    Abstract Background: Major advances have been made in reconstructive surgery in the last decades to reduce morbidity in head and neck cancer. Flaps are now present in 80% of patients with oral cavity cancer to cover anatomic, functional, and cosmetic needs. However, gaps in interdisciplinary innovation transfer from surgery to postoperative radiotherapy (poRT) remain challenging. We aimed to provide an interdisciplinary view of the challenges encountered by radiation oncologists in planning head and neck postoperative radiotherapy.
    Methods: A systematic and critical review was conducted to address areas of optimization in surgery and radiology that may be relevant to poRT.
    Results: Despite extensive surgical literature on flap techniques and salvage surgery, 13 retrospective series were identified, where flap outcomes were indirectly compared between surgery alone or poRT. These low-evidence studies suggest that radiotherapy accelerates flap atrophy, fibrosis, and osteoradionecrosis and deteriorates functional outcomes. Preliminary evidence suggests that tumor spread occurs at the flap-tissue junction rather than in the flaps. One prospective 15-patient study showed 31.3% vs. 39.2% flap volume reduction without or with poRT. In an international consensus, experts recognized the needs for optimized flap-sparing poRT against flap-related functional deterioration and bone damage. CT, MRI, and PET-CT modalities show potential for the delineation of the junction area between native tissues and flap for flap segmentation and to characterize flap-specific changes quantitatively and correlate them with patterns of relapse or complications.
    Conclusion: Flap management in poRT is insufficiently documented, but poRT seems to damage flaps. Current gaps in knowledge underscore the need for prospective flap assessment and interdisciplinary trials investigating flap morbidity minimization by flap-sparing poRT planning.

    Abstract The objective of the present study was to assess the outcomes and toxicity of patients treated with concurrent administration of CDK4/6 inhibitors (CDK4/6i) and locoregional radiation therapy (RT), including the breast with a boost or the thoracic wall after mastectomy and the regional lymph node areas. We retrospectively analyzed data from 27 patients with hormone receptor-positive, HER2-negative de novo metastatic breast cancer treated with CDK4/6i and concomitant locoregional RT in 2017/2022. Survival rates were calculated by Kaplan-Meier method. Prognostic factors were tested with log-rank test. CDK4/6i was used as the first systemic metastatic treatment for all the patients, and the median overall treatment time was 26 months. The median time from initiation of CDK4/6i to the start of RT was 10 months (IQR: 7-14 months). The median duration of concomitant CDK4/6i and RT administration was 21 days (IQR: 14.5-23 days). After a median follow-up of 19 months (IQR: 14-36 months), 1 patient died, 11/27 had distant metastases and 1 patient had local recurrence, respectively. The 1- and 3-years progression-free survival (PFS) were 61.4% (95% CI: 45.1%-83.7%) and 53.7% (35.8%-80.5%), respectively. The acute toxicities most observed during RT were neutropenia (44%) and dermatitis (37%). Dermatitis was significantly more frequent in patients with large target volumes (CTV > 911 cc and PTV > 1285 cc). CDK4/6i had to be discontinued in five patients during RT (due to toxicity in three cases and disease progression in two cases). One patient has developed grade 2 late pulmonary fibrosis. Finally, our study demonstrated that concurrent administration of locoregional RT and CDK4/6i did not induce severe late toxicity for most patients.

    Abstract Background: The objective of the present study was to review the essential knowledge about the combinations of the most commonly used or under development targeted treatments and radiation therapy (RT).
    Methods: Preclinical and clinical studies investigating this combination were extensively reviewed.
    Results: Several studies showed that the combination of RT and tamoxifen increased the risk of radiation-induced pulmonary toxicity; therefore, both modalities should not be given concomitantly. The combination of HER2 inhibitors (trastuzumab, pertuzumab) and RT seems to be safe. However, trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1) should not be administered concurrently with brain RT since this combination could increase the risk of brain radionecrosis. The combination of RT and other new target treatments such as selective estrogen receptor degradants, lapatinib, cell cycle inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, or molecules acting on DNA damage repair seems feasible but was essentially evaluated on retrospective or prospective studies with a small number of patients. Furthermore, there is considerable heterogeneity among these studies regarding the dose and fractionation of radiation, the dosage of drugs, and the sequence of treatments used.
    Conclusions: The combination of RT with most targeted therapies for BC appears to be well-tolerated, but these results need to be confirmed in prospective randomized studies.

    Abstract The COVID-19 caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus is at the origin of a global pandemic. This pandemic has prompted the current health system to reorganize and rethink the care offered by health establishments. We report the early toxicity in patients infected with COVID-19 treated at the same time for early-stage breast cancer (BC). This is a monocentric prospective study of patients treated in our hospital between March 2020 and June 2020 and were diagnosed with COVID-19 infection. The inclusion criteria were to be irradiated for early-stage BC and to have a positive COVID-19 diagnosis on a PCR test and/or a lung computed tomography (CT) scan and/or suggestive clinical symptoms. Radiotherapy (RT) consisted of breast or chest wall irradiation with or without lymph node irradiation, with protocols adapted to pandemic situation. The treatment-related toxicity was graded according to the CTCAE (version 4.03). All 350 patients treated for early-stage BC were studied. Of them, 16 were presented with clinical symptoms of COVID-19 infection and of them, 12 had clinical, CT scan, and PCR confirmation. This entire cohort of 12 pts with median age of 56 (42-72) underwent their RT. During the radiotherapy, there were 9 pts presented radiation dermatitis, 8 (66%) were grade 1 and one was (8%) grade 2. Two patients with lymph nodes irradiation presented esophagitis grade 2. This prospective COVID-19 cohort, treated for early-stage BC demonstrated an acceptable toxicity profile with few low-grade adverse events. Longer follow-up is needed to confirm these findings.

