Intensity-modulated radiation therapy for orbital lymphoma

TLDR
IMRT is feasible when treating orbital lymphoma and reduces dose to critical structures while providing excellent dose coverage of target volumes, similar to conventional RT, with no increased toxicity.
Abstract
Purpose Orbital manifestations of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) are rare and accounts for only 1% of all cases of NHL. There have been no reports of treating orbital lymphoma using intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT).

Ocular Risks From Orbital and Periorbital Radiation Therapy: A Critical Review

TL;DR: An overview of the potential complications of orbital radiotherapy and recommendations for the management of RTrelated toxicities are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term outcomes and patterns of failure in orbital lymphoma treated with primary radiotherapy.

TL;DR: Definitive RT to 30 Gy was shown to be highly effective for indolent OL, and this study represents one of the largest single-institution studies using primary RT for stage IE OL.

CyberKnife radiosurgery for the treatment of intraocular and periocular lymphoma.

TL;DR: CyberKnife radiosurgery is a well-tolerated technique for the treatment of intraocular and periocular lymphoma, allowing for local resolution of the lesions.

Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma of Ocular Adnexa: Outcomes following Radiation Therapy.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that radiation therapy (median 25 Gy) for extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of the ocular adnexa is associated with high local control and low risk of visually significant complications.

Arterial Wall Dosimetry for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Patients Treated with Radioimmunotherapy

TL;DR: The dosimetry analysis suggested that arterial wall toxicity is highly unlikely in standard dose radioimmunotherapy but should be considered a potential concern and limiting factor in myeloablative therapy.

Curative radiotherapy for primary orbital lymphoma.

TL;DR: Radiotherapy alone is a highly effective modality in the curative management of primary orbital lymphoma and the use of the lens-sparing technique did not influence the incidence of cataractogenesis, and it is recommended to recommend this approach whenever possible.

Radiotherapy in the management of orbital lymphoma.

TL;DR: Radiotherapy is a safe and effective local treatment in the management of orbital lymphoma and control of disease in the orbit was achieved in all but 1 patient, who developed an out-of-field recurrence after irradiation of a lacrimal tumor and was salvaged with further radiotherapy.

A retrospective analysis of different modalities for treatment of primary orbital non-Hodgkin's lymphomas

TL;DR: Primary orbital lymphoma is an indolent, usually stage I disease, showing low to intermediate-grade histology, and after biopsy the best treatment is 30 (low-grade) to 40 Gy (intermediate- grade) carefully planned, lens-sparing megavoltage radiation without adjuvant chemotherapy.

Lymphoreticular tumors of the orbit.

TL;DR: In the 8 patients with secondary malignant lymphoma, the orbital disease was controlled by irradiation, although all patients required further treatment and died of their disease, and in the 5 and 10 year cause specific actuarial survival rates were 70 and 62%.
