Radiotherapeutic options for symptom control in breast cancer (2011)
van Oorschot, Birgitt ; Beckmann, Gabriele ; Schulze, Wolfgang ; Rades, Dirk ; Feyer, Petra
The majority of breast cancer patients will require radiation therapy at some time during the course of their disease. An estimated 30–50% of all radiation treatments are of palliative nature, either to alleviate symptoms or prophylactic to prevent deterioration of quality of life due to locally progressive disease. Radiotherapy is a locally effective tool, and typically causes no systemic and mostly mild acute side effects. The following article provides an overview of options and decision-making in palliative radiotherapy for symptom control.
Accelerated hyper-versus normofractionated radiochemotherapy with temozolomide in patients with glioblastoma: a multicenter retrospective analysis (2022)
Klement, Rainer J. ; Popp, Ilinca ; Kaul, David ; Ehret, Felix ; Grosu, Anca L. ; Polat, Bülent ; Sweeney, Reinhart A. ; Lewitzki, Victor
Background and Purpose The standard treatment of glioblastoma patients consists of surgery followed by normofractionated radiotherapy (NFRT) with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide chemotherapy. Whether accelerated hyperfractionated radiotherapy (HFRT) yields comparable results to NFRT in combination with temozolomide has only sparsely been investigated. The objective of this study was to compare NFRT with HFRT in a multicenter analysis. Materials and Methods A total of 484 glioblastoma patients from four centers were retrospectively pooled and analyzed. Three-hundred-ten and 174 patients had been treated with NFRT (30 × 1.8 Gy or 30 × 2 Gy) and HFRT (37 × 1.6 Gy or 30 × 1.8 Gy twice/day), respectively. The primary outcome of interest was overall survival (OS) which was correlated with patient-, tumor- and treatment-related variables via univariable and multivariable Cox frailty models. For multivariable modeling, missing covariates were imputed using multiple imputation by chained equations, and a sensitivity analysis was performed on the complete-cases-only dataset. Results After a median follow-up of 15.7 months (range 0.8-88.6 months), median OS was 16.9 months (15.0-18.7 months) in the NFRT group and 14.9 months (13.2-17.3 months) in the HFRT group (p = 0.26). In multivariable frailty regression, better performance status, gross-total versus not gross-total resection, MGMT hypermethylation, IDH mutation, smaller planning target volume and salvage therapy were significantly associated with longer OS (all p < 0.01). Treatment differences (HFRT versus NFRT) had no significant effect on OS in either univariable or multivariable analysis. Conclusions Since HFRT with temozolomide was not associated with worse OS, we assume HFRT to be a potential option for patients wishing to shorten their treatment time.
Yoga therapy to reduce fatigue in cancer: effects of reminder e-mails and long-term efficacy (2021)
Zetzl, Teresa ; Pittig, Andre ; Renner, Agnes ; van Oorschott, Birgitt ; Jentschke, Elisabeth
Objective To examine the efficacy of reminder e-mails to continue yoga therapy on practice frequency and fatigue in cancer patients and long-term effects of yoga on fatigue, depression, and quality of life. Methology One hundred two cancer patients who completed an 8-week yoga therapy were randomly allocated to two groups: reminder (N = 51) vs. no-reminder group (N = 51). After completing yoga therapy, the reminder group received weekly e-mails for 24 weeks, which reminded them of practicing yoga, whereas the no-reminder group did not. Primary outcomes were fatigue and practice frequency, and long-term outcomes were fatigue, depression, and quality of life. Data were assessed using questionnaires after yoga therapy (T1) and 6 months after completing yoga therapy (T2). Result A significantly stronger reduction of general (p = 0.038, d = 0.42) and emotional fatigue (p = 0.004, d = 0.59) and a higher increase of practice frequency (p = 0.015, d = 0.52) between T1 and T2 were found for the reminder group compared to the no-reminder group. In the mediation model, practice frequency as a mediator partially explained the changes in emotional fatigue (indirect effect B =  - 0.10). Long-term effects of yoga therapy regarding fatigue, depression, and quality of life were found (F > 7.46, p < 0.001, d > 0.54). Conclusion Weekly reminder e-mails after yoga therapy can positively affect general and emotional fatigue and help cancer patients with fatigue establish a regular yoga practice at home. However, higher practice frequency did not lead to higher physical or cognitive fatigue improvement, suggesting other factors that mediate efficacy on physical or cognitive fatigue, such as mindfulness or side effects of therapy.
Superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (VSOPs) show genotoxic effects but no functional impact on human adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs) (2021)

Adipose tissue-derived stromal cells (ASCs) represent a capable source for cell-based therapeutic approaches. For monitoring a cell-based application in vivo, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cells labeled with iron oxide particles is a common method. It is the aim of the present study to analyze potential DNA damage, cytotoxicity and impairment of functional properties of human (h)ASCs after labeling with citrate-coated very small superparamagnetic iron oxide particles (VSOPs). Cytotoxic as well as genotoxic effects of the labeling procedure were measured in labeled and unlabeled hASCs using the MTT assay, comet assay and chromosomal aberration test. Trilineage differentiation was performed to evaluate an impairment of the differentiation potential due to the particles. Proliferation as well as migration capability were analyzed after the labeling procedure. Furthermore, the labeling of the hASCs was confirmed by Prussian blue staining, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution MRI. Below the concentration of 0.6 mM, which was used for the procedure, no evidence of genotoxic effects was found. At 0.6 mM, 1 mM as well as 1.5 mM, an increase in the number of chromosomal aberrations was determined. Cytotoxic effects were not observed at any concentration. Proliferation, migration capability and differentiation potential were also not affected by the procedure. Labeling with VSOPs is a useful labeling method for hASCs that does not affect their proliferation, migration and differentiation potential. Despite the absence of cytotoxicity, however, indications of genotoxic effects have been demonstrated.
Adjuvante Intensitätsmodulierte Radio-/ Radiochemotherapie maligner Tumoren im HNO-Bereich : Eine retrospektive monozentrische Analyse zu Akut- und Spät-Toxizitäten, der lokalen Kontrolle und des Überlebens, April 2007 bis Juli 2016 (2022)
Mechtold, Ulrike
Hintergrund: Etwa 75% der Patienten mit malignen Tumoren im Kopf-Hals-Bereich unterziehen sich im Verlauf ihrer Behandlung einer Strahlentherapie. Zwei Drittel befanden sich bei Erstdiagnose bereits im lokal fortgeschrittenem Stadium. Eine Weiterentwicklung der Bestrahlungstechniken zielt einerseits auf eine Verbesserung der Tumorkontrolle andererseits auf eine Präzisierung der Strahlenapplikation zur Minimierung von Akut- und Spätrektionen. Methode: In dieser Arbeit wurde ein Patientenklientel (118 Patienten (39 Frauen/79 Männer) untersucht, bei welchem aufgrund eines malignen Tumors im Kopf-Hals-Bereich eine kurative adjuvante intensitätsmodulierte Radiotherapie (IMRT) durchgeführt wurde (zweistufig 60/66Gy). 46,6 % der Patienten mit Tumoren im UICC-Stadium III und IV erhielten risikoadaptiert eine simultane Chemotherapie. Das Follow-Up der Dokumentation der Nebenwirkungen lag median bei 16 Monaten. Die minimale Nachbeobachtungszeit des Überlebens betrug 60 Monate. Ergebnisse: Das 3-Jahres- bzw. 5-Jahres-Gesamtüberleben des betrachteten Patientenkollektivs betrug 69,4 % bzw. 53,4 %. Bei 16 Patienten (13,9 %) wurden Fernmetastasen diagnostiziert. 17 Patienten (14,7 %) entwickelten ein lokales Tumorrezidiv. Die lokoregionäre Tumorkontrolle betrug 84,3 % nach 3 Jahren und 82,9 % nach 5 Jahren. Als stärkster Prognosefaktor erwies sich das prätherapeutische Gesamttumorvolumen von > 22ml. Die am häufigsten beobachtete höhergradige Frühtoxizität war die orale Mukositis Grad 3, die radiogene Dysphagie Grad 3 sowie Xerostomie Grad 3. Zum Zeitpunkt der Erfassung der Spätnebenwirkungen wurde bei 2,8 % (alleinige RT) bzw. bei 4,2 % (RCHT) der Patienten eine Xerostomie Grad-3 beobachtet. 5,4 % (RT) bzw. 12,5 % (RCHT) gaben eine Dysphagie Grad 3 an, 8,1 % (RT) bzw. 12,5 % (RCHT) beklagten noch Störungen der Nahrungsaufnahme Grad 3. 2,8 % (RT) bzw. 16,7 % (RCHT) boten eine Heiserkeit Grad 3. Schlussfolgerung: Die vorliegende Arbeit hat ein Patientenkollektiv untersucht, bei dem im Vergleich zu einer historischen Kohorte die Gesamtdosis im unmittelbaren Tumorbett angehoben wurde, bei gleichzeitiger Schonung der Umgebung durch die Technik der Intensitätsmodulierten Strahlentherapie (IMRT). Dies wirkte sich positiv in der Verträglichkeit aus. Bei aller Schwierigkeit von Kohortenvergleichen war festzustellen, dass eine moderate Verbesserung der Therapieresultate erreicht wurde und dass insbesondere historisch bekannte Risikofaktoren für Lokalrezidive (R-Status, Perinodale Invasion, Hämangiose) mit diesem Behandlungskonzept ihre Bedeutung zu verlieren scheinen.

