Abstract

Background

To develop and validate a nomogram for the prediction of symptomatic radiation pneumonitis (RP) in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who received definitive concurrent chemoradiotherapy.

Methods

Clinical factors, dose-volume histogram parameters, and pulmonary function parameters were collected from 402 ESCC patients between 2010 and 2017, including 321 patients in the primary cohort and 81 in the validation cohort. The end-point was the occurrence of symptomatic RP (grade ≥ 2) within the first 12 months after radiotherapy. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were applied to evaluate the predictive value of each factor for RP. A prediction model was generated in the primary cohort, which was internally validated to assess its performance.

Results

In the primary cohort, 31 patients (9.7%) experienced symptomatic RP. Based on logistic regression model, patients with larger planning target volumes (PTVs) or higher lung V20 had a higher predictive risk of RP, whereas the overall risk was substantially higher for three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) than intensity-modulated radiotherapy. On multivariate analysis, independent predictive factors for RP were smoking history (P = 0.035), radiotherapy modality (P < 0.001), PTV (P = 0.039), and lung V20 (P < 0.001), which were incorporated into the nomogram. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve of the nomogram in the primary and validation cohorts were 0.772 and 0.900, respectively, which were superior to each predictor alone.

Conclusions

Non-smoking status, 3DCRT, lung V20 (> 27.5%), and PTV (≥ 713.0 cc) were significantly associated with a higher risk of RP. A nomogram was built with satisfactory prediction ability.

Vorhofflimmern: Antikoagulation vor Schlaganfall von Vorteil

Erleiden Menschen mit Vorhofflimmern einen ischämischen Schlaganfall, ist dieser weniger schwer, auch sind Infarktgröße und Blutungsrisiko geringer, wenn sie zuvor orale Antikoagulanzien erhalten haben. Die Art der Antikoagulation spielt dabei keine Rolle.

Frühe CLL-Therapie: BTK-Hemmer verlängert EFS und PFS, aber nicht OS

Auch nach sechs Jahren ergibt sich kein Überlebensvorteil einer Therapie mit dem BTK-Hemmer Ibrutinib für Menschen mit frühem CLL-Stadium und erhöhtem Progressionsrisiko. Die Progressionsrate wird mit der Behandlung jedoch um über 80% gesenkt.

Mehr Cholesterin im Essen = höheres Herzinfarktrisiko

Je mehr Cholesterin man täglich über die Nahrung zu sich nimmt, desto höher ist offenbar das Herzinfarktrisiko – das legt eine Studie mit US-Veteranen zumindest für Männer nahe.

Antikoagulation bei Vorhofflimmern: Sind DOAK noch zu toppen?

Gegen Thromboembolien so wirksam wie ein DOAK, bei zugleich geringerem Blutungsrisiko – werden Faktor-XI-Hemmer als neue Antikoagulanzien dieser Erwartung gerecht? Eine aktuell publizierte Vergleichsstudie gibt darüber Aufschluss.
