(Summary) No clinically relevant biomarker has been identified for predicting the response of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) to chemoradiotherapy (CRT). Herein, we established a CT-based radiomics model with artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the response and prognosis of CRT in ESCC. A total of 44 ESCC patients (stage I-IV) were enrolled in this study; training (n = 27) and validation (n = 17) cohorts. First, we extracted a total of 476 radiomics features from three-dimensional CT images of cancer lesions in training cohort, selected 110 features associated with the CRT response by ROC analysis (AUC ≥ 0.7) and identified 12 independent features, excluding correlated features by Pearson's correlation analysis (r ≥ 0.7). Based on the 12 features, we constructed 5 prediction models of different machine learning algorithms (Random Forest (RF), Ridge Regression, Naive Bayes, Support Vector Machine, and Artificial Neural Network models). Among those, the RF model showed the highest AUC in the training cohort (0.99 [95%CI 0.86-1.00]) as well as in the validation cohort (0.92 [95%CI 0.71-0.99]) to predict the CRT response. Additionally, Kaplan-Meyer analysis of the validation cohort and all the patient data showed significantly longer progression-free and overall survival in the high-prediction score group compared with the low-prediction score group in the RF model. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that the radiomics prediction score and lymph node metastasis were independent prognostic biomarkers for CRT of ESCC. In conclusion, we have developed a CT-based radiomics model using AI, which may have the potential to predict the CRT response as well as the prognosis for ESCC patients with non-invasiveness and cost-effectiveness.

(Summary) To identify and raise awareness of the radiation exposure of urologists due to X-ray fluoroscopic procedures in daily practice. This was a single-center, cohort study of 30 consecutive patients who underwent periodic percutaneous or transurethral replacements of urinary tract catheters. A total of 55 replacements every 3 months with cases aligned were performed by a single urologist. The urologist's radiation exposure and the incident dose to patients per case were measured with thermoluminescent dosimeters. In the latter 3-month period, the pulse fluoroscopy condition was changed from 15 to 7.5 pulses per second, and collimation was added to the field of view. In the analysis of all patients, the use of a modified pulse rate and collimation did not affect the fluoroscopy time, but it did significantly reduce the air kerma and dose area product; in addition, with respect to the medical exposure dose during percutaneous catheter replacement, fluoroscopy time was longer, but air kerma and dose area product showed significant decreases. As with decreases in medical exposure of patients, the equivalent dose for eye lenses of the urologist decreased from 1.2 mSv in the first 3-month period to 0.2 mSv in the second 3-month period. Similarly, the exposure dose for the extremities also decreased significantly, from 33.9 mSv to 8.1 mSv. Urologists are exposed to non-negligible amounts of radiation due to fluoroscopy. Appropriate management such as modified pulse fluoroscopy condition and precautions are required.

(Summary) Human papillomavirus vaccination is not widespread in Japan, and the low screening rates result in many cases of locally advanced cervical cancer. We investigated the prognostic significance of sarcopenia in patients with cervical cancer to guide healthcare policies to improve treatment outcomes. This retrospective study included 83 patients with cervical cancer without distant metastasis who underwent primary concurrent chemoradiotherapy between 2013 and 2018. We analyzed the indicators of physical condition and muscle quantity using the SYNAPSE VINCENT software. Muscle mass and the relationship between treatment toxicity and prognosis were evaluated. The patients' median age was 60 (range 33-80) years. Cancer stage distribution was as follows: cT2b or higher, 84.3%; N1, 65.1%; and MA, 27.7%. The overall sarcopenia (skeletal muscle index [SMI] < 38.5) rate was 30.1%, and the rate was 33.9 and 22.2% in patients aged < 64 and ≥ 65 years, respectively. No correlation was observed between clinical stage and musculoskeletal indices. Treatment resulted in decreased body weight and SMI; after treatment, the sarcopenia rate increased to 37.3%. A higher intramuscular adipose tissue content (IMAC) reduced the number of chemotherapy cycles needed. Treatment-associated SMI decreases of ≥ 7% indicated poor prognosis, with significant differences in progression-free survival and overall survival (p = 0.013 and p = 0.012, respectively). Patients who were very lean (body mass index < 18.5 kg/m) before treatment had a poor prognosis (p = 0.016 and p < 0.001). Our findings emphasize the importance of assessing original nutritional status and maintaining muscle mass and quality during the treatment of patients with cervical cancer.

