Brief Summary

We propose to evaluate the contribution of a standardized process combining,

* a validation of re-irradiation indications by a group of multi-professional experts (radiotherapists and physicists) and,

* a collective validation of the accumulation of doses on all the organs of the anatomical region concerned obtained using deformable fusion software (MiM) allowing the accumulation of doses in terms of Equivalent Dose 2 Grays (EQD2).

The primary objective of this study is to determine the rate of patients for whom this process has changed the treatment plan.

Detailed Description

Recent clinical data confirm the possibility and clinical benefit of delivering a second irradiation with curative intent even if the commonly accepted maximum doses to OARs had been reached during the first irradiation.

However, there is no consensus on acceptable doses to AORs in a re-irradiation context. The difficulty of making decisions and validating dosimetry may limit access to treatment. Re-irradiations are therefore carried out according to local experience and equipment, resulting in territorial inequality.

MiM software is an innovative software dedicated to images registration and dose summation. It allows the EQD2 doses of the various irradiations to be cumulated.

Recruitment and inclusion step: For each included patient (signed consent form), the center provides an initial opinion concerning the indication for re-irradiation with curative intent (Opinion 1).

Indication and pre-dosimetric study step:

* If re-irradiation with curative intent Is not feasible according to the center: timages of the 1st irradiation and recent diagnosis images will be sent to Centre Léon Bérard (CLB), merged into MIM by physicists, and the indication is discussed in a multidisciplinary meeting (Opinion 2).

* If re-irradiation with curative intent is feasible according to the center: CT + RT structures+doses of 1st irradiation and dosimetric scan of the 2nd irradiation will be sent to CLB, merged into MIM. Multidisciplinary meeting will deliver the Opinion 3 with dosimetric instructions for the new irradiation, in particular OARs doses constraints.

Study withdrawal if the indication for re-irradiation is not validated.

Cumulative doses validation step:

CT + RT structures+doses of the planned re-irradiation will be sent to CLB and EQD2 doses will be summed into MIM. If cumulative doses are accepted by consensus, multidisciplinary meeting will deliver the Opinion 4. Otherwise the center will have to do a new planimetry.

Patients for whom re-irradiation with curative intent has been declared possible will be followed for 2 years according to standard practices, approximately every 3 months and analyzed for tolerance and efficiency.
