Abstract
In the recent decades, remarkable successes have been recorded in the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma to the point that today it represents one of the neoplasms with the highest rates of cure and with the highest life expectancy. Nonetheless, this raises the concern for the health of long- term survivors. Late side effects of treatments in synergy with other risk factors expose survivors to increased morbidity and impaired quality of life. In the complexity of the topics concerning these last aspects, an area of growing interest is that of bone damage that follows Hodgkin Lymphoma and its treatments. In this narrative review, we conducted our work through assessment of available evidence focusing on several aspects linking bone damage and quality of life with Hodgkin lymphoma and its treatments. At present, the problem of osteopenia and osteoporosis in Hodgkin lymphoma survivors is a theme for which awareness and knowledge need to be implemented.

Dosimetric Impact of Voluntary Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) in Mediastinal Hodgkin Lymphomas: A Comparative Evaluation of Three Different Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) Delivery Methods Using Voluntary DIBH and Free Breathing Techniques. Cancers (Basel) 2024; 16:690. [PMID: 38398081 PMCID: PMC10886974 DOI: 10.3390/cancers16040690] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2023] [Revised: 12/26/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Hodgkin lymphomas are radiosensitive and curable tumors that often involve the mediastinum. However, the application of radiation therapy to the mediastinum is associated with late effects including cardiac and pulmonary toxicities and secondary cancers. The adoption of conformal IMRT and deep inspiration breath- hold (DIBH) can reduce the dose to healthy normal tissues (lungs, heart and breast). We compared the dosimetry of organs at risk (OARs) using different IMRT techniques for two breathing conditions, i.e., deep inspiration breath hold (DIBH) and free breathing. Twenty-three patients with early-stage mediastinal Hodgkin lymphomas were accrued in the prospective study. The patients were given treatment plans which utilized full arc volumetric modulated arc therapy (F-VMAT), Butterfly VMAT (B-VMAT), and fixed field IMRT (FF-IMRT) techniques for both DIBH and free breathing methods, respectively. All the plans were optimized to deliver 95% of the prescription dose which was 25.2 Gy to 95% of the PTV volume. The mean dose and standard error of the mean for each OAR, conformity index (CI), and homogeneity index (HI) for the target using the three planning techniques were calculated and compared using Student's t-test for parametric data and Wilcoxon signed-rank test for non-parametric data. The HI and CI of the target was not compromised using the DIBH technique for mediastinal lymphomas. The mean values of CI and HI for both DIBH and FB were comparable. The mean heart doses were reduced by 2.1 Gy, 2.54 Gy, and 2.38 Gy in DIBH compared to FB for the F-VMAT, B-VMAT, and IMRT techniques, respectively. There was a significant reduction in V5Gy, V10Gy, and V15Gy to the heart (p < 0.005) with DIBH. DIBH reduced the mean dose to the total lung by 1.19 Gy, 1.47 Gy, and 1.3 Gy, respectively. Among the 14 female patients, there was a reduction in the mean right breast dose with DIBH compared to FB (4.47 Gy vs. 3.63 Gy, p = 0.004). DIBH results in lower heart, lung, and breast doses than free breathing in mediastinal Hodgkin Lymphoma. Among the different IMRT techniques, FF-IMRT, B-VMAT, and F-VMAT showed similar PTV coverage, with similar conformity and homogeneity indices. However, the time taken for FF-IMRT was much longer than for the F-VMAT and B-VMAT techniques for both breathing methods. B-VMAT and F-VMAT emerged as the optimal planning techniques able to achieve the best target coverage and lower doses to the OARs, with less time required to deliver the prescribed dose.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous research has already indicated an elevated risk of breast cancer (BC) among survivors of malignant lymphoma, but the underlying reasons remain unknown. Our objective is to elucidate the causal relationship between malignant lymphoma and BC through Mendelian randomization (MR). Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data from 181,125 Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients and 181,289 non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) patients from the FinnGen Consortium were utilized as exposure. We selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) strongly associated with the exposure as instrumental variables to investigate their relationship with BC in a cohort of 107,722 participants. Subsequently, we obtained data from the UK Biobank containing gender-stratified information on HL, NHL, and BC. We validated the findings from our analysis and explored the impact of gender. The Inverse-Variance Weighted (IVW) method served as the primary reference for the two-sample MR, accompanied by tests for heterogeneity and pleiotropy. RESULTS The analysis results from the FinnGen consortium indicate that there is no causal relationship between HL and NHL with BC. HL (OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.98-1.04, p = 0.29), NHL (OR = 1.01, 95% CI = 0.96-1.05, p = 0.64). When utilizing GWAS data from the UK Biobank that includes different gender cohorts, the lack of association between HL, NHL, and BC remains consistent. HL (OR = 1.08, 95% CI = 0.74-1.56, p = 0.69), HL-Female (OR = 0.84, 95% CI = 0.59-1.19, p = 0.33), NHL (OR = 0.89, 95% CI = 0.66-1.19, p = 0.44), and NHL-Female (OR = 0.81, 95% CI = 0.58-1.11, p = 0.18). CONCLUSIONS The two-sample MR analysis indicates that there is no significant causal relationship between malignant lymphoma (HL and NHL) and BC. The association between malignant lymphoma and breast cancer requires further in-depth research and exploration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Radiobiological modelling the risks of second primary cancer (SPC) after proton therapy (PT) for childhood cranial cancer remains largely unknown. Organ-specific dose-response risk factors such as radiosensitivity require exploration. This study compared the influence of radiosensitivity data (slope of βEAR) on children's lifetime attributable risks (LAR) of SPC development in out-of-field organs following cranial scattering and scanning PT. METHODS Out-of-field radiosensitivity parameter estimates for organs (α/β and βEAR) were sourced from literature. Physical distances for 13 out-of-field organs were measured and input into Schneider's SPC model. Sensitivity analyses were performed as a function of radiosensitivity (α/β of 1-10 Gy) and initial slope (βEAR) from Japanese/UK data to estimate the influence on the risk of radiation-induced SPC following scattering and scanning PT. RESULTS Models showed similar LAR of SPC estimates for age and sex-matched paediatric phantoms, however, for breast there was a significant increase using Japanese βEAR data. For most organs, scattering PT demonstrated a larger risk of LAR for SPC which increased with α/β. CONCLUSION Breast tissue exhibited the highest susceptibility in calculated LAR risk, demonstrating the importance for accurate data input when estimating LAR of SPC. ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE The findings of this study demonstrated younger female patients undergoing cranial proton therapy have a higher risk of developing second primary cancer of the breast tissue. Long-term multicenter registries are important to improve predictive radiobiological modelling studies of side effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This research endeavored to determine the key demographic and pathological factors tied to secondary malignant neoplasms (SMNs) in survivors of testicular cancer and to develop a predictive model. METHOD A total of 53,309 testicular cancer patients from the SEER national database (1975-2016) were included in our analysis. The primary outcome measured was SMNs-free survival, defined as the duration from testicular cancer diagnosis to the detection of a non-testicular malignancy. The secondary outcome was SMN-specific survival, defined as the period from testicular cancer diagnosis until the patient's death due to SMNs. FINDINGS Of the patients in the SEER cohort, 2978 (5.6%) developed non-testicular cancer SMNs. Higher age, receipt of chemotherapy, and radiation treatment were all significantly associated with the development of SMNs in survivors of testicular cancer (all p < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed a worse SMNs-free survival and poor SMN-specific survival in patients who underwent radiation therapy (both p < 0.001). Multivariable Cox regression analysis found non-Hispanic Black ethnicity, higher age, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy to be significantly associated with worse SMNs-free survival (p = 0.002, p < 0.001, p < 0.001, and p < 0.001, respectively), while lymphoma histology was associated with better SMNs-free survival (p < 0.001). The most common SMN types in patients receiving radiation therapy were prostate, lung, and bladder cancers. Predictive nomograms for SMNs-free survival and SMNs-specific survival were developed, with a C-index of 0.776 and 0.824, respectively. CONCLUSION The age of diagnosis, non-Hispanic Black ethnicity, lymphoma histology, and treatment history with chemotherapy and radiation therapy were identified as prognostic factors for SMNs-free survival.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite the advancements in multiagent chemotherapy in the past years, up to 10% of Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL) cases are refractory to treatment and, after remission, patients experience an elevated risk of death from all causes. These complications are dependent on the treatment and therefore an increase in the prognostic accuracy of HL can help improve these outcomes and control treatment-related toxicity. Due to the low incidence of this cancer, there is a lack of works comprehensively assessing the predictability of treatment response, especially by resorting to machine learning (ML) advances and high-throughput technologies. METHODS We present a methodology for predicting treatment response after two courses of Adriamycin, Bleomycin, Vinblastine and Dacarbazine (ABVD) chemotherapy, through the analysis of gene expression profiles using state-of-the-art ML algorithms. We work with expression levels of tumor samples of Classical Hodgkin's Lymphoma patients, obtained through the NanoString's nCounter platform. The presented approach combines dimensionality reduction procedures and hyperparameter optimization of various elected classifiers to retrieve reference predictability levels of refractory response to ABVD treatment using the regulatory profile of diagnostic tumor samples. In addition, we propose a data transformation procedure to map the original data space into a more discriminative one using biclustering, where features correspond to discriminative putative regulatory modules. RESULTS Through an ensemble of feature selection procedures, we identify a set of 14 genes highly representative of the result of an fuorodeoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (FDG-PET) after two courses of ABVD chemotherapy. The proposed methodology further presents an increased performance against reference levels, with the proposed space transformation yielding improvements in the majority of the tested predictive models (e.g. Decision Trees show an improvement of 20pp in both precision and recall). CONCLUSIONS Taken together, the results reveal improvements for predicting treatment response in HL disease by resorting to sophisticated statistical and ML principles. This work further consolidates the current hypothesis on the structural difficulty of this prognostic task, showing that there is still a considerable gap to be bridged for these technologies to reach the necessary maturity for clinical practice.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to analyze the dosimetric and radiobiologic differences of the left-sided whole breast and regional nodes in intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), volume-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and helical tomotherapy (HT). The IMRT, VMAT, and HT plans in this study were generated for thirty-five left-sided breast cancer patients after breast-conserving surgery (BCS). The planning target volume (PTV) included the whole breast and supraclavicular nodes. PTV coverage, homogeneity index (HI), conformity index (CI), dose to organs at risk (OARs), secondary cancer complication probability (SCCP), and excess absolute risk (EAR) were used to evaluate the plans. Compared to IMRT, the VMAT and HT plans resulted in higher PTV coverage and homogeneity. The VMAT and HT plans also delivered a lower mean dose to the ipsilateral lung (9.19 ± 1.36 Gy, 9.48 ± 1.17 Gy vs. 11.31 ± 1.42 Gy) and heart (3.99 ± 0.86 Gy, 4.48 ± 0.62 Gy vs. 5.53 ± 1.02 Gy) and reduced the V5Gy, V10Gy, V20Gy, V30Gy, and V40Gy of the ipsilateral lung and heart. The SCCP and EAR for the ipsilateral lung were reduced by 3.67%, 3.09% in VMAT, and 22.18%, 19.21% in HT, respectively. While were increased for the contralateral lung and breast. This study showed that VMAT plans provide a more homogeneous dose distribution to the PTV, minimizing exposure to ipsilateral structures and significantly reducing SCCP and EAR, and slightly increasing dose to contralateral structures. Overall, the VMAT plan can be considered a beneficial technique for BCS patients whose PTV includes the whole breast and regional nodes.