(Summary) Purpose: During treatment planning for head-and-neck volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), manual contouring of the metal artifact area of artificial teeth is done, and the area is replaced with water computed tomography (CT) values for dose calculation. This contouring of the metal artifact areas, which is performed manually, is subject to human variability. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and analyze the effect of inter-observer variation on dose distribution.Methods: The subjects were 25 cases of cancer of the oropharynx for which VMAT was performed. Six radiation oncologists (ROs) performed metal artifact contouring for all of the cases. Gross tumor volume, clinical target volume, planning target volume (PTV), and oral cavity were evaluated. The contouring of the six ROs was divided into two groups, small and large groups. A reference RO was determined for each group and the dose distribution was compared with those of the other radiation oncologists by gamma analysis (GA).As an additional experiment, we changed the contouring of each dental metal artifact area, creating enlarged contours (L), reduced contours (S), and undrawn contours (N) based on the contouring by the six ROs and compared these structure-sets.Results: The evaluation of inter-observer variation showed no significant difference between the large and small groups, and the GA pass rate was 100%. Similar results were obtained comparing structure-sets L and S, but in the comparison of structure-sets L and N, there were cases with pass rates below 70%.Conclusions: The results show that the artificial variability of manual artificial tooth metal artifact contouring has little effect on the dose distribution of VMAT. However, it should be noted that the dose distribution may change depending on the contouring method in cases where the overlap between PTV and metal artifact areas is large.

(Summary) Purpose To assess the treatment results of definitive radiotherapy for esophageal cancer at Tokushima University Hospital and clarify the prognostic factors. Methods Seventy consecutive patients with esophageal cancer who underwent definitive radiotherapy between May 2004 and March 2012 were included in the present study. Local control rate, overall survival rate, and radiation morbidity were examined and univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to investigate prognostic factors. Results The 5-yearoverall survival rates of stages I, II, III, and IVA were 81%, 71%, 0%, and 9%, respectively. Performance status, clinical stage, and neoadjuvant chemotherapy were significant prognostic factors. A past history of interstitial pneumonia was associated with severe radiation-induced lung injury. Conclusions Patients who underwent definitive chemoradiotherapy for esophageal cancer in stage I/II showed good prognosis. However, treatment results of the patients in stage III/IV were not satisfactory, and those who could not undergo surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy had the worst prognosis.J.Med.Invest.66:99-105, February, 2019.

(Summary) Volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) can be used to design hypofractionated radiotherapy treatment plans for multiple brain metastases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate treatment outcomes of hypofractionated image-guided multifocal irradiation using VMAT (HFIGMI-VMAT) for brain metastases. From July 2012 to December 2016, 67 consecutive patients with 601 brain metastases were treated with HFIGMI-VMAT at our institution. The prescribed dose was 50 Gy to a 95% volume of the planning target volume in 10 fractions. Fifty-five of the 67 patients had non-small-cell lung cancer, and the remaining 12 had other types of cancer. The median number of brain metastases was five, and the median maximum diameter was 1.2 cm. The median duration of follow-up was 12.0 months (range, 1.9-44.8 months), and the median survival time 18.7 months. Four patients with six lesions had local recurrences. The local control rate in the 64 assessed patients was 98.4% and 95.3% at 6 and 12 months, respectively (three died before assessment). The local control rate for the 572 assessed lesions was 99.8% and 99.3% at 6 and 12 months, respectively. Thirty-nine patients developed distant brain metastases, the distant brain control rate being 59.7% and 40.5% at 6 and 12 months, respectively. Acute toxicities were generally mild (Grade 1-2). Three patients (4.5%) developed radiation necrosis requiring corticosteroid therapy. The HFIGMI-VMAT technique with flat dose delivery was well tolerated and achieved excellent local control. This technique is a promising treatment option for patients with multiple and large brain metastases.

(Summary) We assessed the change in LUTS after prostate brachytherapy to reveal factors for prolonged urination disorder. Four hundred and four patients received prostate brachytherapy at our institution and were followed-up for at least 2 years. We evaluated the correlation of mean IPSS changes and clinical factors. Using multivariate analysis, we also evaluated clinical factors with potential to delay IPSS resolution. In cases with prostate volume more than 30 cm, radiation dose to 90% of prostate volume (D90) more than 160 Gy, and radiation dose to 30% of the urethral volume (UD30) more than 240 Gy, mean IPSS levels were significantly higher, even 30 months after treatment. On multivariate analysis, baseline IPSS more than 8 points and D90 more than 160 Gy were significant predictors for delayed IPSS resolution. Our data suggest that higher baseline IPSS and higher D90 were predictors for prolonged urination disorder.

