Radiation can induce DNA double-stranded breaks, which are typically detected by the fluorescence of phosphorylated histone H2AX. In this study, we examined the usefulness of the dynamics of radiation-induced gamma-H2AX foci of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs), as a marker of DNA repair ability, in predicting late adverse events from radiotherapy. A total of 46 patients with cervical, vaginal and anal canal cancers treated with radical radiotherapy between 2014 and 2019 were included in this analysis. Concurrent chemotherapy was administered in 36 cases (78.3%). Peripheral blood was obtained before treatment, and then irradiated ex vivo with 1 Gy X-ray. The ratio of radiation-induced gamma-H2AX foci in PBLs measured at 30 min and at 4 h was defined as the foci decay ratio (FDR). With a median follow-up of 54 months, 9 patients (19.6%) were observed to have late genitourinary or gastrointestinal (GU/GI) toxicity. The FDR ranged from 0.51 to 0.74 (median 0.59), with a significantly higher incidence of Grade 1 or higher late adverse events in the FDR ≥ 0.59 group. In multivariate analysis, FDR ≥ 0.59 and hypertension also emerged as significant factors associated with the development of late toxicities. Overall, our results suggest that measurement of radiation-induced gamma-H2AX foci in PBLs may predict the risk of late GU/GI toxicities from chemoradiotherapy, which can enable tailoring the radiation dose to minimize adverse effects.

BACKGROUND/AIM: This study evaluated the association between programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) and prognosis in patients with cervical cancer treated with postoperative radiation and the impact of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) on this association. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Immunohistochemical analysis was performed on biopsy specimens from 42 patients who did not receive NAC and from paired samples before (biopsies) and after (resected tissues) chemotherapy from 46 patients who received NAC to determine the association of PD-L1 with radiotherapy outcomes. RESULTS: In the non-NAC group, patients with ≥10% PD-L1-expressing tumor cells prior to treatment had better recurrence-free survival (RFS) than those with <10% PD-L1-expressing tumor cells (p=0.001). In the NAC group, RFS was significantly lower (p=0.005) in the group with a ≥5% reduction of PD-L1 expression in tumor cells after chemotherapy than in those with <5% reduction. In multivariate analysis, only PD-L1 expression (non-NAC group) and the change in PD-L1 expression (NAC group) were associated with RFS. CONCLUSION: Low PD-L1 expression in a cervical tumor prior to treatment was identified as a risk factor for a poor outcome after postoperative radiotherapy. Furthermore, NAC induces an immunological shift that reduces PD-L1 levels in tumor cells, thereby negatively impacting treatment outcomes.

Preoperative intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy (IACRT) can improve the outcome and reduce the extent of surgery in patients with advanced oral cancer. However, the response to this regimen varies among patients, which may be related to the immune status of the tumor. We investigated the effects of proteins involved in tumor immunity on the outcomes of combined IACRT and surgery for oral cancer. We examined CD8 + and FoxP3 + tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression on immune cells and tumor cells in pretreatment biopsy samples from 69 patients diagnosed with oral cancer treated with IACRT at our institution during 2000-2020. Patients with abundant CD8 + TILs had significantly better 5-year disease-specific survival (DSS) compared to that of patients with less infiltration of these cells (P = 0.016). Patients with higher FoxP3 + T-cells invasion had significantly better DSS compared to that of less FoxP3 (P = 0.005). Patients with high PD-L1 expression in tumor cells and immune cells had significantly better DSS than that of patients with low PD-L1 expression in these cells (P = 0.009 and P = 0.025, respectively). Collectively, these results suggest that the tumor immune microenvironment could affect outcomes of IACRT treatment in oral cancer.