Abstract
Importance Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors have higher rates of colorectal cancer, which may be associated with subdiaphragmatic radiation therapy and/or alkylating chemotherapy. Although radiation dose-response associations with breast, lung, stomach, pancreatic, and esophageal cancer after HL have been demonstrated, the association of radiation therapy with colorectal cancer remains unclear. Objective To quantify the rate of colorectal cancer according to radiation dose to the large bowel and procarbazine dose among HL survivors. Design, Setting, and Participants A nested case-control study examined 5-year HL survivors at 5 hospital centers in the Netherlands. Participants had been diagnosed with HL in 1964 to 2000, when they were 15 to 50 years of age, and were followed for a median of approximately 26 years. Survivors of HL who developed colorectal cancer and survivors who were selected as controls were individually matched on sex, age at HL diagnosis, and date of HL diagnosis. Data were analyzed from July 2021 to October 2022. Exposures Mean radiation doses to the large bowel were estimated by reconstructing individual radiation therapy treatments on representative computed tomography data sets. Main Outcomes and Measures Excess rate ratios (ERRs) were modeled to evaluate the excess risk associated with each 1-gray increase in radiation dose, and potential effect modification by procarbazine was explored. Results The study population included 316 participants (mean [SD] age at HL diagnosis, 33.0 [9.8] years; 221 [69.9%] men), 78 of whom were HL survivors who developed colorectal cancer (cases) and 238 who did not (controls). The median (IQR) interval between HL and colorectal cancer was 25.7 (18.2-31.6) years. Increased colorectal cancer rates were seen for patients who received subdiaphragmatic radiation therapy (rate ratio [RR], 2.4; 95% CI, 1.4-4.1) and those who received more than 8.4 g/m2 procarbazine (RR, 2.5; 95% CI, 1.3-5.0). Overall, colorectal cancer rate increased linearly with mean radiation dose to the whole large bowel and dose to the affected bowel segment. The association between radiation dose and colorectal cancer rate became stronger with increasing procarbazine dose: the ERR per gray to the whole bowel was 3.5% (95% CI, 0.4%-12.6%) for patients who did not receive procarbazine, and increased 1.2-fold (95% CI, 1.1-1.3) for each 1-g/m2 increase in procarbazine dose. Conclusions and Relevance This nested case-control study of 5-year HL survivors found a dose-response association between radiation therapy and colorectal cancer risk, and modification of this association by procarbazine. These findings may enable individualized colorectal cancer risk estimations, identification of high-risk survivors for subsequent screening, and optimization of treatment strategies.

Risk of subsequent primary lymphoma in a cohort of 69,460 five-year survivors of childhood and adolescent cancer in Europe: The PanCareSurFup study. Cancer 2023; 129:426-440. [PMID: 36444554 PMCID: PMC10099796 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.34561] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2022] [Revised: 10/02/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) are at risk of developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) after treatment; however, the risks of developing subsequent primary lymphomas (SPLs), including HL and NHL, after different types of childhood cancer are unknown. The authors quantified the risk of SPLs using the largest cohort of childhood cancer survivors worldwide. METHODS The Pan-European Network for Care of Survivors After Childhood and Adolescent Cancer (PanCare) Survivor Care and Follow-Up Studies (PanCareSurFup) cohort includes 69,460 five-year survivors of childhood cancer, diagnosed during 1940 through 2008, from 12 European countries. Risks of SPLs were quantified by standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and relative risks (RRs) using multivariable Poisson regression. RESULTS Overall, 140 SPLs, including 104 NHLs and 36 HLs, were identified. Survivors were at 60% increased risk of an SPL compared with the general population (SIR, 1.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.4-1.9). Survivors were twice as likely to develop NHL (SIR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.9-2.8), with the greatest risks among survivors of HL (SIR, 7.1; 95% CI, 5.1-10.0), Wilms tumor (SIR, 3.1; 95% CI, 1.7-5.7), leukemia (SIR, 2.8; 95% CI, 1.8-4.4), and bone sarcoma (SIR, 2.7; 95% CI, 1.4-5.4). Treatment with chemotherapy for any cancer doubled the RR of NHL (RR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.2-3.9), but treatment with radiotherapy did not (RR, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.7-2.0). Survivors were at similar risk of developing a subsequent HL as the general population (SIR, 1.1; 95% CI, 0.8-1.5). CONCLUSIONS In addition to HL, the authors show here for the first time that survivors of Wilms tumor, leukemia, and bone sarcoma are at risk of NHL. Survivors and health care professionals should be aware of the risk of NHL in these survivors and in any survivors treated with chemotherapy.

