Histopathological assessment of prominent infiltration of lymphocytes in tumor microenvironment (TME), including intratumoral lymphocytic response (ILR) and peritumoral lymphocytic response (PLR), was utilized to predict MSI-H. However, the direct pathological evidence of lymphocytic response predicting survival of rectal cancer is lacking due to the predominant neoadjuvant concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) treatment. This study aims to identify whether the phenotype of PLR and ILR is associated with the clinical outcome of locally-advanced rectal cancer receiving definitive surgery followed by adjuvant CCRT. Methods: From 2005 to 2018, among the 121 patients enrolled from MacKay Memorial Hospital, 55 specimen was assessable for lymphocytic response. ILR and PLR were assessed according to the cancer reporting protocol released by the College of American Pathologists (CAP). Based on positive or negative ILR/PLR, we categorized each patient as one of the four groups: ILR+/PLR+, ILR+/PLR−, ILR−/PLR+, or ILR−/PLR−. Results: ILR−/PLR− was significantly associated with poorer overall survival, compared to either positive lymphocytic response of ILR or PLR. Multivariate analysis revealed ILR−/PLR− as a significant risk factor for overall survival after adjusting with clinical characteristics. Conclusions: Lymphocytic response in tumor microenvironment (TME) can be a predictor for poor survival outcome and a potential indicator for immunotherapy.","PeriodicalId":93236,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic radiology and oncology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46471819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this study was to analyze long-term outcome for early stage tongue cancer patients treated by surgery alone for potential factors in predicting any subsequent relapse. Methods: The inclusion criteria for this retrospective study involved previously untreated, biopsy-proven squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the tongue, clinical stage T1-2N0M0 and patients who had received surgery alone. From February 2007 to January 2015, the chart records and images of 199 eligible patients were reviewed. Results: After a medial follow-up period of 89 months, we discovered 53 recurrences and 34 deaths. The 5-year overall survival (OS) and locoregional failure-free survival (LRFFS) rates were 83.9% and 72.4%, respectively. Univariate and multivariate analyses revealed that a poorly differentiated histology, depth of invasion (DOI) >5 mm, and perineural invasion (PNI) affected both OS and LRFFS. Patients with an absence of any risk factors (poorly differentiated histology, invasion depth over 5 mm, and PNI) experienced significantly better OS (5-year rates, 92.0% vs. 72.7%, P=0.0001) and LRFFS (5-year rates, 76.8% vs. 66.6 %, P=0.0382) than those with at least one of the risk factors. Conclusions: An overall relapse rate of 26.6% was observed for patients with early tongue cancer treated by surgery alone. Patients with risk factors (poorly differentiated histology, DOI >5 mm, and PNI) should be considered for postoperative adjuvant therapy in future trials. 8","PeriodicalId":93236,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic radiology and oncology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.21037/TRO.2020.01.02","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47031642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, SIF is still under-diagnosis. We presented a patient with endometrial cancer who complained of low back pain after adjuvant radiotherapy. Finally, SIF was detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This 66-year-old woman was diagnosed with endometrioid adenocarcinoma, stage Ia, grade 3. She received staging surgery (total abdominal hysterectomy, bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy, bilateral pelvic lymph nodes dissection, omental biopsy and peritoneal washing cytology) followed by adjuvant radiotherapy with the dose of 50.4 Gy in 28 fractions to pelvic lymphatics and vaginal stump (from November 2014 to December 2014). After completion of radiotherapy for 6 months, she complained of diffuse low back pain, but denied any trauma history. The results of physical examination for pelvic and rectal area were normal. The abdomenpelvis computer tomography revealed no significant finding. The whole body bone scans disclosed the suspect bone metastases at left sacroiliac joint (SI joint). Considering the osteoporosis-associated fracture is common present in elderly women, we perform the MRI of SI joint to differentiate whether these lesions are benign process or malignancy. The result of MRI confirmed the diagnosis of radiation-associated SIF which is characterized by the signs of marrow edema (more obvious by STIR, Short T1 Inversion Recovery, MRI images). She received supportive care and had back pain subsided during regular follow-up. With the accurate diagnosis of SIF but not bony metastasis, this patient had subsequent favorable clinical course and outcome with resolution of symptoms by conservative treatment.","PeriodicalId":93236,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic radiology and oncology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.21037/tro-17-tastro-16","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42677004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some lesions, especially those in the abdomen and pelvis, may not be appropriate candidates for receiving ablative dose if daily on-board computed tomography (CT) is used because of limited target lesion and normal anatomy visualization. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) inherently provides superior soft tissue delineation as compared to CT and only recently have MR-guided linear accelerators (LINACs) become commercially available. MR-LINACs can also perform daily online adaptive replanning based on the current day’s anatomy, further positioning this novel technology as a preferred means to safely deliver ablative dose, even to targets in anatomically challenging locations. Here we present the case of a 49-year-old man with bladder cancer who underwent cystectomy and developed metachronous disease in 2 mesenteric lymph nodes for which he received MR-guided SBRT with daily online adaptive replanning to a prescription dose of 50 Gy in 5 fractions. He achieved a significant radiographic response and did not experience significant treatment-related toxicity. We discuss unique advantages of MR guidance and novel applications, especially in the context of OM disease.","PeriodicalId":93236,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic radiology and oncology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43526851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