Virtual clinical trials (VCTs) can potentially simulate clinical trials on a computer, but their application with a limited number of past clinical cases is challenging due to the biased estimation of the statistical population. In this study, we developed ExMixup, a novel training technique based on machine learning, using iteratively redistributed extrapolated data. Information obtained from 100 patients with prostate cancer and 385 patients with oropharyngeal cancer was used to predict the recurrence after radiotherapy. Model performance was evaluated by developing outcome prediction models based on three types of training methods: training with original data (baseline), interpolation data (Mixup), and interpolation + extrapolation data (ExMixup). Two types of VCTs were conducted to predict the treatment response of patients with distinct characteristics compared to the training data obtained from patient cohorts categorized under risk classification or cancer stage. The prediction models developed with ExMixup yielded concordance indices (95% confidence intervals) of 0.751 (0.719-0.818) and 0.752 (0.734-0.785) for VCTs on the prostate and oropharyngeal cancer datasets, respectively, which significantly outperformed the baseline and Mixup models (P < 0.01). The proposed approach could enhance the ability of VCTs to predict treatment results in patients excluded from past clinical trials.

Combined chemoradiotherapy (CRT) and programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) blockade is a new care standard for unresectable stage III non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although this consolidation therapy has improved the overall survival of patients with NSCLC, the synergistic action mechanisms of CRT and immunotherapy on T cells remain unclear. In addition, there is a paucity of reliable biomarkers to predict clinical responses to therapy. In this study, we analyzed T-cell receptor (TCR) sequences in the peripheral blood of five patients with NSCLC. T-cell receptor analysis was undertaken before treatment, after CRT, and after PD-L1 blockade. Notably, we observed the expansion and alteration of the dominant T-cell clonotypes in all cases with a complete response. In contrast, neither expansion nor alteration of the TCR repertoire was observed in cases with progressive disease. T cell expansion was initiated after CRT and was further enhanced after PD-L1 blockade. Our findings suggest the systemic effect of CRT on circulating T cells in addition to the curative effect on limited tumor sites. Dynamic changes in circulating T-cell clonotypes could have a prognostic significance for combined CRT and PD-L1 blockade.

Resistance of cervical cancer to radiotherapy with concurrent chemotherapy (CCRT) results in a poor prognosis. To identify new biomarkers for predicting the treatment response and prognosis, we explored exosomal microRNA (miRNA) expression signatures associated with the outcome of cervical cancer patients treated with CCRT. Exosomes were isolated from the plasma of 45 patients prior to CCRT during 2014-2020, and miRNA analysis was performed by next-generation sequencing. At a median follow-up of 38 months, 26 patients were recurrence free, 15 patients had died of the disease, and 4 patients received salvage chemotherapy due to distant metastasis. Of the 2522 miRNAs detected, 9 (miR-148a-5p, 1915-3p, 3960, 183-5p, 196b-5p, 200c-3p, 182-5p, 374a-5p, and 431-5p) showed differential expression between the recurrence-free and recurrence groups. Patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups according to the cutoff of the miRNAs-based risk score calculated from respective expression levels. The high-risk group had significantly worse disease-specific survival than the low-risk group (p < 0.001). In addition, miR-374a-5p and miR-431-5p expression showed a weak inverse correlation with tumor-infiltrating CD8+ and FOXP3+ T cells, suggesting a potential inhibitory effect on CCRT by suppressing tumor immunity. This miRNA signature could improve non-invasive monitoring and personalized treatment for cervical cancer.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the clinical and histopathologic effects of neoadjuvant intra-arterial chemoradiotherapy (IACRT) using cisplatin in combination with oral S-1 (tegafur/gimeracil/oteracil potassium) on stage III and IV oral squamous cell carcinoma. STUDY DESIGN: Thirty patients received infusions of superselective intra-arterial cisplatin 60 mg/m2 by the Seldinger method and conventional external beam radiotherapy (total 40 Gy) combined with oral S-1 on the day of irradiation. Curative surgery and neck dissection were performed 4 to 6 weeks after IACRT. The clinical response of the primary lesion was evaluated approximately 4 weeks after IACRT. The surgically resected specimens were examined for histologic features according to the grading system for histologic evaluation and for residual tumor grade (RGrades). RESULTS: Histopathologic evaluation of the therapeutic effect was grade 2 in 10 patients and grade 3 in 16 patients. According to the distribution of RGrades, the remaining tumor cells were mostly in the central area of the primary lesion, as seen in 24 patients. CONCLUSIONS: These findings indicate that neoadjuvant IACRT with cisplatin and oral S-1 was an effective treatment, suggesting the possibility of reducing the extent of curative surgery based on RGrades.

