ESTUDIO FASE I/II DE BRAQUITERAPIA DE SUPERFICIE CON KILOVOLTAJE EN CÁNCER DE CONJUNTIVA OCULAR: RESULTADOS PREELIMINARES	PHASE I/II STUDY ON KILOVOLTAGE SURFACE BRACHYTHERAPY IN CONJUNCTIVAL CANCER: PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Sarria V. Gustavo1, Sarria B. Gustavo1, Fuentes Rivera C. Paola, 1Zaharia B. Mayer1, Serpa F. Solón2, Buitrago B. Mario2	1Radiotherapy Department of the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases, Lima, Peru
	Summary
1Departamento de Radioterapia del Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas, Lima, Perú	Introduction
2Departamento de Oftalmología Oncológica del Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas, Lima, Perú	The bulbar conjunctiva is where this disease most frequently presents itself, and may have a poor prognosis if it is not diagnosed and treated early.
Resumen	For example, Uganda exhibits 12 new cases per million inhabitants per year, whereas England has a rate of 0.2 new cases per million inhabitants per year4, 5.
Introducción	In studies conducted in the United States, the rate was 0.3 patients per million inhabitants per year4.
El carcinoma epidermoide de la conjuntiva ocupa el segundo lugar en frecuencia entre los tumores malignos oculares1, 2, 3,.	There are currently no national statistics6.
La conjuntiva bulbar es el sitio más frecuente de presentación de esta enfermedad y puede tener mal pronóstico si no es diagnosticado y tratado precozmente.	Originally, brachytherapy was administered with plates of radioactive isotopes, which remained in contact with the surface that was to be treated for different times, depending on the rate of the emitted dose and required depth8.
Newton et al.	Objectives
mostraron que la incidencia del carcinoma de células escamosas de la conjuntiva disminuía aproximadamente un 49 % por cada 10º de incremento en latitud.	To establish the rate of acute complications in patients diagnosed with conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma, T1 - T3, who are undergoing kilovoltage surface brachytherapy.
	Secondary objectives:
	Discover the 5-year disease-free survival rate in patients diagnosed with ocular conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma, T1-T3, undergoing kilovoltage surface brachytherapy.
Por ejemplo, Uganda muestra 12 nuevos casos por millón de habitantes por año mientras que Inglaterra presenta una incidencia de 0,2 nuevos casos por millón de habitantes por año4, 5.	Hypothesis
En estudios realizados en Estados Unidos, la incidencia fue de 0,3 pacientes por millón de habitantes por año4.	The optimal tolerated single-fraction dose of treatment is equivalent to 46 and 66 Gy, according to the status of surgical margins, at fractions equivalent to 2 Gy, by applying the linear-quadratic model.
En población peruana, la data disponible según el Registro de Cáncer de Lima Metropolitana 2010-2012, consigna 157 nuevos casos en el periodo seleccionado, 83 en varones y 74 en mujeres, siendo la población mayor de 70 años la más afectada.	Materials and methods
No se cuenta actualmente con estadística nacional6.	The patients' position was set by placing thermoplastic masks, fenestrated on the patient's ocular region.
El manejo estándar primario en la actualidad es la resección quirúrgica, encontrando diversas herramientas en adyuvancia, como crioterapia, quimioterapia tópica y radioterapia en sus distintas modalidades (radioterapia externa y/o braquiterapia), las cuales mejoran la sobrevida libre de enfermedad según diversos reportes1, 7.	The portable 50kV INTRABEAM®accelerator (Carl Zeiss Meditec) was used, with Flat Applicators with a variable diameter of between 1-2cm, depending on the characteristics of the injury treated.
De forma clásica, la braquiterapia era administrada con placas de isótopos radioactivos, que permanecían en contacto con la superficie a tratar por tiempos distintos, según la tasa de dosis emitida y profundidad requerida8.	A radiobiological equivalent of 2 Gy/fraction was established, assuming a tumoral α/β ratio of 8 Gy: This is generally the value related to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.
