    BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Therapeutic strategy for prostate cancer is decided according to T stage, Gleason score, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level. These clinical factors are not accurate enough to predict individual risk of local failure of prostate cancer after radiotherapy. Parameters involved with radiosensitivity are required to improve the predictive capability for local relapse. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We analyzed 58 patients with localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate between August 2007 and October 2010 treated with 76 Gy of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) as a discovery cohort and 42 patients between March 2001 and May 2007 treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) as a validation cohort. Immunohistochemical examination for proteins involved in nonhomologous end-joining was performed using biopsy specimens. RESULTS: Ku70 expression was not correlated with various clinical parameters, such as the Gleason score and D'amico risk classification, indicating that Ku70 expression was an independent prognostic factor. The predictive value for PSA relapse was markedly improved after the combination of Gleason score and Ku70 expression, as compared with Gleason score alone. In patients treated with radiotherapy and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), no relapses were observed in patients with Gleason score ≤7 or low Ku70 expression. In contrast, patients with Gleason score ≥8 and high Ku70 expression had high PSA relapse rates. In the validation cohort, similar results were obtained. CONCLUSION: Treatment with 76 Gy and ADT can be effective for patients with Gleason score ≤7 or low Ku70 expression, but is not enough for patients with Gleason score ≥8 and high Ku70 expression and, thus, require other treatment approaches.

    The PACIFIC regimen, comprising chemoradiotherapy (CRT) followed by maintenance with the immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) durvalumab, has become the standard of care for patients with unresectable non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Although ICI is used to prevent recurrence by targeting residual microtumors, biomarkers capable of monitoring immune activity during this phase remain lacking. Here, we evaluated whether temporal changes in serum autoantibody levels can predict treatment efficacy. This retrospective study included 20 patients with unresectable stage II or III NSCLC who received the PACIFIC regimen. Serum autoantibodies against 130 antigens were quantified before CRT, after CRT, and two weeks after the first ICI dose. The primary outcome was progression-free survival (PFS), and its association with autoantibody dynamics was examined. We observed an immediate and strong autoantibody response (spark response [SR]) after ICI initiation in patients with favorable treatment outcomes. Patients with SR and programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression ≥ 50% showed better PFS (two-year PFS; 72.9% vs. 18.2%, p = 0.0021). These findings suggest that serial monitoring of serum autoantibodies can provide a noninvasive approach to assess immune activity and predict treatment outcomes in patients receiving CRT or ICI therapy.

    BACKGROUND/AIM: Radiotherapy (RT) for advanced oropharyngeal cancer (OPC) is effective, especially when combined with chemotherapy (CRT). However, its success can vary depending on factors, such as tumor stage, HPV infection (p16 status), and the patient's nutritional and immune status. This study examined the controlling nutritional status (CONUT) score and tumor immunity as predictive factors for treatment outcomes in OPC, aiming to develop a personalized risk score. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 84 patients with OPC treated with definitive RT or CRT, and survival outcomes were compared based on various factors, including BMI, CONUT score, CD8 expression, and HLA class II expression. RESULTS: We observed better overall survival (OS) rates in CD8-positive patients and those with higher HLA class II expression. The univariate analysis identified stage, p16 status, BMI, CONUT score, and CD8 expression as significantly associated with OS. In multivariate analysis, stage, BMI, and CONUT score remained significant predictors of OS. A risk scoring system was developed based on stage, p16 status, BMI, CONUT score, and CD8 expression. Patients were categorized into low-risk and high-risk groups, with significantly better survival in the low-risk group. CONCLUSION: A combined risk score incorporating clinical, nutritional, and immune factors can improve the prediction of treatment outcomes for OPC patients. This risk stratification may enable personalized treatment plans and improve ΟS rates.

