IR involves the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in targeted tissues. This is associated with subsequent cardiac dysfunction when applied during chest radiotherapy. We hypothesized that IR (i.e., ROS)-dependently impaired cardiac myocytes' Ca handling might contribute to IR-dependent cardiocellular dysfunction. Isolated ventricular mouse myocytes and the mediastinal area of anaesthetized mice (that included the heart) were exposed to graded doses of irradiation (sham 4 and 20 Gy) and investigated acutely (after similar to 1 h) as well as chronically (after similar to 1 week). IR induced a dose-dependent effect on myocytes' systolic function with acutely increased, but chronically decreased Ca transient amplitudes, which was associated with an acutely unaltered but chronically decreased sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca load. Likewise, in vivo echocardiography of anaesthetized mice revealed acutely enhanced left ventricular contractility (strain analysis) that declined after 1 week. Irradiated myocytes showed persistently increased diastolic SR Ca leakage, which was acutely compensated by an increase in SR Ca reuptake. This was reversed in the chronic setting in the face of slowed relaxation kinetics. As underlying cause, acutely increased ROS levels were identified to activate Ca/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII). Accordingly, CaMKII-, but not PKA-dependent phosphorylation sites of the SR Ca release channels (RyR2, at Ser-2814) and phospholamban (at Thr-17) were found to be hyperphosphorylated following IR. Conversely, ROS-scavenging as well as CaMKII-inhibition significantly attenuated CaMKII-activation, disturbed Ca handling, and subsequent cellular dysfunction upon irradiation. Targeted cardiac irradiation induces a biphasic effect on cardiac myocytes Ca handling that is associated with chronic cardiocellular dysfunction. This appears to be mediated by increased oxidative stress and persistently activated CaMKII. Our findings suggest impaired cardiac myocytes Ca handling as a so far unknown mediator of IR-dependent cardiac damage that might be of relevance for radiation-induced cardiac dysfunction."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00395-013-0385-6"],["dc.identifier.isi","000324877000001"],["dc.identifier.pmid","24068185"],["dc.identifier.purl","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gs-1/10300"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/28721"],["dc.identifier.url","https://sfb1002.med.uni-goettingen.de/production/literature/publications/51"],["dc.notes.intern","Merged from goescholar"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002: Modulatorische Einheiten bei Herzinsuffizienz"],["dc.relation","SFB 1002 | A03: Bedeutung CaMKII-abhängiger Mechanismen für die Arrhythmogenese bei Herzinsuffizienz"],["dc.relation.issn","0300-8428"],["dc.relation.workinggroup","RG L.

Methods and Materials: From 1991 to 2009, 72 patients with anal carcinoma were treated at our department (10 patients had stage I, 28 patients had stage II, 11 patients had stage IIIA, and 13 patients had stage IIIB cancer [Union Internationale Contre le Cancer criteria]). All patients received normofractionated (1.8 Gy/day, five times/week) whole-pelvis irradiation including iliac and inguinal lymph nodes with a cumulative dose of 50.4 Gy. Concomitant chemotherapy regimen consisted of two cycles of 5-fluorouracil (1,000 mg/m(2)total body surface area (TBSA)/day as continuous intravenous infusion on days 1-4 and 29-32) and mitomycin C (10 mg/m(2)/TBSA, intravenously on days 1 and 29). Toxicity during treatment was monitored weekly, and any incidence of Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) grade of for skin reaction, cystitis, proctitis, or enteritis was assessed as high-grade acute organ toxicity for later analysis. Results: We found significant correlation between high-grade acute organ toxicity and overall survival, locoregional control, and stoma-free survival, which was independent in multivariate analysis from other possible prognostic factors: patients with a CTC acute organ toxicity grade of >= 3 had a 5-year overall survival rate of 97% compared to 30% in patients without (p < 0.01, multivariate analysis; 97% vs. 48%,p = 0.03 for locoregional control, and 95% vs. 59%, p = 0.05 for stoma-free survival). Conclusions: Our data indicate that normal tissue and tumor tissue may behave similarly with respect to treatment response, since high-grade acute organ toxicity during radiochemotherapy showed itself to be an independent prognostic marker in our patient population.

Treatment consisted of neck dissection alone in 8, irradiation or chemoradiation in 5, combined surgery and radiotherapy in 28, and surgery and radiochemotherapy in 17. Results: The 3-year and 5-year overall survival rates for all patients were 52.9% and 40.9%, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year disease-specific Survival rates were 50.9% and 39.7%, respectively. The 3-year and 5-year neck control rates were 73.7% and 67.3%, respectively. Neck dissection followed by radiochemotherapy was associated with the best 3-year and 5-year locoregional control rates. Extracapsular extension was a predictor of survival, but not of neck control.

