Two false statements:
1.High LET radiation is insensitive to hypoxia
2.Carbon ion RT is high LET radiation

Two favourable characteristics
1.Hypoxia is a microenvironment property (not a single cell one)
2.Hypoxia can be measured

Measuring hypoxia
• polarographic needle electrodes• PET

18F-MISO
• First reduction only inside living cells, if pO2> 20 mmHg there is a immediate re-oxidation, otherwise there is a second reduction and the drug can bind to nmacromolecules and accumulate within the cell
• Easy to produce and ship

Cu-ATSM
• First reduction only inside living cells (NADH is needed )
• Second reduction only if low pO2• Good contrast• Radioactive Cu is more difficult to produce:

Scatter plots
W0 describes how fast the radiodrug goes from the blood to the interstitial fluid
Wak3 describes how fast it is trapped in hypoxic cells

a) hypoxic because of poor blood supplyb) Hypoxic despite good blood supply (increased

Three kinds of tumors:
![Page 37: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Can we make good use of these information ?
• More treatment for hypoxic tumors:
– Radiosensitizers (Tirapazamine phase II TRACE closed for excess deaths) maybe not a good idea– Dose escalation ?– Carbon ions ?
![Page 39: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Dose escalation for hypoxic tumors
• More dose to the tumor (uniform dose escalation)
• More dose to the hypoxic tumor (dose painting by contours DPBC)
• The more it is hypoxic the higher the dose (Dose Painting By Numbers DPBN)
![Page 40: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Uniform dose escalation
Hypoxia information is used only to decide weather or not to give an additional 6 Gy (70 76) the volume is decided indipendently (e.g. FDG - PET)
![Page 41: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Dose painting by contours (1)
All the volume with drug uptake (Cu-ATSM) over a threshold receives the boost (80 Gy vs. 70 Gy)
![Page 42: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Dose painting by numbers
More drug (F-Miso) more hypoxiamore dose

Hipoxic volume change (by itself)

Hypoxic volume changes, thanks to RT
• It would be desiderable to describe the change of hypoxia and possibly the influence of RT on reoxygenation.
• Multiple PET over the RT treatment duration would be necessary
![Page 45: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Only 15 HN patients, serial F-Miso (dynamic) PET: at least at 0 and 20 Gy, for some patients also at 50 Gy and 70 Gy

How do perfusion and retention change during therapy ? (according to Thorwarth model)
reoxigenationInflammation ?

What is the effect of reoxygenation ?
Tumor control probability Cancer (stem)
cell density in voxel i
Sum over all teh voxels
Radiosensitivity in voxel i
Dose in voxel i
![Page 48: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
• To describe hypoxia and reoxigenation:
At the beginning radiosensitivity is lower and depends from distance to vessel, after a time tr re-oxygenation takes place
![Page 49: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
• Two assumptions are made by the authors:
• 1 radiosensitivity is directly proportional to F-miso retention
• 2 time to reoxygenation is inversely proportional to perfusion
![Page 50: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Acceptable fit of clinical data strenghtens those assumptions
![Page 51: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
What is the mechanism of reoxygenation ?
• Reduced consumption od stunned tumor cells• Increased perfusion due to inflammation
• Tumor shrinkage
fast
slow
![Page 52: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
• Unpublished data seem to show that a much stronger predictor of poor outcome as compared to hypoxia is failure ot reoxygenate
• Dose escaltion at its best should be given in a clever way (time and space)
• Space the volume that does not re-oxigenate (DPBN or DPBC)
• Time sooner or later ?
![Page 53: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
Sooner or later ?
![Page 54: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
How much dose escalation ?
• Arbitrary : 70 Gy 80 Gy
• Based on TCP model :
M being the excess number of live cell in a voxel due to hypoxia
![Page 55: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
Sooner or later ?
• Appling dose escalation after the re-oxygenation has taken place might be more efficient as you do not ‘waste’ precious extra dose in the initial phase when the hypoxic cells would not be damaged
?
![Page 56: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Conclusions
• Hypoxia and re-oxygenation are important• They are complex but can be measured• Dynamic and repeated PET give a lot of
information• These information can be analyzed
quantitatively and these process can be modellized
![Page 57: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Conclusions
• Groundbreaking work has been done on modellization (but of course clinical confirmation must still be obtained)
• If the models are valited they can be used to drive dose escalation in a rational way telling us what to boost, when to boost and how much to boost
![Page 58: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
Conclusions
• Hypoxia and reoxygenation are relevant also for carbon ion radiotherapy
• Presented methodology could be applied also in hadrontherapy in clinical setting and could give informations on real ability of carbon ion to overcome hypoxia and on optimal combination of carbon and x-ray
![Page 59: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Is time to reoxygenation indepenent from dose ?
![Page 60: The 4 Rs Repair Redistribution Repopulation Reoxygenation](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022020921/56649f315503460f94c4bdb5/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Reality is a complex thing’Hypoxia promotes adaptive processes that lead to tumor aggressiveness, progression, and acquired resistance to treatment … Changes dependent on hypoxia inducible factors(HIF) trigger metabolic adaptation, improved systemic oxygen supply, cell survival, and cell proliferation. Changes independent of HIF promote resistance to apoptosis and uppression of anticancer immune response. Tumors with pO2 values less than 1 mm Hg exhibit genomic changes such as point mutations, chromosomal aberrations, gene amplification, and polyploidy. Genetic instability results in the emergence of new genetic variants that can survive under otherwise lethal conditions, leading to a Darwinian selection process of the most resistant clones’