Abstract
Introduction Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Because of the extended survival of patients with BC, the occurrence of second primary malignancies (SPMs) after BC is an important issue. Methods We identified female patients with BC in the Breast Cancer Health Database of Taiwan, which includes four cancer registry datasets between 2002 and 2014 from Taiwan Cancer Registry. We compared the incidence of SPM between patients who received chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy with those who did not. Stratified analyses were performed according to the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) stage. The Cox regression model was used to identify the risk factors for SPM and evaluate their effects. Results We enrolled 85,947 eligible patients with BC, and 2,656 (3.09%) patients developed SPM. The median duration of SPM was 2.70 (1.14-5.14) years. Radiotherapy was administered in 40,946 (47.64%) patients, and chemotherapy was administered in 52,120 (60.64%). The most common SPMs were digestive tract cancers (876, 31.89%). The risk factors for SPM included the AJCC stage, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, age, and underlying comorbidities. Neither chemotherapy nor radiotherapy was associated with an increased risk of SPM in any stage. In contrast, after adjusting for other risk factors, patients at stage III/IV who received both therapies had lower risks of SPM compared with those who did not (p = 0.047). Conclusion The risk of SPM was different across BC stages. Neither chemotherapy nor radiotherapy was associated with an increased risk of SPM in women with BC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The study aimed to compare the characteristics and prognosis between patients with second primary lung cancer following Hodgkin's lymphoma and those with primary lung cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS Using the SEER 18 database, the characteristics and prognosis were compared between the second primary non-small cell lung cancer following Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL-NSCLC) (n = 466) and the first primary non-small cell lung cancer (n = 469,851)(NSCLC-1), as well as between the second primary small cell lung cancer following Hodgkin's lymphoma (n = 93) (HL-SCLC) and the first primary small cell lung cancer (n = 94,168) (SCLC-1). Comparisons of categorical variables were performed using Chi-square or Fisher's test. Continuous variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test. Overall survival (OS) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference between groups was analyzed by log-rank test. RESULTS HL-NSCLC group had more males than NSCLC-1 group, and the median age of HL-NSCLC group was younger than that of NSCLC-1 group. Patients with HL-NSCLC showed inferior OS than those with NSCLC-1 (median: 10 months vs. 11 months, P = 0.006). Both HL-SCLC and SCLC-1 groups had poor prognosis, with median OS of 7 months (P = 0.4). The 3-year cumulative risks of death from any cause for patients with the latencies from HL to NSCLC of 0 to 5 years, >5 to 10 years, >10 to 15 years, >15 to 20 years, and>20 years were 71.8%, 82.6%, 86.8%, 85.7% and 78.5%, respectively(P = 0.020). CONCLUSION HL-NSCLC patients had worse prognosis than NSCLC-1 patients, while HL-SCLC patients shared similar characteristics and survival with SCLC-1 patients.

[DOI: 10.26442/18151434.2022.3.201904] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Background. Radiation-induced malignancies are one of the long-term complications of radiation therapy, which is widely used to treat some tumors. The latency period before a second tumor develops varies from 3 to 60 years. Epithelial tumors and hemoblastoses occur after low-dose radiation therapy and sarcomas after high-dose radiation therapy.
Aim. To present a case of radiation-induced soft tissue angiosarcoma of the neck after the cure of Hodgkin's disease.
Materials and methods. A 41-year-old patient with Hodgkin's nodular lymphoma with the lymphoid predominance of stage IIIA with involvement of the right cervical and clavicular lymph nodes, mediastinum, and abdominal lymph nodes was followed-up. In 2004 the patient underwent four cycles of polychemotherapy per ABVD regimen followed by radiotherapy of the right cervical and clavicular lymph nodes and mediastinum, with a total focal dose of 40 Gy.
Results. Seventeen years after the treatment for Hodgkin's disease, including radiation therapy, the patient presented with painful swelling of the neck soft tissues in the radiation area with the transition to the anterior thoracic wall and an enlarged cervical lymph node. A lymph node dissection was performed. According to the combined positron emission tomography and X-ray computed tomography (PET/CT), histological and immunohistochemical studies, epithelioid angiosarcoma of soft tissues of the neck and thoracic wall stage IV cT2N1M1G3 with metastases to the skeleton bones, neck lymph nodes, left adrenal gland was established. Surgical treatment was not performed due to advanced disease. The patient received six cycles of polychemotherapy with doxorubicin + ifosfamide. PET/CT confirmed partial tumor regression.
Conclusion. Radiation-induced soft tissue sarcoma is a late iatrogenic complication of radiation therapy for Hodgkin's lymphoma. The tumor occurred in the radiation area. PET/CT is the method of choice in diagnosing and evaluating the extent of cancer and response to treatment. Chemotherapy, as an option for complex treatment, can achieve adequate disease control when surgery is not feasible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery is the main curative therapeutic strategy for patients with initial primary lung cancer (IPLC). Most international guidelines recommend regular follow-ups after discharge to monitor patients for tumor recurrence and metastasis. As the overall survival (OS) in patients with lung cancer improves, their risk of secondary primary lung cancer (SPLC) increases. Previous studies on such patients lack separate assessment of different survival outcomes and evaluation of high-risk factors for SPLC. Therefore, we aimed to determine the correlation between high-risk factors and causes of death in patients with SPLC, based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database. METHODS We screened the SEER database for patients with IPLC and SPLC from 2004 to 2015 and included only patients who underwent surgery since the IPLC and in whom the cancer was pathologically verified of an International Classification of Diseases grade of 0-3 and to be non-small-cell lung cancer. The standardized incidence ratio (SIR) was calculated between variables and SPLC. Multivariable Cox proportional-hazards regression analyses were conducted to calculate the correlation of different variables with overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS). A competing-risk model was conducted for SPLC. The effect of baseline bias on survival outcomes by performing propensity score matching analysis in a 1: 6 ratio (SPLC: IPLC). RESULTS For patients aged 0-49 years, the overall SIR was higher in older patients, reaching a maximum of 27.74 in those aged 40-49 years, and at 11.63 in patients aged 50-59 years. The overall SIR was higher for patients who were more recently diagnosed with IPLC and increased with time after diagnosis. Male sex, SPLC (hazard ratio, 1.6173; 95% confidence interval, 1.5505-1.6869; P < 0.001), cancer grade III or IV, lower lobe of the lung, advanced stage and postoperative radiotherapy (PORT) were independently detrimental to OS. In terms of CSS, PORT was a high-risk factor. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative radiotherapy is a risk factor for second primary lung cancer and detrimental to overall and cancer-specific survival in patients who had initial primary lung cancer. These data support the need for life-long follow-up of patients who undergo treatment for IPLC to screen for SPLC.

Abstract
Introduction The risk of developing gastric cancer is increased in patients treated with radiotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) or testicular cancer (TC). This study aims to assess if gastric adenocarcinoma after treatment for HL/TC (t-GC) is molecularly different from gastric adenocarcinoma in the general population. Methods Patients were diagnosed with t-GC ≥5 years after treatment for HL/TC. Four molecular subtypes were identified using immunohistochemical and molecular analyses: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), mismatch repair (MMR) deficiency or microsatellite instability (MSI), aberrant p53 staining as surrogate for chromosomal instability (sCIN), and a surrogate for genomic stability (sGS) without these aberrations. Results were compared with gastric cancer in the general population (p-GC) described in literature. Results Molecular subtyping of 90 t-GCs resulted in 3% EBV, 8% MSI, 36% sCIN and 53% sGS. 3/6 of MSI t-GCs had MLH1 promoter methylation and 2/6 were explained by double somatic mutations in MMR genes. T-GCs were more frequently sGS than p-GCs (53% vs. 38%, p = 0.04). T-GC was more frequently sGS in HL/TC patients diagnosed before 1990, than after 1990 (63% vs. 38%, p = 0.03). T-GCs located in the antrum, an area that receives high irradiation doses, were more frequently sGS (61% vs. 28% in p-GCs, p = 0.02). Conclusion Our results demonstrate that t-GCs are more frequently of the sGS subtype than p-GCs. An association of t-GC of the sGS subtype with prior anticancer treatment is suggested by the high frequency in HL/TC patients who were treated before 1990, a time period in which HL/TC treatments were more extensive.

Second Malignancies in Patients with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma: Half a Century of Experience. Clin Transl Radiat Oncol 2022; 35:64-69.

Abstract
Purpose Therapeutic improvements for Hodgkin’s Lymphoma (HL) has resulted in excellent survival outcomes. Thus, patients are increasing susceptible to developing secondary malignancy (SM) a feared iatrogenic complication. Materials & Methods We evaluated the SM risk in a cohort of patients with HL treated over a 50-year period. In total, 1653 patients were treated for HL from 1956 to 2009 at a tertiary-cancer-center. A cumulative incidence function was used to quantify SM risk and the Fine and Gray competing risk model was used to identify disease and treatment related correlates. Results Two-hundred-ninety patients (19%) developed SMs. Paradoxically, SM risk was higher in the modern era with 20-year cumulative incidence rates of 11.1%, 11.9%, 17% and 21.8%, for patients treated <1970, 1971–1986, 1986–1995 and 1996–2009, respectively. We hypothesized that the disproportionately high rate of early deaths in the early era may skew the assessment of SM risks, a much-delayed event. When the analysis was restricted to patients with early-stage favorable HL treated >1980, we found a reversal of the trend, especially on the risk of solid tumor, with a hazard ratio of 0.57 (p = 0.0651) in patients treated after 1996. Conclusion Our findings highlight the limitations of comparing the risk of a late event between groups with disparate rates of early deaths, despite the use of a competing risk model. When partially corrected for, patients treated in the more recent time period experienced a lower solid tumor risk.