El presente estudio busca determinar la utilidad de la monodosis de braquiterapia de superficie con kilovoltaje, analizando la aplicabilidad, toxicidad y tasas de control de enfermedad que pueda ofrecer.	(d+(α/β))/(2 Gy+(α/β)), based on the linear-quadratic model, and equivalent values of 46.8 Gy and 66 Gy at 2 Gy/fraction were obtained.
Objetivos	The toxicity was evaluated according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v4.03.
Principales:	The application of treatment was under the express authorisation of the patient by signed informed consent, with full knowledge of potential adverse effects from the use of radiation, which is recorded in the clinical history.
Establecer la tasa de complicaciones agudas en pacientes con diagnóstico de carcinoma epidermoide de conjuntiva ocular operado, T1- T3, sometidos a braquiterapia de superficie con kilovoltaje.	A descriptive analysis of the data was carried out through frequencies, percentages and summary measures (average, media, and range).
Establecer la dosis tolerable óptima de tratamiento en pacientes con diagnóstico de carcinoma epidermoide de conjuntiva ocular operado, T1- T3, sometidos a braquiterapia de superficie con kilovoltaje.	Differences between groups with a qualitative characteristic with reference to quantitative characteristics were evaluated with the t-test for independent samples (by a normality test of these characteristics), or its corresponding non-parametric test.
	The statistical analysis used R software (R Core Team (2017).
	R: A language and environment for statistical computing.
	R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria.
	URL: https://www.R-project.org/).
	Results
	The clinical (table 1), treatment (table
	2) and pathological characteristics (table
Secundario:	3) of 39 patients with conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma are described.
Hallar la sobrevida libre de enfermedad a 5 años en pacientes sometidos a braquiterapia de superficie con kilovoltaje con diagnóstico de carcinoma epidermoide de conjuntiva ocular operados, T1- T3, que son sometidos a braquiterapia de superficie con kilovoltaje.	The distribution by T classification was 35.9% for T1, 61.5% for T2 and 2.6% for T3.
Hipótesis	9 patients (23.1%) with acute complications were documented (Figure 2).
	In all cases, there was erythema or mild itching.
	No late toxicity has been found so far.
La tasa de complicaciones agudas de pacientes con diagnóstico de carcinoma epidermoide de conjuntiva ocular, operados, sometidos a braquiterapia de superficie con kilovoltaje es aceptable.	It was found that the status of the margins and the place of surgery are not associated (Figure 3).
La dosis tolerable óptima de tratamiento de una sola fracción es equivalente a 46 y 66 Gy, según el estado de los bordes quirúrgicos, en fracciones equivalentes a 2 Gy, aplicando el modelo lineal cuadrático.	In the group of patients with no complications, the average tumor size was 7.62 mm (range 2 to 20 mm) and in the group with complications, the size was 8.39 mm (range 1.5 to 20 mm).
La sobrevida libre de enfermedad a 5 años es comparable con los reportes históricos de tratamiento con radioterapia externa.	The median follow-up time was 12 months, with a minimum of 3 months and a maximum of 31 months.
Materiales y métodos	One-year disease-free survival was 96.7%, at the time there being no recurrence of disease in the patients with a longer follow-up time.
Entre octubre 2014 y junio 2017, 39 pacientes con diagnóstico de carcinoma epidermoide de conjuntiva ocular T1 – T3, sometidos a resección quirúrgica, no sometidos a quimioterapia tópica u otro tratamiento no radioterápico, recibieron adyuvancia con braquiterapia de superficie al lecho operatorio en una sola aplicación.	In health systems such as the Peruvian one, the administration of shortened treatment is introduced as an attractive alternative to reduce costs, without affecting the patients' quality of care.
La posición de los pacientes fue fijada mediante la colocación de máscaras termoplásticas, fenestradas sobre la región ocular del paciente.	The need for adjuvant therapy in conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma is imperative, given the results of disease control at the international level, compared to surgery alone.
