Head and Neck Cancer—Model for Understanding CTV Expansion
• Radiation therapy is key to successful definitive and adjuvant treatment
• Complex patterns of failure • Local tumor spread • Regional nodes • Perineural invasion • Distant Metastasis
• Multidisciplinary treatment options allow individualized treatment • Serious and life-threatening acute toxicities • Long-term impact on function/organ preservation and quality of life
![Page 3: From GTV to CTV: A Critical Step Towards Cure · From GTV to CTV: A Critical Step Towards Cure Kenneth Hu, MD . Associate Professor . New York University Langone Medical Center](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040923/5e9dab4ee24dbc500363b883/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Defining GTV
• Physical examination—Extent of local spread and relationship to adjacent organs
• Appropriate Anatomic and Functional Imaging—CT, PET, MRI • Multidisciplinary Evaluation
• Radiologist • Pathologist • Medical oncology plans • Surgical op notes/planned vs salvage
• Implications for simulation: IV contrast, Radiographic markers (wiring/bb’s)

Importance of Physical Exam to Define Primary GTV: Example 1 • 76yo Male non-smoker who presents with Base of Tongue carcinoma • PET/CT on 3/18/15 showed a FDG avid enhancing mass in the left
base of tongue measuring 2.8 x 2.2 cm in maximum area in the axial plane (SUV 7.4) and 2.9 cm in maximum craniocaudad dimension. Inferiorly, the mass extends into the left vallecula;
• Surgery agrees with imaging findings • Biopsy: squamous cell carcinoma

• Physical exam: • Inspection of oral cavity/oropharynx: Trismus, Tongue mobility, Tonsil/oral
tongue involvement • Palpation of primary site/neck nodes • Endoscopy: L bot lesion into larynx
![Page 6: From GTV to CTV: A Critical Step Towards Cure · From GTV to CTV: A Critical Step Towards Cure Kenneth Hu, MD . Associate Professor . New York University Langone Medical Center](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040923/5e9dab4ee24dbc500363b883/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Example 2: Importance of Physical Exam to Determine Unilateral vs Bilateral Treatment in Oropharynx • 69yo M with 35pk-yr Tob who presents with bulky left neck nodes II-
V. FNA showed p16+ SCC. • PET/CT showed:

• Stage T2N2b • Decision: Unilateral radiation concurrent with chemotherapy
Physical Exam showed L tonsil lesion lateralized away from midline
![Page 8: From GTV to CTV: A Critical Step Towards Cure · From GTV to CTV: A Critical Step Towards Cure Kenneth Hu, MD . Associate Professor . New York University Langone Medical Center](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040923/5e9dab4ee24dbc500363b883/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Defining CTV
• Clinical Target Volume defines areas of potential microscopic tumor spread—High Risk 66-70Gy, Intermediate Risk 60-63Gy, Low Risk (50-56Gy)
• Based on patterns of failure for a tumor • Tailored to histology, tumor location, stage • Impact on acute-and chronic toxicity to adjacent normal organs
![Page 10: From GTV to CTV: A Critical Step Towards Cure · From GTV to CTV: A Critical Step Towards Cure Kenneth Hu, MD . Associate Professor . New York University Langone Medical Center](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040923/5e9dab4ee24dbc500363b883/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Basics of Contouring CTV
• CTV High= GTV + 3-5mm—trim based on skin, air and bone along with compartments
• CTV Intermediate=Areas of potential spread locally and regional nodes • CTV Low=Areas at risk further away from GTV, second echelon nodes

Pathologic Factors Important for CTV Coverage
• Extracapsular /soft tissue extension—5-10mm margins • Post-operative-Treat scar/surgical bed • Perineural Invasion
![Page 38: From GTV to CTV: A Critical Step Towards Cure · From GTV to CTV: A Critical Step Towards Cure Kenneth Hu, MD . Associate Professor . New York University Langone Medical Center](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040923/5e9dab4ee24dbc500363b883/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Perineural Invasion—Pathologic and Clinical Definitions
• Pathologic • Focal—small nerve • Extensive—Multifocal, Intraneural, >0.1mm, named branch of nerve
• Clinical • Radiographic evidence of nerve involvement • Symptomatic

Recommended Elective Neural Coverage
• Focal PNI • Consider larger margin 2cm at tumor bed
• Extensive PNI • Involved nerve to skull base
• Clinical PNI • Involved nerve—peripheral to skull base and intracranial extension • Communicating nerve
• Histologies with PNI—Parotid (Salivary Duct, Adenoid Cystic Cancer) Recurrent skin cancers, Squamous cell carcinoma of nasopharynx, Lymphoma

Conclusions
• Multidisciplinary evaluation of imaging, pathology, surgery, exam • CTV expansion based on radiation oncologist understanding of
patterns of failure • Importance of understanding CTV dosing impact on adjacent normal
organs—function and quality of life