Abstract
Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors have an increased risk of developing subsequent treatment-related primary malignancies. In the last few decades, advances in knowledge, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation have led to the transformation of lethal malignancy into highly curable malignancy, thereby improving outcomes. With prolonged survival, the risk of developing subsequent treatment-related late adverse effects, such as malignancies, steadily increases over time. Herein, we present the first case of a treatment-related second primary stage IV peripheral small cell lung carcinoma in a female HL survivor who was also diagnosed with right breast cancer 13 years after HL treatment and 1 year before her lung cancer diagnosis.

Cancer 2022; 128:547-557. [PMID: 34623641 PMCID: PMC8776580 DOI: 10.1002/cncr.33940] [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: 06/14/2021] [Revised: 08/15/2021] [Accepted: 09/07/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Second or later primary cancers account for approximately 20% of incident cases in the United States. Currently, cause-specific survival (CSS) analyses exclude these cancers because the cause of death (COD) classification algorithm was available only for first cancers. The authors added rules for later cancers to the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results cause-specific death classification algorithm and evaluated CSS to include individuals with prior tumors. METHODS The authors constructed 2 cohorts: 1) the first ever primary cohort, including patients whose first cancer was diagnosed during 2000 through 2016) and 2) the earliest matching primary cohort, including patients with any cancer who matched the selection criteria irrespective of whether it was the first or a later cancer diagnosed during 2000 through 2016. The cohorts' CSS estimates were compared using follow-up through December 31, 2017. The new rules were used in the second cohort for patients whose first cancers during 2000 through 2016 were their second or later cancers. RESULTS Overall, there were no statistically significant differences in CSS estimates between the 2 cohorts. Estimates were similar by age, stage, race, and time since diagnosis, except for patients with leukemia and those aged 65 to 74 years (3.4 percentage point absolute difference). CONCLUSIONS The absolute difference in CSS estimates for the first cancer ever cohort versus earliest of any cancers cohort in the study period was small for most cancer types. As the number of newly diagnosed patients with prior cancers increases, the algorithm will make CSS more inclusive and enable estimating survival for a group of patients with cancer for whom life tables are not available or life tables are available but do not capture other-cause mortality appropriately.

Second Cancers in Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma: A Systematic Review by the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi. Cancers (Basel) 2022; 14:cancers14030519.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The increase of lymphoma patient survival led to a modification of the incidence of long-term sequelae, including second malignancies (SM). Several groups have dealt with the incidence of SM, according to the primary treatment; however, a standardized approach for the early detection and screening of SM in the population of lymphoma survivors should be implemented. METHODS A systematic review was conducted by Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL), in order to define the incidence of SM, the impact of modern radiotherapy on SM risk, and the usefulness of tailored follow-up and screening strategies for early diagnosis of SM. Classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) survivors were investigated. The MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were checked for relevant reports published up to January 2020. The selection process was reported according to the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. RESULTS A total of 27 full-text manuscripts resulted as eligible for the analysis. The incidence of SM in cHL patients treated with ABVD was higher compared to the general population and was even higher in patients treated with intensified regimens. The risk increased over time, as well as after 10-15 years from therapy, and was augmented by radiotherapy exposure. In DLBCL, more intensive regimens (i.e., R-CHOEP or R-MegaCHOEP) vs. R-CHOP were associated with a higher SM incidence. Salvage chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplants increased the risk of SM in both cHL and DLBCL cohorts. A lower incidence of SM, particularly of breast cancer (BC), was shown in cohorts of cHL survivors treated with reduced radiation volumes and doses (involved fields vs. extended fields), but robust trials are still lacking. Considering the advantage of a structured screening for early detection of SM, all the included studies regarded cHL survivors and screening strategy for early BC detection. Moreover, the authors discuss additional papers, to guide the early diagnosis of lung, colorectal, skin, and thyroid cancer in patients at risk due to family history, drug or RT exposure, or unhealthy lifestyles. These screening strategies all passed through patient awareness. CONCLUSION A modern approach to chemotherapy and radiotherapy led to a lower risk of SM, which should be confirmed over time. Early detection of secondary cancers could be achieved through a tailored screening program, according to the individual risk profile.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the role of infra diaphragmatic intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) compared to volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) for female Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) patients and to estimate the risk of secondary cancer and ovarian failure. METHODS A comparative treatment planning study was performed on 14 patients, and the results were compared according to conventional dose-volume metrics. In addition, estimates of the excess absolute risk (EAR) of secondary cancer induction were determined for the bowel, the bladder and the rectum. For the ovaries, the risk of ovarian failure was estimated. RESULTS The dosimetric findings demonstrate the equivalence between VMAT and IMPT in terms of target coverage. A statistically significant reduction of the mean and near-to-maximum doses was proven for the organs at risk. The EAR ratio estimated for IMPT to VMAT was 0.51 ± 0.32, 0.32 ± 0.35 and 0.05 ± 0.11 for the bowel, bladder and rectum, respectively. Concerning the risk of ovarian failure for the chronologic age ranging from 18 to 46 years, the expected net loss in fertility years ranged from 4.8 to 3.0 years for protons and 12.0 to 5.7 years for photons. CONCLUSION This in-silico study confirmed the beneficial role of IMPT from a dosimetric point of view. Mathematical models suggested that the use of protons might be further advantageous due to the expected reduction of the risk of secondary cancer induction and its milder impact on the reduction of fertility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) survivors treated with abdominal radiotherapy and/or procarbazine have an increased risk of developing colorectal neoplasia. AIMS We evaluated the clinicopathological characteristics and risk factors for developing (advanced) neoplasia (AN) in HL survivors. METHODS In all, 101 HL survivors (median age 51 years, median age of HL diagnosis 25 years) underwent colonoscopy and 350 neoplasia and 44 AN (classified as advanced adenomas/serrated lesions or colorectal cancer), mostly right-sided, were detected, as published previously. An average-risk asymptomatic cohort who underwent screening colonoscopy were controls (median age 60 years). Clinicopathological characteristics of AN were evaluated in both groups. Mismatch repair (MMR) status was assessed using immunohistochemistry (MLH1/MSH2/MSH6/PMS2). Logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the risk factors for AN in HL survivors, including age at HL diagnosis and interval between HL and colonoscopy. RESULTS In 101 colonoscopies in HL survivors, AN was primarily classified based on polyp size ≥10 mm, whereas (high-grade)dysplasia was more often seen in AN in controls. An interval between HL diagnosis and colonoscopy >26 years was associated with more AN compared with an interval of <26 years, with an odds ratio for AN of 3.8 (95% confidence interval 1.4-9.1) (p < 0.01). All 39 AN that were assessed were MMR proficient. CONCLUSIONS Colorectal neoplasia in HL survivors differ from average-risk controls; classification AN was primarily based on polyp size (≥10 mm) in HL survivors. Longer follow-up between HL diagnosis and colonoscopy was associated with a higher prevalence of AN in HL survivors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite recent improvements in survival due to advances in treatment, the quality of life of patients with lymphoma may be compromised by the long-term complications of chemotherapy and steroid therapy. Among these, a potentially relevant problem is bone loss and the development of fragility fractures. AIM To provide further evidence of clinical or subclinical skeletal complications in correlation with biological variables and markers of bone disease in patients with complete response to therapy. METHOD A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on subjects diagnosed with lymphoma with subsequent antineoplastic treatment, disease status after therapy defined as complete response disease for at least a year now. We performed: blood chemistry tests, imaging techniques and screening tools for the assessment of functional status and quality of life (SARC-F and mini-Osteoporosis Quality of Life). RESULTS Approximately 50% of patients had osteoporosis, with a prevalence of vertebral fractures of 65.5%. In most patients, we found hypovitaminosis D and high levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Furthermore, a statistically significant association was observed between high PTH levels and previous lymphoma treatment. Finally, the Mini-Osteoporosis Quality of life (mini-OQLQ) questionnaire demonstrated a loss of quality of life as a consequence of the change in bone status. CONCLUSIONS Patient treatment design for personalized chemotherapy would be desirable to reduce late effects on bone. Also, early prevention programs need to be applied before starting treatment. The most benefited subpopulations could be not only elderly but also young patients.

