    Abstract Naïve T cells become effector T cells following stimulation by antigen-loaded dendritic cells (DCs) and sequential cytokine activation. We aimed to develop procedures to efficiently activate T cells with tumor-associated antigens (TAAs) to glioblastoma (GBM) stem cells. To remove antigen presentation outside of the immunosuppressive tumor milieu, three different glioma stem cell (GSC) specific antigen sources to load DCs were compared in their ability to stimulate lymphocytes. An activated T cell (ATC) protocol including cytokine activation and expansion in culture to target GSCs was generated and optimized for a planned phase I clinical trial. We compared three different antigen-loading methods on DCs to effectively activate T cells, which were GBM patient-derived GSC-lysate, acid-eluate of GSCs and synthetic peptides derived from proteins expressed in GSCs. DCs derived from HLA-A2 positive blood sample were loaded with TAAs. Autologous T cells were activated by co-culturing with loaded DCs. Efficiency and cytotoxicity of ATCs were evaluated by targeting TAA-pulsed DCs or T2 cells, GSCs, or autologous PHA-blasts. Characteristics of ATCs were evaluated by Flow Cytometry and ELISpot assay, which showed increased number of ATCs secreting IFN-γ targeting GSCs as compared with non-activated T cells and unloaded target cells. Neither GSC-lysate nor acid-eluate loading showed enhancement in response of ATCs but the synthetic peptide pool showed significantly increased IFN-γ secretion and increased cytotoxicity towards target cells. These results demonstrate that ATCs activated using a TAA synthetic peptide pool efficiently enhance cytotoxicity specifically to target cells including GSC.

    Abstract Breast irradiation has long been utilized in the adjuvant or metastatic setting to eliminate microscopic disease or to palliate existing disease, respectively. However, preclinical data have demonstrated that radiation can also alter the tumor microenvironment and induce antitumor immune responses. As a result, multiple clinical studies have been undertaken and have reported synergy between radiation and immune checkpoint blockade across various cancer types. Given recent clinical successes with immune checkpoint blockade in both early-stage and metastatic breast cancer, there has been substantial interest in combining radiation and immunotherapy to enhance local and systemic immune responses. Herein, we review the preclinical rationale for combining radiotherapy and immunotherapy, the early clinical trials that have adopted this strategy in breast cancer, and the landscape of ongoing relevant clinical trials. Finally, we propose future directions based on promising preclinical studies that integrate radiation, checkpoint blockade, and novel agents for the treatment of breast cancer.

    Abstract Introduction: X-ray Velocimetry (XV) ventilation analysis is a 4-dimensional imaging-based method for quantifying regional ventilation, aiding in the assessment of lung function. We examined the performance characteristics of XV ventilation analysis by examining correlation to spirometry and measurement repeatability.
    Methods: XV analysis was assessed in 27 patients receiving thoracic radiotherapy for non-lung cancer malignancies. Measurements were obtained pre-treatment and at 4 and 12-months post-treatment. XV metrics such as ventilation defect percent (VDP) and regional ventilation heterogeneity (VH) were compared to spirometry at each time point, using correlation analysis. Repeatability was assessed between multiple runs of the analysis algorithm, as well as between multiple breaths in the same patient. Change in VH and VDP in a case series over 12 months was used to determine effect size and estimate sample sizes for future studies.
    Results: VDP and VH were found to significantly correlate with FEV
    Conclusions: The performance and safety of XV analysis make it ideal for both clinical and research applications across most lung indications. Our results support continued research and provide a basis for powering future studies using XV as an endpoint to examine lung health and determine therapeutic efficacy.

    Abstract Increasing experimental and clinical evidence has revealed a critical role for myeloid cells in the development and progression of cancer. The ability of monocytes and macrophages to regulate inflammation allows them to manipulate the tumor microenvironment to support the growth and development of malignant cells. Recent studies have shown that macrophages can exist in several functional states depending on the microenvironment they encounter in the tissue. These functional phenotypes influence not only the genesis and propagation of tumors, but also the efficacy of cancer therapies, particularly radiation. Early classification of the macrophage phenotypes, or "polarization states," identified 2 major states, M1 and M2, that have cytotoxic and wound repair capacity, respectively. In the context of tumors, classically activated or M1 macrophages driven by interferon-gamma support antitumor immunity while alternatively activated or M2 macrophages generated in part from interleukin-4 exposure hinder antitumor immunity by suppressing cytotoxic responses against a tumor. In this review, we discuss the role that the functional phenotype of a macrophage population plays in tumor development. We will then focus specifically on how macrophages and myeloid cells regulate the tumor response to radiation therapy.

    Abstract The development of cancer is a multi-step process involving the gradual loss of regulation over the growth and functional capabilities of normal cells. Much research has been focused on the numerous cell intrinsic factors that govern this process; however, recent attention has turned to understanding the cell extrinsic factors in the tumor microenvironment that appear equally critical to the progression and treatment of cancer. One critical component of the tumor microenvironment is the immune system and it has become increasingly evident that the immune system plays an integral role in preventing and promoting the development of cancer. Understanding the immune cell types and pathways involved in this process has enabled the development of novel biomarkers for prognosis and accelerated the development of immune-based therapeutics, both of which have the potential to forever change the treatment paradigms for colorectal cancer (CRC). In this review, we discuss the impact of the immune system on the initiation, progression and treatment of cancer, specifically focusing on CRC.

    Abstract Purpose: Accelerated partial breast irradiation (APBI) delivered with high-dose-rate brachytherapy is a standard of care treatment typically delivered over 10 fractions. The TRIUMPH-T multi-institutional study recently demonstrated promising results using a shorter three fraction regimen, however there are limited additional published series using this regimen. Here, we report our experience and outcomes for patients treated as per the TRIUMPH-T regimen.
    Methods and materials: This study was a retrospective single-institution analysis of patients who underwent lumpectomy followed by APBI (22.5 Gy in 3 fractions delivered over 2-3 days) using a Strut Adjusted Volume Implant (SAVI) applicator between November 2016 and January 2021. Dose-volume metrics were obtained from the clinically treated plan. Chart review was performed to determine locoregional recurrence and toxicities according to CTCAE v5.0.
    Results: Between 2016 and 2021, 31 patients were treated per the TRIUMPH-T protocol. Median followup was 31 months from completion of brachytherapy. There were no acute/late Grade 3 or higher toxicities. Cumulative late Grade 1 and 2 toxicities were seen in 58.1% and 9.7% of patients, respectively. Of note, four patients experienced locoregional recurrence: three ipsilateral breast tumor recurrences and one nodal recurrence. All three ipsilateral breast tumor recurrences occurred in patients who would be classified as "cautionary" based on ASTRO consensus guidelines due to age ≤50, lobular histology, or high grade.
    Conclusions: Three-fraction HDR brachytherapy APBI was well-tolerated with no grade 3 or higher toxicities and an acceptably small percentage of grade 2 toxicities. Given the small sample size, the number of recurrences suggests that attention to appropriate patient selection is necessary until more long-term followup data is available.
