    Abstract Introduction: Non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) are the most common cancers in the USA, and their incidence is rising. Mohs micrographic surgery (MMS) is commonly performed to excise NMSCs. MMS replaced superficial radiotherapy (SRT) as a first line treatment, given its superior efficacy. Image-guided superficial radiation therapy (IGSRT) was invented to improve the precision of SRT. This study investigates how the 2-year recurrence probability of IGSRT-treated NMSCs compares to that of MMS-treated lesions.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort study compared the 2-year recurrence probability of early stage NMSCs (squamous and basal cell carcinomas (SCCs and BCCs)) treated by IGSRT (2,286 lesions) to data on NMSCs treated by MMS (5,391 lesions) via one sample proportion tests. Medical Subject Headings were used to search PubMed for reports of 2-year recurrence probability rates of NMSCs treated by MMS. Seventeen studies were screened; 14 studies were excluded for lack of 2-year time to event analysis, or irrelevant patient population (non-BCC/SCC study, advanced disease), leaving 3 studies for comparison.
    Results: IGSRT-treated NMSCs have a statistically significantly improved 2-year recurrence probability than those treated by MMS, P < 0.001 for pooled data.
    Conclusion: The 2-year recurrence probability IGSRT-treated NMSCs is superior to MMS-treated and supports IGSRT as an effective treatment option for individuals with early stage NMSCs.

    Abstract Purpose: The role of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) in the management of grade 2 and 3 meningiomas is not well elucidated. Unfortunately, local recurrence rates are high, and guidelines for management of recurrent disease are lacking. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted STORM, a multicenter retrospective cohort study of patients treated with primary SRS for recurrent grade 2 and 3 meningiomas.
    Methods and materials: Data on patients with recurrent grade 2 and 3 meningioma treated with SRS at first recurrence were retrospectively collected from eight academic centers in the United States. Patients with multiple lesions at the time of initial diagnosis or more than two lesions at the time of first recurrence were excluded from this analysis. Patient demographics and treatment parameters were extracted at time of diagnosis, first recurrence, and second recurrence. Oncologic outcomes including progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) as well as toxicity outcomes were reported at the patient level.
    Results: From 2000-2022, 108 patients were identified (94% grade 2, 6.0% grade 3). 106 patients (98%) had upfront surgical resection (60% gross-total resection) with 18% receiving adjuvant radiotherapy (RT). Median time to first progression was 2.5 years (IQR 1.34-4.30). At first recurrence, patients were treated with single or fractionated SRS to a median marginal dose of 16 Gy to a maximum of two lesions (87% received single fraction SRS). Median follow-up time after SRS was 2.6 years. 1-, 2-, and 3-year PFS was 90%, 75%, and 57%, respectively after treatment with SRS. 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS was 97%, 94%, and 92%, respectively. On multivariable analysis, grade 3 disease (HR 6.80; 95% CI 1.61-28.6), male sex (HR 3.48; 95% CI 1.47-8.26), and receipt of prior RT (HR 2.69; 95% CI 1.23-5.86) were associated with worse PFS. SRS dose and tumor volume were not correlated with progression. Treatment was well-tolerated, with a 3.0% incidence of grade 2+ radiation necrosis.
    Conclusions: This is the largest multi-center study to evaluate salvage SRS in recurrent grade 2 and 3 meningiomas. In this select cohort of patients with primarily grade 2 meningioma with potentially more favorable natural history of delayed, localized first recurrence amenable to salvage SRS, local control rates and toxicity profiles were favorable, warranting further prospective validation.

