Radiotherapy for Unresectable Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer
2112 Review Article Radiotherapy for unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a narrative review of the current landscape and future prospects in the era of immunotherapy Tiantian Guo1,2#, Liqing Zou1,2#, Jianjiao Ni1,2, Xiao Chu1,2, Zhengfei Zhu1,2,3 1Department of Radiation Oncology, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, Shanghai, China; 2Department of Oncology, Shanghai Medical College, 3Institute of Thoracic Oncology, Fudan University, Shanghai, China Contributions: (I) Conception and design: Z Zhu; (II) Administrative support: None; (III) Provision of study materials or patients: None; (IV) Collection and assembly of data: All authors; (V) Data analysis and interpretation: All authors; (VI) Manuscript writing: All authors; (VII) Final approval of manuscript: All authors. #These two authors contributed equally to this work. Correspondence to: Zhengfei Zhu, MD. Department of Radiation Oncology, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center, 270 Dong An Road, Shanghai, 200032 China. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Significant recent advances have occurred in the use of radiation therapy for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (LA-NSCLC). In fact, the past few decades have seen both therapeutic gains and setbacks in the evolution of radiotherapy for LA-NSCLC. The PACIFIC trial has heralded a new era of immunotherapy and has raised important questions for future study, such as the future directions of radiation therapy for LA-NSCLC in the era of immunotherapy. Modern radiotherapy techniques such as three-dimensional (3D) conformal radiotherapy and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) provide opportunities for improved target conformity and reduced normal-tissue exposure. However, the low-dose radiation volume brought by IMRT and its effects on the immune system deserve particular attention when combing radiotherapy and immunotherapy. -

Background: To report on our institutional experience using Proton stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for patients with liver metastases. Methods: All patients with liver metastases treated with Proton SBRT between September 2012 and December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Local control (LC) and overall survival (OS) were estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method calculated from the time of completion of Proton SBRT. LC was defined according to Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) guidelines (version 1.1). -

As one resource for this effort, CARRI has commissioned a number of summaries of existing knowledge about resilience, arising from a number of different research traditions. This paper is one in a series of such summaries, which will be integrated with new resilience explorations in several CARRI partner cities and with further discussions with the research community and other stakeholders to serve as the knowledge base for the initiative.

Guglielmo Marconi Preface This Habilitation is based on selected publications, which represent my major sci- entific contributions as an experimental physicist to the field of particle accelerators and detectors applied to medical diagnostics and therapy. They are reprinted in Part II of this work to be considered for the Habilitation and they cover original achievements and relevant aspects for the present and future of medical applications of particle physics. The text reported in Part I is aimed at putting my scientific work into its con- text and perspective, to comment on recent developments and, in particular, on my contributions to the advances in accelerators and detectors for cancer hadrontherapy and for the production of radioisotopes.

Ed., PhD Date Dr. Elizabeth Schultz/Dr. Theresa Burg, Chair, Department of Biological Science, PhD Date ABSTRACT Most bacterial infections can be correlated to contamination of consumables such as food and water. Upon contamination, boil water advisories have been ordered to ensure water is safe to consume, despite the evidence that heat-killed bacteria can induce genomic instability of exposed (intestine) and distal cells (liver and spleen). We hypothesize that exposure to components of heat-killed Escherichia coli O157:H7 will induce genomic instability within animal cells directly and indirectly exposed to these determinants. Mice were exposed to various components of dead bacteria such as DNA, RNA, protein or LPS as well as to whole heat-killed bacteria via drinking water. -