Human papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancer is one of the diseases entities for which the applications of radiotherapy have been increasing. Recently, the process of carcinogenesis from HPV infection and the mechanism of tumor immunity that develops during disease progression have been elucidated. In this review, we will describe the mechanism of tumor immunity and how chemoradiotherapy may overcome and improve the efficacy of tumor immunity. We will also discuss the usefulness of proteins involved with tumor immunity as a predictive marker of radiotherapy response, and present an overview of ongoing clinical trials of combinations of immune checkpoint inhibitors and radiotherapy to demonstrate the promising combination therapy that has been currently emerging.

PURPOSE: To elucidate the characteristics of 3 D frame coils and identify the optimal coil for visceral aneurysms. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Using a vascular model, we compared the postembolization coil distribution and repulsive force of three coils: Guglielmi detachable coil (GDC; stock wire diameter, 0.004 in; primary diameter, 0.015 in), Target XL (0.003, 0.014), and Target XXL (0.003, 0.017). Additionally, the coil area, roundness, and center of gravity were quantitatively compared. The coil repulsive force was measured by compressing the postembolization vessel model with a digital force gauge. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in the coil area and roundness among the three coil types. Compared with the Target coils, the GDC deployed evenly along the vessel wall, its center of gravity was less displaced, and although it had the lowest embolic density, its repulsive force was greater regardless of the number of coils used. CONCLUSIONS: GDC coils with a larger stock wire diameter and a smaller primary diameter unfolded evenly along the wall and had a greater repulsive force. Coil stiffness contributes to coil stability and shape retention, indicating the possibility of preventing recurrence by selecting a frame coil with a focus on coil stiffness.

To supplement clinical decision-making in the management of cervical cancer, various prognostic factors, including tumor immune microenvironments, were examined in patients with cervical cancer treated with definitive chemoradiotherapy. We retrospectively analyzed the expression of CD8, FoxP3, HLA-1, PD-L1, and XRCC4 in 100 cases of cervical cancer. The observed tumor immune microenvironments were also classified into three types: inflamed, excluded, and cold type. Less FoxP3+ T cells and cold-type tumor were found to be poor prognostic factors in addition to non-SCC, large pre-treatment tumor volume, and three or less cycles of concurrent chemotherapy based on multivariate analysis. Cold-type tumors had significantly worse prognoses than the other two types, whereas inflamed- and excluded-type tumors showed similar 5-year disease-specific survival (P < 0.001; 0% vs. 60.3% vs. 72.3%). Radiotherapy could overcome the inhibitory immune microenvironment that occurs in excluded type. Individualized combination therapy adapted to pre-treatment tumor immunity may be necessary to improve radiotherapy outcomes in cervical cancer.

本邦では、肛門管の原発性扁平上皮癌(SCC)は稀な疾患であり、治療方法及び治療成績に関する報告は少ない。現在、肛門管癌に対する化学放射線療法の標準治療は、5-FU+MMC+RTとされており、救済治療として手術が考えられている。5-FUは持続静注投与であり、入院加療が必要となり、そのため、経口剤であるS-1を用いたS-1+MMC+RTの方が、利便性が高いと考える。さらに、S-1は、5-FUのプロドラックであるテガフールと、ギメラシルが含まれている。ギメラシルは、5-FUの肝臓での分解を強力に抑え、結果としてフルオトウラシルを生体内で高濃度かつ長時間維持させる目的でS-1に含有されているが、他施設及び当科の基礎研究でギメラシルの放射線増感があることが示唆されており、それに期待してS-1を使用することとした。今回、当院で肛門管癌(StageI-IIIC(UICC8th))に対してS-1+MMC+RTを施行した9症例に対して検討した。(著者抄録)

