Detecting Metastatic Patterns of Oligometastatic Breast Cancer: A Comparative Analysis of 18F-FDG PET/CT and Conventional CT Imaging. J Nucl Med 2024; 65:845-850. [PMID: 38637138 DOI: 10.2967/jnumed.123.266925] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/23/2023] [Revised: 03/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/20/2024] Open
Abstract
Metastasis-directed therapy has the potential to improve progression-free and overall survival in oligometastatic disease (OMD). For breast cancer, however, randomized trials have failed so far to confirm this finding. Because the concept of metastasis-directed therapy in OMD is highly dependent on the accuracy of the imaging modality, we aimed to assess the impact of 18F-FDG PET/CT on the definition of OMD in breast cancer patients. Methods: Eighty patients with a total of 150 18F-FDG PET/CT images (between October 2006 and January 2022) were enrolled in this retrospective study at the Technical University of Munich. The inclusion criteria were OMD, defined as 1-5 distant metastases, at the time of 18F-FDG PET/CT. For the current study, we systemically compared the metastatic pattern on 18F-FDG PET/CT with conventional CT. Results: At the time of 18F-FDG PET/CT, 21.3% of patients (n = 32) had a first-time diagnosis of metastatic disease, 40.7% (n = 61) had a previous history of OMD, and 38% (n = 57) had a previous history of polymetastatic disease. In 45.3% of cases, the imaging modality (18F-FDG PET/CT vs. conventional CT) had an impact on the assessment of whether OMD was present. An identical metastatic pattern was observed in only 32% of cases.18F-FDG PET/CT detected additional metastases in 33.3% of cases, mostly in the nonregional lymph node system. Conclusion: The use of 18F-FDG PET/CT had a substantial impact on the definition of OMD and detection of metastatic pattern in breast cancer. Our results emphasize the importance of establishing a standardized definition for imaging modalities in future trials and clinical practices related to metastasis-directed therapy in breast cancer patients.

Abstract
Background Lenvatinib or Sorafenib combined with programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitor as recommend treatment of advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with extrahepatic metastasis (EHM). We aimed to compared the prognosis of Lenvatinib plus PD-1 inhibitor (Len+PD-1) versus Sorafenib plus PD-1 (Sora+PD-1) as an initial therapy for HCC with EHM. Methods Incorporating a sum of 229 HCC patients with EHM were encompassed within this study, with 127 in the Sora+PD-1 group and 102 in the Len+PD-1 group. Through propensity score matching (PSM), we compared overall survival (OS), progression-free survival (PFS), and patient safety between these two groups. Results The median OS were 13.0 months and 14.2 months in the Sora+PD-1 group and Len+PD-1 group. The 6-, 12-, and 24-month OS rates were 92.9%, 58.9% and 5.6% in Sora+PD-1 group and 93.1%, 61.8% and 22.6% in Len+PD-1 group, respectively. The Len+PD-1 group had obviously better OS than the Sora+PD-1 group (P = 0.002). The 3-, 6-, and 12-month PFS rates were 76.4%, 27.6% and 1.6% in Sora+PD-1 group and 86.2%, 50.5% and 12.2% in Len+PD-1 group, respectively. Compared with Sora+PD-1 group, the Len+PD-1 group had obviously better PFS (P < 0.001). Analysis within subgroups showed that OS was significant in patients receiving TACE in Len+PD-1 group than Sora+PD-1 group (p = 0.003). Conclusion Len+PD-1 group had longer OS and PFS than Sora+PD-1 group for patient with EHM. In addition, OS in patients received TACE was improved with Len+PD-1 treatment. For patients without TACE, there was no significance between Sora+PD-1 and Len+PD-1 groups.

