All plans for all patients reached prescription doses while

adhering to dose constraints. The average volumes of GTV-

histo, GTV-union and GTV-intersection were 7±8 ml, 9±9

ml and 3±4 ml. In Plan95

union

and Plan95

intersection

the mean

doses on GTV-histo were 95.7±1.5 Gy and 90.7±6.9 Gy,

respectively (p=0.016). Average TCP-histo values were

63±29%, 99±1% and 90±11% for Plan77, Plan95

union

and

Plan95

intersection

respectively. PLAN95

union

had significantly

higher TCP-histo values than Plan77 (p=0.016) and

Plan95

intersection

(p=0.03). There were no significant

differences in rectal and bladder NTCPs between the 3

plans.

Conclusion

IMRT dose painting for primary PCa using combined

68

Ga-

HBED-CC PSMA-PET/CT and mpMRI was technically

feasible. A dose escalation to GTV-union resulted in

significantly higher TCPs without higher NTCPs.

Purpose or Objective

Using simulation from histopathological cancer prostate

specimen, the objectives were to identify the total dose

corresponding to various fractionations necessary to

destroy the tumor cells (50% to 99.9%) and to assess the

impact of the Gleason score on these doses.

Material and Methods

Histopatological specimen were extracted from 7 patients

having radical prostatectomy. A senior uropathologist

manually delineated all tumor foci on the hematoxylin and

eosin-stained axial slides and assigned Gleason scores (GS)

to each individual focus. Antibodies CD31 were used as

blood vessel markers. Three slide samples per patient,

corresponding to a surface of 2000µm x1200µm, were

scanned and used within a simulation model developed in

the Netlogo software (Figure 1). The model contained the

following cells: tumor cells with a density ranging from

45% to 85%, endothelial cells with a density ranging from

0.3 to 8% and normal cells. The samples were GS:7 (3+4)

for 47.6%, GS:7 (4+3) for 28.6% and GS:8 (4+4) for 23.8%.

We used the equations of the model simulating the

radiation response of hypoxic tumors published by

Espinoza et al.

(Med Phys 2015)

. The model parameters

were adjusted to biological values from the literature:

diffusion coefficient (2.10

-9

m²/s), Vmax and Km of oxygen

consumption (15 and 2.5 mmHg), tumor cells proliferation

(1008 hours), half-life of dead cells (168 hours), α (0.15

Gy

-1

) and β (0.048 Gy

-2

) of the linear-quadratic model.

Three fractionations were tested, at 2, 2.5 and 3

Gy/fraction at 24h interval. Five simulations were

performed by slide sample. The objectives were to

identify the total dose, at each fractionation, to kill 50%

to 99.9% of the tumor cells.

Results

A total of 315 simulations were performed. Figure 2 shows

the total doses necessary to kill 50% to 99.9% of the tumor

cells, depending on the fractionation. The mean (SD)

doses (Gy) to kill 99% of the tumor cells were therefore 72

(±14), 68 (±13) and 65 (±12) for fractionations (Gy) of 2,

2.5 and 3, respectively. The mean (SD) doses (Gy) to kill

99.9% of the tumor cells were therefore 107 (±17),

101(±16) and 94 (±15) for fractionations (Gy) of 2, 2.5 and

3, respectively. The foci with GS 7: 4+3 needed

significantly higher doses than the foci with GS 7: 3+4 to

destroy the tumor cells from 50% to 99.9%, at all

fractionations (Mann-Whitney test).

Conclusion

Our histopathological specimen based simulations allowed

to estimate the total doses necessary to kill the tumor

cells, depending on the fractionation. GS: 4+3 tissue

appears more radioresistant than GS:3+4 tissue.

Purpose or Objective

Cancer immunotherapy is a promising treatment modality

that is currently under strong development with a large

number of ongoing pre-clinical and clinical studies. In an

attempt to improve the treatment efficacy combinatorial

strategies are explored, and the combination of

immunotherapy and radiotherapy is of particular interest,

since more than half of all cancer patients already receive

radiotherapy as part of their treatment. It is well known

that radiation has immunomodulatory effects. In addition

to killing off tumor cells as well as immune effector cells,

radiation also affects the release of tumor antigens, the

dendritic cell activity and antigen presentation, the