(Summary) This multi-institutional retrospective analysis examined learning curves for dosimetric parameters and operation time after introduction of intraoperatively built custom-linked (IBCL) seeds. Data from consecutive patients treated with seed implantation before and after introduction of IBCL seeds (loose seed, n = 428; IBCL seed, n = 426) were collected from 13 centers. Dose-volume histogram parameters, operation times, and seed migration rates were compared before and after introduction of IBCL seeds. At the 1-month CT analysis, no significant differences were seen in dose to 90% of prostate volume between before and after IBCL seed introduction. No learning curve for dosimetry was seen. Prostate and rectal volume receiving at least 150% of prescription dose (V150 and RV150) were higher in the loose-seed group than in the IBCL-seed group. Operation time was extended by up to 10 min when IBCL seeds were used, although there was a short learning curve of about five patients. The percentage of patients with seed migration in the IBCL-seed group was one-tenth that in the loose-seed group. Our study revealed no dosimetric demerits, no learning curve for dosimetry, and a slightly extended operation time for IBCL seeds. A significant reduction in the rate of seed migration was identified in the IBCL-seed group.

(Summary) The aim of this study is to clarify the clinical significance of neoadjuvant combined androgen blockade (CAB) for ≥ 6 months in patients with localized prostate cancer. A total of 431 patients with localized prostate cancer who underwent prostate brachytherapy (BT) with or without neoadjuvant CAB for ≥ 6 months with mean follow-up time of 64.6 months (range 24-108 months) were evaluated retrospectively. Of those 431, 232 patients received BT in combination with neoadjuvant CAB for ≥ 6 months. Biochemical recurrence-free rates (BRFRs) in 364 patients with at least 3 years of follow-up were evaluated by log-rank test. BRFR in patients with low-, intermediate- and high-risk prostate cancer were 98.1, 94.2 and 89.1%, respectively. In patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer only, neoadjuvant CAB was significantly associated with BRFR (p = 0.0468). Especially in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer with radiation dose received by 90% of the prostate (D90) < 180 Gy, neoadjuvant CAB exerted a favorable impact on BRFR (p = 0.0429). On multivariate analyses, neoadjuvant CAB and D90 were independent predictors of BRFR (p = 0.0061 and p < 0.0001, respectively). Neoadjuvant CAB for ≥ 6 months has a favorable impact on BRFR in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer, particularly in patients with relatively low radiation doses of D90.

(Summary) The treatment period over which radiation therapy is administered extends over several weeks. Since tumor shrinkage in response to radiation therapy and weight loss due to radiation-induced mucositis may impact on the dose distribution in both target and organ at risk in patients with head and neck cancer, the anatomical changes of tumor and neck volumes during this period should be taken into consideration. We investigated the anatomical changes that occurred in the target and normal structure of the neck during radiation therapy for pharyngeal cancer, and evaluated the necessity of an adaptive strategy. Ten patients with pharyngeal cancer who underwent radical chemoradiation therapy using 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy RT (66-70 Gy in 33-35 fractions) between April 2009 and September 2010 were enrolled in the study. Patients underwent CT scans every week during their course of treatment. We analyzed the CT data in the radiation treatment planning system and measured changes of tumor, organ at risk, and neck volume. Gross tumor volume (GTV) was rapidly reduced by 28% of the original volume on average in the first 3 weeks. The right and left submandibular glands volume decreased to 70% and 63% of their initial volumes on average, respectively. The volume of the neck in the radiation fields decreased to 89% of its initial volume on average by the sixth week mainly caused by body weight loss due to acute radiation morbidity. Considerable anatomical change in the radiation filed that will affect dose distribution of the target and organ at risk was observed during radiation therapy for head and neck cancer.

This method was used to determine the presence or absence of changes over time in the lung field based on multi-detector-row CT (MDCT) data. Among patients diagnosed with pulmonary emphysema who underwent 16-MDCT (slice thickness, 1 mm) twice at an interval of 6 months or more, 12 patients without changes in the lung field and 14 with clear changes in the lung field were selected as subjects. An image interpretation experiment was performed by five image interpreters. Pulmonary emphysema was followed up using two types of thick slab MinIP (thick slab MinIP 1 and 2) and multi-planar reformation (MPR), and the results of image interpretation were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. In addition, the time required for image interpretation was compared among the three follow-up methods. The area under the ROC curve (Az) was 0.794 for thick slab MinIP 1, 0.778 for the thick slab MinIP 2, and 0.759 for MPR, showing no significant differences among the three methods. Individual differences in each item were significantly more marked for MPR than for thick slab MinIP. The time required for image interpretation was around 18 seconds for thick slab MinIP 1, 11 seconds for thick slab MinIP 2, and approximately 127 seconds for MPR, showing significant differences among the three methods. There were no significant differences in the results of image interpretation regarding the presence or absence of changes in the lung fields between thick slab MinIP and MPR. However, thick slab MinIP showed a shorter image interpretation time and smaller individual differences in the results among image interpreters than MPR, suggesting the usefulness of this method for determining the presence or absence of changes with time in the lung fields of patients with pulmonary emphysema.

