A dynamic blood flow model to compute absorbed dose to circulating blood and lymphocytes in liver external beam radiotherapy

Shu Xing et al.

Summary: A novel 4D dynamic liver blood flow model was developed for accurate dose estimation during liver-directed external beam radiotherapy, showing advantages of proton treatments over photon treatments in terms of circulating blood cell doses. However, the beam-on time was found to significantly impact dose distribution.

Lymphocyte dynamics during and after chemo-radiation correlate to dose and outcome in stage III NSCLC patients undergoing maintenance immunotherapy

Yeona Cho et al.

Summary: This study investigated the dynamics of lymphocyte depletion and recovery in non-small cell lung cancer patients undergoing chemoradiotherapy, and their correlation with regional dose. The findings suggest that the recovery from lymphopenia is strongly associated with improved survival in patients receiving maintenance immunotherapy.

Four-Year Survival With Durvalumab After Chemoradiotherapy in Stage III NSCLC-an Update From the PACIFIC Trial

Corinne Faivre-Finn et al.

Summary: In the Phase 3, placebo-controlled PACIFIC trial, consolidative durvalumab after chemoradiotherapy showed significant improvements in overall survival and progression-free survival for patients with unresectable, stage III NSCLC, with consistent benefits observed approximately 4 years after treatment. Durvalumab demonstrated durable benefits with a higher 4-year survival rate and progression-free survival rate compared to placebo.

Radiation-induced lymphopenia during chemoradiation therapy for non-small cell lung cancer is linked with age, lung V5, and XRCC1 rs25487 genotypes in lymphocytes

Xiaoxue Xie et al.

Summary: This study identified age, tumor size, lung V5 and mean dose, heart V5 and mean dose, and XRCC1 rs25487 AA genotype as factors associated with severe RIL in lung cancer patients. Age, lung V5, and XRCC1 rs25487 AA were independently associated with a higher risk of severe RIL.

Epidemiology of stage III lung cancer: frequency, diagnostic characteristics, and survival

Ana Casal-Mourino et al.

Summary: Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) presents a highly heterogeneous group of patients with diverse treatment approaches including chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. Due to the heterogeneity of patient populations and limitations of study methods, there are controversies surrounding the treatment of stage III disease. Additionally, changes in disease definition and early research studies impact the interpretation of treatment outcomes and patient classification for stage III NSCLC.

Nalee Kim et al.

Summary: The study found that PBSPT can reduce the risk of severe radiation-induced lymphopenia compared to IMRT. Lung V5Gy was identified as the most important factor affecting SRL. Patients with SRL had a lower 2-year overall survival rate compared to those without SRL.

Association of severe lymphopenia and disease progression in unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer treated with definitive chemoradiation and immunotherapy

Cole Friedes et al.

Summary: Severe treatment-related lymphopenia (TRL) may lead to disease progression in patients with locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) receiving consolidative immunotherapy, highlighting the importance of identifying factors associated with lymphopenia development and implementing strategies to mitigate its effects.

Risk and impact of radiation related lymphopenia in lung cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Rituraj Upadhyay et al.

Summary: Research shows that radiation-related lymphopenia is linked to higher risks of progression and death in lung cancer patients. Dosimetric parameters, age, baseline lymphocyte counts, disease stage, and tumor size are all factors that can influence the occurrence of lymphopenia. Models predicting radiation doses to lymphocytes can serve as reliable indicators for treatment outcomes.

The Influence of Severe Radiation-Induced Lymphopenia on Overall Survival in Solid Tumors: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Pim J. J. Damen et al.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the prognostic impact of radiation-induced lymphopenia (RIL) on overall survival (OS) in patients with solid tumors. The results demonstrated a significant detrimental prognostic association between grade >= 3 lymphopenia and OS, especially in tumors of the brain, thorax, and upper abdomen. Further research is needed to explore strategies to mitigate lymphopenia and potentially improve survival outcomes in these patients.

HEDOS-a computational tool to assess radiation dose to circulating blood cells during external beam radiotherapy based on whole-body blood flow simulations

Jungwook Shin et al.

Summary: The study developed a computational framework, HEDOS, to estimate dose to circulating blood cells from radiation therapy treatment. Dynamic models were implemented to describe the distribution of blood particles in organs and the delivery of radiation fields over time. Simulations showed different dose levels to the circulating blood for brain irradiation compared to liver irradiation, emphasizing the importance of dynamic modeling for evaluating dose to circulating blood cells for radiation-induced lymphopenia assessment.
