Current standard RT doses (24-25Gy) provide excellent disease control for patients with indolent B-cell orbital lymphoma, but can cause significant late toxicities. Ultra-low dose RT (4Gy in 2 fractions) has minimal toxicity but lower disease control, requiring intensive follow-up to salvage persistent tumors. Some centers are moving towards this dose as the new standard. A recent study using 12Gy in 4 fractions to any body site showed early data suggesting high disease control rates with minimal toxicity. This study assesses 12Gy in 6 fractions, aiming to enhance disease control over 4Gy while reducing toxicity compared to 24Gy.

Time frame: 24 Months after Treatment
Response rates (complete/partial/minimal response, stable/progressive disease)
Time frame: 6 months and 12 months after treatment
Evaluate orbital local control
Time frame: 5 years after treatment
Assess freedom from further in-field RT (FFRT), freedom from distant relapse (FFDR) and overall survival (OS)
Time frame: 2 year and 5 year after treatment
Health-Related Quality of Life using the EORTC QLQ-C30
The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire - Core 30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) measures health-related quality of life through 5 functional, 9 symptom, and 1 global health status scale; minimum score = 0, maximum score = 100 (for functional scales, higher is better; for symptom scales, lower is better)
Time frame: 5 years after treatment
Ocular Toxicity per CTCAE (5.0)
Time frame: 2 year and 5 year after treatment