Beurteilung der Prädiktivität eines automatisierten Palliativscreenings bei uro-onkologischen Patienten (2022)
Kielkopf, Julian Alexander
Um Patienten mit Palliativbedarf proaktiv zu identifizieren wurde am Universitätsklinikum Würzburg am 01.03.2019 ein Palliativscreening auf Basis der Pflegeanamnese etabliert. Dessen Prädiktivität auf das 6-Monats Überleben wurde in der vorliegenden Arbeit in einer uro-onkologischen Patientenkohorte untersucht. Für die Patientenkohorte wurden aus dem klinischen Informationssystem aufenthalts-, personen- und tumorspezifische Daten sowie das Palliativscreening aus der Pflegeanamnese ausgelesen. Ergänzend zur Auswertung des automatisiert generierten Palliativscreenings wurden die Einzelitems rechnerisch in einem berechneten Palliativscreening zusammengeführt um eine Zuverlässigkeitsprüfung des automatisiert generierten Palliativscreenings zu ermöglichen. In einer zweiten Auswertung wurde geprüft, ob der Patient im 6-Monats Nachbeobachtungszeitraum nach Aufnahme verstorben ist. Unsere Studie belegt die Prädiktivität des Palliativscreenings in einer uro-onkologischen Kohorte für das 6-Monats Überleben. Ein automatisiert generiertes Screening, ist in unserer Studie vergleichbar prädiktiv auf das 6-Monats Überleben als eine manuelle rechnerische Rekonstruktion. Bei Patienten mit Prostatakarzinom weist das Palliativscreening eine niedrigere Korrelation mit dem 6-Monats Überleben auf als bei Patienten mit anderen urologischen Entitäten.

Background: Radiotherapy is routinely used to combat glioblastoma (GBM). However, the treatment efficacy is often limited by the radioresistance of GBM cells. Methods: Two GBM lines MO59K and MO59J, differing in intrinsic radiosensitivity and mutational status of DNA-PK and ATM, were analyzed regarding their response to DNA-PK/PI3K/mTOR inhibition by PI-103 in combination with radiation. To this end we assessed colony-forming ability, induction and repair of DNA damage by gamma H2AX and 53BP1, expression of marker proteins, including those belonging to NHEJ and HR repair pathways, degree of apoptosis, autophagy, and cell cycle alterations. Results: We found that PI-103 radiosensitized MO59K cells but, surprisingly, it induced radiation resistance in MO59J cells. Treatment of MO59K cells with PI-103 lead to protraction of the DNA damage repair as compared to drug-free irradiated cells. In PI-103-treated and irradiated MO59J cells the foci numbers of both proteins was higher than in the drug-free samples, but a large portion of DNA damage was quickly repaired. Another cell line-specific difference includes diminished expression of p53 in MO59J cells, which was further reduced by PI-103. Additionally, PI-103-treated MO59K cells exhibited an increased expression of the apoptosis marker cleaved PARP and increased subG1 fraction. Moreover, irradiation induced a strong G2 arrest in MO59J cells (similar to 80% vs. similar to 50% in MO59K), which was, however, partially reduced in the presence of PI-103. In contrast, treatment with PI-103 increased the G2 fraction in irradiated MO59K cells. Conclusions: The triple-target inhibitor PI-103 exerted radiosensitization on MO59K cells, but, unexpectedly, caused radioresistance in the MO59J line, lacking DNA-PK. The difference is most likely due to low expression of the DNA-PK substrate p53 in MO59J cells, which was further reduced by PI-103. This led to less apoptosis as compared to drug-free MO59J cells and enhanced survival via partially abolished cell-cycle arrest. The findings suggest that the lack of DNA-PK-dependent NHEJ in MO59J line might be compensated by DNA-PK independent DSB repair via a yet unknown mechanism.