    BACKGROUND/AIM: Automated measurement of immunostained samples can enable more convenient and objective prediction of treatment outcome from radiotherapy. We aimed to validate the performance of the QuPath image analysis software in immune cell markers detection by comparing QuPath cell counting results with those of physician manual cell counting. PATIENTS AND METHODS: CD8- and FoxP3-stained cervical, CD8-stained oropharyngeal, and Ku70-stained prostate cancer tumor sections were analyzed in 104 cervical, 92 oropharyngeal, and 58 prostate cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy at our Institution. RESULTS: QuPath and manual counts were highly correlated. When divided into two groups using ROC curves, the agreement between QuPath and manual counts was 89.4% for CD8 and 88.5% for FoxP3 in cervical cancer, 87.0% for CD8 in oropharyngeal cancer and 80.7% for Ku70 in prostate cancer. In cervical cancer, the high CD8 group based on QuPath counts had a better prognosis and the low CD8 group had a significantly worse prognosis [p=0.0003; 5-year overall survival (OS), 65.9% vs. 34.7%]. QuPath counts were more predictive than manual counts. Similar results were observed for FoxP3 in cervical cancer (p=0.002; 5-year OS, 62.1% vs. 33.6%) and CD8 in oropharyngeal cancer (p=0.013; 5-year OS, 80.2% vs. 47.2%). In prostate cancer, high Ku70 group had worse and low group significantly better outcome [p=0.007; 10-year progression-free survival (PFS), 56.0% vs. 93.8%]. CONCLUSION: QuPath showed a strong correlation with manual counting, confirming its utility and accuracy and potential applicability in clinical practice.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate proteins related to tumor immune response and treatment outcome from radiotherapy for uterine cervical cancer patients. METHODS: We performed a retrospective immunohistochemical staining of 81 patients with uterine cervical cancer who underwent definitive radiotherapy. We examined the expression of programmed death ligand 1, human leukocyte antigen class I, tumor-infiltrating CD8+, and forkhead box P3+ (FoxP3+) T cells in tumor tissues. RESULTS: In biopsy specimen, patients with a higher number of CD8+ T cells and FoxP3+ T cells had a better disease-specific survival than patients with a lower number of CD8+ T cells and FoxP3+ cells (P = 0.018 and P = 0.009). Multivariate analysis showed that equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2) of the minimum dose to 90% of the high-risk clinical target volume, FoxP3+ T cells and expression of human leukocyte antigen class I were significant prognostic factors. When the EQD2 is 70 Gy or more, a higher local control rate is obtained regardless of the number of CD8- or FoxP3-positive cells. When EQD2 is <70 Gy, the number of CD8-positive cells has a significant impact on treatment outcome: the recurrence rate (local recurrence rate + distant metastasis rate) was 46.2% in the group with a CD8 value of 230 or higher, whereas the recurrence rate was 75.7% in the group with a CD8 value of less than 230. CONCLUSION: The combination of CD8 or FoxP3 with EQD2 can be potentially useful to predict the treatment results of radiotherapy for cervical cancer, leading to individualized optimal selection of treatment for cervical cancer.

    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.

    Combining external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) with intracavitary brachytherapy (ICBT) is important for definitive treatment of cervical cancer. In cervical cancer patients receiving radiotherapy, we evaluated treatment outcomes in relation to dose-volume histogram parameters, including the computed tomography (CT)-based high-risk clinical target volume (HR-CTV) for ICBT. Between 2010 and 2015, 89 consecutive cervical cancer patients were mostly treated with 40 Gy of EBRT in 20 fractions and 18 Gy of ICBT prescribed to point A in 3 fractions. CT scans were obtained during ICBT. The HR-CTV D90 was calculated and the total doses of ICBT and EBRT were converted to the equivalent dose in 2 Gy fractions (EQD2). When the patients were divided into four groups according to EQD2 of the HR-CTV D90, the 3-year local recurrence-free survival rates were 95.2, 78.4, 52.7 and 42.9% for patients receiving >80 , 70-80 , 60-70 and <60 Gy, respectively. There was a significant negative correlation between EQD2 of the HR-CTV D90 and the HR-CTV volume at first ICBT (r = -0.713). Local recurrence was more frequent when the HR-CTV volume was ≥22 cc and EQD2 of the HR-CTV D90 was <70 Gy. Multivariate analysis showed that EQD2 of the HR-CTV D90 and concurrent chemotherapy (≥4 cycles) were significant determinants of overall survival. HR-CTV D90 was an important prognostic indicator for local recurrence. HR-CTV D90 >70 Gy is required for the better local control, especially in patients with a larger HR-CTV (≥22 cc at initial ICBT).

    BACKGROUND: We examined the expression of nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) proteins by breast cancer cells in patients with or without ipsilateral breast tumor recurrence (IBTR) after breast-conserving therapy. We also investigated whether there was a difference of NHEJ-related protein expression by tumor cells between two types of IBTR, i.e., true recurrence (TR) with regrowth from the tumor bed or development of a new primary tumor (NP). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The original cohort comprised 560 breast cancer patients who received breast-conserving therapy between February 1995 and March 2006, including 520 patients without IBTR and 40 patients with IBTR. Propensity score matching was employed to select 40 trios (120 patients) consisting of 1 patient with IBTR and 2 patients without IBTR. Immunohistochemical examination of proteins related to NHEJ was performed in surgical specimens. RESULTS: The 40 patients with IBTR included 22 patients who developed TR and 18 who had NP. The 15-year overall survival rate was 85.9% for patients with NP and 95.5% for those with TR, while it was 96.5% for patients without IBTR. Patients with high XRCC4 expression in tumor cells had significantly higher IBTR rates than those with low XRCC4 expression (P < 0.001). The frequency of TR was significantly higher in patients with high expression of XRCC4 than in those with low XRCC4 expression (p < 0.001). XRCC4 expression by tumor cells was not significantly related to development of NP. CONCLUSION: IBTR due to TR may be related to low radiosensitivity of tumor cells, possibly related to high XRCC4 expression.

    BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: To investigate influences of proteins involved with tumor immunity on outcomes of radiotherapy for oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC). MATERIAL AND METHODS: We performed immunohistochemical staining to examine expressions of p16 and proteins involved with tumor immunity in 92 OPSCC patients treated with radiotherapy. RESULTS: Patients with abundant infiltrating CD8-positive cells had the significantly better overall survival (OS) rate than patients with fewer CD8-positive cells (p = 0.026). Patients with higher PD-L1 expression in tumor cells (TC 1-3) had a better outcome than those with low PD-L1 expression in tumor cells (TC 0) for both OS (p = 0.019) and progression-free survival (PFS) rate (p = 0.032). Patients with high PD-L1 expression in infiltrating immune cells (IC 3) showed significantly better OS (p = 0.009) and PFS (p = 0.011) than those with low PD-L1 expression (IC 0-2). Patients with p16-negative and IC 3 showed similar OS to patients with p16-positive and IC 0-2. P16-positive tumors had a significantly higher CD8-positive cell infiltration and PD-L1 expression in tumor cells than p16-negative tumors. CONCLUSIONS: In addition to tumor p16 expression, PD-L1 expression in TC and IC can be useful for predicting the response of OPSCC to radiotherapy.

    Background: To search for novel biomarkers that can predict acute radiation toxicity, we conducted microRNA expression analysis of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs). Methods: The discovery cohort was 69 patients with localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate who received intensity-modulated radiation therapy between October 2007 and October 2010. The validation cohort was 72 patients treated with low-dose-rate brachytherapy between May 2008 and March 2014. After13 microRNAs were selected by TaqMan® Array analysis in a preliminary experiment, expression of these microRNAs in all samples was analyzed by RT-PCR. Results: In the discovery cohort, the average prostate volume, the rectal volume receiving 70 Gy, and expression of miR-410 and miR-221 were significant risk factors for Grade 1-2 gastrointestinal toxicity. Receiver operating characteristic analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) was 0.807. The maximum dose to the urinary bladder, prostate volume, pretreatment urinary function score, and miR-99a and miR-221 expression were risk factors for Grade 2 genitourinary toxicity. The corresponding AUC was 0.796. In the validation cohort, reproducibility of these markers was confirmed for gastrointestinal toxicity, but not for genitourinary toxicity. Conclusion: Combining radiation dose parameters with microRNA expression in PBLs may be useful for predicting acute gastrointestinal toxicity of radiation therapy, thus contributing to personalized treatment of prostate cancer.

    Repair of DNA damage is critical for genomic stability, and DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) has an important role in repairing double-strand breaks. We examined whether the DNA-PK activity of peripheral blood lymphocytes (PBLs) was related to biochemical (prostate-specific antigen: PSA) relapse and radiation toxicity in prostate cancer patients who have received radiotherapy. A total of 69 patients with localized adenocarcinoma of the prostate participated in this study. Peripheral blood was collected 2 years or later after radiotherapy and centrifuged, then DNA-PK activity was measured by a filter binding assay. The high DNA-PK activity group had a significantly higher PSA relapse-free survival rate than the low DNA-PK activity group. The 10-year PSA relapse-free survival was 87.0% in the high DNA-PK activity group, whereas it was 52.7% in the low DNA-PK activity group. Multivariate analysis showed the Gleason score and the level of DNA-PK activity were significant predictors of PSA relapse after radiotherapy. In addition, the low DNA-PK activity group tended to have a higher incidence of Grade 1-2 urinary toxicity than the high DNA-PK activity group. Prostate cancer patients with low DNA-PK activity had a higher rate of PSA relapse and a higher incidence of urinary toxicity. DNA-PK activity in PBLs might be a useful marker for predicting PSA relapse and urinary toxicity, possibly contributing to personalized treatment of prostate cancer.