PURPOSE: To evaluate radiotherapy-induced changes in the expression of programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1), programmed death 1 (PD-1), and human leukocyte antigen class I (HLA-1) in patients with uterine cervical cancer, as well as infiltration of CD8+ and Forkhead box P3+ (FoxP3+) T lymphocytes into tumor tissue and the prognostic value of these parameters. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed immunohistochemical analysis of pre-radiotherapy biopsies and corresponding post-radiotherapy resected tissues in 104 uterine cervical cancer patients undergoing preoperative chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy alone. We scored the expression of various proteins to distinguish positive from negative samples. RESULTS: PD-L1-expressing tumor cells (PD-L1 TC) increased significantly after chemoradiotherapy (p = 0.043). CD8+ T cell infiltration (p = 0.002) and FoxP3+ T cell infiltration (p = 0.003) decreased significantly after chemoradiotherapy. Expression of PD‑1, PD-L1-expressing immune cells (PD-L1 IC), and HLA‑1 did not change after chemoradiotherapy. In biopsy specimens obtained before chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy, greater infiltration of CD8+ T cells (p = 0.001) and FoxP3+ T cells (p = 0.003) were significant predictors of better overall survival (OS). In surgical specimens obtained after chemoradiotherapy or radiotherapy, greater infiltration of PD-L1 TC was the only significant predictor of better OS (p < 0.001) and was related to a significantly lower probability of out-of-field recurrence (p = 0.005). CONCLUSION: Chemoradiotherapy induced an immunologic shift that increased PD-L1 TC. Chemoradiotherapy has immunological effects that can influence the results of treatment for uterine cervical cancer.

Background/Aim: Accurate prediction of radiotherapy results is indispensable for the individualized selection of treatment modalities of cancer. We examined the application of the artificial neural network (ANN) model in predicting radiotherapy results using clinical factors and immunohistochemical staining of Ku70 as inputs. Patients and Methods: We analyzed 79 prostate cancer patients with localized adenocarcinoma treated with radiotherapy between August 2001 and October 2010. We also analyzed 46 hypopharyngeal cancer patients with squamous cell carcinoma treated with radiotherapy between March 2002 and December 2009. The properly trained ANN analysis using a standard feedforward, back-propagation neural network was used to predict the radiotherapy treatment results. Results: The areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUC) were 0.939 for patients treated with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)+androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), 0.803 for IMRT alone, and 0.960 for 3D-conformal radiotherapy (CRT) alone in prostate cancer. Sensitivity and specificity were 85.7% and 90.4% for IMRT+ADT, 75.0% and 88.5% for IMRT alone, and 92.3% and 100% for 3D-CRT alone. The AUC was 0.901 for hypopharyngeal cancer. Sensitivity and specificity were 66.7% and 88.2%, respectively. Conclusion: We demonstrated a possibility to predict the radiotherapy treatment results in prostate and hypopharyngeal cancer using ANN in combination with Ku70 expression and clinical factors as inputs.

PURPOSE: To assess the correlation between postimplant dosimetric quantifiers and the genitourinary (GU) toxicity of low-dose rate brachytherapy for prostate cancer.METHODS AND MATERIALS: The minimum urethral dose (UD10, 30, and 90) and the percent volume of the urethra receiving the prescription dose (V100, V150) were calculated from the post-implant dose-volume histograms of 182 patients. We then calculated various urethral biologically equivalent doses (uBEDs) using different values of the alpha/beta ratio and tissue repair half-time (t1/2) and examined the correlations with GU toxicity.RESULTS: Common dosimetric quantifiers, such as UD90 (brachytherapy) + UD50 (external beam radiotherapy), showed no correlation with Grade >= 2 GU toxicity. There was a significant correlation between Grade GU toxicity and uBED when the alpha/beta value was 0.5 or 1 Gy and t1/2 was 0.5-2.5 h. An uBED (alpha/beta = 1.0, t1/2 = 0.5) had the largest hazard ratio for GU toxicity, and it was also significantly correlated with Grade >= 2 GU toxicity according to multivariate analysis.CONCLUSIONS: We observed a significant correlation of uBED with GU toxicity when alpha/beta was 0.5 or 1.0 Gy and t1/2 was 0.5-2.5 h. As the simple formula we used has not been verified in basic experiments, more data are needed to validate our results. (C) 2020 American Brachytherapy Society. Published by Elsevier Inc.