Abstract
The world is witnessing a global epidemic of lung cancer in women. Cigarette smoking remains the dominant risk factor in both sexes, but multiple observations suggest that important sex-related distinctions in lung cancer exist. These include differences in histologic distribution, prevalence in never-smokers, frequency of activating EGFR mutations, likelihood of DNA adduct accumulation, and survival outcomes. Important questions such as whether women are more susceptible to carcinogenic effects of smoking or derive more benefit from lung cancer screening merit more study. A deeper understanding of sex-related differences in lung cancer may lead to improved outcomes for both women and men.

Abstract
This status article describes current state-of-the-art radiotherapy for lymphomas and new emerging techniques. Current state-of-the-art radiotherapy is sophisticated, individualised, CT-based, intensity-modulated treatment, using PET/CT to define the target. The concept of involved site radiotherapy should be used, delineating the target using the exact same principles as for solid tumours. The optimal treatment delivery includes motion management and online treatment verification systems, which reduce intra- and interfractional anatomical variation. Emerging radiotherapy techniques in lymphomas include adaptive radiotherapy in MR- and CT-based treatment systems and proton therapy. The next generation linear accelerators have the capability to deliver adaptive treatment and allow relatively quick online adaptation to the daily variations of the anatomy. The computer systems use machine leaning to facilitate rapid automatic contouring of the target and organs-at-risk. Moreover, emerging MR-based planning and treatment facilities allow target definition directly from MR scans and allow intra-fractional tracking of structures recognisable on MR. Proton facilities are now being widely implemented. The benefits of proton therapy are due to the physical properties of protons, which in many cases allow sparing of normal tissue. The variety of techniques in modern radiotherapy means that the radiation oncologist must be able to choose the right technique for each patient. The choice is mainly based on experience and standard protocols, but new systems calculating risks for the patients with a specific treatment plan and also systems integrating clinical factors and risk factors into the planning process itself are emerging.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Secondary malignant neoplasms (SMNs) and cardiovascular diseases induced by chemotherapy and radiotherapy represent the main cause of excess mortality for early-stage Hodgkin lymphoma patients, especially when the mediastinum is involved. Conformal radiotherapy techniques such as Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) could allow a reduction of the dose to the organs-at-risk (OARs) and therefore limit long-term toxicity. METHODS We performed a systematic review of the current literature regarding comparisons between IMRT and conventional photon beam radiotherapy, or between different IMRT techniques, for the treatment of mediastinal lymphoma. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS IMRT allows a substantial reduction of the volumes of OARs exposed to high doses, reducing the risk of long-term toxicity. This benefit is conterbalanced by the increase of volumes receiving low doses, that could potentially increase the risk of SMNs. Treatment planning should be personalized on patient and disease characteristics. Dedicated techniques such as "butterfly" VMAT often provide the best trade-off.

Abstract
Background: Multiple methods have been implemented to limit the impact of radiotherapy on patients affected by mediastinal lymphoma, including breathing control techniques, image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), although the actual diffusion of such techniques is unclear. No surveys have been published to date evaluating the techniques adopted at different centers. Methods: A survey with a dedicated questionnaire was submitted to 195 Italian radiotherapy centers, assessing items regarding the characteristics of the center and clinical practice in the treatment of mediastinal lymphomas. Results: A total of 43 centers (22%) responded, the majority of which were university hospitals (37.2%) or cancer care centers (27.9%). In 95.4% of the centers, IMRT was used in the clinical practice, and the most frequently employed techniques were VMAT (48.8% of centers) and non-rotational IMRT (31.7%). Comparison of multiple plans was performed by 66.7% of the responding centers. Dose constraints for organs at risk were consistently prescribed. IGRT techniques were adopted by 93% of the centers, while breathing control or gating techniques were routinely used by only 25.6% of the centers. A necessity to standardize OAR constraints and define guidelines was perceived by almost all participants. Conclusions: Modern radiotherapy techniques are widely used in the Italian centers, although with heterogeneous characteristics.

[PMID: 34307918 PMCID: PMC8295851 DOI: 10.1016/j.phro.2021.06.003] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2021] [Revised: 05/28/2021] [Accepted: 06/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE State-of-the-art radiotherapy modalities have the potential of reducing late effects of treatment in childhood cancer survivors. Our aim was to investigate the carcinogenic risk associated with 3D conformal (photon) radiation (3D-CRT), intensity modulated arc therapy (IMAT) and pencil beam scanning proton therapy (PBS-PT) in the treatment of paediatric abdominal neuroblastoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The risk of radiation-induced second malignant neoplasm (SMN) was estimated using the concept of organ equivalent dose (OED) for eleven organs (lungs, rectum, colon, stomach, small intestine, liver, bladder, skin, central nervous system (CNS), bone, and soft tissues). The risk ratio (RR) between radiotherapy modalities and lifetime absolute risks (LAR) were reported for twenty abdominal neuroblastoma patients (median, 4y; range, 1-9y) historically treated with 3D-CRT that were also retrospectively replanned for IMAT and PBS-PT. RESULTS The risk of SMN due to primary radiation was reduced in PBS-PT against 3D-CRT and IMAT for most patients and organs. The RR across all organs ranged from 0.38 ± 0.22 (bladder) to 0.98 ± 0.04 (CNS) between PBS-PT and IMAT, and 0.12 ± 0.06 (rectum and bladder) to 1.06 ± 0.43 (bone) between PBS-PT and 3D-CRT. The LAR for most organs was within 0.01-1% (except the colon) with a cumulative risk of 21 ± 13%, 35 ± 14% and 35 ± 16% for PBS-PT, IMAT and 3D-CRT, respectively. CONCLUSIONS PBS-PT was associated with the lowest risk of radiation-induced SMN compared to IMAT and 3D-CRT in abdominal neuroblastoma treatment. Other clinical endpoints and plan robustness should also be considered for optimal plan selection.

Abstract
Cancer represents the leading cause of disease-related death and treatment-associated morbidity in children with an increasing trend in recent decades worldwide. Nevertheless, the 5-year survival of childhood cancer patients has been raised impressively to more than 80% during the past decades, primarily attributed to improved diagnostic technologies and multiagent cytotoxic regimens. This strong benefit of more efficient tumor control and prolonged survival is compromised by an increased risk of adverse and fatal late sequelae. Long-term survivors of pediatric tumors are at the utmost risk for non-carcinogenic late effects such as cardiomyopathies, neurotoxicity, or pneumopathies, as well as the development of secondary primary malignancies as the most detrimental consequence of genotoxic chemo- and radiotherapy. Promising approaches to reducing the risk of adverse late effects in childhood cancer survivors include high precision irradiation techniques like proton radiotherapy or non-genotoxic targeted therapies and immune-based treatments. However, to date, these therapies are rarely used to treat pediatric cancer patients and survival rates, as well as incidences of late effects, have changed little over the past two decades in this population. Here we provide an overview of the epidemiology and etiology of childhood cancers, current developments for their treatment, and therapy-related adverse late health consequences with a special focus on second primary malignancies.