Osimertinib plus local treatment for brain metastases versus osimertinib alone in patients with EGFR-Mutant Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer. Lung Cancer 2024; 191:107540. [PMID: 38614069 DOI: 10.1016/j.lungcan.2024.107540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/10/2024] [Revised: 03/14/2024] [Accepted: 03/20/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Osimertinib is a standard treatment for patients with EGFR-mutant non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is highly effective for brain metastases (BMs). However, it is unclear whether local treatment (LT) for BMs prior to osimertinib administration improves survival in EGFR-mutant NSCLC. We aimed to reveal the survival benefit of upfront local treatment (LT) for BMs in patients treated with osimertinib. MATERIALS AND METHODS This multicenter retrospective study included consecutive patients with EGFR mutation (19del or L858R)-positive NSCLC who had BMs before osimertinib initiation between August 2018 and October 2021. We compared overall survival (OS) and central nervous system progression-free survival (CNS-PFS) between patients who received upfront LT for BMs (the upfront LT group), and patients who received osimertinib only (the osimertinib-alone group). Inverse-probability treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis was performed to adjust for potential confounding factors. RESULTS Of the 121 patients analyzed, 57 and 64 patients had 19del and L858R, respectively. Forty-five and 76 patients were included in the upfront LT group and the osimertinib-alone groups, respectively. IPTW-adjusted Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the OS of the upfront LT group was significantly longer than that of the osimertinib-alone group (median, 95 % confidence intervals [95 %CI]: Not reached [NR], NR-NR vs. 31.2, 21.7-33.2; p = 0.021). The hazard ratio (HR) for OS and CNS-PFS was 0.37 (95 %CI, 0.16-0.87) and 0.36 (95 %CI, 0.15-0.87), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The OS and CNS-PFS of patients who received upfront LT for BMs followed by osimertinib were significantly longer than those of patients who received osimertinib alone. Upfront LT for BMs may be beneficial in patients with EGFR-mutant NSCLC treated with osimertinib.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Metastatic prostate cancer (PCa) continues to be an invariably fatal condition. While historically, de-novo metastatic PCa was primarily treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and systemic therapy, there is a growing trend toward incorporating local treatments in the early management of the disease. This is particularly applicable to men with oligometastatic PCa (OMPC), which represents an 'intermediate phase' between localized and disseminated metastatic disease. Local treatment offers an opportunity for disease control before it progresses to a more advanced stage. This review discussed the current evidence for local treatment options for OMPC. RECENT FINDINGS Currently, it has been suggested that men with OMPC may have a more indolent course and, therefore, favorable outcomes may be observed with metastasis-directed therapy (MDT). This review will not address the role of MDT to patients with OMPC but will focus on local treatments of the primary disease. The three main forms of local therapy employed for OMPC are cryotherapy, radiation therapy, and cytoreductive prostatectomy (CRP). Whole gland cryotherapy, either with ADT or with ADT and systemic chemotherapy, has shown some limited promising results. Radiation therapy combined with ADT has also demonstrated improvements in progression-free survival in clinical trials (primarily STAMPEDE Arm G and HORRAD). CRP often combined with ADT has emerged as a potential strategy for managing OMPC, with promising findings primarily from retrospective studies. Currently, several randomized controlled trials are underway to further investigate the role of CRP in the oligometastatic setting. SUMMARY OMPC has become a unique category of disease with specific therapeutic implications. Lack of robust clinical data renders treatment selection controversial. Further studies with long follow up are necessary to identify men with oligometastatic disease who will benefit from local treatment.

Abstract
Background Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is often delivered in patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD). However, the specific subset of patients with polymetastatic non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) on novel systemic therapies who develop induced oligopersistant disease (OpersisD) or oligoprogressive disease (OprogD), as defined by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) OMD classification, has not been well described. This study explores the outcomes of patients treated with this strategy. Methods Patients with stage IV NSCLC being treated with osimertinib or immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) who received extracranial SBRT for OpersisD or OprogD were identified in our retrospective analysis. Outcomes reported include progression-free survival (PFS), time to change of systemic treatment (TTCST), overall survival (OS), local control (LC) and treatment-related toxicity. Results Forty-nine patients received SBRT for OpersisD (34.7%) or OprogD (65.3%) at a median of 5.8 and 15.3 months after start of systemic therapy, respectively. 55.1% received concurrent osimertinib and 44.9% received ICI. Seventy-seven extracranial lesions were treated with various fractionation schemas. At a median of 18.8 months follow-up from first SBRT, LC was achieved in 92.2% of total lesions treated (71). The 1-year OS was 91.7% for OpersisD and 83.3% for OprogD. OpersisD compared to OprogD had a longer median PFS (18.3 vs. 6.1 months) and longer median TTCST (23.6 vs. 13.5 months), median OS was not reached for either cohort. On multivariate analysis, patients treated with osimertinib had shorter PFS (HR: 2.20; 95% CI: 1.01-4.82; P=0.048) and shorter TTCST (HR: 2.83; 95% CI: 1.09-7.33; P=0.032). One patient (2%) experienced grade 3 pneumonitis after SBRT, and no grade 4-5 toxicities were reported with SBRT treatment. Conclusions This study indicates that SBRT for OpersisD or OprogD in Stage IV NSCLC patients on osimertinib or ICIs is safe, very well tolerated, and may prolong the time before needing a shift in systemic therapy. Further prospective research is needed to validate and expand upon these findings.

