    Abstract Objectives: Post-therapy pneumonitis (PTP) is a relevant side effect of thoracic radiotherapy and immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors (ICI). The influence of the combination of both, including dose fractionation schemes on PTP development is still unclear. This study aims to improve the PTP risk estimation after radio(chemo)therapy (R(C)T) for lung cancer with and without ICI by investigation of the impact of dose fractionation on machine learning (ML)-based prediction.
    Materials and methods: Data from 100 patients who received fractionated R(C)T were collected. 39 patients received additional ICI therapy. Computed Tomography (CT), RT segmentation and dose data were extracted and physical doses were converted to 2-Gy equivalent doses (EQD2) to account for different fractionation schemes. Features were reduced using Pearson intercorrelation and the Boruta algorithm within 1000-fold bootstrapping. Six single (clinics, Dose Volume Histogram (DVH), ICI, chemotherapy, radiomics, dosiomics) and four combined models (radiomics + dosiomics, radiomics + DVH + Clinics, dosiomics + DVH + Clinics, radiomics + dosiomics + DVH + Clinics) were trained to predict PTP. Dose-based models were tested using physical dose and EQD2. Four ML-algorithms (random forest (rf), logistic elastic net regression, support vector machine, logitBoost) were trained and tested using 5-fold nested cross validation and Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) for resampling in R. Prediction was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) on the test sets of the outer folds.
    Results: The combined model of all features using EQD2 surpassed all other models (AUC = 0.77, Confidence Interval CI 0.76-0.78). DVH, clinical data and ICI therapy had minor impact on PTP prediction with AUC values between 0.42 and 0.57. All EQD2-based models outperformed models based on physical dose.
    Conclusions: Radiomics + dosiomics based ML models combined with clinical and dosimetric models were found to be suited best for PTP prediction after R(C)T and could improve pre-treatment decision making. Different RT dose fractionation schemes should be considered for dose-based ML approaches.

    Abstract Purpose: To summarize evidence on the comparative value of amino acid (AA) PET and conventional MRI for prediction of overall survival (OS) in patients with recurrent high grade glioma (rHGG) under bevacizumab therapy.
    Methods: Medical databases were screened for studies with individual data on OS, follow-up MRI, and PET findings in the same patient. MRI images were assessed according to the RANO criteria. A receiver operating characteristic curve analysis was used to predict OS at 9 months.
    Results: Five studies with a total of 72 patients were included. Median OS was significantly lower in the PET-positive than in the PET-negative group. PET findings predicted OS with a pooled sensitivity and specificity of 76% and 71%, respectively. Corresponding values for MRI were 32% and 82%. Area under the curve and sensitivity were significantly higher for PET than for MRI.
    Conclusion: For monitoring of patients with rHGG under bevacizumab therapy, AA-PET should be preferred over RANO MRI.

    Abstract Introduction: Pneumonitis is a relevant side effect after radiotherapy (RT) and immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). Since the effect is radiation dose dependent, the risk increases for high fractional doses as applied for stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) and might even be enhanced for the combination of SBRT with ICI therapy. Hence, patient individual pre-treatment prediction of post-treatment pneumonitis (PTP) might be able to support clinical decision making. Dosimetric factors, however, use limited information and, thus, cannot exploit the full potential of pneumonitis prediction.
    Methods: We investigated dosiomics and radiomics model based approaches for PTP prediction after thoracic SBRT with and without ICI therapy. To overcome potential influences of different fractionation schemes, we converted physical doses to 2 Gy equivalent doses (EQD2) and compared both results. In total, four single feature models (dosiomics, radiomics, dosimetric, clinical factors) were tested and five combinations of those (dosimetric+clinical factors, dosiomics+radiomics, dosiomics+dosimetric+clinical factors, radiomics+dosimetric+clinical factors, radiomics+dosiomics+dosimetric+clinical factors). After feature extraction, a feature reduction was performed using pearson intercorrelation coefficient and the Boruta algorithm within 1000-fold bootstrapping runs. Four different machine learning models and the combination of those were trained and tested within 100 iterations of 5-fold nested cross validation.
    Results: Results were analysed using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC). We found the combination of dosiomics and radiomics features to outperform all other models with AUC
    Conclusion: Our results suggest that combined dosiomics and radiomics analysis can improve PTP prediction in patients treated with lung SBRT. We conclude that pre-treatment prediction could support clinical decision making on an individual patient basis with or without ICI therapy.

    Abstract Clival tumors present challenging entities regarding their treatment options. Due to their proximity to critical neurovascular structures, the operative goal of gross total tumor resection is rendered more difficult by a high risk of neurological deficits. Retrospective cohort study of patients treated for clival neoplasms through a transnasal endoscopic approach between 2009 and 2020. Assessment of preoperative clinical status, length of operation, number of approaches, pre- and postoperative radiotherapy, and the clinical outcome. Presentation and clinical correlation with our new classification. In total, 59 transnasal endoscopic operations were performed on 42 patients over 12 years. Most lesions were clival chordomas; 63% of the lesions did not reach the brainstem. Cranial nerve impairment was present in 67% of the patients, and 75% of the patients with cranial nerve palsy improved after surgical treatment. Interrater reliability for our proposed tumor extension classification showed a substantial agreement (Cohen's κ = 0.766). The transnasal approach was sufficient to achieve a complete tumor resection in 74% of the patients. Clival tumors exhibit heterogeneous characteristics. Depending on clival tumor extension, the transnasal endoscopic approach can present a safe surgical technique for upper and middle clival tumor resection, with a low risk of perioperative complications and a high rate of postoperative improvement.

    Abstract Background: Despite advances in treatment for brain metastases (BMs), the prognosis for recurrent BMs remains poor and requires further research to advance clinical management and improve patient outcomes. In particular, data addressing the impact of tumor volume and surgical resection with regard to survival remain scarce.
    Methods: Adult patients with recurrent BMs between December 2007 and December 2022 were analyzed. A distinction was made between operated and non-operated patients, and the residual tumor burden (RTB) was determined by using (postoperative) MRI. Survival analysis was performed and RTB cutoff values were calculated using maximally selected log-rank statistics. In addition, further analyses on systemic tumor progression and (postoperative) tumor therapy were conducted.
    Results: In total, 219 patients were included in the analysis. Median age was 60 years (IQR 52-69). Median preoperative tumor burden was 2.4 cm
    Conclusions: RTB is a strong prognostic factor for survival in patients with recurrent BMs. Operated patients with recurrent BMs showed longer survival independent of systemic progression. Maximal cytoreduction should be targeted to achieve better long-term outcomes.