Abstract
Osteosarcoma (OS) is the most common primary bone tumor in children and adolescents. The etiology of OS is largely unknown but may be informed by comparisons of incidence and trends between geographic regions. Using the Cancer Incidence in Five Continents (CI5) data from 1988 to 2012, we present OS age-standardized incidence rates (ASRs; cases/million) and average annual percent change (AAPC) and 95% confidence interval (CI) by geographic region among the age groups 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-59, 60-79, 0-79. Among the 10-19 age group, we also used the most recent data (2008-2012) to present the ASRs for each country. We observed little variation in OS incidence between geographic regions in 2008-2012 across all age groups. Overall, the ASR for 0-79 ranged from 2 cases per million in Southern Asia to 4.2 in Sub-Saharan Africa. A bimodal distribution in incidence was observed with peaks in the 10-19 and 60-79 age groups across all regions over time. Overall, OS incidence was relatively stable across 1988-2012 with the only statistically significant increases in the 0-79 age group observed in Eastern Asia (AAPC: 1.8; 95% CI: 0.6, 1.9) and Sub-Saharan Africa (AAPC: 3.1; 95% CI: 0.5, 5.8). The small variation in incidence between regions and the stability in incidence over time suggests that OS carcinogenesis is not influenced by environmental or time-varying exposures.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Among survivors from first primary cancers that occurred during childhood and adolescence, their risks of developing subsequent primary digestive system cancers are not well understood. Therefore, we conducted the largest and most comprehensive analysis examining risks for diverse types of digestive system cancers after survival from a wide variety of first primary childhood and adolescent cancers. METHODS We identified 41,249 patients diagnosed with first primary cancer from 1975 to 2015 before 20 years of age from 9 Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results Program registries. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and absolute excess risks (AERs) for digestive system cancers were calculated controlling for age, sex, race, and calendar year. RESULTS Among 41,249 cancer survivors, 133 developed subsequent primary digestive system cancer, with a median digestive system cancer diagnosis age of 37 years. The SIR and AER for any digestive system cancer were highest among survivors of bone cancer, lymphoma, and neuroblastoma. Among survivors from any first primary cancer, the SIR was significantly elevated for cancer of the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, liver, and pancreas, whereas the AER was highest for large intestine cancer. DISCUSSION Childhood and adolescent cancer survivors diagnosed from 1975 to 2015 have significantly elevated risks of digestive system cancers compared with the US general population. Our detailed findings may contribute to surveillance recommendations of childhood and adolescent cancer survivors and promote future studies to further understand mechanisms by which having various first primary cancers lead to subsequent primary digestive system cancers.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The historically feared radiation-induced secondary cancers and cardiac toxicities observed among mediastinal classical Hodgkin Lymphoma (cHL) patients may still negatively burden the benefit of radiotherapy among long-term survivors. Modern radiotherapy (RT) delivery techniques, including intensity-modulated RT (IMRT) and deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) solutions, are drastically changing this scenario. Results of a literature overview are reported and discussed in this paper. MATERIALS AND METHODS Key references were derived from a PubMed query. Hand searching and clinicaltrials.gov were also used. RESULTS This paper contains a narrative report and a critical discussion of organs-at-risk dose-volume metrics linked with radiation-induced toxicities in cHL patients. CONCLUSIONS The scenario of early-stage cHL presents long-life expectancies, thus the goal of treatment should aim at maintaining high cure rates and limiting the onset of late complications. Further evaluations of dosimetric measures and clinical outcomes are warranted to identify patients at higher risk to target treatment tailoring.

Abstract
Lymphoma survivors have a significantly higher risk of developing second primary lymphoma than the general population; however, bidirectional risks of developing B- and T-cell lymphomas (BCL; TCL) specifically are less well understood. We used population-based cancer registry data to estimate the subtype-specific risks of second primary lymphoma among patients with first BCL (n=288,478) or TCL (n=23,747). We observed nearly five-fold increased bidirectional risk between BCL and TCL overall (TCL following BCL: standardized incidence ratio [SIR]=4.7, 95% confidence interval [CI]=4.2-5.2; BCL following TCL: SIR=4.7, 95%CI=4.1-5.2), but the risk varied substantially by lymphoma subtype. The highest SIRs were observed between Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and peripheral T-cell lymphoma-not otherwise specified (PTCL-NOS) (PTCL-NOS following HL: SIR=27.5, 95%CI=18.4-39.4; HL following PTCL-NOS: SIR=31.6, 95%CI=17.3-53.0). Strikingly elevated risks also were notable for angioimmunoblastic T-cell lymphoma (AITL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) (AITL following DLBCL: SIR=9.7, 95%CI=5.7-15.5; DLBCL following AITL: SIR=15.3, 95%CI=9.1-24.2). These increased risks were strongest within the first year following diagnosis but remained persistently elevated even at ≥5 years. In contrast, SIRs were <5 for all associations of TCL with chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL/SLL) and follicular lymphoma (FL). These patterns support etiologic heterogeneity among lymphoma subtypes and provide further insights into lymphomagenesis.

Abstract
The increased incidence of secondary hematologic malignancies (SHM) is a well-known, potentially fatal, complication after cancer treatment. It is unknown if patients with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast treated with external beam radiotherapy (RT) and who survive long-term have increased risks of secondary hematologic malignancies (SHM), especially for low/intermediate-risk subsets with limited benefits from RT. DCIS patients in Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registries (1975-2016) were identified. Relative risks (RR), hazard ratio (HR), and standardized incidence ratios (SIR) were calculated to assess the SHM risk and subsequent survival times. SHM development, defined as a nonsynchronous SHM occurring ≥1 year after DCIS diagnosis, was our primary endpoint. Of 184,363 eligible patients with DCIS, 77,927 (42.3%) in the RT group, and 106,436 (57.7%) in the non-RT group, 1289 developed SHMs a median of 6.4 years (interquartile range, 3.5 to 10.3 years) after their DCIS diagnosis. Compared with DCIS patients in the non-RT group, RT was associated with increased early risk of developing acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL; hazard ratio, 3.15; 95% CI, 1.21 to 8.17; P = 0.02), and a delayed risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL; hazard ratio, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.09 to 1.62; P < 0.001). This increased risk of ALL and NHL after RT was also observed in subgroup analyses restricted to low/intermediate-risk DCIS. In summary, our data suggest that RT after breast conserving surgery for DCIS patients should be cautiously tailored, especially for low and intermediate-risk patients. Long-term SHM surveillance after DCIS diagnosis is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES In contrast to secondary primary malignancies (SPM) following multiple myeloma (MM), less is known about previous malignancies. We therefore conducted a population-based study to assess the patterns of previous malignancies in MM patients as well as the risk for SPM. METHODS Using data from the Cancer Registry of Norway, we included 9574 MM patients and 37 810 matched control subjects. The association between previous malignancies and a subsequent diagnosis of MM was analysed by a logistic regression model and the risk for SPM by a Cox model. RESULTS A previous diagnosis of myeloproliferative neoplasia (MPN) (OR 3.57; 95% CI:1.45-8.80) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) (OR 3.66; 95% CI: 1.40-9.55) was associated with the subsequent development of MM. For MPN, the association with MM was explained by an excess of primary myelofibrosis (PMF) in the MM group. The overall incidence of a previous malignancy was not different between MM patients and the control subjects (OR 0.93; 95% CI: 0.87-1.00). MM patients had an increased risk for secondary acute myelogenous leukaemia/myelodysplastic syndromes (HR 6.1, 95% CI: 3.9-9.5). CONCLUSIONS A previous diagnosis of HL and PMF was associated with a subsequent diagnosis of MM, whereas the overall incidence of previous cancers was not increased for MM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients have a good prognosis after adequate treatment. Previous treatment with mantle field irradiation has been accompanied by an increased long-term risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). This study identified co-morbidity factors for the development of cardiovascular side effects and initiated an intervention study aimed to decrease morbidity and mortality of CVD in HL survivors. DESIGN Hodgkin lymphoma patients aged ≤45 years diagnosed between 1965 and 1995 were invited to participate. In total, 453 patients completed a questionnaire that addressed co-morbidity factors and clinical symptoms. Of these, 319 accepted to participate in a structured clinical visit. The statistical analyses compared individuals with CVD with those with no CVD. RESULTS Cardiovascular disease was reported by 27.9%. Radiotherapy (odds ratio [OR]: 3.27), hypertension and hypercholesterolemia were shown to be independent risk factors for the development of CVD. The OR for CVD and valve disease in patients who received radiotherapy towards mediastinum was 4.48 and 6.07, respectively. At clinical visits, 42% of the patients were referred for further investigation and 24% of these had a cardiac ultrasound performed due to previously unknown heart murmurs. CONCLUSION Radiotherapy towards mediastinum was an independent risk factor for CVD as well as hypercholesterolemia and hypertension. A reasonable approach as intervention for this cohort of patients is regular monitoring of hypertension and hypercholesterolemia and referral to adequate investigation when cardiac symptoms appear. Broad knowledge about the side effects from radiotherapy in the medical community and well-structured information regarding late side effects to the patients are all reasonable approaches as late effects can occur even 40 years after cancer treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Testis cancer (TC) patients are young with excellent cancer prognosis. Hence, the risk of late-onset treatment-related morbidity and mortality is of concern due to longer survival after treatment. OBJECTIVE We set to characterize long-term survival of TC patients through a Canadian population dataset. DESIGN SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS We used a population-based dataset, the Canadian Census Health and Environment Cohort (CanCHEC), to identify individuals diagnosed with TC between 1991 and 2010. We compared them with all other male individuals without TC. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS AND STATISTICAL ANALYSIS The primary outcome was mortality due to cardiovascular disease (CVD) or nontesticular malignancy. Mann-Whitney or chi-square test was used where applicable. Data were analyzed using a Cox proportional hazard model with and without matching. RESULTS AND LIMITATIONS We identified 1950 individuals with TC. We compared them with 1 300 295 men with no TC. There were 335 deaths in the study group during the study period (17.2%) with a mean follow-up of 19.6 yr. TC patients were at increased risk of death from secondary malignancies (hazard ratio [HR] 1.63, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.39-1.91; p < 0.0001) with specific risks for hematologic neoplasms (HR 3.86, 95% CI 2.78-5.37; p < 0.001) and other malignancies (HR 2.41, 95% CI 1.76-3.29; p < 0.001). Gastrointestinal, hematologic, and respiratory toxicities were the most common secondary malignancies leading to death. When stratified according to histology, nonseminoma (NS) patients were at significantly increased risk of death from CVD (HR 2.03, 95% CI 1.27-3.25; p = 0.0032). Individuals with seminoma were at increased risk of death from other nontestis neoplasms (HR 1.46, 95% CI 1.17-1.82; p = 0.0007), specifically hematologic neoplasms (HR 2.09, 95% CI 1.18-3.72; p = 0.0118). CONCLUSIONS NS patients are at increased risk of CVD-related death, whereas seminoma patients are at increased risk of death from non-testis-related malignancies. PATIENT SUMMARY We report long-term mortality following diagnosis of testis cancer. Nonseminoma patients have an increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease, while seminoma patients have an increased risk of death from secondary malignancies.

