As a new radiotherapy for carcinomas, Proton Therapy has been making progresses. Compared with conventional radiation, proton has a better physical characteristic and a similar biological effect. Proton Therapy consists of Conformal Proton Radiotherapy, Intensity-Modulated Proton Therapy, Stereotactic Radiotherapy, Proton Scanning Radiation and et al. With the utilization of Bragg peak, Proton therapy can increase the dose of carcinoma region and reduce the dose of normal tissue, and thus it has a good curative effect and can be a good cure for many indications. In spite of the above-mentioned, Proton therapy has to be improved in the future.

The treatment of recurrent head and neck cancers has improved from single modality interventions of surgery and radiation therapy alone to include combined modality therapy with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Combined therapy has led to improved local control and disease-free survival. New developments in radiation oncology such as intensity-modulated radiotherapy, brachytherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery, fractionated stereotactic radiotherapy, have helped to improve this outlook even further. These recent advances allow for a higher dose to be delivered to the tumor while minimizing the dose delivered to the surrounding normal tissue. This article provides an update of the new developments in radiotherapy in the management of previously-irradiated recurrent head and neck carcinoma.

To study the effects of fractioned ir radiation on the total RNA and MDR 1 mRNA of NCI H 446 small cell lung cancer cell line, NCI H446 cells in the period of exponential growth were exposed to 60 Co ? radiation at 2 Gy/fraction, 2 fraction/week, with the cumulative dose of 50 Gy by 25 fractions. The total RNA of the cells of the irradiated group and control group were extracted by the acid guanidine thiocyanate phenol chloroform method and the amount of the expression of MDR 1 mRNA was assessed by qualitative RT PCR assays. Under the conditions of same cell number and volume, in cells of the control group, the concentration of the total RNA was 25 9 ?g/ml and the ratio of MDR 1 DNA/? actinDNA was 1 078, whereas in cells of the irradiation group, the corresponding values were 16 6 ?g/ml and 1 338, respectively. It is concluded that, for the NCI H446 small cell lung cancer cell line, a high dose accumulated during fractioned irradiation can inhibit the synthesis of its total RNA and enhance the expression of its MDR 1 gene at the same time.

Development and metastasis of NSCLC are closely related to angiogenesis.Several distinct groups of vascular-targeted therapies have evolved:anti-VEGF monoclonal antibody,small molecules inhibitors,vascular disrupting agents,endothelial cell growth inhibitors,et al.Antiangiogenic treatment could make longer survival than conventional treatment.The strategy of anti-angiogenic drugs combined conventional treatment is being studied.

Objective To collect the hot spots, development trends, high yield authors and their affiliated institutions by analyzing the papers on pancreatic cancer chemotherapy in recent 5 years. Methods The papers on pancreatic cancer chemotherapy were downloaded from PubMed. Their high frequency subject headings extracted by BICOMB were analyzed by bibliometric double clustering analysis and strategic coordinate analysis. The high yield authors were analyzed by co-authorship group analysis. Results The current studies on pancreatic cancer chemotherapy in foreign countries were focused on the pathological features of pancreatic duct adenocarcinoma before and after chemotherapy, drug therapy of pancreatic cancer according to its genetics, metabolism and pharmacology of antitumor drugs, surgical treatment combined with radiotherapy and chemotherapy for pancreatic cancer. The high yield authors could be divided into two large groups from Japan and USA and a number of small groups. Conclusion New breakthrough points should be found from the matured topics, the topics with a further developmental space should be greatly concerned, and cooperation should be strengthened between study groups or teams.

Objective:This study investigates the clinical effect of bodyγ-knife combined with radiosensitizer and/or hyperthermia. for the recurrence of soft tissue sarcoma. Methods:Sixty-three patients with recurrent soft tissue sarcoma from January 2012 to March 2014 were treated by bodyγ-knife combined with radiosensitizer and/or hyperthermia. The patients were exposed to radiation dose levels of 4-5.5 Gy/fraction (10-13 fractions) with total doses of 44-55 Gy and 55%-70%isodose, including 95%PTV. The radiosensitizer, sodium glycodidazolum (CMNa), was administered to all patients at 1.00-1.50 g V.D qod at 5-6 fractions 0-3 h before bodyγ-knife treat-ment. Hyperthermia for 30 patients was delivered during the bodyγ-knife treatment with two fractions/week for a total of six frac-tions. Results:The total response rate was 77.7%three months after the treatment. The one and two year local control rates were 78.8%and 63.6%, respectively, while the survival rates of patients treated with bodyγ-knife with radiosensitizer at one and two years were 75.7%and 63.6%, respectively. The local control rates at one and two years were 83.6%and 70.0%, respectively, while the surviv-al rates at one and two years for bodyγ-knife combined with radiosensitizer and hyperthermia treatments were 80.0%and 63.3%, re-spectively. Serious complications of radiotherapy were not observed. Conclusion:Bodyγ-knife combined with radiosensitizer and/or hyperthermia is effective for recurrent soft tissue sarcoma.

Objective: To compare the difference of Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) and modified Re-sponse Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (mRECIST) in the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after stereotactic body radio-therapy (SBRT). Methods:From Janurary 2014 to August 2015, thirty-five patients with HCC treated with SBRT were included in De-partment of Radiation Oncology and Integrative Oncology of Navy General Hospital of PLA, and SBRT efficacy was evaluated based on RECIST 1.1 and mRECIST criteria. Results:Under RECIST 1.1, one patient had complete response (CR), 20 had partial response (PR), and 11 achieved stable disease (SD) at three months. Three patients had progressive disease (PD). The overall best response rate (CR+PR) was 60%. In comparison, under mRECIST, 10 patients had CR, 16 had PR, and 6 achieved SD at three months. Three patients had PD. The overall best response rate was 74.28%. The statistical analysis showed that Kappa=0.402 (χ2=43.3, P<0. 001) was less than 0.75 but greater than 0.4, indicating that it had not reached the two diagnostic criteria of consistency degree of satisfaction. According to the mRECIST criteria, the objective remission group (CR+PR) was superior to the nonobjective remission group (SD+PD) in progression-free survival (P<0.001). Conclusion:For unresectable HCC, mRECIST may be more useful than RECIST 1.1 in evaluating HCC response to SBRT.