Abstract
Soft tissue sarcomas are a rare and heterogeneous disease. For localized disease, treatment is based on surgery and radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy depending on risk factors. Upfront metastases are present in 7 to 20% of cases, and are localized to the lungs in most of cases. Disseminated disease is generally considered incurable but in selected cases, aggressive local treatment of metastases allowed long survival. Treatment of primary tumour is often debated. Our purpose is to evaluate the literature concerning the role of radiotherapy in the management of primary metastatic soft tissue sarcomas.

Abstract
The pace of technological innovation over the past three decades has transformed the field of radiotherapy into one of the most technologically intense disciplines in medicine. However, the global barriers to access this highly effective treatment are complex and extend beyond technological limitations. Here, we review the technological advancement and current status of radiotherapy and discuss the efforts of the global radiation oncology community to formulate a more integrative 'diagonal approach' in which the agendas of science-driven advances in individual outcomes and the sociotechnological task of global cancer control can be aligned to bring the benefit of this proven therapy to patients with cancer everywhere.

Abstract
The term "oligometastasis" represents a relatively novel idea, which denotes a condition characterized by cancer dissemination with a limited number of lesions (usually fewer than five). The aim of the present study is to report a bibliometric analysis of the oligometastatic disease/state, incorporating all relevant studies on the topic for more than 20 years. The research strategy included at least one the terms "Oligmetastases", "Oligometastasis", "Oligometastatic", "Oligoprogression, "Oligoprogressive", "Oligorecurrent", or "Oligorecurrency" in the title, abstract, and/or keywords. All English-language documents from 1 January 1995 (the year of the earliest available document in Scopus) to 31 December 2022 were considered for the analysis. R code (R version 4.2.0) with R Studio (version 2022.12.0-353) and the Bibliometrix package (version 4.0.1) were used for the analysis. A total of 3304 documents, mainly articles (n = 2083, 63.0%) and reviews (n = 813, 24.6%), were collected from 1995 to 2022. The average annual growth rate of literature on the topic was 26.7%. Overall 15,176 authors published on the topic, with an average of eight authors/publication. From 1995, 69 countries contributed to the literature, with the USA and Italy being the top contributors. Among all keywords used by authors, the top three were oligometastases (19%), SBRT (18%), and radiation therapy (8%). Themes regarding "locoregional treatment", "organ motion", and "immunotherapy" were the most recent trend topics, mainly developed from 2019 to 2022, while "high-dose chemotherapy", "whole-brain radiotherapy", and "metastatic breast cancer" saw their main development during 2009-2018. Our study shows the exceptionally flourishing scientific production on the oligometastatic state, summarizing the most influential studies and highlighting the future developments and interests. This analysis will serve as a benchmark to identify this area for the attention of researchers worldwide and contribute to the increasing scientific work.

