Objective:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of simultaneous integrated boost intensity-modulated radiation therapy (SIB-IMRT) for rectal cancer with lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM).Methods:From January 2016 to December 2022, 103 rectal cancer patients with LLNM were enrolled. The patients were divided into SIB-IMRT group (52 cases) and conventional chemoradiotherapy (CRT) group (51 cases) using the random number table method. The dose was 50 Gy for the pelvis with 60 Gy of SIB-IMRT for the LLNM in the SIB-IMRT group. The dose was 50 Gy for the pelvis in the CRT group. The primary endpoint was the lateral recurrence rate. The efficacy and adverse reactions of the two groups were compared.Results:The adverse reactions and surgical complications after neoadjuvant radiotherapy were comparable between the two groups. The response rates of LLNM treatment were 76.9% and 56.9%, respectively, in the two groups ( χ2=4.69, P=0.03). The SIB-IMRT group and CRT group had a local recurrence rate of 7.7% and 25.5% ( χ2=5.92, P=0.015), respectively, and a lateral recurrence rate of 3.8% and 23.5% ( χ2=8.49, P=0.004), respectively. Univariate analysis showed that the SIB-IMRT, short axis of lateral lymph nodes <5 mm after radiotherapy, and negative result in the postoperative lymph node pathological examination were factors associated with lateral recurrence. Multivariable regression analysis demonstrated that the SIB-IMRT ( HR=6.42, 95% CI: 1.40-29.49) and short axis of lateral lymph nodes <5 mm after radiotherapy ( HR=0.17, 95% CI: 0.04-0.66) were independent factors associated with lateral recurrence. The two groups had a 3-year disease-free survival of 73.25% and 62.6% ( P>0.05), respectively, and a 3-year overall survival of 87% and 82.5% ( P>0.05), respectively. Conclusions:The SIB-IMRT is safe and effective for rectal cancer with LLNM. The short axis of lateral lymph nodes <5 mm after neoadjuvant radiotherapy and SIB-IMRT is an independent risk factor for lateral recurrence.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of involved field irradiation (IFI) and elective nodal irradiation (ENI) in treating elderly esophageal cancer patients and identification of associated prognostic factors. Methods A total of 87 elderly esophageal cancer patients who underwent three dimensional (3D) conformal radiation therapy at the Quzhou People's Hospital between July 2011 and August 2013 were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into IFI (n=45) and ENI groups (n=42). Within the IFI group, the gross tumor volume (GTV) included primary esophageal tumors and enlarged lymph nodes, while within the ENI group, the GTV included primary esophageal tumors and lymphatic drainage area of the corresponding esophageal segments. The radiation dosage in both groups was 50-60 Gy/time,5-6 times/week, and continued for 5-6 weeks. The patients were followed by telephone until December 2016. The 1-, 2-, and 3-year overall survival (OS) rate, as well as adverse reactions in the two groups, were compared. The potential factors influencing patient prognosis were also analyzed. Results There were no significant differences in the 1-, 2-, and 3-year OS between the two groups (P>0.05). The incidence of radiation pneumonitis in both groups was not significantly different (P>0.05). The incidence of radiation esophagitis in the IFI group was lower than the ENI group (P<0.05). Tumor site, KPS score, and radiotherapy approach did not significantly affect the 3-year OS (P>0.05), while the 3-year OS differed significantly among patients as a function of gender, age, T stage, and N stage (P<0.05). Multivariate Cox regression analysis suggested that age〔RR=2.334,95%CI (1.144, 4.759)〕 and T stage 〔RR=0.361,95%CI (0.179, 0.729)〕were independent prognostic factors for elderly patients with esophageal cancer (P<0.05). Conclusion IFI and ENI were shown to have comparable efficacy; however, IFI has the advantage of reducing the severity of radiation esophagitis compared with ENI. Age and T stage were shown to be independent prognostic factors for elderly patients with esophageal cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of radiotherapy combined with xeloda monotherapy in the treatment of elderly patients with rectal cancer.Methods 80 elderly patients with rectal cancer were retrospectively collected.The patients were assigned into study group (n=43) or control group (n=37) according to the treatment way.The study group adopted radiotherapy combined with xeloda,while the control group only treated with radiotherapy.The main indicators included major clinical outcomes (3-year survival rate,recurrence rate,progression free survival),and postoperative health related quality of life and major complications of the two groups were observed.Results Compared with the control group,the 3-year recurrence rate of the study group decreased significantly (25.58% vs.48.65%,x2=4.579,P=0.032);the progression free survival was significantly prolonged [(42.58±7.63)months vs.(34.95±6.30)months,t=7.495,P=0.000];the quality of health related life after 1 year increased significantly [(75.50±8.11) vs.(69.76±9.58),t=3.295,P=0.002].There were no significant differences in postoperative major complications (granulocyte reduction,diarrhea,nausea,vomiting,hand foot syndrome and sensory neuropathy) and 3-year survival rate between the two groups (all P>0.05).ConclusionRadiotherapy combined with xeloda chemotherapy helps improve progression free survival and recurrence rate in elderly patients with rectal cancer.
Radiotherapy is widely used in the treatment of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), whereas its effects on the NPC growth, survival, and metastases have not been completely evaluated. Here, we compared the detected metastatic NPC tissues after radiotherapy (m-NPC) to the resected primary NPC tissues prior to radiotherapy (p-NPC). We detected higher levels of Snail2 protein, but not mRNA in m-NPC, compared to p-NPC. In vitro, a modest irradiation on NPC cells resulted in significant cell death, but increased Snail2 protein, but mRNA levels in the surviving NPC cells. Bioinformatics analyses showed that miR-613, which was significantly decreased in NPC cells after irradiation, targeted the 3′-UTR of Snail2 mRNA to inhibit its translation. Moreover, miR-613 overexpression inhibited Snail2-mediated cell invasiveness, while miR-613 depletion increased Snail2-mediated cell invasiveness in NPC cells. Finally, we detected significantly lower levels of miR-613 in m-NPC, compared to p-NPC. Together our data suggest that although radiotherapy induced NPC cell death, it may increase Snail2-mediated NPC cell invasiveness through downregulating miR-613.
