    Abstract Classical Hodgkin lymphoma is a lymphoproliferative disease with a good prognosis mainly seen in young people. Nevertheless secondary malignancy, cardiac disease and infertility may affect the long survivors with significant impact on quality of life, morbidity and overall survival. In the last decades several treatment strategies were evaluated to reduce the toxicity of first line treatment such as avoiding radiotherapy or its reduction in terms of dosage and extension. Many trials including interim Positron Emission Tomography evaluation fail to compare efficacy between combined modality treatment versus chemotherapy alone in particular in early stage disease. In this review we analyze which subset of patients could take advantage from proton therapy in terms of toxicity and cost effectiveness.

    Abstract Introduction: Stage III non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is a variable entity, encompassing bulky primary tumors, nodal involvement, or both. Multidisciplinary evaluation is essential to discuss multiple treatment options, to outline optimal management, and to examine the main debated topics and critical issues not addressed by current trials and guidelines that influence daily clinical practice.
    Areas covered: From March to 5 May 2021 ,meetings were scheduled in a webinar format titled 'Radio Talk' due to the COVID-19 pandemic; the faculty was composed of 6 radiation oncologists from 6 different Institutions of Italy, all of them were the referring radiation oncologist for lung cancer treatment at their respective departments and were or had been members of AIRO (Italian Association of Radiation Oncology) Thoracic Oncology Study Group. The topics covered included: pulmonary toxicity, cardiac toxicity, radiotherapy dose, fractionation and volumes, unfit/elderly patients, multidisciplinary management.
    Expert opinion: The debate was focused on the unmet needs triggered by case reports, personal experiences and questions; the answers were often not univocal; however, the exchange of opinion and the contribution of different centers confirmed the role of multidisciplinary management and the necessity that the most critical issues should be investigated in clinical trials.

    Abstract Mesothelioma is a malignancy of serosal membranes including the peritoneum, pleura, pericardium and the tunica vaginalis of the testes. Malignant mesothelioma (MM) is a rare disease with a global incidence in countries like Italy of about 1.15 per 100,000 inhabitants. Malignant Pleural Mesothelioma (MPM) is the most common form of mesothelioma, accounting for approximately 80% of disease. Although rare in the global population, mesothelioma is linked to industrial pollutants and mineral fiber exposure, with approximately 80% of cases linked to asbestos. Due to the persistent asbestos exposure in many countries, a worldwide progressive increase in MPM incidence is expected for the current and coming years. The tumor grows in a loco-regional pattern, spreading from the parietal to the visceral pleura and invading the surrounding structures that induce the clinical picture of pleural effusion, pain and dyspnea. Distant spreading and metastasis are rarely observed, and most patients die from the burden of the primary tumor. Currently, there are no effective treatments for MPM, and the prognosis is invariably poor. Some studies average the prognosis to be roughly one-year after diagnosis. The uniquely poor mutational landscape which characterizes MPM appears to derive from a selective pressure operated by the environment; thus, inflammation and immune response emerge as key players in driving MPM progression and represent promising therapeutic targets. Here we recapitulate current knowledge on MPM with focus on the emerging network between genetic asset and inflammatory microenvironment which characterize the disease as amenable target for novel therapeutic approaches.

    Abstract Introduction/background: This single-arm, phase 2, multi-center, study aims to assess the safety and efficacy of a regimen of induction chemo-immunotherapy followed by de-intensified, hypo-fractionated thoracic radiotherapy (RT) given concurrently with durvalumab and maintenance durvalumab in patients with unresectable, stage III NSCLC.
    Material and methods: we will enroll 45 patients with unresectable stage III NSCLC, any PD-L1, deemed ineligible for concurrent CRT by a thoracic oncology multidisciplinary team, and candidate to sequential chemoradiation followed by durvalumab.
    Results: Primary endpoint is safety, defined by the incidence of grade 3 and 4 possibly related adverse events (PRAEs) within 6 months from the initiation of treatment. The secondary objectives are PFS and OS (median and 12 months). Ancillary endpoints are molecular response evaluated by cfDNA isolation baseline, after chemo-immuno RT and at progression, and radiomics analysis on CT scans at baseline and before maintenance.
    Conclusion: DEDALUS phase 2 trial explores the safety and efficacy of a novel sequence of chemo-radiation (with de-intensified RT) plus the anti-PD-L1 agent durvalumab in patients with stage III unresectable NSCLC who are candidates to sequential chemoradiation plus maintenance immunotherapy.

    Abstract Follicular lymphoma (FL) is the most common subtype of indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoproliferative disorders. Treatment strategies for FL may include several therapeutic choices, ranging from a "watchful waiting" approach to stem cell transplantation, mostly depending on staging, age, risk factors, and disease burden at diagnosis. The high radiosensitivity of FL compared with other solid tumors has been known since the beginning of radiotherapy treatment in lymphoma patients. Doses of 24 to 40 Gy were considered appropriate in first line curative treatment for localized disease (stages I-II), but several publications investigating low-dose radiotherapy (LDRT) of 4Gy (2 × 2Gy) reported an overall response rate surprisingly high. Due to its high local efficacy and negligible toxicity, LDRT might be offered to both early and advanced stage FL patients in combination with new agents, at diagnosis or after several lines of systemic therapy. The aim of this review is to summarize and discuss the current knowledge on LDRT for FL and its potential application in a curative setting in combination with new drugs for both early and advanced disease.

    Abstract Purpose: We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, accuracy, and safety of Programmed Death-1/ Programmed Death-Ligand 1 (PD-1/ PD-L1) expression quantification in cytology cell-block samples obtained through transthoracic CT-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) from the interventional radiologist's perspective.
    Methods: We performed a consecutive unselected series of 361 CT-guided biopsies of pulmonary nodules and masses which came to our observation from June 2017 to October 2018. For each case, exhaustive clinical, morphologic, molecular and tomographic data were available. All the material obtained was fixed in formalin to obtain a cell-block for the pathologist, who performed immunohistochemical analysis to detect PD-L1 expression levels on each sample.
    Results: Of all the analyzed samples, 93.6% (338/361) were defined to be diagnostic, including neoplastic (72%, 260/361) and non-neoplastic lesions (21.6%, 78/361); only 6.4% (23/361) of them resulted in nondiagnostic specimens. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounted for 73.8% of neoplastic lesions (192/260): most of them were adenocarcinoma (83%, 160/192), followed by squamous carcinoma (14%, 27/192) and poorly differentiated carcinoma (3%, 5/192). In 96% of NSCLC (184/192), the diagnosis was reached either in the absence of complications or with early minor complications. PD-L1 expression was evaluated in all 192 NSCLC cytology specimens: 180 immunostainings were found to be adequate for PD-L1 testing. In 76% of cases, PD-L1 expression level was lower than 50%.
    Conclusion: The findings of our study indicate that PD-L1 quantification using a cell-block approach on CT-guided FNAC is a feasible and safe technique and should be taken into account alongside with core biopsy approach, especially in case of advanced disease and/or fragile and older patients.