Effectiveness of lenvatinib plus immune checkpoint inhibitors in primary advanced hepatocellular carcinoma beyond oligometastasis. Clin Transl Med 2023; 13:e1214. [PMID: 36855781 PMCID: PMC9975463 DOI: 10.1002/ctm2.1214] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/14/2022] [Revised: 02/15/2023] [Accepted: 02/20/2023] [Indexed: 03/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Targeted therapy combined with immune checkpoint inhibitors is considered a promising treatment for primary advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Nevertheless, the difference between synchronous and asynchronous treatment of lenvatinib with programmed death receptor-1 (PD-1) inhibitor in advanced HCC is still unclear. The aim of this investigation is to evaluate the effectiveness of synchronous and asynchronous of lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor on the advanced HCC beyond oligometastasis. METHODS In this study, 213 patients from four institutions in China were involved. Patients were split into two collections: (1) lenvatinib plus PD-1 inhibitor were used synchronously (synchronous treatment group); (2) patients in asynchronous treatment group received PD-1 inhibitor after 3 months of lenvatinib treatment prior to tumour progression. To analyse progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), efficacy and safety of patients in both groups, we employed propensity score matching (PSM). RESULTS The 6-, 12- and 24-month OS rates were 100%, 93.4% and 58.1% in the synchronous treatment group and 100%, 71.5% and 25.3% in the asynchronous treatment group, respectively. In contrast to the asynchronous treatment group, the group treated synchronously exhibited a substantially enhanced OS (hazard ratio [HR], 0.45; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.30-0.66; p < .001). The 6-, 12- and 18-month PFS rates were 82.6%, 42.6% and 10.8% in the synchronous treatment group and 63.3%, 14.2% and 0% in the asynchronous treatment group, respectively. A significant difference was observed in the PFS rate (HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.33-0.63; p < .001) between the two collections. CONCLUSIONS Patients with advanced HCC beyond oligometastasis, simultaneous administration of lenvatinib and PD-1 inhibitor led to significant improvements in survival.

Contemporary Treatment Outcome of Metastases to the Pituitary Gland. World Neurosurg 2023; 172:e684-e694. [PMID: 36764447 DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2023.02.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/30/2022] [Revised: 01/31/2023] [Accepted: 02/01/2023] [Indexed: 02/11/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Metastasis to the pituitary gland is uncommon. With life expectancy after cancer diagnosis improving, we sought to understand the effects of treating pituitary metastasis in the modern era of advanced cancer treatment. METHODS Patients who had been diagnosed with, and treated for, pituitary metastasis from 2000 to 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS A total of 48 patients were identified, of whom 23 (48%) were women. The most common primary cancer was the lung (n = 23; 48%), followed by the breast (n = 9; 19%). Of the 48 patients, 29 (60%) had had hypopituitarism and 12 (25%), visual field deficits. Twenty-seven patients (56%) had had solitary pituitary metastasis, with no evidence of other intracranial metastatic lesions. Of the 48 patients, 14 (29%) had undergone surgery and 20 (42%) had undergone standalone radiation therapy (preceded by biopsy for 3). After surgery and/or radiation therapy, the visual field deficits had improved in 6 patients, hypopituitarism had improved in 4 patients, and hypopituitarism had occurred in 3 patients. The median overall survival (OS) was 12 months (interquartile range, 3.0-28 months). Multivariate analysis showed nonsolitary pituitary metastasis (hazard ratio, 2.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.5-5.5; P = 0.0021) and no surgery or radiation therapy (hazard ratio, 2.08; 95% confidence interval, 1.04-4.15; P = 0.038) were associated with OS. For those with solitary pituitary metastasis, the patients who had undergone surgery and/or radiation therapy had had better 1-year OS than patients who had not received either (P = 0.03). In contrast, for patients with nonsolitary pituitary metastasis, those who had undergone standalone radiation therapy had had better 1-year OS than the patients who had not received either (P = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS In the selected population, metastasis-directed therapy was associated with improved OS. Either correct patient selection for additional therapy or surgery and/or radiation therapy directly benefited patients' OS.