Los movimientos oculares fueron limitados mediante el bloqueo de la musculatura extrínseca del globo y se expuso los tejidos con blefarostato, previa anestesia local de la superficie con gotas.	It presents figures of 10% recurrence in the first year follow-up and 21% at 5 years.
Se utilizó el acelerador portátil de 50 kV INTRABEAM® (Carl Zeiss Meditec), con aplicadores Flat, de diámetro variable entre 1 y 2 cm según las características de la lesión tratada.	Treatment with adjuvant cryotherapy decreases the rate of recurrence significantly in patients with compromised margins, HR, 0.51; P = 0.03, bringing the value of resected neoplasms with free margins to around 10% control in 5 years.7.
Las dosis utilizadas fueron de 18 Gy y 22 Gy, según el estado de los bordes quirúrgicos, libres o comprometidos, respectivamente.	In their work, they reported treatment with strontium plates at variable dosage, taking averages of 44 Gy, in daily doses of 4 Gy, and disease-free survival rates of 90.9% at 5 years.
Se estableció una equivalencia radiobiológica a dosis de 2 Gy por fracción, adoptando una relación α/β tumoral de 8 Gy, siendo este el valor relacionado a carcinoma epidermoide de cabeza y cuello en general.	Kearsley et al. in 1988 reported interesting results for the use of kilovoltage at variable dosage between 45 to 50 Gy in 8 to 15 fractions and a single fraction of 10 Gy, without recurrences in the treated patients, with follow-up periods exceeding 10 years and grade I early and late toxicities11.
Las dosis se calcularon con la fórmula: EQD2=D.	The application of 1 single session of surface brachytherapy greatly decreases potential errors of configuration and positioning, amongst others, that are subject to variation by daily treatments, achieving equivalent doses for disease control that have even greater biological value, given its nature12.
(d+(α/β))/(2 Gy+(α/β)), en base al modelo lineal cuadrático y se obtuvo valores equivalentes de 46.8 Gy y 66 Gy a 2 Gy por fracción.	The minimal invasiveness to achieve a stable position for the eyeball is remarkable, in a similar fashion to that reported by Semenova et al13.
La prescripción de dosis se realizó a 2 mm de profundidad, en relación al grosor de las estructuras oculares.	14. Every case had a spontaneous resolution within the first-month post-treatment, without the need for medical intervention.
La toxicidad fue evaluada según Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) 4.03.	These findings correlate with the descriptions in the literature 10, 11, achieving dose escalation suitable for disease control.
Aspectos éticos	To date, our Institution has replaced the use of isotopes for surface treatment, in line with the international trend towards migration to more secure systems of treatment, which allow for versatility in pathology management of other anatomical regions.
La aplicación de tratamiento fue bajo expresa autorización del paciente previa firma de consentimiento informado, en pleno conocimiento de efectos adversos potenciales del manejo con radiación, lo cual consta en la historia clínica.	One constraint is that the study is being carried out in only one institution.
Análisis estadístico	The preliminary results of disease-free survival are encouraging, taking into account the recurrent nature of this entity.
Se realizó un análisis descriptivo de la información a través de frecuencias, porcentajes y medidas resumen (promedio, mediana y rango).	A long-term follow-up is necessary in order to determine the real impact value of this form of treatment, such as the toxicity that could present itself over time.
Con la prueba Chi-cuadrado se evaluó la asociación entre características cualitativas en estudio, se usó la corrección de Yates cuando fue necesario.	The use of kilovoltage in the management of conjunctival squamous cell carcinoma is reproducible, viable and safe, according to the experience of our Institution.
Diferencias entre grupos de una características cualitativa respecto a características cuantitativas se evalúo con la prueba t para muestras independientes (previa prueba de normalidad de estas características) o su correspondiente prueba no paramétrica.	The support of other international centres in this investigation is important to reach a greater case volume and improve the strength of this study.