    Abstract The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and positron emission tomography (PET) imaging has the potential to become a powerful tool in drug discovery. This review aims to provide an overview of the current state of research and highlight the potential for this alliance to advance pharmaceutical innovation by accelerating the development and deployment of novel therapeutics. We previously performed a scoping review of three databases (Embase, MEDLINE, and CENTRAL), identifying 87 studies published between 2018 and 2022 relevant to medical imaging (e.g., CT, PET, MRI), immunotherapy, artificial intelligence, and radiomics. Herein, we reexamine the previously identified studies, performing a subgroup analysis on articles specifically utilizing AI and PET imaging for drug discovery purposes in immunotherapy-treated oncology patients. Of the 87 original studies identified, 15 met our updated search criteria. In these studies, radiomics features were primarily extracted from PET/CT images in combination (

    Abstract Purpose: The delineation of target volumes and organs at risk is the main source of uncertainty in radiation therapy. Numerous interobserver variability (IOV) studies have been conducted, often with unclear methodology and nonstandardized reporting. We aimed to identify the parameters chosen in conducting delineation IOV studies and assess their performances and limits.
    Methods and materials: We conducted a systematic literature review to highlight major points of heterogeneity and missing data in IOV studies published between 2018 and 2021. For the main used metrics, we did in silico analyses to assess their limits in specific clinical situations.
    Results: All disease sites were represented in the 66 studies examined. Organs at risk were studied independently of tumor site in 29% of reviewed IOV studies. In 65% of studies, statistical analyses were performed. No gold standard (GS; ie, reference) was defined in 36% of studies. A single expert was considered as the GS in 21% of studies, without testing intraobserver variability. All studies reported both absolute and relative indices, including the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) in 68% and the Hausdorff distance (HD) in 42%. Limitations were shown in silico for small structures when using the DSC and dependence on irregular shapes when using the HD. Variations in DSC values were large between studies, and their thresholds were inconsistent. Most studies (51%) included 1 to 10 cases. The median number of observers or experts was 7 (range, 2-35). The intraclass correlation coefficient was reported in only 9% of cases. Investigating the feasibility of studying IOV in delineation, a minimum of 8 observers with 3 cases, or 11 observers with 2 cases, was required to demonstrate moderate reproducibility.
    Conclusions: Implementation of future IOV studies would benefit from a more standardized methodology: clear definitions of the gold standard and metrics and a justification of the tradeoffs made in the choice of the number of observers and number of delineated cases should be provided.

    Title translation Issues and implementation of postoperative radiotherapy after flap reconstructive surgery in head and neck cancers.
    Abstract The management of head and neck cancers is multidisciplinary, often relying on the use of combined treatments to maximize the chances of cure. Combined treatments are however also responsible for cumulative side effects. The aim of reconstructive surgery with a flap is to restore a function lost with the loss of substance from the tumor resection. However, changes in reconstructive surgery have impact of postoperative radiotherapy planning. The optimization of imaging protocols for radiotherapy planning should make it possible to identify postoperative changes and to distinguish flaps from surrounding native tissues to delineate the flaps and document the spontaneous evolution of these flaps or dose-effect relationships in case of radiotherapy. Such changes include atrophy, fibrosis of soft tissue flaps and osteoradionecrosis of bone flaps. Radiotherapy optimization also involves standardization of the definition of target volumes in situations where a flap is present, a situation that is increasingly common in routine care. This evolution of practice, beyond the essential multidisciplinary consultation meetings defining treatment indications, requires a close radio surgical collaboration with respect to technical aspects of the two disciplines. Doing so, anticipation of relapse and toxicity profiles could possibly lead to propose strategies for personalized de-escalation of multimodal treatments through interdisciplinary trials.

    Abstract Background: Radiation therapy (RT) is essential in treating advanced lung cancer, but may lead to radiation pneumonitis (RP). This systematic review investigates the use of pulmonary function tests (PFT) and other parameters to predict and mitigate RP, thereby improving RT planning.
    Methods: A systematic review sifted through PubMed and on BioMed Central, targeting articles from September 2005 to December 2022 containing the keywords: Lung Cancer, Radiotherapy, and pulmonary function test.
    Results: From 1153 articles, 80 were included. RP was assessed using CTCAEv.4 in 30 % of these. Six studies evaluated post-RT quality of life in lung cancer patients, reporting no decline. Patients with RP and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) generally exhibited poorer overall survival. Notably, forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) declined 24 months post-RT, while forced vital capacity (FVC) stayed stable. In the majority of studies, age over 60, tumors located in the lower part of the lung, and low FEV1 before RT were associated with a higher risk of RP. Dosimetric factors (V5, V20, MLD) and metabolic imaging emerged as significant predictors of RP risk. A clinical checklist blending patient and tumor characteristics, PFT results, and dosimetric criteria was proposed for assessing RP risk before RT.
    Conclusion: The review reveals the multifactorial nature of RP development following RT in lung cancer. This approach should guide individualized management and calls for a prospective study to validate these findings and enhance RP prevention strategies.