Definitive Local Consolidative Therapy for Oligometastatic Solid Tumors: Results From the Lead-in Phase of the Randomized Basket Trial EXTEND. Int J Radiat Oncol Biol Phys 2022; 114:910-918. [PMID: 35691448 PMCID: PMC11041161 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijrobp.2022.05.023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2022] [Revised: 05/01/2022] [Accepted: 05/07/2022] [Indexed: 10/18/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE The benefit of local consolidative therapy (LCT) for oligometastasis across histologies remains uncertain. EXTernal beam radiation to Eliminate Nominal metastatic Disease (EXTEND; NCT03599765) is a randomized phase 2 basket trial evaluating the effectiveness of LCT for oligometastatic solid tumors. We report here the prospective results of the single-arm "lead-in" phase intended to identify histologies most likely to accrue to histology-specific endpoints in the randomized phase. METHODS AND MATERIALS Eligible histologies included colorectal, sarcoma, lung, head and neck, ovarian, renal, melanoma, pancreatic, prostate, cervix/uterine, breast, and hepatobiliary. Patients received LCT to all sites of active metastatic disease and primary/regional disease (as applicable) plus standard-of-care systemic therapy or observation. The primary endpoint in EXTEND was progression-free survival (PFS), and the primary endpoint of the lead-phase was histology-specific accrual feasibility. Adverse events were graded by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0. RESULTS From August 2018 through January 2019, 50 patients were enrolled and 49 received definitive LCT. Prostate, breast, and kidney were the highest enrolling histologies and identified for independent accrual in the randomization phase. Most patients (73%) had 1 or 2 metastases, most often in lung or bone (79%), and received ablative radiation (62%). Median follow-up for censored patients was 38 months (range, 16-42 months). Median PFS was 13 months (95% confidence interval, 9-24), 3-year overall survival rate was 73% (95% confidence interval, 57%-83%), and local control rate was 98% (93 of 95 tumors). Two patients (4%) had Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events grade 3 toxic effects related to LCT; no patient had grade 4 or 5 toxic effects. CONCLUSIONS The prospective lead-in phase of the EXTEND basket trial demonstrated feasible accrual, encouraging PFS, and low rates of severe toxic effects at mature follow-up. The randomized phase is ongoing with histology-based baskets that will provide histology-specific evidence for LCT in oligometastatic disease.

Comparing Outcomes of Oligometastases Treated with Hypofractionated Image-Guided Radiotherapy (HIGRT) with a Simultaneous Integrated Boost (SIB) Technique versus Metastasis Alone: A Multi-Institutional Analysis. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14102403. [PMID: 35626008 PMCID: PMC9139819 DOI: 10.3390/cancers14102403] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Revised: 05/04/2022] [Accepted: 05/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Simple Summary Hypofractionated image-guided radiotherapy (HIGRT) is a common method in which high doses of radiation are delivered to treat oligometastatic disease. We have previously reported on the clinical outcomes of treating oligometastases with radiation using an elective simultaneous integrated boost technique (SIB), delivering higher doses to known metastases and reduced doses to adjacent bone or nodal basins. Here we compare outcomes of oligometastases receiving radiation targeting metastases alone (MA) versus those treated via an SIB. Both SIB and MA irradiation of oligometastases achieved high rates of tumor metastases control and similar pain control. Further investigation of this technique with prospective trials is warranted. Abstract Purpose: We previously reported on the clinical outcomes of treating oligometastases with radiation using an elective simultaneous integrated boost technique (SIB), delivering higher doses to known metastases and reduced doses to adjacent bone or nodal basins. Here we compare outcomes of oligometastases receiving radiation targeting metastases alone (MA) versus those treated via an SIB. Methods: Oligometastatic patients with ≤5 active metastases treated with either SIB or MA radiation at two institutions from 2013 to 2019 were analyzed retrospectively for treatment-related toxicity, pain control, and recurrence patterns. Tumor metastasis control (TMC) was defined as an absence of progression in the high dose planning target volume (PTV). Marginal recurrence (MR) was defined as recurrence outside the elective PTV but within the adjacent bone or nodal basin. Distant recurrence (DR) was defined as any recurrence that is not within the PTV or surrounding bone or nodal basin. The outcome rates were estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method and compared between the two techniques using the log-rank test. Results: 101 patients were treated via an SIB to 90 sites (58% nodal and 42% osseous) and via MA radiation to 46 sites (22% nodal and 78% osseous). The median follow-up among surviving patients was 24.6 months (range 1.4–71.0). Of the patients treated to MA, the doses ranged from 18 Gy in one fraction (22%) to 50 Gy in 10 fractions (50%). Most patients treated with an SIB received 50 Gy to the treated metastases and 30 Gy to the elective PTV in 10 fractions (88%). No acute grade ≥3 toxicities occurred in either cohort. Late grade ≥3 toxicity occurred in 3 SIB patients (vocal cord paralysis and two vertebral body compression), all related to the high dose PTV and not the elective volume. There was similar crude pain relief between cohorts. The MR-free survival rate at 2 years was 87% (95% CI: 70%, 95%) in the MA group and 98% (95% CI: 87%, 99%) in the SIB group (p = 0.07). The crude TMC was 89% (41/46) in the MA group and 94% (85/90) in the SIB group. There were no significant differences in DR-free survival (65% (95% CI: 55–74%; p = 0.24)), disease-free survival (60% (95% CI: 40–75%; p = 0.40)), or overall survival (88% (95% CI: 73–95%; p = 0.26)), between the MA and SIB cohorts. Conclusion: Both SIB and MA irradiation of oligometastases achieved high rates of TMC and similar pain control, with a trend towards improved MR-free survival for oligometastases treated with an SIB. Further investigation of this technique with prospective trials is warranted.