    DNA double-strand break (DSB) is one of the most serious forms of damage induced by ionizing irradiation and is mainly repaired by the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) repair. Immunohistochemical analysis of proteins involved in NHEJ, such as XRCC4 (X-ray repair cross-complementing protein 4), Ku86 and DNA-PKcs (DNA-dependent protein kinase, catalytic subunits), may be useful for predicting tumor radiosensitivity. We examined 92 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ECSS) who were treated by radiotherapy between 1999 and 2008. Immunohistochemical examination of tumor tissue for Ki-67 and DSB-related proteins, including XRCC4, Ku86, and DNA-PKcs, was performed using pretreatment biopsy specimens. Low expression of XRCC4 was detected in 31 of 92 examined samples (33.7 %). The 5-year overall survival (OS) rate was 67.7 % in the low expression group and 31.0 % in the high expression group (P = 0.00). Multivariate analysis confirmed that advanced T-stage (HR 3.24, P = 0.01), radiation dose less than 66 Gy (HR 2.23, P = 0.02), absence of systemic chemotherapy (HR 2.59, P = 0.05), and high expression of XRCC4 (HR 12.0, P = 0.02) were independent prognostic factors for predicting poor OS. Other DSB-related proteins and Ki-67 were not predictive factors. XRCC4 expression might have an influence on results of radiotherapy for patients with ESCC.

    The objective is to create a prediction model of tumor immune activation by radiotherapy using machine learning methods with high accuracy and easy clinical application. As a preliminary step, a radiotherapy effect prediction model was created by immunohistochemistry using biopsy specimens. Both prostate and hypopharyngeal cancers showed improved prediction accuracy in the analysis using ANN compared to the conventional method.
    In addition, using samples of cervical cancer, we used QuPath software to classify and quantify the immunohistochemistry staining decisions, and verified that there was no significant difference compared to the results of manual counting. In the future, we will perform the same analysis on samples of mesopharyngeal carcinoma, aiming for objective evaluation and automation of the determination method of immunohistochemical staining.

    Using biopsy and surgical specimens of breast and cervical cancers, we analyzed the correlation between various protein expressions and radiotherapy outcomes. Radiotherapy of cervical cancer increased the expression of PD-L1 in tumor cells, and there was a strong correlation between the expression of PD-L1 in tumor cells after radiotherapy and overall survival. This suggests that irradiation-induced immunological changes may affect the radiotherapy effect. In patients with early-stage breast cancer treated with postoperative radiotherapy, XRCC4 expression rates in tumor cells were significantly correlated with intra-breast recurrence. By type of recurrence, there was a correlation with XRCC4 expression in True recurrence. True recurrence may be due to the low radiosensitivity of tumor cells.

    We examined the application of an artificial neural network (ANN) model to predict the outcome of radiation therapy using immunohistochemical staining and clinical factors of Ku70 for prostate and hypopharyngeal cancer. Age, Gleason score, biopsy positive rate, pre-treatment PSA value, risk classification, prostate volume were used as clinical factors in analysis of prostate cancer. Similarly, in hypopharyngeal cancer, age, gender, performance status, clinical T staging and subsite were used as clinical factors.
    The treatment result prediction by ANN was a result that the sensitivity, the specificity, and the area under curve (AUC) of the ROC curve based on the prediction result were all superior in prediction ability as compared with the conventional method.

    To predict individual treatment effects and acute toxicity of patients who underwent pelvic radiation therapy, blood lymphocytes were collected from 141 patients who underwent definitive radiation therapy for non metastatic prostate cancer at our hospital, we measured the DNA-dependent protein kinase (DNA-PK) activity, which is considered to be involved in DNA damage repair, and the expression analysis of microRNA-410, 221 and 99a. As a result, we showed that the DNA-PK activity of lymphocytes was a significant predictor of biochemical relapse in prostate cancer patients and that a combination of miRNA-410 and 221 predicted acute gastrointestinal toxicities with higher accuracy than conventional dose-volume histogram analysis.

    We investigated the relationship between the expression of proteins involved with NHEJ and results of radiotherapy for prostate cancers. One hundred patients were treated with radiotherapy between March 2001 and October 2010. Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens from pretreatment needle biopsy were assessed for Ku70, Ku86 and XRCC4. The number of cells that stained positive for Ku70, Ku86 and XRCC4 were determined the percentages of cells that were positive for the expression of Ku70, Ku86 and XRCC4. Of the 100 patients, 23 experienced biochemical failure. On univariate analysis, irradiation method, radiation dose and the expression of Ku70 had the significance for biochemical failure. On multivariate analysis, irradiation method, gleason score and the expression of Ku70 were significant independent prognostic factors for biochemical recurrence. The higher expression of Ku70 indicated the significantly deteriorated PSA relapse in radiotherapy of prostate cancer.