Abstract
Second breast cancer (SBC) is the most common solid cancer among Hodgkin Lymphoma (HL) female survivors. We reviewed the related modifying risk factors, radiation-induced carcinogenesis, tumors characteristics, management specificities, prevention and surveillance modalities based on current evidence. The risk of developing SBC may be influenced essentially by the age at HL treatment, follow-up latency, dose of irradiation received and the extent of irradiated field. SBCs generally develop at younger age, they are often bilateral, and exhibit more aggressive biological features and worse prognosis. No firm answer about the benefits of breast surveillance is provided by literature, but compelling evidence tends toward a clinical benefit in early detection. Increasing awareness among health providers' care and current survivors as well as the implementation of screening measures is crucial. Great efforts are ongoing in individualizing treatment strategies for future HL patients and response-adapted approaches are holding promise in prevention of these second malignancies.

Abstract
Men treated for localized prostate cancer by radiotherapy have often a remaining life span of 10 yr or more. Therefore, the risk for secondary malignancies should be taken into account. Plans for ten patients were evaluated which had been performed on an Oncentra® treatment planning system for a treatment with an Elekta Synergy™ linac with Agility™ head. The investigated techniques involved IMRT and VMTA with and without flattening filter. Different dose response models were applied for secondary carcinoma and sarcoma risk in the treated region and also in the periphery. As organs at risk we regarded for carcinoma risk urinary bladder, rectum, colon, esophagus, thyroid, and for sarcoma risk bone and soft tissue. The excess absolute risk (EAR) was found very similar in the treated region for both techniques (IMRT and VMAT) and also for both with and without flattening filter. The secondary sarcoma risk resulted about one magnitude smaller than the secondary carcinoma risk. The EAR to the peripheral organs was statistically significant reduced by application of the flattening filter free mode concerning the flattening filter as main source of scattered dose. Application of flattening filter free mode can thus support to reduce second malignancy risk for patients with localized prostate cancer.

Abstract
PURPOSE Mortality for patients with classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) treated during an era characterized in the United States by widespread use of doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine and diminishing use of radiotherapy is not well understood. PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified 20,007 individuals diagnosed with stage I/II (early) or III/IV (advanced) cHL between age 20 and 74 years treated with initial chemotherapy in US population-based cancer registries during 2000-2015 (follow-up through 2016). We used standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) to compare cause-specific relative mortality risk following cHL to that expected in the general population and estimated excess absolute risks (EARs; per 10,000 patient-years) to quantify disease-specific death burden. RESULTS We identified 3,380 deaths in the cHL cohort, including 1,321 (39%) not attributed to lymphoma. Overall, noncancer SMRs were increased 2.4-fold (95% CI, 2.2 to 2.6; observed, 559; EAR, 61.6) and 1.6-fold (95% CI, 1.4 to 1.7; observed, 473; EAR, 18.2) for advanced- and early-stage cHL, respectively, compared with the general US population. SMRs and EARs differed substantially by cause of death and cHL stage. Among the highest EARs for noncancer causes of death were those for heart disease (EAR, 15.1; SMR, 2.1), infections (EAR, 10.6; SMR, 3.9), interstitial lung disease (ILD; EAR, 9.7; SMR, 22.1), and adverse events (AEs) related to medications/drugs (EAR, 7.4; SMR, 5.0) after advanced-stage cHL and heart disease (EAR, 6.6; SMR, 1.7), ILD (EAR, 3.7; SMR, 13.1), and infections (EAR, 3.1; SMR, 2.2) after early-stage cHL. Strikingly elevated SMRs for ILD, infections, and AEs were observed < 1 year after cHL. Individuals age 60-74 years with advanced-stage cHL experienced a disproportionate excess of deaths as a result of heart disease, ILD, infections, AEs, and solid tumors. CONCLUSION Despite evolving cHL treatment approaches, patients continue to face increased nonlymphoma mortality risks from multiple, potentially preventable causes. Surveillance, early interventions, and cHL treatment refinements may favorably affect patient longevity, particularly among high-risk subgroups.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study how patients with urinary bladder cancer (UBC) with previous or concomitant other primary cancers (OPCs) were treated, and to investigate their prognosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Using nationwide population-based data in the Bladder Cancer Data Base Sweden (BladderBaSe), we analysed the probability of treatment with curative intent, and UBC-specific and overall survival (OS) in patients with UBC diagnosed in the period 1997-2014 with or without OPC. The analyses considered the patient's characteristics, UBC tumour stage at diagnosis, and site of OPC. RESULTS There were 38 689 patients, of which 9804 (25%) had OPCs. Those with synchronous OPCs more often had T2 and T3 tumours and clinically distant disease at diagnosis than those with UBC only. Patients with synchronous prostate cancer, female genital cancer and lower gastro-intestinal cancer were more often treated with curative intent than patients with UBC only. When models of survival were adjusted for age at diagnosis, marital status, education, year of diagnosis, Charlson Comorbidity Index and T-stage, UBC-specific survival was similar to patients with UBC only, but OS was lower for patients with synchronous OPC, explained mainly by deaths in OPC primaries with a bad prognosis. CONCLUSIONS OPC is common in patients with UBC. Treatment for UBC, after or in conjunction with an OPC, should not be neglected and carries just as high a probability of success as treatment in patients with UBC only. The needs of patients with UBC and OPC, and optimisation of their treatment considering their complicated disease trajectory are important areas of research.

Abstract
Background The survival advantage of radiotherapy for patients with stage IV classic Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has not been adequately evaluated. Methods We analyzed patients with stage IV HL enrolled from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) registry from January 2000 to December 2012. Propensity score (PS) analysis with 1:2 matching was performed to ensure well-balanced characteristics of the comparison groups. Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazardous model were used to evaluate the overall survival (OS), cancer-specific survival (CSS), the hazards ratio (HR) and corresponding 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Results Overall, for all patients with stage IV HL, receiving radiotherapy was associated with both significantly improved OS and CSS. Radiotherapy to any lesions could independently improve the OS and CSS by 30% to 36% in the multivariate analyses before and after PS matching (PSM), with the best improvement of 33% to 40% observed for patients with nodular sclerosis (P < 0.05) among all HL pathological types. In particular, radiotherapy, most likely to the residual site, was more pronouncedly associated with the improvement in survival for patients with stage IV HL who were young (age<45, P < .05) or without B symptoms (PInteraction for OS = 0.099, PInteraction for CSS = 0.255). For those patients without B symptoms, after PSM, the OS was improved by 65% (P = .021). Conclusions The large SEER results support that radiotherapy is associated with better survival of patients with stage IV HL.