Abstract
Introduction and background Through recent advances in cancer care, the number of long-term survivors has continuously increased. As a result, repetitive use of local radiotherapy for curative or palliative indications might have increased as well. This analysis aims to describe patterns of care and outcome of patients treated with multiple courses of repeat radiotherapy. Materials and methods All patients treated with radiotherapy between 2011 and 2019 at our department of Radiation Oncology were included into this analysis. A course of radiotherapy was defined as all treatment sessions to one anatomical site under one medical indication. Demographics, cancer and treatment characteristics and overall survival of patients having undergone multiple radiotherapy courses (minimum n = 5) were evaluated. Results The proportion of cancer patients treated with a minimum five courses of radiotherapy increased continuously from 0.9% in 2011 to 6.5% in 2019. In the 112 patients treated with a minimum of five radiotherapy courses, the primary tumor was lung in 41.9% (n = 47), malignant melanoma in 8.9% (n = 10) and breast in 8.0% (n = 9) of cases. A median interval of 3 years (maximum 8 years) elapsed between the first and the last radiotherapy course. The maximum number of courses in a single patient were n = 10. Treatment intent was curative or palliative in 46.4% and 53.6% for the first radiotherapy, respectively. The proportion of curative intent decreased to 11.6% at the 5th, and the last radiotherapy course was following a palliative intent in all patients. Five-year overall survival measured from the 1st radiotherapy course was 32.7%. Median overall survival was 3.3, 2.4, 1.3, and 0.6 years when measured from the 1st, the 1st palliative, the 5th and last course of radiotherapy, respectively. Discussion and conclusion A continuously increasing number of patients is treated with multiple courses of radiotherapy throughout their long-term cancer survivorship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) acts as the key enzyme catabolizing pyrimidines, and may affect the tumor progression. DPYD gene mutations affect DPD activity. The relationship between DPYD IVS14+1G>A, c.1627A>G, c.85T>C and lymph node metastasis (LNM) and distant metastasis (DM) of colorectal cancer (CRC) was investigated. METHODS A total of 537 CRC patients were enrolled in this study. DPYD polymorphisms were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-Sanger sequencing. The relationship between DPYD genotypes and clinical features of patients, metastasis of CRC was analyzed. RESULTS About DPYD c.1627A>G, A/A (57.7%) was the most common genotype, followed by A/G (35.6%), G/G (6.7%) genotypes. In c.85T>C, T/T, T/C, and C/C genotypes are accounted for 83.6%, 16.0%, and 0.4%, respectively. Logistic regression analysis revealed that DPYD c.1627A>G A/G and G/G genotypes in the dominant model (A/G + G/G vs. A/A) were significant risk factors for the LNM (p = 0.029, OR 1.506, 95% CI = 1.048-2.165) and DM (p = 0.039, OR 1.588, 95% CI = 1.041-2.423) of CRC. In addition, DPYD c.1627A>G polymorphism was more common in patients with abnormal serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) (>5 ng/ml) (p = 0.003) or carbohydrate antigen 24-2 (CA24-2) (>20 U/ml) level (p = 0.015). CONCLUSIONS The results suggested that DPYD c.1627A>G A/G, G/G genotypes are associated with increased risk of LNM and DM of CRC.
