We enrolled a cohort of 139 patients diagnosed with stage IIB to IV cervical squamous cell carcinoma, based on the 2018 FIGO classification, who underwent concurrent chemoradiotherapy and pre-/post-treatment MRI examinations. These patients were divided into complete response and partial response groups. Prior to the initiation of treatment, the areas of interest within the lesion were delineated on T2-weighted imaging (T2WI), diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), and enhanced T1-weighted imaging (T1WI) sequences, from which radiomic features were extracted. The group was randomly divided into training (n = 111) and validation (n = 28) sets (8:2 ratio) to identify the optimal features. Logistic regression models were constructed to predict treatment response, with distinct models based on the following imaging modalities: enhanced T1WI, T2WI, DWI, a combination of T2WI and enhanced T1WI (joint model 1), and a combination of T2WI, DWI, and enhanced T1WI (joint model 2). Model fitness and predictive performance were assessed using receiver operating characteristic curves, while the clinical applicability of the models was analyzed using decision curve analysis. A cumulative count of 2,264 radiomic features was derived from the region of interest in each imaging sequence. Subsequently, 18, 16, 15, 16, and 13 optimal features were selectively identified from the five models. These selected features were employed to formulate a radiomics model designed for the prediction of treatment response. These selected features were used to construct individual radiomics models aimed at predicting treatment response. Subsequently, all models achieved AUCs > 0.8 in the validation set, with Joint Model 2 demonstrating the highest performance (AUC = 0.939, 95% CI: 0.826-1; sensitivity = 0.773, specificity = 0.833).

In advanced-stage disease, uninvolved lymphatic structures of the neck are electively irradiated, whereas in early-stage disease the larynx alone is irradiated. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been implicated as a prognostic marker in head and neck SQCC. As lymphocytes are extremely radiosensitive, the absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) may fluctuate during and after radiotherapy, and consequently, the NLR may vary across these time points. This study aimed to evaluate dynamic changes in NLR, ALC, and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) during and after radiotherapy and to assess their association with oncologic outcomes in patients with laryngeal SQCC. We retrospectively reviewed the charts of patients treated with definitive-intent radiotherapy or chemoradiotherapy for laryngeal carcinoma at our institution between 2015 and 2021. NLR, ANC, and ALC values were recorded at three time points: treatment initiation, treatment completion, and three to six months after treatment completion. Oncologic outcomes were also recorded. A total of 174 patients treated for laryngeal SQCC were included. The mean NLR level was significantly higher at treatment completion than at treatment initiation (6.23 ± 4.61 vs. 3.12 ± 3.32, P < 0.001) and was significantly lower at 3-6 months after treatment than at treatment completion (3.75 ± 2.15 vs. 6.23 ± 4.61, P < 0.001). An NLR level above 4 at treatment completion was associated with worse overall survival (log-rank P = 0.005). NLR above 4 at treatment completion and 3-6 months afterward was associated with worse disease-free survival (log-rank P = 0.047 and P = 0.011, respectively). Mean ALC declined from 1.91 ± 0.70 × 103/µL at baseline to 0.90 ± 0.51 × 103/µL at treatment completion and partially recovered to 1.36 ± 0.52 × 103/µL at follow-up, whereas ANC remained relatively stable (4.95 ± 1.70, 4.38 ± 1.99, and 4.38 ± 1.44 × 103/µL, respectively). NLR significantly increases during oncologic treatment. Our study demonstrates a novel association between NLR at the end of treatment for laryngeal SQCC and survival. Patients whose NLR remains high 3-6 months after treatment experience worse disease-free survival. The transient rise in NLR appears to be largely driven by radiation-induced lymphocyte depletion.

However, radiosensitizing effects in tumors are only achieved with stereotactic body radiotherapy-type dosing (≥7 Gy per fraction). These effects are limited at lower fractional doses that are clinically relevant for many tumors, including locally advanced rectal cancer. Here, we show that combining the MnPAM dismutase mimetic, rucosopasem manganese (GC4711), with pharmacological ascorbate significantly enhances radiosensitization to fractionated radiation doses relevant in colorectal cancer treatment (2-5 Gy) compared to either agent alone in multiple tumor models in vitro and significantly prolongs tumor growth delay in vivo. Mechanistically, enhanced radiosensitization with combination therapy is mediated by increased oxygen consumption and hydrogen peroxide generation. Despite having no effect on oxygen consumption in tumor cell media on its own, GC4711 significantly increases pharmacological ascorbate-induced oxygen consumption. Inducible catalase expression, or administration of exogenous catalase, attenuates the anti-cancer activity when combined. As predicted, increased peroxide fluxes with combination therapy enhanced postirradiation DNA damage and G2/M cell cycle accumulation. Importantly, treatment with pharmacological ascorbate and/or GC4711 had no significant effect on postirradiation clonogenic survival or DNA damage in non-malignant FHs74 enterocytes. These results support the hypothesis that adding pharmacological ascorbate to MnPAM dismutase mimetics selectively induces more peroxide-mediated radiosensitization than either agent alone in tumors without increasing radiosensitivity in cells treated with clinically relevant radiation fraction sizes used for radiotherapy of colorectal cancers.</p>","PeriodicalId":20903,"journal":{"name":"Radiation research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148562847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