    Abstract Background: Treatment decision-making in oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC) includes clinical stage, HPV status, and smoking history. Despite improvements in staging with separation of HPV-positive and -negative OPSCC in AJCC 8th edition (AJCC8), patients are largely treated with a uniform approach, with recent efforts focused on de-intensification in low-risk patients. We have previously shown, in a pooled analysis, that the genomic adjusted radiation dose (GARD) is predictive of radiation treatment benefit and can be used to guide RT dose selection. We hypothesize that GARD can be used to predict overall survival (OS) in HPV-positive OPSCC patients treated with radiotherapy (RT).
    Methods: Gene expression profiles (Affymetrix Clariom D) were analyzed for 234 formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded samples from HPV-positive OPSCC patients within an international, multi-institutional, prospective/retrospective observational study including patients with AJCC 7th edition stage III-IVb. GARD, a measure of the treatment effect of RT, was calculated for each patient as previously described. In total, 191 patients received primary RT definitive treatment (chemoradiation or RT alone, and 43 patients received post-operative RT. Two RT dose fractionations were utilized for primary RT cases (70 Gy in 35 fractions or 69.96 Gy in 33 fractions). Median RT dose was 70 Gy (range 50.88-74) for primary RT definitive cases and 66 Gy (range 44-70) for post-operative RT cases. The median follow up was 46.2 months (95% CI, 33.5-63.1). Cox proportional hazards analyses were performed with GARD as both a continuous and dichotomous variable and time-dependent ROC analyses compared the performance of GARD with the NRG clinical nomogram for overall survival.
    Results: Despite uniform radiation dose utilization, GARD showed significant heterogeneity (range 30-110), reflecting the underlying genomic differences in the cohort. On multivariable analysis, each unit increase in GARD was associated with an improvement in OS (HR = 0.951 (0.911, 0.993), p = 0.023) compared to AJCC8 (HR = 1.999 (0.791, 5.047)), p = 0.143). ROC analysis for GARD at 36 months yielded an AUC of 80.6 (69.4, 91.9) compared with an AUC of 73.6 (55.4, 91.7) for the NRG clinical nomogram. GARD≥64.2 was associated with improved OS (HR = 0.280 (0.100, 0.781), p = 0.015). In a virtual trial, GARD predicts that uniform RT dose de-escalation results in overall inferior OS but proposes two separate genomic strategies where selective RT dose de-escalation in GARD-selected populations results in clinical equipoise.
    Conclusions: In this multi-institutional cohort of patients with HPV-positive OPSCC, GARD predicts OS as a continuous variable, outperforms the NRG nomogram and provides a novel genomic strategy to modern clinical trial design. We propose that GARD, which provides the first opportunity for genomic guided personalization of radiation dose, should be incorporated in the diagnostic workup of HPV-positive OPSCC patients.

    Abstract Background: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is increasingly used for patients with recurrent and or metastatic tumors. Sarcomas are generally considered not sensitive to radiotherapy and SBRT may allow for increased biological effectiveness. We report intermediate outcomes and toxicity for pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients treated with SBRT to sites of recurrent and or metastatic sarcoma.
    Procedure: We queried an Institutional Review Board-approved registry of patients treated with SBRT for metastases from pediatric sarcomas. Patients age 29 and below were assessed for local control, survival, and toxicity.
    Results: Thirty-one patients with a total of 88 lesions met eligibility criteria. Median patient age was 17.9 years at treatment. Sixteen patients were treated with SBRT to >1 site of disease. The median dose was 30 Gy in 5 fractions. The median follow-up time was 7.4 months (range: 0.2 to 31.4 mo). Patients were heavily pretreated with systemic therapy. In 57 lesions with >3 months of radiographic follow-up, the 6-month and 12-month local control rates were 88.3%±4.5% and 83.4%±5.5%, respectively. Radiographic local failures were rare (6/57 in-field, 4/57 marginal). Only 1/88 treated lesions was associated with a radiation-related high-grade toxicity; late grade 3 intestinal obstruction in a re-irradiated field while on concurrent therapy (gemcitabine and docetaxel). No acute grade ≥3 toxicity was observed.
    Conclusions: SBRT was well tolerated in the majority of patients with favorable local control outcomes. Additional studies will be required to determine the optimal SBRT dose and fractionation, treatment volume, and appropriate concurrent therapies.

    Abstract Background: Despite advances in cancer genomics, radiotherapy is still prescribed on the basis of an empirical one-size-fits-all paradigm. Previously, we proposed a novel algorithm using the genomic-adjusted radiation dose (GARD) model to personalise prescription of radiation dose on the basis of the biological effect of a given physical dose of radiation, calculated using individual tumour genomics. We hypothesise that GARD will reveal interpatient heterogeneity associated with opportunities to improve outcomes compared with physical dose of radiotherapy alone. We aimed to test this hypothesis and investigate the GARD-based radiotherapy dosing paradigm.
    Methods: We did a pooled, pan-cancer analysis of 11 previously published clinical cohorts of unique patients with seven different types of cancer, which are all available cohorts with the data required to calculate GARD, together with clinical outcome. The included cancers were breast cancer, head and neck cancer, non-small-cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, endometrial cancer, melanoma, and glioma. Our dataset comprised 1615 unique patients, of whom 1298 (982 with radiotherapy, 316 without radiotherapy) were assessed for time to first recurrence and 677 patients (424 with radiotherapy and 253 without radiotherapy) were assessed for overall survival. We analysed two clinical outcomes of interest: time to first recurrence and overall survival. We used Cox regression, stratified by cohort, to test the association between GARD and outcome with separate models using dose of radiation and sham-GARD (ie, patients treated without radiotherapy, but modelled as having a standard-of-care dose of radiotherapy) for comparison. We did interaction tests between GARD and treatment (with or without radiotherapy) using the Wald statistic.
    Findings: Pooled analysis of all available data showed that GARD as a continuous variable is associated with time to first recurrence (hazard ratio [HR] 0·98 [95% CI 0·97-0·99]; p=0·0017) and overall survival (0·97 [0·95-0·99]; p=0·0007). The interaction test showed the effect of GARD on overall survival depends on whether or not that patient received radiotherapy (Wald statistic p=0·011). The interaction test for GARD and radiotherapy was not significant for time to first recurrence (Wald statistic p=0·22). The HR for physical dose of radiation was 0·99 (95% CI 0·97-1·01; p=0·53) for time to first recurrence and 1·00 (0·96-1·04; p=0·95) for overall survival. The HR for sham-GARD was 1·00 (0·97-1·03; p=1·00) for time to first recurrence and 1·00 (0·98-1·02; p=0·87) for overall survival.
    Interpretation: The biological effect of radiotherapy, as quantified by GARD, is significantly associated with time to first recurrence and overall survival for patients with cancer treated with radiation. It is predictive of radiotherapy benefit, and physical dose of radiation is not. We propose integration of genomics into radiation dosing decisions, using a GARD-based framework, as the new paradigm for personalising radiotherapy prescription dose.