(Summary) OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to introduce a novel customized intraoral mold treatment for maxillary gingival carcinoma (UGC). STUDY DESIGN: Two patients with UGC were treated as salvage therapy using this technique. The mold was designed to keep normal soft tissues adjacent to the tumor away from the radioactive source as much as possible, and it was shielded by lead. The radiation dose on the buccal mucosa and tongue was measured at the inner and outer surfaces of the intraoral mold before starting high-dose-rate brachytherapy by the remote afterloading system, and was reduced to almost one tenth. RESULTS: The patient had no recurrence and no severe adverse effects on the normal soft tissue adjacent to the tumor until the end of the follow-up period. CONCLUSION: High-dose-rate brachytherapy using the novel customized intraoral mold might be a treatment option of not only salvage therapy, but definitive therapy of UGC.

(Summary) We evaluated risk factors of radiation pneumonitis (RP) after whole breast irradiation following breast-conserving surgery. Four hundred and seventy-two cases underwent whole breast irradiation with tangential field following breast-conserving surgery in our hospital, between January 2005 and April 2007. Of these cases, we performed statistical analyses for 423 breasts of 413 patients, using a pulmonary dose-volume histogram. Patient characteristics, treatment regimens and irradiation methods were included as variables in the analyses on risk factors of RP. As a result, 89 breasts of 84 cases (21%) were diagnosed with RP. The version 3.0 of the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events was used to evaluate the grade of pneumonitis: 77 cases (18.2%) were diagnosed as Grade 1 RP, 10 cases (2.3%) as Grade 2, and 2 cases (0.5%) as Grade 3. Multivariate analysis indicated that the significant risk factors for RP were central lung distance (CLD) (>1.8 cm) and the short axis length of the radiation field. The incidence of radiation-induced bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia (BOOP) syndrome significantly correlated only with CLD. The lung volume within the radiation field was shown to be a significant risk factor for RP and radiation-induced BOOP syndrome.

(Summary) PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to evaluate retrospectively the toxicity and response, bladder preservation, and survival of patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer treated with multimodality therapy consisting of low-dose radiation therapy (RT) and concurrent intraarterial chemotherapy (IACT). METHODS AND MATERIALS:. Between November 1999 and July 2005, a total of 27 consecutive, previously untreated patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer underwent transurethral bladder tumor resection followed by concurrent low-dose RT and IACT. Patients who achieved a complete response (CR) were followed up closely without further therapy, and patients who did not achieve a CR underwent further treatment. RESULTS: Complete response was achieved in 22 of 27 patients (81%). Of these 22 patients, 7 developed recurrences, and 3 died of their disease. In five patients who did not achieve CR, one died from bone metastases. The 3-year overall survival rate was 81%, with a median follow-up time of 27 months; and 22 of 27 patients (81%) with a preserved bladder were tumor-free at the last follow-up. Three patients (11%) developed grade 3 acute hematological toxicity. CONCLUSION: Multimodality therapy consisting of low-dose RT and concurrent IACT for muscle-invasive bladder cancer can achieve survival rates similar to those in patients treated with radical cystectomy, with successful bladder preservation and minimal adverse effects.

(Summary) Hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-2alpha, a basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS protein, is the principal regulator of the hypoxic transcriptional response. An immunohistochemical study reported strong HIF-2alpha expression in the cytoplasm of tumor infiltrative macrophages (TIMs). Thus we assessed the expression of HIF-2alpha in human cervical cancer tissue before radiation therapy and its relationship to the clinical outcome. Seventy three patients with histologically proven primary advanced squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix underwent radiotherapy in Tokushima University Hospital after biopsy specimens were taken. Among 73 specimens stained for HIF-2alpha, 53 (72.6%) exhibited HIF-2alpha immunoreactivity in the TIMs. In only 5 of 73 cases, HIF-2alpha immunoreactivity was observed in the nuclei of tumor cells. The HIF-2alpha positive cell count ratio in TIMs was associated with disease-free survival (DFS) with the worst DFS (p=0.024) being in cases in the group with a high positive cell count ratio. A high HIF-2alpha positive cell count ratio in TIMs increased the risk of local recurrence (p=0.0142). These findings might suggest that the ratio of the HIF-2alpha positive cell in TIMs may be a new predictive indicator for prognosis before radiation therapy for uterine cervical cancer.