Abstract
Background Pulmonary high-grade neuroendocrine carcinoma (HGNEC) has a rising incidence of developing second primary malignancies (SPMs). This study is the first population-based analysis to quantify the SPM risks among survivors of lung HGNEC. Methods We used the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database to calculate standardized incidence ratio (SIR) and absolute excess risk (AER) between 2000 and 2016 for patients with pulmonary HGNEC. Results The data of 1161 patients with SPMs were retrieved from the SEER database. The ratio of observed/expected number of SPMs in pulmonary HGNEC was 1.53. Solid tumours comprised 91% of all second malignancies in lung HGNEC patients, with the most common cancers reported in the oral cavity and pharynx, the urinary and respiratory systems Conclusions Our study observed an increased risk of SPMs among patients with pulmongnancies.

Abstract
Purpose There has been a recent epidemic of human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive oropharyngeal cancer, accounting for 70% to 80% of diagnosed cases. These patients have an overall favorable prognosis and are typically treated with a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. Because these patients live longer, they are at risk of secondary malignant neoplasms (SMNs) associated with radiation therapy. Therefore, we assessed the predicted risk of SMNs after adjuvant radiation therapy with intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT) compared with intensity modulated photon radiation therapy (IMRT) in patients with HPV- positive oropharyngeal cancers after complete resection. Materials and Methods Thirteen consecutive patients with HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers treated with postoperative radiation alone were selected. All patients were treated with pencil beam scanning IMPT to a total dose of 60 Gy in 2 Gy fractions. The IMRT plans were generated for clinical backup and were used for comparative purposes. The SMN risk was calculated based on an organ equivalent dose model for the linear-exponential dose-response curve. Results Median age of the patient cohort was 63 years (range, 47-73 years). There was no difference in target coverage between IMPT and IMRT plans. We noted significant reductions in mean mandible, contralateral parotid, lung and skin organ equivalent doses with IMPT compared with IMRT plans (P < .001). Additionally, a significant decrease in the risk of SMNs with IMPT was observed for all the evaluated organs. Per our analysis, for patients with oropharyngeal cancers diagnosed at a national median age of 54 years with an average life expectancy of 27 years (per national Social Security data), 4 excess SMNs per 100 patients could be avoided by treating them with IMPT versus IMRT. Conclusions Treatment with IMPT can achieve comparable target dose coverage while significantly reducing the dose to healthy organs, which can lead to fewer predicted SMNs compared with IMRT.

Abstract
Aim Advances in therapy have resulted in improved cure rates and an increasing number of long-term Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) survivors. However, radiotherapy (RT)-related late effects are still a significant issue, particularly for younger patients with mediastinal disease (secondary cancers, heart diseases). In many Centers, technological evolution has substantially changed RT planning and delivery. This consensus document aims to analyze the current knowledge of Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) for mediastinal HL and formulate practical recommendations based on scientific evidence and expert opinions. Methods A dedicated working group was set up within the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) Radiotherapy Committee in May 2018. After a first meeting, the group adopted a dedicated platform to share retrieved articles and other material. Two group coordinators redacted a first document draft, that was further discussed and finalized in two subsequent meetings. Topics of interest were: 1) Published data comparing 3D-conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) and IMRT 2) dose objectives for the organs at risk 3) IGRT protocols and motion management. Results Data review showed that IMRT might allow for an essential reduction in the high-dose regions for all different thoracic OAR. As very few studies included specific dose constraints for lungs and breasts, the low-dose component for these OAR resulted slightly higher with IMRT vs. 3D-CRT, depending on the technique used. We propose a set of dose objectives for the heart, breasts, lungs, and thyroid. The use of IGRT is advised for margin reduction without specific indications, such as the use of breath-holding techniques. An individual approach, including comparative planning and considering different risk factors for late morbidity, is recommended for each patient. Conclusions As HL therapy continues to evolve, with an emphasis on treatment reduction, radiation oncologists should use at best all the available tools to minimize the dose to organs at risk and optimize treatment plans. This document provides indications on the use of IMRT/IGRT based on expert consensus, providing a basis for clinical implementation and future development.

Abstract
Background This planning study compares different radiotherapy techniques for patients with pituitary adenoma, including flatness filter free mode (FFF), concerning plan quality and secondary malignancies for potentially young patients. The flatness filter has been described as main source of photon scatter. Material and methods Eleven patients with pituitary adenoma were included. An Elekta Synergy™ linac was used in the treatment planning system Oncentra® and for the measurements. 3D plans, IMRT, and VMAT plans and non-coplanar varieties were considered. The plan quality was evaluated regarding homogeneity, conformity, delivery time and dose to the organs at risk. The secondary malignancy risk was calculated from dose volume data and from measured dose to the periphery using different models for carcinoma and sarcoma risk. Results The homogeneity and conformity were nearly unchanged with and without flattening filter, neither was the delivery time found substantively different. VMAT plans were more homogenous, conformal and faster in delivery than IMRT plans. The secondary cancer risk was reduced with FFF both in the treated region and in the periphery. VMAT plans resulted in a higher secondary brain cancer risk than IMRT plans, but the risk for secondary peripheral cancer was reduced. Secondary sarcoma risk plays a minor role. No advantage was found for non-coplanar techniques. The FFF delivery times were not shortened due to additional monitor units needed and technical limitations. The risk for secondary brain cancer seems to depend on the irradiated volume. Secondary sarcoma risk is much smaller than carcinoma risk in accordance to the results of the atomic bomb survivors. The reduction of the peripheral dose and resulting secondary malignancy risk for FFF is statistically significant. However, it is negligible in comparison to the risk in the treated region. Conclusion Treatments with FFF can reduce secondary malignancy risk while retaining similar quality as with flattening filter and should be preferred. VMAT plans show the best plan quality combined with lowest peripheral secondary malignancy risk, but highest level of second brain cancer risk. Taking this into account VMAT FFF seems the most advantageous technique for the treatment of pituitary adenomas with the given equipment.

Abstract
Radiation therapy represents an important approach in the therapeutic management of children and adolescents with malignant tumors and its application with modern techniques – including Proton Beam Therapy (PBT) – is of great interest. In particular, potential radiation-induced injuries and secondary malignancies – also associated to the prolonged life expectancy of patients – are still questions of concern that increase the debate on the usefulness of PBT in pediatric treatments. This paper presents a literary review of current applications of PBT in non-Central Nervous System pediatric tumors (such as retinoblastoma, Hodgkin Lymphoma, Wilms tumor, bone and soft tissues sarcomas). We specifically reported clinical results achieved with PBT and dosimetric comparisons between PBT and the most common photon-therapy techniques. The analysis emphasizes that PBT minimizes radiation doses to healthy growing organs, suggesting for reduced risks of late side-effects and radiation-induced secondary malignancies. Extended follow up and confirms by prospective clinical trials should support the effectiveness and long-term tolerance of PBT in the considered setting.

Abstract
PURPOSE Multimodal treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) yields excellent outcomes; however, survivors are at risk of developing myriad late and long-term effects. METHODS From a convenience sample of 964 survivors of HL (37%) and NHL (63%) using a publicly available Internet-based survivorship care plan (SCP) tool between 2011 and 2016, we examined patient-reported cancer care, toxicities, and survivorship care data. RESULTS Of all survivors, 67% were female and 84% were white and 88% were free of cancer. Median age of diagnosis was 28 years for survivors of HL and 49 years for NHL. Many survivors reported treatment with chemotherapy (92%), surgery (52%), and/or radiation (41%), with most radiation delivered to chest/mantle fields (81%). Survivors reported a diversity of radiation- and chemotherapy-related sequelae, including thyroid dysfunction, speaking and/or swallowing changes, pulmonary fibrosis/pneumonitis, heart disease, chronic fatigue, neurocognitive decline, neuropathy, sexual changes, and secondary breast cancers. Few reported receipt of previous survivorship information. Most reported management/comanagement by an oncology specialist after active treatment; however, a shift to management by primary care provider alone was observed as a trend over time in follow-up. Sixty-six percent of users who responded to a follow-up survey reported that they intend to share the SCP with their health care team. CONCLUSION Survivors of lymphoma, many of whom are free of disease, report a substantial burden of late and long-term adverse effects, suboptimal delivery of survivorship information, and transitions of care in follow-up in which fragmented systems and/or poor communication may contribute to unmet survivor needs. Multiple opportunities thus exist for which SCPs may be used to improve awareness regarding survivorship and associated adverse effects in addition to communicating follow-up care plans between survivors and treatment teams.
