    Abstract Background: Adaptive radiation treatment (ART) for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) requires consistently accurate segmentation of the extremely mobile gastrointestinal (GI) organs at risk (OAR) including the stomach, duodenum, large and small bowel. Also, due to lack of sufficiently accurate and fast deformable image registration (DIR), accumulated dose to the GI OARs is currently only approximated, further limiting the ability to more precisely adapt treatments.
    Purpose: Develop a 3-D Progressively refined joint Registration-Segmentation (ProRSeg) deep network to deformably align and segment treatment fraction magnetic resonance images (MRI)s, then evaluate segmentation accuracy, registration consistency, and feasibility for OAR dose accumulation.
    Method: ProRSeg was trained using five-fold cross-validation with 110 T2-weighted MRI acquired at five treatment fractions from 10 different patients, taking care that same patient scans were not placed in training and testing folds. Segmentation accuracy was measured using Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and Hausdorff distance at 95th percentile (HD95). Registration consistency was measured using coefficient of variation (CV) in displacement of OARs. Statistical comparison to other deep learning and iterative registration methods were done using the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by pair-wise comparisons with Bonferroni correction applied for multiple testing. Ablation tests and accuracy comparisons against multiple methods were done. Finally, applicability of ProRSeg to segment cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans was evaluated on a publicly available dataset of 80 scans using five-fold cross-validation.
    Results: ProRSeg processed 3D volumes (128 × 192 × 128) in 3 s on a NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPU. It's segmentations were significantly more accurate (
    Conclusions: ProRSeg produced more accurate and consistent GI OARs segmentation and DIR of MRI and CBCTs compared to multiple methods. Preliminary results indicates feasibility for OAR dose accumulation using ProRSeg.

    Abstract Standard doses of conventionally fractionated radiation have had minimal to no impact on the survival duration of patients with locally advanced unresectable pancreatic cancer (LAPC). The use of low-dose stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) in 3- to 5-fractionshas thus far produced a modest improvement in median survival with minimal toxicity and shorter duration of treatment, but failed to produce a meaningful difference at 2 years and beyond. A much higher biologically effective dose (BED) is likely needed to achieve tumor ablation The challenge is the delivery of ablative doses near the very sensitive gastrointestinal tract. Advanced organ motion management, image guidance, and adaptive planning techniques enable delivery of ablative doses of radiation (> = 100Gy BED) when more protracted hypofractionated regimens or advanced image guidance and adaptive planning are used. This approach has resulted in encouraging improvements in survival in several studies. This review will summarize the evolution of the radiation technique over time from conventional to ablative and describe the practical aspects of delivering ablative doses near the GI tract using cone beam CT image (CBCT) guidance and online adaptive MRI guidance.

    Abstract Background and purpose: Prognostic assessment of local therapies for colorectal liver metastases (CLM) is essential for guiding management in radiation oncology. Computed tomography (CT) contains liver texture information which may be predictive of metastatic environments. To investigate the feasibility of analyzing CT texture, we sought to build an automated model to predict progression-free survival using CT radiomics and artificial intelligence (AI).
    Materials and methods: Liver CT scans and outcomes for N = 97 CLM patients treated with radiotherapy were retrospectively obtained. A survival model was built by extracting 108 radiomic features from liver and tumor CT volumes for a random survival forest (RSF) to predict local progression. Accuracies were measured by concordance indices (C-index) and integrated Brier scores (IBS) with 4-fold cross-validation. This was repeated with different liver segmentations and radiotherapy clinical variables as inputs to the RSF. Predictive features were identified by perturbation importances.
    Results: The AI radiomics model achieved a C-index of 0.68 (CI: 0.62-0.74) and IBS below 0.25 and the most predictive radiomic feature was gray tone difference matrix strength (importance: 1.90 CI: 0.93-2.86) and most predictive treatment feature was maximum dose (importance: 3.83, CI: 1.05-6.62). The clinical data only model achieved a similar C-index of 0.62 (CI: 0.56-0.69), suggesting that predictive signals exist in radiomics and clinical data.
    Conclusions: The AI model achieved good prediction accuracy for progression-free survival of CLM, providing support that radiomics or clinical data combined with machine learning may aid prognostic assessment and management.