    Abstract Introduction: Prior in silico simulations of studies of Temporally Feathered Radiation Therapy (TFRT) have demonstrated potential reduction in normal tissue toxicity. This R-IDEAL Stage 1/2A study seeks to demonstrate the first-in-human implementation of TFRT in treating patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
    Materials and methods: Patients with HNSCC treated with definitive radiation therapy were eligible (70 Gy in 35 fractions) were eligible. The primary endpoint was feasibility of TFRT planning as defined by radiation start within 15 business days of CT simulation. Secondary endpoints included estimates of acute grade 3-5 toxicity.
    Results: The study met its accrual goal of 5 patients. TFRT plans were generated in four of the five patients within 15 business days of CT simulation, therefore meeting the primary endpoint. One patient was not treated with TFRT at the physician's discretion, though the TFRT plan had been generated within sufficient time from the CT simulation. For patients who received TFRT, the median time from CT simulation to radiation start was 10 business days (range 8-15). The average time required for radiation planning was 6 business days. In all patients receiving TFRT, each subplan and every daily fraction was delivered in the correct sequence without error. The OARs feathered included: oral cavity, each submandibular gland, each parotid gland, supraglottis, and posterior pharyngeal wall (OAR pharynx). Prescription dose PTV coverage (>95%) was ensured in each TFRT subplan and the composite TFRT plan. One of five patients developed an acute grade 3 toxicity.
    Conclusions: This study demonstrates the first-in-human implementation of TFRT (R-IDEAL Stage 1), proving its feasibility in the modern clinical workflow. Additionally, assessments of acute toxicities and dosimetric comparisons to a standard radiotherapy plan were described (R-IDEAL Stage 2a).

    Abstract Objectives: Previous prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy studies delivered uniform doses of 35 to 40 Gy/5 fx. Attempts at uniform dose escalation to 50 Gy caused high rates of gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity. We hypothesize that heterogeneous dose escalation to regions nonadjacent to sensitive structures (urethra, rectum, and bladder) is safe and efficacious.
    Materials and methods: Patients were enrolled on a prospective pilot study. The primary endpoint was treatment-related GI and genitourinary (GU) toxicity. The secondary endpoints included quality of life (QOL) assessed by the EPIC-26 questionnaire and biochemical control. The target volume received 36.25 Gy/5 fx. The target >3 mm from sensitive was dose escalated to 50 Gy/5 fx.
    Results: Thirty-five patients were enrolled. Three patients had low, 14 intermediate, and 18 high-risk disease. The mean initial prostate specific antigen was 15.1 ng/mL. Androgen deprivation therapy was given to 19 patients. Median follow-up was 46 months. Urinary irritation/obstructive and urinary bother scores declined by minimal clinically important difference threshold from baseline at 6 weeks, but subsequently recovered by 4 months. No differences in QOL scores were observed for urinary incontinence, bowel domain, bloody stools, or sexual domain. One patient developed acute grade 4 GU toxicity and acute grade 4 GI toxicity. The incidence of late high grade toxicity was 1/35 for GU toxicity and 2/35 for GI toxicity. Freedom from biochemical failure at 3 years was 88.0%.
    Conclusions: Heterogeneous dose-escalated prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy is feasible with low rates of acute and late toxicities and favorable QOL outcomes in patients with predominantly intermediate-risk and high-risk prostate cancer.
