    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).

    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 postimplant dose-volume histograms of 182 patients. We then calculated various urethral biologically equivalent doses (uBEDs) using different values of the α/β 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 ≥2 GU toxicity and uBED when the α/β value was 0.5 or 1 Gy and t1/2 was 0.5-2.5 h. An uBED (α/β = 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 α/β 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.

    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.

    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.

    In order to realize "personalized radiotherapy", we used a technique called "liquid biopsy" to examine the nucleic acids and proteins of tumor-derived exosomes in plasma, and applied it to the prediction of radiosensitivity of cancer. Blood samples were collected from a total of 150 patients with cervical, rectal, anal and pancreatic cancers treated with abdominal to pelvic radiotherapy, and plasma and lymphocyte samples were isolated. DNA-PK activity of lymphocytes and radiation-induced gamma H2AX focus was measured, and exosomal microRNA expression analysis in plasma was performed. Based on the results of the treatment outcome and adverse event surveys for each cancer and the results of lymphocyte DNA-PK activity and radiation-induced gamma-H2AX focus measurements, we showed that exosomal microRNAs in plasma are useful for predicting the effects of radiotherapy and that lymphocyte DNA-PK activity may be useful for predicting late adverse events after radiotherapy.

    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.