    Abstract Purpose: Beam gating with deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) usually depends on some external surrogate to infer internal target movement, and the exact internal movement is unknown. In this study, we tracked internal targets and characterized residual motion during DIBH treatment, guided by a surface imaging system, for gastrointestinal cancer. We also report statistics on treatment time.
    Methods and materials: We included 14 gastrointestinal cancer patients treated with surface imaging-guided DIBH volumetrically modulated arc therapy, each with at least one radiopaque marker implanted near or within the target. They were treated in 25, 15, or 10 fractions. Thirteen patients received treatment for pancreatic cancer, and one underwent separate treatments for two liver metastases. The surface imaging system monitored a three-dimensional surface with ± 3 mm translation and ± 3° rotation threshold. During delivery, a kilovolt image was automatically taken every 20° or 40° gantry rotation, and the internal marker was identified from the image. The displacement and residual motion of the markers were calculated. To analyze the treatment efficiency, the treatment time of each fraction was obtained from the imaging and treatment timestamps in the record and verify system.
    Results: Although the external surface was monitored and limited to ± 3 mm and ± 3°, significant residual internal target movement was observed in some patients. The range of residual motion was 3-21 mm. The average displacement for this cohort was 0-3 mm. In 19% of the analyzed images, the magnitude of the instantaneous displacement was > 5 mm. The mean treatment time was 17 min with a standard deviation of 4 min.
    Conclusions: Precaution is needed when applying surface image guidance for gastrointestinal cancer treatment. Using it as a solo DIBH technique is discouraged when the correlation between internal anatomy and patient surface is limited. Real-time radiographic verification is critical for safe treatments.

    Abstract Purpose: Stent has often been used as an internal surrogate to monitor intrafraction tumor motion during pancreatic cancer radiotherapy. Based on the stent contours generated from planning CT images, the current intrafraction motion review (IMR) system on Varian TrueBeam only provides a tool to verify the stent motion visually but lacks quantitative information. The purpose of this study is to develop an automatic stent recognition method for quantitative intrafraction tumor motion monitoring in pancreatic cancer treatment.
    Methods: A total of 535 IMR images from 14 pancreatic cancer patients were retrospectively selected in this study, with the manual contour of the stent on each image serving as the ground truth. We developed a deep learning-based approach that integrates two mechanisms that focus on the features of the segmentation target. The objective attention modeling was integrated into the U-net framework to deal with the optimization difficulties when training a deep network with 2D IMR images and limited training data. A perceptual loss was combined with the binary cross-entropy loss and a Dice loss for supervision. The deep neural network was trained to capture more contextual information to predict binary stent masks. A random-split test was performed, with images of ten patients (71%, 380 images) randomly selected for training, whereas the rest of four patients (29%, 155 images) were used for testing. Sevenfold cross-validation of the proposed PAUnet on the 14 patients was performed for further evaluation.
    Results: Our stent segmentation results were compared with the manually segmented contours. For the random-split test, the trained model achieved a mean (±standard deviation) stent Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), 95% Hausdorff distance (HD95), the center-of-mass distance (CMD), and volume difference
    Conclusion: We developed a novel deep learning-based approach to automatically segment the stent from IMR images, demonstrated its clinical feasibility, and validated its accuracy compared to manual segmentation. The proposed technique could be a useful tool for quantitative intrafraction motion monitoring in pancreatic cancer radiotherapy.

    Abstract The liver tumor immune microenvironment has been thought to possess a critical role in the development and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Despite the approval of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), such as programmed cell death receptor 1 (PD-1)/programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) and cytotoxic T lymphocyte associated protein 4 (CTLA-4) inhibitors, for several types of cancers, including HCC, liver metastases have shown evidence of resistance or poor response to immunotherapies. Radiation therapy (RT) has displayed evidence of immunosuppressive effects through the upregulation of immune checkpoint molecules post-treatment. However, it was revealed that the limitations of ICIs can be overcome through the use of RT, as it can reshape the liver immune microenvironment. Moreover, ICIs are able to overcome the RT-induced inhibitory signals, effectively restoring anti-tumor activity. Owing to the synergetic effect believed to arise from the combination of ICIs with RT, several clinical trials are currently ongoing to assess the efficacy and safety of this treatment for patients with HCC.

