Article Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate clinical outcomes and the toxicity of intensity-modulated radiation therapy with simultaneous integrated boost (SIB-IMRT) combined with androgen-deprivation therapy for clinically node-positive (cN1) prostate cancer. We retrospectively analyzed 97 patients with cN1 prostate cancer who received SIB-IMRT between June 2008 and October 2017 at our hospital. The prescribed dosages delivered to the prostate and seminal vesicle, elective node area, and residual lymph nodes were 69, 54, and 60 Gy in 30 fractions, respectively. Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to determine 5-year biochemical relapse-free survival (bRFS), relapse-free survival (RFS), overall survival (OS), and prostate cancer-specific survival (PCSS). Toxicity was evaluated using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events ver. 4.0. Over a median follow-up duration of 60 months, the 5-year bRFS, RFS, OS, and PCSS were 85.1%, 88.1%, 92.7% and 95.0%, respectively. Acute Grade 2 genito-urinary (GU) and gastro-intestinal (GI) toxicities were observed in 10.2% and 2.1%, respectively, with no grade ≥3 toxicities being detected. The cumulative incidence rates of 5-year Grade ≥2 late GU and GI toxicities were 4.7% and 7.4%, respectively, with no Grade 4 toxicities being detected. SIB-IMRT for cN1 prostate cancer demonstrated favorable 5-year outcomes with low incidences of toxicity.

Optimizing Workflow for Cone Beam Computed Tomography-Based Online Adaptive Radiation Therapy Toward Reduced Physician Involvement.

Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, corporate member of Freie Universität Berlin and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Department of Radiation Oncology and Radiotherapy, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany.
Purpose: To evaluate the impact of an optimized online adaptive radiation therapy workflow on physician involvement.
Methods And Materials: Data from a prospective phase 2 trial involving 34 prostate cancer patients treated with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-based online adaptive radiation therapy (62 Gy in 20 fractions) were analyzed. Manual interventions were required for 2 steps in the workflow: radiation therapy technologist review and adjustment of automatically segmented organs, guiding target segmentation, so-called "influencer," while physicians reviewed and refined the targets.
SLC16A3 (MCT4) expression in tumor immunity and Metabolism: Insights from pan-cancer analysis.
Biochem Biophys Rep

The Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China.
Background: SLC16A3, a highly expressed H + -coupled symporter, facilitates lactate transport via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), contributing to acidosis. Although SLC16A3 has been implicated in tumor development, its role in tumor immunity remains unclear.
Methods: A pan-cancer analysis was conducted using datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia, and Genotype-Tissue Expression projects.
Development of a novel risk model to predict CRPC progression following IMRT: Implications for tailoring treatment intensity.

Objectives: To develop a novel risk score (RS) model to predict the probability of progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) (CRPC) after intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for patients with high- and very high-risk PCa according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) risk classification, since accurate prediction of the clinical outcome of definitive radiation therapy for patients with high- and very high-risk PCa remains challenging due to its heterogeneity.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 600 patients with high- and very high-risk PCa treated with IMRT at our institution. They were randomly divided into discovery (n = 300) and validation (n = 300) cohorts.
Optimizing dose rate to minimize delivery time in proton pencil beam dose-driven continuous scanning.

Department of Radiation Oncology, Mayo Clinic in Florida, Jacksonville, Florida, USA.
Background: Dose-driven continuous scanning (DDCS) enhances the efficiency and precision of proton pencil beam delivery by reducing beam pauses inherent in discrete spot scanning (DSS). However, current DDCS optimization studies using traveling salesman problem (TSP) formulations often rely on fixed beam intensity and computationally expensive interpolation for move spot generation, limiting efficiency and methodological robustness.
Purpose: This study introduces a Break Spot-Guided (BSG) method, combined with two acceleration strategies-dose rate skipping and bounding-to optimize beam intensity while minimizing beam delivery time (BDT).
Prostate cancer characteristics in fathers and risk of early onset high-risk prostate cancer in sons.

A family history of prostate cancer in first-degree relatives is an established risk factor for prostate cancer, but the specific associations between prostate cancer characteristics in fathers and the risk of high-risk prostate cancer in their sons remain unclear. We identified men in Prostate Cancer data Base Sweden whose fathers had been diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1998-2005. We compared the observed number of prostate cancer diagnoses in these men with the expected number in the Swedish male population, estimating standardized incidence ratios (SIR).