Background To implement a tangential treatment technique for whole breast irradiation using the Varian Halcyon and to compare it with Elekta Synergy Agility plans. Methods For 20 patients two comparable treatment plans with respect to dose coverage and normal tissue sparing were generated. Tangential field-in-field treatment plans (Pinnacle/Synergy) were replanned using the sliding window technique (Eclipse/Halcyon). Plan specific QA was performed using the portal Dosimetry and the ArcCHECK phantom. Imaging and treatment dose were evaluated for treatment delivery on both systems using a modified CIRS Phantom. Results The mean number of monitor units for a fraction dose of 2.67 Gy was 515 MUs and 260 MUs for Halcyon and Synergy Agility plans, respectively. The homogeneity index and dose coverage were similar for both treatment units. The plan specific QA showed good agreement between measured and calculated plans. All Halcyon plans passed portal dosimetry QA (3%/2 mm) with 100% points passing and ArcCheck QA (3%/2 mm) with 99.5%. Measurement of the cumulated treatment and imaging dose with the CIRS phantom resulted in lower dose to the contralateral breast for the Halcyon plans. Conclusions For the Varian Halcyon a plan quality similar to the Elekta Synergy device was achieved. For the Halcyon plans the dose contribution from the treatment fields to the contralateral breast was even lower due to less interleaf transmission of the Halcyon MLC and a lower contribution of scattered dose from the collimator system.

Background Evaluation of delivered dose to the dominant intraprostatic lesion (DIL) for moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy of prostate cancer by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based dose accumulation and target coverage analysis. Methods Twenty-three patients with localized prostate cancer treated with moderately hypofractionated prostate radiotherapy with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) between December 2016 and February 2020 were retrospectively analyzed. Included patients were required to have an identifiable DIL on bi-parametric planning magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). After import into the RayStation treatment planning system and application of a step-wise density override, the fractional doses were computed on each CBCT and were consecutively mapped onto the planning CT via a deformation vector field derived from deformable image registration. Fractional doses were accumulated for all CBCTs and interpolated for missing CBCTs, resulting in the delivered dose for PTV\(_{DIL}\), PTV\(_{Boost}\), PTV, and the organs at risk. The location of the index lesions was recorded according to the sector map of the Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) Version 2.1. Target coverage of the index lesions was evaluated and stratified for location. Results In total, 338 CBCTs were available for analysis. Dose accumulation target coverage of PTV\(_{DIL}\), PTV\(_{Boost}\), and PTV was excellent and no cases of underdosage in D\(_{Mean}\), D_95%, D_02%, and D_98% could be detected. Delivered rectum D\(_{Mean}\) did not significantly differ from the planned dose. Bladder mean DMean was higher than planned with 19.4 ± 7.4 Gy versus 18.8 ± 7.5 Gy, p < 0.001. The penile bulb showed a decreased delivered mean DMean with 29.1 ± 14.0 Gy versus 29.8 ± 14.4 Gy, p < 0.001. Dorsal DILs, defined as DILs in the posterior medial peripheral zone of the prostate, showed a significantly lower delivered dose with a mean DMean difference of 2.2 Gy (95% CI 1.3–3.1 Gy, p < 0.001) compared to ventral lesions. Conclusions CBCT-based dose accumulation showed an adequate delivered dose to the dominant intraprostatic lesion and organs at risk within planning limits. Cautious evaluation of the target coverage for index lesions adjacent to the rectum is warranted to avoid underdosage.