    Abstract Purpose: Colorectal liver metastases (CLMs) represent a radioresistant histology. We aimed to investigate CLM radiation therapy (RT) outcomes and explore the association with treatment parameters.
    Methods and materials: This retrospective analysis of CLM treated with RT at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center used Kaplan-Meier analysis to estimate freedom from local progression (FFLP), hepatic progression-free, progression-free, and overall survival (OS). Cox proportional hazards regression was used to evaluate association with clinical factors. Dose-response relationship was further evaluated using a mechanistic tumor control probability (TCP) model.
    Results: Ninety patients with 122 evaluable CLMs treated 2006 to 2019 with a variety of RT fractionation schemes with a median biologically effective dose (α/β = 10; BED10) of 97.9 Gy (range, 43.2-187.5 Gy) were included. Median lesion size was 3.5 cm (0.7-11.8 cm). Eighty-seven patients (97%) received prior systemic therapy, and 73 patients (81%) received prior liver-directed therapy. At a median follow-up of 26.4 months, rates of FFLP and OS were 62% (95% CI, 53%-72%) and 75% (66%-84%) at 1 year and 42% (95% CI, 32%-55%) and 44% (95% CI, 34%-57%) at 2 years, respectively. BED10 below 96 Gy and receipt of ≥3 lines of chemotherapy were associated with worse FFLP (hazard ratio [HR], 2.69; 95% CI, 1.54-4.68;
    Conclusions: In a large single-institution series of heavily pretreated patients with CLM undergoing liver RT, low BED10 and multiple prior lines of systemic therapy were associated with lower local control and OS. These results support continued dose escalation efforts for patients with CLM.

    Abstract Purpose: The optimal dose and fractionation of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC) have not been defined. Single-fraction SBRT was associated with more gastrointestinal toxicity, so 5-fraction regimens have become more commonly employed. We aimed to determine the safety and maximally tolerated dose of 3-fraction SBRT for LAPC.
    Methods and materials: Two parallel phase 1 dose escalation trials were conducted from 2016 to 2019 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and University of Colorado. Patients with histologically confirmed LAPC without distant progression after at least 2 months of induction chemotherapy were eligible. Patients received 3-fraction linear accelerator-based SBRT at 3 dose levels, 27, 30, and 33 Gy, following a modified 3+3 design. Dose-limiting toxicity, defined as grade ≥3 gastrointestinal toxicity within 90 days, was scored by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4. The secondary endpoints included cumulative incidence of local failure (LF) and distant metastasis (DM), as well as progression-free and overall survival PFS and OS, respectively, toxicity, and quality of life (QoL) using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and the pancreatic cancer-specific QLQ-PAN26 questionnaire.
    Results: Twenty-four consecutive patients were enrolled (27 Gy: 9, 30 Gy: 8, 33 Gy: 7). The median (range) age was 67 (52-79) years, and 12 (50%) had a head/uncinate tumor location, with a median tumor size of 3.8 (1.1-11) cm and CA19-9 of 60 (1-4880) U/mL. All received chemotherapy for a median of 4 (1.4-10) months. There were no grade ≥3 toxicities. Two-year rates (95% confidence interval) of LF, DM, PFS, and OS were 31.7% (8.6%-54.8%), 70.2% (49.7%-90.8%), 20.8% (4.6%-37.1%), and 29.2% (11.0%-47.4%), respectively. Three- and 6-month QoL assessment showed no detriment.
    Conclusions: For select patients with LAPC, dose escalation to 33 Gy in 3 fractions resulted in no dose-limiting toxicities, no detriments to QoL, and disease outcomes comparable with conventional RT. Further exploration of SBRT schemes to maximize tumor control while enabling efficient integration with systemic therapy is warranted.

    Abstract We describe a dataset from patients who received ablative radiation therapy for locally advanced pancreatic cancer (LAPC), consisting of computed tomography (CT) and cone-beam CT (CBCT) images with physician-drawn organ-at-risk (OAR) contours. The image datasets (one CT for treatment planning and two CBCT scans at the time of treatment per patient) were collected from 40 patients. All scans were acquired with the patient in the treatment position and in a deep inspiration breath-hold state. Six radiation oncologists delineated the gastrointestinal OARs consisting of small bowel, stomach and duodenum, such that the same physician delineated all image sets belonging to the same patient. Two trained medical physicists further edited the contours to ensure adherence to delineation guidelines. The image and contour files are available in DICOM format and are publicly available from The Cancer Imaging Archive ( https://doi.org/10.7937/TCIA.ESHQ-4D90 , Version 2). The dataset can serve as a criterion standard for evaluating the accuracy and reliability of deformable image registration and auto-segmentation algorithms, as well as a training set for deep-learning-based methods.
