Methionine addiction is a fundamental and general hallmark of cancer, termed the Hoffman effect. Cancer cells need larger amounts of exogenous methionine in order to grow compared to normal cells, despite their ability to synthesize normal or greater amounts of methionine from homocysteine, due to increased transmethylation reactions in cancer cells. Methionine restriction therapy, including recombinant methioninase (rMETase), arrests cancer cells in the late-S/G2 phase of the cell cycle by targeting methionine addiction. First-line chemotherapy for osteosarcoma, including methotrexate (MTX), doxorubicin (DOX), and cisplatinum (CDDP), targets cells in the S/G2-phase, where cancer cells are also inhibited by methionine restriction, resulting in the synergy of methionine restriction to overcome drug resistance.

Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) enables precise dose delivery to tumors while sparing healthy tissues. However, geometric uncertainties such as patient positioning errors and anatomical deformations can compromise treatment accuracy. Traditional methods use safety margins, which may lead to excessive irradiation of healthy organs or insufficient tumor coverage. Robust optimization techniques, such as minimax approaches, attempt to address these uncertainties but can result in overly conservative treatment plans. This study introduces an interval analysis-based optimization model for IMRT, offering a more flexible approach to uncertainty management. <b>Methods</b>: The proposed model represents geometric uncertainties using interval dose influence matrices and incorporates Bertoluzza's metric to balance tumor coverage and organ-at-risk (OAR) protection. The θ parameter allows controlled robustness modulation. The model was implemented in matRad, an open-source treatment planning system, and evaluated on five prostate cancer cases. Results were compared against traditional Planning Target Volume (PTV) and minimax robust optimization approaches. <b>Results</b>: The interval-based model improved tumor coverage by 5.8% while reducing bladder dose by 4.2% compared to PTV. In contrast, minimax robust optimization improved tumor coverage by 25.8% but increased bladder dose by 23.2%. The interval-based approach provided a better balance between tumor coverage and OAR protection, demonstrating its potential to enhance treatment effectiveness without excessive conservatism. <b>Conclusions</b>: This study presents a novel framework for IMRT planning that improves uncertainty management through interval analysis. By allowing adjustable robustness modulation, the proposed model enables more personalized and clinically adaptable treatment plans. These findings highlight the potential of interval analysis as a powerful tool for optimizing radiotherapy outcomes, balancing treatment efficacy and patient safety.</p>","PeriodicalId":9681,"journal":{"name":"Cancers","volume":"17 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143405817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study led to the approval of BV with CHP as the first-line therapy for CD30-positive PTCL (sALCL in Europe). We summarize the encouraging combination applications of BV in this review. Ongoing studies on combination therapies of BV are also listed, highlighting potential directions for the future application of BV.