(Summary) Our policy regarding the performance of radiotherapy to squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix has not changed since 1969. We have already reported the treatment results which were as good as those from other institutions. Since 1978, Kampo therapy was first introduced in the treatment of cancer patients in dealing with problems such as the side effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy and various types of general malaise. We analyzed our treatment results in order to re-evaluate the chemo-radiotherapy in combination with Kampo. Survival rates for 5, 10 and 15 years, respectively, were 90.9%, 71.6% and 71.6% for Stage IB, 78.9%, 61.8% and 41.8% for Stage II, 62.3%, 49.1% and 41.2% for Stage III and 53.1%, 36.5% and 16.7% for Stage IV. The Kampo significantly extended the survival of patients with uterine cervical cancer. We intend to perform further research with more patients to explore how this therapy contributes to the prolonging of patients survival.

(Summary) To evaluate the long-term results of radical radiation therapy (RT) for cervical cancer in elderly patients. We reviewed the clinical records of 727 patients with cervical cancer who underwent radical RT at the Tokushima University Hospital and compared the treatment results of three age groups: </=64 years (younger group [YG], 337 patients), 65-74 years (young-old group [YOG], 258 patients), and >/=75 years (older group [OG], 132 patients). At the last follow-up, 155 YG (46%), 77 YOG (30%), and 48 OG patients (36%) had died of cervical cancer; the median follow-up periods were 82, 87, and 68 months, respectively. The 5-/10-year disease-specific survival rates were 60%/52% in YG, 76%/68% in YOG, and 66%/57% in OG. Differences between OG and the other groups were not significant. The 5-/10-year disease-specific survival rate of YOG was significantly superior to that of YG (p<0.001). Clinical stage was the only significant prognostic variable (p<0.001). Late radiation morbidity of grades 2-4 in the bladder and/or rectum occurred in 22% of YG, 31% of YOG, and 8% of OG patients. RT was well tolerated in elderly patients, and age was not a significant prognostic factor. In the management of cervical cancer, advanced age is not a contraindication to radical RT.

(Summary) To retrospectively evaluate the toxicity of concurrent weekly cisplatin and radiation therapy (RT) for locally advanced cervical cancer. Between April 2001 and December 2004, 21 consecutive previously untreated patients with locally advanced cervical cancer were treated with concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CCRT) at the Tokushima University Hospital. Clinical stages were II: 5, III: 15, IVA: 1. External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) was delivered with 10 MV X-rays, 2 Gy fraction per day; total dose to the whole pelvis was 50 Gy. Iridium-192 high-dose-rate (HDR) intracavitary radiation therapy was performed with 10-30 Gy (median, 24 Gy) targeted at point A. Concurrent chemotherapy consisted of cisplatin, administered weekly at a dose of 40 mg/m2 for patients who were younger than 65 years and 30 mg/m2 for those 65 years or over. A maximum single dose of cisplatin, up to 70 mg/body, was administered in 5 cycles during EBRT. A total of 86 cycles of cisplatin were administered to the 21 patients, with a median of 4 cycles (range, 2-5). Severe hematological toxicity occurred in 18 patients (86%), including grade 3 in 17 patients (81%) and grade 4 in one patient (4.8%). Moderate or severe gastrointestinal toxicity occurred in 11 patients (52%), including grade 2 in 10 patients (48%) and grade 3 in one patient (4.8%). The grades of hematological toxicity were significantly greater in the 40 mg/m2 group than in the 30 mg/m2 group. All of the patients who were administered 40 mg/m2 of cisplatin developed grade 3 or greater hematological toxicity, including one patient with grade 4 toxicity. In the 30 mg/m2 group, 3 of 10 patients developed less than grade 3 toxicity, and all patients completed radiation therapy without interruption. The incidence of severe acute hematological toxicity was significantly higher in this study than in previously reported randomized controlled trials (RCTs), especially in the group of 40 mg/m2 cisplatin. A dose of 30 mg/m2 of cisplatin was considered to be feasible in weekly cisplatin and radiation therapy.
