Doing well now after transplant for the MDS.

Pelvic proton therapy with a spacer
34
-
Case #3 - Retinoblastoma
Bilateral, but limited to the eyes only
Not chemoresponsive in this case
Good vision in both eyes however
History suggests that RB patients have extremely high late cancer ratesperhaps 30-40% rate for radiated tissue (normal is 10-15%)
35
-
Bilateral Retinoblastoma
36
-
Case #4 Desmoid of the Back17yof with a desmoid tumor s/p recurrence
37
-
Case #5 Craniopharyngioma
