    Abstract Background and purpose: In men with biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer (PCA) after radical prostatectomy (RP), there is limited data on the effectiveness of adding elective pelvic nodal radiation (EPNI) to salvage prostate bed radiation (PBRT) without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to prevent progression.
    Materials and methods: Retrospective chart review of 326 patients treated for BCR of PCA from a single institution was performed to capture baseline pre-operative PSA, pathologic details, post-operative PSA, treatment details (radiation and ADT), subsequent failure (rising PSA), response to radiation, and subsequent outcomes after radiation.
    Results: Between 2004 through 2017, 326 patients received PBRT. Majority (n = 253; 78%) did not receive ADT. Majority received EPNI (n = 227; 90%) with salvage PBRT (n = 213; 94%). The median pre-PBRT PSA was 0.50 ng/ml (0.10-75.60 ng/ml). Of the patients that did not receive ADT, 83% (210/253) achieved an undetectable (< 0.2 ng/ml) PSA after salvage PBRT. After a median follow-up of 87 months, 172 (53%) patients were without a rising PSA and 50 (15%) developed metastatic disease.
    Conclusion: Outcomes with salvage PBRT plus EPNI without ADT appear comparable to salvage PBRT plus EPNI plus ADT. These results need confirmation in a randomized setting.

    Abstract Introduction: There are few reports on the effect of radiation alone on blood cells (without chemotherapy). We sought to develop a single source as a reference. Materials and Methods: For over 300 prostate cancer patients treated with radiation alone, we collected the baseline, end-of-treatment and three-month post-therapy complete blood counts (CBC). Results: The hemoglobin dropped by a mean of 1.00 g/dL (−7.1%), with an RBC count of 0.40 × 1012 (−8.6%) at the end of treatment and remained significantly (but <5%) below baseline at follow-up. Significant declines were seen in the levels of the granulocytes (−12.2%; −0.67 × 109), monocytes (−2.2%; −0.05 × 109) and platelets (−12.7%; −30.31 × 109) at the end of treatment, but all returned to baseline on follow-up. The neutrophils and basophils (the primary components of the granulocytes) suffered a significant decline but returned to baseline by the follow-up. The other granulocyte components, the eosinophils, did not decline significantly. The most dramatic decline was in the levels of lymphocytes −62.5% (−1.29 × 109), which were still significantly below baseline (−38%) after two years. Conclusion: The effect of radiation is mostly transitory, with some persistence in hemoglobin/erythrocyte levels (<5%). Lymphocytes are slower to recover, remaining significantly below baseline after two years. It is noteworthy that of the patients whose lymphocytes were in the normal range at the start of therapy, only 14% were below normal at follow-up. Radiation alone has negligible-to-modest long-term effects on blood counts.

    Abstract Purpose: Our purpose was to determine and model the dose-response relations of different parts of the pelvis regarding the endpoint of hematocrit level drop after pelvic radiation therapy (RT).
    Methods and materials: Two hundred and twenty-one patients treated with RT for prostate adenocarcinoma between 2014 and 2016 were included. All patients had complete blood counts collected at baseline and 3 months post-RT. The net difference of hematocrit level post-RT versus baseline was calculated, and the level of the 15th percentiles defined the thresholds of response in each case. The doses to 8 different pelvic structures were derived and fitted to the hematocrit levels using the relative seriality normal tissue complication probability model and the biologically equivalent uniform dose (
    Results: Pelvic structures that correlated with significant decreases in hematocrit were the os coxae bilaterally superior to the acetabulum (OCUB), the total os coxae bilaterally, and the bone volume of the whole pelvis. The structure showing the highest correlation was OCUB with a maximum area under the curve (AUC) of 0.74. For V20 Gy < 30% the odds ratio was 9.8 with 95% CI of 2.9 to 32.9. For mean dose (D
    Conclusions: These findings confirm the association of radiation-induced damage to pelvic bone marrow with a drop in hematocrit. A threshold of V20 Gy < 30%, D

    Abstract There is a lack of information on the radiosensitivity of lymphocyte subgroups to radiation alone. CD4+ and CD8+ lymphocytes respond similarly. CD 19+ dropped most precipitously, but recovered to levels similar to the other subgroups by 3 months. NK cells decline more modestly and recover more fully by 3 months.