Materials and Methods: Institutional review board approval was obtained for this retrospective study. From September 1994 to October 2008, 294 HNSCC patients were treated with adjuvant radiation and chemotherapy at the authors' department. They received normofractionated (2 Gy per fraction) irradiation to include associated nodal drainage sites, for a cumulative dose of 60-64 Gy. From January 2002 to December 2009, 91 patients received additional concomitant cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Toxicity during treatment was monitored weekly according to the common toxicity criteria (CTC); any CTC toxicity grade 3 or higher, including mucositis, dysphagia, or skin reaction, was considered high-grade acute organ toxicity. The influence of possible prognostic factors on overall survival and locoregional control was studied by means of uni- and multivariate Cox regression. Results: A statistically significant association was found between high-grade acute organ toxicity and both overall survival and locoregional control. Patients with CTC grade 3 or greater acute organ toxicity had a 5-year overall survival and locoregional control rate of 90% and 97%, respectively, as compared with 24% and 74%, respectively, in patients without such toxicity (P < .01). Multivariate analyses revealed that this association was independent from other factors that may influence treatment toxicity, especially concomitant chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. Conclusion: The data suggest that normal tissue and tumor tissue may behave similarly with respect to treatment response, as high-grade acute organ toxicity during radiation and chemotherapy was associated with better outcomes in the patient population; therefore, the hypothesis should be further analyzed on the biomolecular and clinical level and with other tumor entities in prospective clinical trials.

However, trials are currently being conducted to improve the complete remission rates and the systemic control by combining 5-FU with oxaliplatin. The primary objective was to identify the subgroups of rectal cancer patients who were at risk for high-grade toxicity. All 196 patients who were included in the present study were treated with 50.4 Gy and chemotherapy that included either 5-FU (n = 115) or 5-FU + oxaliplatin (n + 81). The preoperative RCT was followed by a total mesorectal excision and adjuvant chemotherapy. Acute toxicity was monitored weekly and a toxicity grade >= 3 (Common Toxicity Criteria) for a skin reaction, cystitis, proctitis, or enteritis was defined as high-grade acute organ toxicity. After RCT with 5-FU + oxaliplatin, complete tumor remission was achieved in 13.6% of the patients and in 11.3% after RCT with 5-FU alone. Complete irradiation dosages of 50.4 Gy were given to 99% (5-FU) and 95% (5-FU + oxaliplatin) of the patients. Concomitant chemotherapy was fully administered in 95% of the patients treated with 5-FU compared with the 84% of patients treated with 5-FU + oxaliplatin. A significantly higher proportion of acute organ toxicity was found in the patients who were treated with 5-FU + oxaliplatin compared with those who were treated with 5-FU. Additionally, women with a low body mass index were at the highest risk for acute organ toxicity. These results suggest that there are basic clinical parameters, such as gender and body mass index, that may be potential markers for generating individual risk profiles of RCT-induced toxicity.

Patients and Methods: 20 patients who underwent radiotherapy for prostate cancer were included in this prospective evaluation. All patients had a computed tomography (CT) scan for planning of the external-beam irradiation and additional scans after each HDR brachytherapy. For the planning target volume (PTV), a safety margin of 10 mm was added to the clinical target volume (CTV) in each direction. The prostate volume measured in the planning CT was compared with the prostate volumes measured after HDR brachytherapy and, subsequently, the change of prostate volume was calculated. Volume changes which resulted in differences of the prostate radius of > 5 mm for the CTV were defined as a reason for a new treatment-planning procedure for the patient. Results: Taking all patients together, prostate volumes before HDR, 1 day and 4-6 days after the first HDR treatment, as well as 1 day and 4-6 days after the second HDR treatment were in median 37.7 cm(3), 37.6 cm(3), 38.2 cm(3), 39.3 cm(3), and 40.5 cm(3), respectively. In none of the patient, a volume change resulted in a change of the prostate radius of > 5 mm for the CTV. Prerequisite for this calculation was the simplification of the complex prostate geometry to a sphere. No new treatment-planning procedure was necessary during external-beam radiotherapy. Conclusion: HDR brachytherapy does change the prostate volume. Under the condition of a 10-mm safety margin in each direction added to the CTV for the PTV, no new treatment-planning procedure was necessary after HDR brachytherapy. There is no need for CT scans at regular intervals during external-beam radiotherapy."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1007/s00066-009-1942-7"],["dc.identifier.isi","000268224700008"],["dc.identifier.pmid","19506824"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/16733"],["dc.notes.status","zu prĂĽfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Urban & Vogel"],["dc.relation.issn","0179-7158"],["dc.title","The Impact of Prostate Volume Changes during External-Beam Irradiation in Consequence of HDR Brachytherapy in Prostate Cancer Treatment"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