    Abstract Background: Fronto-orbital advancement and remodeling (FOAR) is among the most common surgical approaches for unicoronal craniosynostosis (UCS), although some data demonstrate failure to achieve long-term aesthetic normalcy, leading some to seek alternative treatment paradigms such as fronto-orbital distraction osteogenesis (FODO). This study compares long-term aesthetic outcomes of patients with UCS treated with FOAR and FODO.
    Methods: Twenty patients (four males) with non-syndromic UCS presenting to our institution and undergoing distraction were compared to a matched cohort of 20 patients (six males) undergoing FOAR. Clinical photographs and ImageJ were used to quantify periorbital anatomy including palpebral fissures, pupil-to-brow distance (PTB), and margin-reflex distance (MRD
    Results: Photogrammetric analysis and Mann-Whitney U tests demonstrated significantly improved postoperative symmetry in distraction patients for palpebral width (p = 0.020), MRD
    Conclusions: UCS patients demonstrated significant postoperative improvements in periorbital symmetry, with distraction patients demonstrating superior results in palpebral width and canthal tilt. FOAR and FODO patients achieved similar Whitaker classification scores. These cohorts will be followed until craniofacial maturity prior to making any definitive conclusions.

    Abstract Purpose: Elective pelvic lymph node radiotherapy (PLNRT) in prostate cancer is often omitted from definitive (n = 267) and post prostatectomy (n = 160) radiotherapy (RT) due to concerns regarding toxicity and efficacy. Data comparing patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) with or without PLNRT is limited. Our long-term supposition is that PLNRT, particularly to higher doses afforded by IMRT, will decrease pelvic failure rate in select patients. We aim to establish the impact of two different PLNRT doses on long term quality of life (QOL).
    Methods and materials: Prostate cancer patients (n = 428) recorded baseline scores using the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC), prior to definitive or post-prostatectomy RT. PLNRT, if given, was prescribed to 45 or 54 Gy at 1.8 Gy per fraction. New EPIC scores were recorded 20-36 months after radiotherapy. Absolute change in each domain subscale and summary score was recorded, along with if these changes met minimally important difference (MID) criteria. A separate multivariate analysis (MVA) was performed for each measure. Subsequent dosimetric analysis was performed.
    Results: Frequency of a MID decline was significantly greater with PLNRT to 54 Gy for urinary function, incontinence, and overall. No urinary decline was correlated with PLNRT to 45 Gy. PLNRT to 54 Gy was significant for decline in urinary function, bother, irritative, incontinence, and overall score in one or both MVA models while 45 Gy was not. Postoperative status was significant for decline in urinary function, incontinence, and overall. Amongst postoperative patients, there was significantly greater decline in urinary function score in the salvage setting. Neither 54 nor 45 Gy significantly affected bowel subscale or overall score decline.
    Conclusions: Using conventional fractionation, adding PLNRT to 54 Gy, but not 45 Gy, correlates with worse urinary QOL, with postoperative patients experiencing a steeper decline. PLNRT had no significant impact on bowel QOL with either dose.

    Abstract Background: Prostate cancer treatment aims to prevent metastases and disease-specific mortality. Pathologic parameters have limited ability to predict these outcomes, but biomarkers can improve risk discrimination. We evaluated the ability of cell-cycle progression and combined cell-cycle risk scores to predict metastases and disease-specific mortality after prostatectomy.
    Methods: Eligibility included (1) treatment with radical prostatectomy (1985-1997); (2) cell-cycle progression score; (3) preoperative prostate-specific antigen; (4) no neoadjuvant therapy; and (5) clinical follow-up (N = 360). Cancer of the prostate risk assessment postsurgical score was combined with cell cycle progression into the prespecified combined cell-cycle risk score. Hazard ratios (HRs) are reported per unit score.
    Results: In total, 11% (41/360) developed metastases and 9% (33/360) experienced disease-specific mortality. Combined cell-cycle risk score predicted metastases and disease-specific mortality post-radical prostatectomy (p < 1 × 10
    Conclusion: Combined cell-cycle risk and cell cycle progression scores predict metastases and disease-specific mortality post-radical prostatectomy and should help identify patients at greatest risk of treatment failure who might benefit from earlier intervention.
